  • I've only been in maintenance since October of 22 (45 pounds lost), but I could not have said this better myself. All of it! I have a scale at home, and one at work. When people at work see me weighing food, they often ask me "what diet I'm on." No diet--it's just what I do to stay at or near my goal weight (within my 5…

  • I went to an event recently. I loaded my plate with salad and crab legs. I LOVE bread, but before I ate the calories, I wanted to know if it was worth it. A family member ripped off a piece of hers and I could tell by touch that it was hard/dry, so I passed. I did put a serving of gnocchi on my plate, knowing it would be…

  • I was recently CRAVING a fresh banana shake--it's been years since I've had one. I looked up the calories and saw that I had room in my budget for half the calories. I bought the shake, immediately poured out half, and enjoyed the other half.

  • I'm right there with you on this sentiment. I've noticed that I MUST log -- learned that the hard way. Lost a lot of inches and pounds about 6 years ago then "trusted" myself to know the right amount of this or that. That was a 30-pound mistake. I'm at almost 300 days logging and for right now, I'm thinking of it as…

  • Thank you! Progress on losing the last 15 pounds has been SLOW and more difficult. I log meticulously (almost always by gram--not guessing and not cups or ounces) and I use extra or banked calories for treats or big meals. I'm not exercising yet and I have no doubt that when I do start, I'll gain weight, but I expect the…

On vacation, I couldn't fully enjoy myself because I was very self-conscious of my body. The day I returned, I got back on MFP and I'm somewhere…
