I can totally identify with the difficulty of self-motivation. I knew for a while that I needed to get back on my weight loss plan, but couldn't actually make myself do it. It had to really take a hard look at myself and make that commitment. I was sick and tired of being unhealthy and the only person who could make it…

I have been alcoholic before. I recently found myself drifting down that path again. After some seriously dark times, I decided that I needed to step away from the booze for a while and focus on improving myself. Have I quit drinking all together? No. However, my new dedication to my health has helped me get back in line.…

I want to drink a 12 pack of craft brew and devour some wings, but I will settle for world peace.

The problem is, I do not trust the tracker app on my phone. The numbers I get from my step tracker do not seem to match the numbers I get when I google cals burned for the steps I take. I am not starving myself. I think I will adjust from sedentary to light activity if I find I am struggling with appetite. Thanks for all…

I don't think MFP has a setting. If I know I am going to go over my cals on the weekend, I take the planned amount and divide by 5 to spread that extra deficit out over the work week. If MFP gives you 1500 a day, you get 10,500 a week, for example. You could take the daily cal allowance MFP gives you, multiply by 7. Then…

I like to prep and pre-log lunch (I don't eat breakfast) during the work week. Doesn't get much easier than that and I don't have to rely on others to supply me with appropriate food choices.

If I have calories left from yesterday and I haven't been to sleep, I put it on yesterday. If I wake in the middle of the night and eat a bowl of cereal (bad habit) I still put it on yesterday if there are free cals. Otherwise, I put on today. Like katadx said, many focus on weekly. I prefer to focus weekly because if I…

I am set on sedentary. I think I will wait until I start my workout routine before I start eating back exercise cals. I never eat back the cals from walking, but I wanted to be sure that I had them there for a buffer if I was really struggling. Extra walking does not seem to add to my appetite, I was just curious. Thanks…

I just started this 18 days ago. Been doing CICO and set a 10k step goal for myself. I have lost 12lbs. I know some of that is water, but just seeing my work pay off has boosted my motivation. Only 88lbs to go!

Look, some people can be real *kittens*. You were strong enough and brave enough not to give into the trolls. You are out there improving yourself and that is something to be proud of. Just know that for every jerk out there, there are dozens of people here who support you. My philosophy is to prove them wrong. I would…
