That said! Now that I'm used to using it, I've gotten pretty good at eyeballing things. Once you weigh certain things a few times you obviously get a better idea of what a portion size is, and you get a handle on, for instance, what 100 grams feels and looks like, which is useful if you're in a hurry or your stupid scale…

Getting a digital food scale was by far the single most important factor contributing to my being able to lose weight. I'm pretty much not capable of losing weight without using it, I wish I was exaggerating. I got to my goal weight a while ago and then got pretty lax about it and decided to see what would happen if I…

I also find that pre-logging works really well for me, I end up spending a lot less time trying to figure out what to eat, which I'll otherwise often end up doing when I start to feel hungry at which point options may be limited or I may be more prone to make poor impulse decisions. It also helps me cut down on food waste…

What else are you putting into your fruit smoothie for breakfast? Fruit is great but if you're not pairing it with protein of some kind, it's probably causing a spike and then a dip in your blood sugar levels which may leave you feeling pretty hungry again a little while after you consume it.

It's added sugar that's problematic, you don't need to worry about natural sugars from fruits and vegetables (unless you have a medical condition like diabetes). That's of course if you're eating the fruit whole and unprocessed rather than in a processed food with added fructose or fruit derived sweeteners, those aren't…

I can relate to this, I've never liked the shape of my body and where fat tends to go, and always kind of assumed that if I lost enough weight I'd be happy with everything. Turns out to not be not the case, I'm 5'6" and got down to 124lbs a couple months ago and still am not happy with my shape, I just feel like a thinner…

I currently have my MFP calorie limit set to 1200 calories, I'd like to lose about 10 pounds. I did it a few months ago and then gained most of it back so I'm starting over. Personally, I find that my appetite fluctuates quite a bit related to my hormonal cycle, some days 1200 is completely fine, other days it's not…

I can completely relate. Last year I tried calorie counting with MFP for the first time and got all the way down to my goal weight which I've never been able to do. I felt so great that I decided I could stop keeping track for a bit and see what happens and man, it's very easy to put all the weight back on! I stopped…
