At my heaviest, years ago, I actually bought suspenders for my work pants. I didn't want to buy new clothes until I'd lost all the weight. It was maybe a little extreme but it was effective.

Didn't realize you were a repeat poster about weight loss complaints. I'm backing slowly out of this conversation.

Need more details. There is more than just "being on MyFitnessPal". What are your calorie goals? Are you weighing your food? What food are you eating? How much exercise do you do? Can't help without some background.

Plan plan plan plan. If you know you have a party where you're going to eat a little more, plan for it. Budget your other meals to fit it in to your daily goals.

1egg. 1 sausage. 2 cups of coffee. Basic.

Agree with capaul42. If you're eating that big of a breakfast, lunch kind of becomes a non issue. Just go light or skip. Then a sensible dinner! Problem solved!

Well...what happened?!

He just asks a lot of questions if things aren't fair. He wants us to do a lot of the same things. He's a mommys boy to be fair. My meatloaf recipe is actually really healthy. Full of veggies. Half the meat. I wish I could say he doesn't care, but the impression he gives me is that he does care.

The thing is that, compared to his dad, I'm very healthy. In fact, I'm not even considered overweight. I'm trying to drop a few extra lbs right now to fit into a stupid dress for a wedding in 4 weeks, so eating at maintenance is not currently an option. I don't like telling him I'm on a diet, because all things considered,…

You also point out that it's ok to eat a little more of your favorites. Sausage is his favorite, literally, it's what he takes to school for their thanksgiving celebrations since he was 2. I will continue to give him 3. I'm not worried about his nutritional intake. I am more concerned about him thinking about what I'm…

Hmmm. I'm at 1200. He definitely eats more than 1400. I try to make sure what's going in is all healthy stuff but he's always hungry. He's not overweight at all, but he's very tall for his age.

I do tell him these things. I just wish I didn't have to. It can be hard mostly because the eating plans at the two houses are so vastly different. I've been told by mutual friends that you are hard pressed to find something green in his dad's house. But here we eat lots of veg. I more wish that he was getting consistent…

Because we are having a picnic today. He wanted pb&j. The bread costs me quite a few calories. Then he wants meatloaf for supper. Put it all together and I'm just under my calories for the day. I like to leave a little bit of calories for an after supper snack. Again, I could eat half a sandwich, but I don't want him…

A serving size is 3. My kid looks at it like if I make 4 we should each get two. He's very concerned about fairness, as most 6 yo's are.

Yes. This. You must promise to post tomorrow what happens!

We are supposed to be a supportive community here. She is going with EIGHT other people. Is she supposed to just cut herself off from her friends because they want to eat somewhere that YOU don't deem acceptable? Address the question at hand and keep the hating to yourself.

I'm a type 1 diabetic, just for background. I strictly use MFP for calorie tracking purposes. My impression is that MFP does track the other nutrition items but not as transparently as the calories. My feelings are that my disease management continues to fall directly on me to ensure I'm maintaining appropriate nutritional…

I love this idea and I would totally do it! Although it's also exactly the type of behavior my friends would expect from me.

I tend to lose quick in my first few weeks too. My theory is that my body doesn't want to weigh that much, so when I start managing my portions back down to where they should be, my body just starts melting the fat off. It's a crazy theory, I know, but I've seen the rapid weight loss too.

I find that I lose weight and try to stay in shape when I'm happy in my relationship. But I eat my emotions. So being in a destructive relationship for a year, I gained 20 lbs. out of the relationship now and I'm aleady down 4.5 lbs! I don't know that relationships matter, but how you feel does!!
