Hey Ben! You can do it. I've tried to lose a bunch of ways, from secretly setting goals that I told no one about for fear of disappointing them and embarrassing myself, all the way to joining public programs. I can say with certainty that it's a lot easier to keep on track with enthusiasts in your corner. I'll cheer you on…

Its amazing how people in our lives unknowingly sabotage our efforts, eh? MFP is the biggest thing encouraging me. People will say "oh you look great!" And in the next breath invite me out for junk food haha so its good to have the numbers right in front of me to keep me accountable. I've got my diary open to keep me even…

I love that everyone is being so supportive of having some soul food. I've had a few "cheat days" here and there this summer and I'm so riddled with guilt about it that I usually way undereat the next day and feel gross about for a week or so. This is all fantastic advice! I'm looking forward to my mom's buttery smashed…

What day a person ovulates completely depends on the person's cycle length and will vary person to person within that. Some people naturally have a standard 28 day cycle, others are shorter and others longer and it can be different month to month for some women too. Thats why the rhythm method of birth control is as faulty…

This is going to sound weird but using your hand as a size scale helps. Everyone's hands are different so to use the "one serving is the size of the palm of your hand" trick only works if you know how big your hand is compared to the measurements of food. So if you weight some of your favourite foods and hold it in your…

All i mean by the bolded is that you need food to live. If you are starving yourself you will lose weight, yes, of course, but you may also die of starvation. If not that severe than at least be exhausted all the time and dizzy and lacking essential nutrients for a healthy body. You have to eat. Every living thing on this…

Thats why the app give a you a little pep talk to hit your calorie goals if you under-eat for the day and won't give you your predicted weight. Im not a doctor or a…

I've been going Since mid may and I've lost quite a bit but i had a lot to lose. I Started seeing a difference in about a month. Take progress pictures in the same clothes along your journey, like a bathing suit or something so you can actually see your body, and stand in the same position, same lighting, etc, and it…
