  • I just want to share a little 7experience, here. I spent a lifetime dealing with issues that made it difficult for me to adjust my food. I'm neurodivergent, have a bunch of neurological and physiological limitations to what I am physically able to eat, and have disordered eating from childhood that makes it emotionally…
  • I believe that what we eat IS important. You can lose weight eating junk food, because weight gain and loss are a simple matter of a chemical reaction -- but your body will take damage over time from eating insufficient nutrients, and it can sabotage weight loss by escalating cravings as your body searches for what may be…
  • It's more about how your body is built and where and what kind of clothes you prefer. I've always preferred looser styles with lots of 'flow'. I've lost about 30 lbs and dropped one pant size, but I also was VERY VERY large, so I have a lot of loose/excess skin and overhang and such, which means that even though I fit into…

  • I'm older -- in my 60s -- but 1900 kcal would cause weight-gain for me. If you're working out consistently for 30+ minutes a day at medium or higher intensity and you're not losing weight on your current intake, then you won't be able to 'exercise' the difference away. You'll need to reduce your calorie intake. It took me…
  • I've been having this same problem for several days now. I've had to just delete the item and re-add it.
  • I -am- an addict. I had to go through a lot of therapy to be able to say that, because people can't understand how food can be an addiction, and I wasn't any different. That's one reason I came -back- to MFP. I'd gotten into a cycle where I was finding reasons that it was okay to eat stuff that I know contributes to my…
