What has worked for me is relying less on motivation and more on self-discipline. Not working out is not an option and has become habit even when I don't feel like it. The gains emotionally and physically far outweigh the comfort of doing something else, anything else - for me its watching friends and eating beef jerky. So…

My most hated comment is "should you really be eating that?" Like bish I know what i'm eating, now stay in your lane.

The only person who should have control over what you eat and how much you weigh is yourself. I think you need to talk to him and ask he not comment on food or your weight since it is more hurtful than it is helpful. I would hope that he understands and this will help you from feeling that you have to eat in secret which…

I prefer MFP for counting calories 100%. It seems a bit more strict however it has worked better for my tracking than the fitbit database.

I don't cook very often as I am just one person most of the time. I find things that can be eaten as is can be really helpful. For me that means a lot of fruits and vegetables as they are because its easy and I don't have to do anything to them except for add a bit of salt or sometimes peanut butter depending on what it…

I have to open each app each day in order for the fitbit app to sync with the MFP app.

If you want to continue to lose weight, you will have to eat at a deficit. Something has got to give. Take it one thing at a time.

I do minimal exercise and primarily focus on diet. Once I hit that goal, then I will attempt to get a workout schedule going but for…

Don't go too hard too quickly. It will often cause a person to burn out. I would say stick to the general deficit that MFP gives you so you have the energy to continue exercising. It took a while to put the weight on, it will take a while to get it off so be patient.

Thank you all for your replies! I need to hear some outside perspective from people outside of family and friends because sometime they sugar coat stuff which makes it hard to believe..

The computer chairs we have rock back a certain amount so when i'm anxious or really focused, i tend to rock in my chair for long periods of time. I also have a lot of stress balls so i always have something to do with my hands because I am mostly a boredom eater and fidget-er if it slows down at work as I too have to stay…

Barre was my favorite class until I couldn't afford it anymore. I have trouble with motivation unless i'm in person in a class. Hard but great for toning and feeling like you actually did something. With any class though it depends on the teacher.
