Great advise and points above. I'd advise to go and read some/most/all of the pinned important threads in the various subforums. Spend some time reading the various posts and the advice everyone is getting on their questions. And then make your own plan on how to take on calorie counting. "Logging the food" won't magically…

Great advise above. I'd only add, that those three links for the most important posts are for me close to a "must read" - so many helpful points in them that it can really give you a great kickoff of your journey.

I recommend this one: https://tdeecalculator.net/ TDEE is your Total Daily Energy Expenditure, a measure of how many calories you burn per day by simply being alive, breathing, blinking, living your active or not active life. The little calculator also offers you suggestions if you want to lose weight - usually not more…

My number one "trick" and the reason why I keep on getting back to MFP is that I've created my own database of foods and recipes over here, so I'm 100% sure that when I log my food it's the correct values and there are no "errors", 5 calories here, 10 there, 12 in the third place and in the long run you might end up eating…

I'm back on MFP. First step towards a healthier me.

The Secret World of Slimming Clubs

Peaceful Warrior. It's based on the book Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman.

Starting with a PT is a actually a great start! If you are looking for inspiration, that's the topic: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/977538/halp-heavy-lifting-made-me-supah-bulky

Went to the cinema and didn't get popcorn. Been having a few really downish blueish blehish days, but I am not allowing myself to just use food to feel the void.

Today marks my 30 days of consistent logging & mindful eating.

I am a stress/emotional eater/binger. It's been a struggle, but back when I first started using MFP it got me to learn how to be mindful about food. So, binging is now quite under control - I was just saying in another thread, that I haven't had a binge in maybe a couple of years. Stress snacking, however... that's what…

Have kind of an emotional (negative) day, and while I did contemplate a pity party for one with beer and ice-cream, I didn't do it as I hadn't budgeted the calories.

I gained about 30+lbs 4 years ago after I had a torn ACL, surgery and a long recovery. Not that I gained the 30+lbs in the course of a few months, but the knee injury was the thing that tripped me and put me on a lazy/eating mode. The actual gain was a gradual thing that just crept over the years - and it had already begun…

#Disclaimer - I'm not diagnosed with BED, but I've always thought that I'm quite close to it. I could eat 3-4k+ calories in one sitting - finish off a pizza, followed by a pint of ice-cream, then a bar of chocolate, then maybe cookies, and finally snack on some nuts or whatever is left. And I also have a big problem with…

Congrats! Looking great!

@PAV8888 Thank you for sharing your story. It was exactly what I needed to read today.

What a lovely story to start my day with <3 Thanks for sharing and congrats!

I weigh myself daily and log everything in an excel where I've input all lovely formulas to give me different estimations. For example, I know that right now I should have lost weight due to my calorie intake, but I just restarted my workouts, so I saw a climb of 1 lbs /0.5kg in a matter of 2 days. Water retention. And…

Count me in!

Hello everyone! I've been back on track for the past couple of weeks and today I restarted my fitness journey as well. I've been on&off mfp for years now - whenever I track my CICO I'm always losing, but the moment I lose control I lose it for loooong (I'm just back from a 6+ months long hiatus). My stats as of this…

Congrats!

I went lingerie shopping today. My bra is now same cup, but two sizes smaller chest. :)

A month ago I bought some new business clothes as I had a couple of business trips beginning of April. Those clothes are now big on me. Yay! But tomorrow I'm going on another business trip and my wardrobe is now much more limited >.<

Do you measure everything you eat (and by measure I mean with a food scale)? Do you log absolutely everything - drinks, veggies, fruits, tiny snacks, oils, etc? Your diary is closed, so it's a bit hard to give advice. But keep in mind that having restarted your workouts you might be observing water retention which is…

Well, kudos for finishing! I'd seek those two guys out and apologize, maybe treat them to a beer or something. I'm sure this kind of things happen quite often and after all it's part of the biking world.

Please give Willie an extra hug from me <3

I turned on my sarcastic side and actually told them that naaah, I'm thinking about losing some more and then I wanna see how fat I can get again.

Day 1 of New Rules of Lifting for Women. I'm already feeling it. And I thought that a month of Strong Curves would have prepared me xD
