2 things so far: Adding substance to my breakfast, like mixing protein powder into my cereal milk, helps control hunger all day. Nearly all of my calorie excess is due to booze. Not to say that I need to drop alcohol completely, but getting it in more moderation would be helpful for my goals.

TL;DR: Great frameworks for getting people's minds right, so they stop judging each other, expand the idea of "healthy" and don't obsessively crash-diet. But harmful at the extremes, when anti-dieters judge people who have chosen to try and lose weight. No one should assume they know what other people should do for their…

I love this thread! 5'3", 140lbs right now, and started MFP with my husband 3 weeks ago. I felt my best two years ago at 125, so that's my goal for now. 15lbs doesn't sound like a lot, but you all know it makes a big difference on a small frame. I haven't been happy watching my weight creep up, so I am taking control of it…

Thank you all, especially @brisingr86 and @makattack220 ! :) I feel much less worried that I'm gonna undermine all of my efforts by not paying attention to these small things. Your words really helped :)

Might sound weird, but I need some encouragement to be on MFP LESS! Starting is so simple - calories in, calories out. But I have gone down so many rabbit holes in the past few days that make me anxious and question everything about my current approach: many macro and micronutrient discussions, strength training vs HIIT vs…

Awesome jump! No kidding, Mike! I think I would be capable of a higher box jump than I currently do, but I just have this image of not jumping high enough and breaking my nose on the box!

Love your smile in the second photo - just sheer confidence! Congratulations on what you've achieved so far!

@makattack220 what are some of your favorite swaps? I've made simple swaps for snacks, but I'm such a recipe-follower that I'm nervous to swap out ingredients in them, for fear of messing them up. Would love to know what has worked for you!

Hello! Happy to be here - I've used MFP before, mostly for maintenance, but I'm here for weight loss this time :) 29 yo, 5'3", 140 lbs right now... 15ish lbs gained just in the past year, so I'm here to reverse that unfortunate trend! Nice and slow though, only -0.5lbs/week I had a weird sort of motivational moment the…

Super excited to share - Sabra dark chocolate hummus. It looks weird next to all the savory hummus, but it tastes a lot like chocolate icing. 80 cal for 2 tbsp, and it goes great with strawberries or pretzel thins <3

I'm one week back into logging my food (this is MFP round 3 or 4 for me) and my nemesis has always been sweets. For this entire week, I have been under my sugar recommendation, and I'm NOT craving candy all the time! My family has a history of diabetes, so I feel like this is a tiny step towards avoiding that result for…

Moving every day and meal planning every week! My husband and I were doing really well at those things a few years ago, but we got off track and now we don't feel anywhere close to our best selves. There is a lot of superficial thinking - of COURSE I want to look "better" - but I'm also trying to replace that with a more…
