  • This was literally my turning point. I've tried every thing on the planet to lose weight - for about a week at a time, until the rules, the hunger, or the rebellion got too much. But this dude a) lost weight on Twinkies and a multivitamin, and b) had better health indicators because the weight came off, not because he was…

  • When I'm munching but not hungry, I brush my teeth or suck on an Altoid - both strong mint flavors. Somehow it short-circuits the munchies.

  • The MFP app counts my steps. I don't have any other trackers. I haven't logged any exercise today other than the steps the app logs automatically. It went down a small amount (maybe 40 calories?) after I lowered my weight. It's just when I logged in today, the goal weight was way up. I'm just trying to figure out which…
