Also adding a post with a list of great resources. :) https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest

Hey there! Former emotional eater and current hater of meal planning. I agree with all the posts above, and want to add a few things that helped me. If I didn't have the energy/time/knowledge on how to meal prep, I instead added foods to my home and work that I could go to. I bought built bars, packets of tuna, threw…

Add me!!

Hi there! I just completed my six month diet and exercise program! I am waiting on insurance approval and will likely be having the sleeve done on July 12th!

I always use my old fav scrubs adage when someone says something rude/out of turn to me:

I would have told your mother from comment number one that if she couldn't say anything nice, she doesn't need to say anything at all. The fact she has made several comments and feels comfortable enough to verbally abuse your wife like that, an intervention should have happened a long time ago. Don't tell your wife it is…

Yes, I think that Romper is glamorous and timeless looking Brenda.

I second Grrrl clothing! I have also had great luck with Lane Bryant's livi active. it isn't the cheapest, but the leggings keeping everything in place and don't move. I am wearing a pair in my profile pic. Surprisingly, Fabletics has great leggings. You can usually catch a 2 for 24 deal going on every couple months!

Statistically, the larger the group the better chances of survival...

OP, I would suggest your brother speak to the children's pediatrician before imposing ANY type of diet change in their lifestyle. Keto is a very limited diet for weight loss, that is only sometimes prescribed for people with diabetes or other health issues. Growing children need carbs and a balance of protein and fats.

Yes, I use the app and love it. It gives you rest times between sets and tells me what I will lift during the week and when. The basic app is free. I pay for the upgraded version, which for me is worth it. The upgraded app has accessory lifts for each day for you and calculates what plates to put on the bar because I…

Hi there, I have hypothyroid and diabetes. Currently on metformin and synthroid. I do not struggle to lose weight so much as when my thyroid is having issues, I become very ill to the point of being unable to really function. To be brutally honest OP, I did not gain due to having hypo. I gained from poor eating habits and…

The statistics do not state if the individual is: self employed, laid off, on disability, negotiating disability and unable to work, partial disability, elderly, receiving long term care, looking for a job, pursuing education. Statistics are just a number and not a viable look at the model as a whole.

What makes you think every person on stamps isn't working?

Micro managing people already in poverty is a terrible idea. I lived off foodstamps as a single mother. Many times, I spent what I had on fruits, vegetables, and frozen/canned veggies and meat. When I ran out of stamps that was it. I was lucky that I had been educated on moderation and food intake, but many aren't. Most…

Thanks!!!

You seem fun at parties.

Great job! I follow IF too and count my macros, I love it!

THIS! I grew up in a tradional Hispanic household, and all plastic/glass containers were reused for years. I didn't think twice about bringing leftover lasagna in a cottage cheese container until someone asked if I liked cottage cheese THAT much. lol

Hi! My name is Mikki, currently lifting and some cardio, trying to lose weight!!

Yay, thats great! I too, am a gay. I started getting healthy about a year ago, and my girlfriend started getting motivated early this year too. We now workout together, meal prep and can talk about our goals and struggles. It really is a great thing. Congrats!

Nice! I am a new powerlifter, my current stats: 285/155/310. I have been lifting about a year and switched to a more PL based program three months ago. Excited to max soon and be at competition stage by 2019!

I've dealt with my family making comments for years. I learned to tune it out. I guess that's what has caught me off guard. When I was eating like crap along with the rest of my coworkers, no one cared. I work in logistics, and our desks are set up next to each other, no cubicles. A lot of boundaries in general are…

haha, to clarify, it was my food that I had pre prepped and portioned out. I was just stirring it up as she walked by.

WOW, first of all, congratulations! What you did required commitment, dedication, and strength of character beyond what you family could imagine. Sometimes it is hard to realize that the people that should be there for us the most can't because they are still wrapped in their own victimization and self hate. You are not…

I am so in! I go to Cancun in a month for vaca and have been eating like crap and not working out. :/

I mean, there is literally no truth to that whatsoever.

You have a great smile :)
