I thought this was gonna be about your partner eating all the snacks in front of you while you're trying to stop having them 😄.

Almonds and dried lentil snack things are great hunger busters for me!

I live in the UK but am originally from USA.

I love your profile name!! Sending you a request 😉

Hey there! Welcome back to mfp. I'll be sending you a request :)

I've just joined but I'm very nervous as I am struggling on my journey right now.

Well done Bill!!! I'm roughly 5 wks in. I've not made huge progress as I keep making bad/lazy choices

I too am struggling but wanted to let you know I am here for you. It's just a bump in the road, we can do it!!

I'm trying to lose weight so right now I'm just focusing on my calories but trying to hit the protein goal. When I get better at the calorie counting and see some changes I plan to focus on the macros more in the hopes I can balance my foods better.

I'm 1,290 cals. I do exercise but I do not log these workouts as it gives you calories back and I don't want to workout thinking I can have 2 cookies or something. I admit I could also exercise more.

I needed this little reminder today, thank you.

Drink a glass or 2 of water or even have a fruity tea. I like mango green tea :).

Losing weight/ changing your lifestyle is a struggle. If you've lost 6lbs so far and your first goal is to get to 10lbs down then you're just over half way! You are doing it!!! ☺ Nothing changes over night and it is hard work, you will be hungry sometimes but little by little you will get there. You've already done good…

The not nice thing I did was wake up.

I just tried this stuff last week, was on offer for £3.50. It was worth every penny!!!! I got the peanut butter one.

How long have you had the fitbit and do you think it's worth it?? I've been considering one for a long time but never spend money on myself lol.

A massive congratulations on your sobriety!!!! You should be ever so proud of yourself and I send you the most positive vibes on continuing that success.

Just keep going. You can do it, same way your friend did it. Try swimming or home workout videos. I also go walking/hiking but the truth is I need to sweat more in order to lose more, I have to work harder. You do not have to join a gym to do that. Keep up your walking but also include some heavy sweat fests on those days.…

I'm im Scotland. :)

I use coffee creamer powder. I do not like the reduced fat one as it doesn't give the same flavour and isn't much different in the calories. Coffee with coffee creamer powder isn't something I'm willing to give up completely. I have just 1 coffee a day and if I want another one in the afternoon I go for a hot tea instead.…

A huge congratulations on your hard work!!!

I enjoy soda, can't lie. I refuse to drink diet soda though as it has aspartame. They used to have this coca cola life that had stevia I believe but they don't do it any longer where I live. I try to only have soda at the weekend or special occasions. I find flavoured fizzy water is delicious and the one I drink has no…

Going for a walk in a park or a hike somewhere is something I've found very helpful. I usually bump into older folks or dog walkers, not too many overly fit people. Just put my headphones in, smile and go!! I enjoy the time in nature and the reflection time I get. Swimming early in the morning is also good because it's…

Would love some positive motivation. I'm not a gym bunny but I'm doing this little by little. I'm a mother, a wife and I study part time. One thing I do keep telling myself is "I can do this!"
