I usually don't log things that are under 5 calories (this isn't on purpose or a rule for myself, it just happens that way). I definitely don't log breath mints or gum. I don't log cooking spray or vitamins, and I don't log spices. If I eat one baby carrot or something as low-calorie as that, I don't log unless I have…

This is so heartbreaking. I'm sorry you're going through this. Don't lose hope - you deserve much better and you still have plenty of time to start again. My father did at 55 and found his perfect match.

I definitely agree that it can be hard when others have treats around you. My boyfriend is a little more health conscious than he was before, but still eats things that I love (chips with cheese or other dips, Girl Scout cookies, snack cakes, etc.) and it gets frustrating sometimes to try to avoid eating it myself. I'll…

It hasn't come in the mail yet - it's supposed to come today.

Definitely agree! It's just a pain when I step on the scale and see that I'm gaining weight even when I'm working so hard. It doesn't help that it's hard to see physical progress on yourself, too - other people mention that I look skinnier and healthier, but I just don't see it.

Yeah, it's really slow moving. When I was really active a few years ago I hovered around 135, but since I'm quite sedentary as well (I work at a call center) I feel like I just keep gaining and gaining. That's a great method for logging, I'll have to give that a try!

I was eating about 1400 calories per day when I was eating healthier. My Apple watch would track my exercise, and I would manually log my calories in MFP for each of the foods I ate by using the Nutrition Facts. I haven't tried using a food scale, maybe that would be a better way to log.

Thank you! I would love to do some boxing classes - maybe I will look into that!

Thanks for the advice! I did start out with the .5 pound goal, but it felt like I was eating way too many calories. I have it set at the 2 pound goal, and sometimes I'm about 100 calories over my goal but not usually much more unless I go to a special occasion (like Thanksgiving dinner - I allowed that as a cheat day). I…

19, 5'7", and 153 last time I checked.

One of the main things I did was run every single day for a half hour, and it didn't seem to make any changes even when I was eating a lot healthier. The one thing I saw improvement was when I was doing Nike+ Kinect, but I don't have enough room in my house anymore to do that because it requires you to be in a really…
