At the end of 2020 I started a 2.5 year period of regaining weight. During this time, I had a couple longer periods where I was managed to stay on plan but the scale went up instead of down, despite what the tracker said should be happening. I was already struggling to keep going, and that squashed any motivation I had.…

@BihtSift I have a 24 year-old friend who is trying to get abs like yours... @happimess01 Your transformation is just phenomenal. And everyone else, too!!! I'm feeling inspired after catching up on this thread this morning!

You must be such a good dad.

I love them tanned or bronzed, and nice and melty all the way through. I don't care about smores, but I could sit and eat marshmallow after marshmallow if they're roasted this way. 😂

My nose runs when I work out. Someone told me that that's my body getting rid of toxins. 🙄🙄

The two thoughts I have are these: 1) The MFP calculator calculates your calorie goal without exercise calories and then you can add workouts and it gives you more calories for the day. If you used a calculator that adds workout calories into your daily goal like online TDEE calculators do, then you won't want to log your…

Oh boy, do I relate to this feeling! I had a period of over 3 years I was doing everything right and lost weight slowly and consistently. Then it was like a switch flipped off in my head and for the last couple years, I have had a similar mental block and no matter how much I wanted to stop it, and no matter how many times…

Yes, I agree with everything you said here! I'll certainly concede that nutritious is a better way to express what I meant.

I have long believed that a large number of arguments and debates occur because of word choices, when the opposing sides are assigning different meaning to words, phrases, or figures of speech. I've seen this so many times. One of the most prevalent argument-inducing issues I've witnessed here at MFP is the lack of…

Yes, thank you. I shall be singing this all day now.

Wow, awesome job! You look like you're going backward in age.

😂😂😂😂 I have never heard this one!

I love me some spreadsheets and charts. :) You're doing fantastic!

Oh, I could rant about tipping for ages! 1) I struggle with tipping as a percentage of meal cost. It's probably the most logical or easiest way to account for the overall work a server does, but in my mind there's an unfairness there. This also trains servers to give lower quality service to people who order smaller meals…

I only have an opinion because I've used both. My opinions are just based on my experience, and I quit WW over 5 years ago so my knowledge of WW is probably outdated. I would say they're not "essentially the same". WW points used to be based primarily on calories, but even before I quit they had changed it to a combination…

@ontrac You can share your success here with absolutely NO guilt!!! The hugest of congratulations to you on what you have accomplished!

@Gisel2015 I liked this article. It's definitely geared toward moving, but there are still some great tips in there even if you're not.

@BartBVanBockstaele That sucks, dude. 😖 Even if you have found ways to manage the worst of it, with those extreme symptoms I'd certainly talk to a doctor about it (if you haven't already done so).

@Sand_TIger I have an embroidery project that has been floating around in a ziploc bag for years (because I only work at it on rare occasions). I should totally put that thing in a nice box or tin!! Then it could sit on my coffee table and maybe I'd pull it out more often. Also, what is DeviantArt?

Gosh, I love that poem! I've been thinking a lot lately about changing habits and changing my subconscious or automatic behavior patterns. That poem is such a good illustration of what I want! I also liked your analysis of the last 29 years. I first had some successful weight loss in 2005. I've thought about it so many…

Congratulations on the weight lost so far; you're doing great!! I love that it's a "side effect" of your healthy way of life. "Are there even exercises for obese people like me or do I have to invent my own?" I felt this comment. You autoimmune disorder and constant pain make your battle so much harder than mine, but I…

I love this thread, but boy does it make me want to slap people.
