It's worked for me, I struggled with meal portions and logging has helped show me how much is too much. I 100% recommend. Good luck!

This makes me smile, and on a day like today I could use them. Hopefully it makes someone else who needs a reason to smile do so as well.

Thanks!

I can agree with ignorance. I've had countless talks with people who swear by this reason or that, that they can't lose/gain weight/muscle. In a lot of these interactions I find trying to help such a person is what 'can't' be done because they refuse to help themselves. It's like they're using that energy explaining why…

I say "bad scale" and threaten to buy a new one if it doesn't get its *kitten* together. Seriously though, don't weigh yourself all the time if you know you're an emotional person and may react that way. Find other ways to "win" and remove anything the causes negative feelings in your life. That goes beyond losing/gaining…

My breakup wasn't recent but yeah I did slump into a bit of emotional eating without even realizing it. The fact that you're conscious of it helps because I was clueless until I had put on noticeable weight. I'm not really sure how I got out of it other than just going to the gym, even when I didn't feel like it. I guess…

Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and maybe Laos are my next destinations. Just did Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam (which I highly recommend) recently. Bucket list stops include a lot of countries in Europe so I'll just say 'Europe' and Japan. Plus there's so many places in my home country (Canada) I haven't yet explored…

Thanks! That's at Lake Louise in Banff National Park, AB, Canada if you ever get around to visiting some day.

Supposed to be a Shih Tzu x Bichon, but who really knows? Haha He's nearly 20lbs so I have my doubts.

Here's a semi artsy shot I took of my lil guy Mylo.

My goals - Get as strong as possible and lower BF%. No numbers in mind, just going until I feel the best I ever have.

I think it's definitely doable. The big issue I had was finding certain things that can be bought at a food stall in the MFP database. Like how the hell am I supposed to know what's in it? It's technically home cooking. So it resulted in a lot of guessing and substitutions. I don't think you'll face that too often there. I…

Following up on this thread too. My goal to not over eat was a success. Turns out when you're eating food you're not used to there are days you just don't eat as much. Plus maybe it was the heat but I found my appetite wasn't as ferocious as here in Canada. For anyone else wondering. It is possible to log with MFP over in…

So just to follow up on this thread. I did end up getting a tattoo in Thailand. Cambodia as well actually. For everyone concerned with hygiene practices, the two places I went to were great. My skin is fine and not falling off so relax. All Day Tattoo BKK (Bangkok, Thailand) - American/Italian owned. My appointment was on…

Hmm. I never thought of that. Like literally didn't even think/feel/consider that she would be keeping secrets. Maybe I'm just too trusting. Is it possible I'm projecting? Interesting interpretation.

I didn't even know scams on MFP was a thing. I came because I saw two "magic's" in the thread title. Thought that was a signal for this gathering I was told about but wasn't invited to... guess not. Oh well, at least I learned something.

I've been snappin a bunch of pics of my little guy lately, figured I'd share one here.

Self worth, self respect and self love have one thing in common, "Self." For years, I let myself get fatter and fatter and fatter. You know how many of those years I called myself a loser, told myself I was a failure, or referred to myself as gross? NONE. Because I wasn't... I'm not... and neither are you. What stands out…

Long story, nightmare, terrifying. Ok so I get off a long plane ride. I don't remember the flight itself, just arriving at the airport. I picked up my bags and went to go find the person I am meeting. I don't remember seeing specific faces, just that it was very busy and people were walking all directions around me. I…

All the time. I got in trouble for serving people samples at Costco one time... I don't work at Costco.

The Voices (2014) Yeeeah... I don't know wtf I was thinkin.

Train Muay Thai. Just kidding, everyone above has great advice. Just experiment with techniques until you find one that sticks. Theres really no one stop shop answer.
