You look like a completely different person! Unreal!!

I've begun trying online dating recently as well and it is complicated. First and foremost, at least for me, your confidence has to be in a dating mindset mode. As far as MFP is concerned I've lost about 80-90 pounds but altogether it's something like 150-160 and growing up that big really does a number on your self worth…

What worked for my plateaus was switching exercise and really cracking down on the diet. If you go for walks, try riding a bicycle for a few weeks, or swimming.

Like some others have said, getting those foods out of the house is the biggest step. Also as Mulecanter said, down a big glass of water, that usually helps. What I've found helps when I'm hungry when I shouldn't be or feel like chowing down I pop a couple jalapenos. If your body is anything like mine you won't feel like…

This is what I figured. I guess I just trusted myself at this point to eyeball what I was eating but that clearly isn't working. Time to dust off the food scales, lol.

This may be contrary to some thinking here but the food logs are not meant to become a permanent part of your life. They're simply a way for you to become more aware of how many calories you need, how much food you should actually be eating, etc. Once you get a grasp of that, you don't even really need to do it anymore as…
