pictures helped me tremendously and still do. The camera doesn’t lie, but the mirror sure darn will. Even now. If I’m feeling bloated or off track, I deliberately look at photos to remind myself I haven’t blossomed back into the chonk I was.

thanks, @AnnPT77 As I was packing up, I realized it was 33,000 beads. I figure I had a thousand left over. 😱

how do I keep my hands out of my mouth? Like this: This is almost a year of hand beading. Sure can’t do this kind of work with Cheeto fingers! Satin is a massive PITA to work with.

@nossmf i did an online anti financial fraud class with my bank earlier this week. They had a retired FBI agent speak. I was gobsmacked when he said one of the biggest sources of financial crime is people paying bills with checks, and putting in their mailbox with the flag up for the mailman. We’ve had a “cluster” mailbox…

try street style tacos. They’re small, on soft corn tortillas that are in the 2 for 90 calorie range, and fillings are very basic but fresh. Grilled chicken, shrimp or meat cooked with light seasoning, chopped onion and cilantro. They are good protein and very acceptable calories- if you can look the other way when the…

you’re amongst friends. It’s ok. Multiple losses. 😭 sometimes helps to spill the grief.

seriously, my husband volunteered at the Sheriff’s Department for several years. We figured out he could take unwanted food, sauces, Halloween Candy, yuck protein bars, disliked teas or whatever and leave them in the breakroom. They would vanish- usually in reverse order of “good for you”. The junk would go first, the low…

more like circling, babe. Ready for the “pig butchering”. Google it if you’re not familiar with the term. Yikes !

so, what you’re saying is, you, my friend John would walk up to me and say “here! I have this food that I won’t eat because it’s highly processed, too high sodium, trans fat, etc., but you look like you have zero standards and would eat it”? 😂😂😂😂

just the man. I’ve got two for you. First of all, a super interesting episode of the podcast No Such Thing as a Fish which actually has some bearing on the swimming thin. Maybe not much, but interesting discussion of effort underwater nevertheless: and second of all, I can now echo your aversion to Chikfila at Del Taco.…

My opinion today is MFP needs to police its ads. I didn’t renew Premium til I figure out what’s going on, so ads are now in the menu. If I were not a reasonably tech savvy person, I might see this and think “Yay! MFP is offering me free barcode scanning!” and click the offer. This offer has no app name, no identifiers, no…

welcome to MFP! There’s a great Volume Eating thread here. Either search for it, or some kind person will post it for you. Friends have no particular benefit anymore. We had a lovely private friends Newsfeed for years, but MFP killed it off for “lack of use” (I call BS on that one) but later cited expenses involved in…

you didn’t provide us any formation to work with the help. What’s your current weight, heigh, calorie goal, activity level? If you’re already close to goal, say within ten or fifteen pounds, those are the hardest to lose and you may be talking a fraction of a pound per week or month. If you’re 100 overweight, like I was,…

yes yes yes to @AnnPT77 I exercised and still had zero concept of how much exercise it took to burn off a serving of Nabisco anything. Imagine my surprise when I learned that a three mile walk in the evening wouldn’t burn off a whole package of cookies. (Quick note, a “serving” is not what I chose to serve myself. Yikes.)…

long time, no posting in these Maintenance parts. Despite a couple trips to Guatemala, SoCal, London and Morocco (Omg, the food I’ve enjoyed in these places!!!) since May, zero net change in weight. It’s comforting to think I’ve got travel guesstimating and self control dialed in. 👍🏻. Finally!!! Still maintaining and in…

oh dear. Spring has gone salty today. Might be time for a board break. At least it’s not EBay. I had a few enforced board breaks there in my day, lol.
-
I’m going to take this a different direction. I’m guessing you’re both new’ish users What are y’all’s current weight, height, and activity levels. Calorie goals? What weekly losses you set? Are you weighing food, and focusing on logging diligently and accurately? So often, new people here set an unreasonably large goal for…
-
as to train and sweets- I often visit a local coffee shop with friends. Tea or black coffee- 2 calories at most. See what’s available and make better choices. For example, scones (and I make them from scratch so am pretty familiar with the ingredients) have about half the calories of a light but buttery pastry (at least…

People tell me to be delusional and use a tv crush and pretend they’d like me when I lost some more weight and I’m not sure if this is healthy or if it works WT absolute F!? If you’re getting this kind of advice, either ditch the friend or find new online friends to get advice from.
-
well knowing you’re 18 makes a difference. I was wildly impatient for everything to start happening at 18. Listen to what you’re saying. “I want to lose quickly and visibly”, and then you say you know that’s unhealthy and unlikely. ”I want to lose in specific places” but then you confirm you know that is unlikely. “I have…

@AnnPT77 sometimes you just tickle me.

welcome to the boards ! I’m kind of wierd. I have three breakfasts that I rotate. I’ll eat one five days a week, and the others on Wednesday and Sunday (a “treat” breakfast). Ditto with lunches. Unless I have leftovers, I usually rotate between a wrap with dry-sautéed buffalo chicken, a salad, or, lately, some easy baked…

welcome to MFp. No one here can help “guide you through the app”. You need to learn it yourself. Not to be rude but… If you’re only here because someone told you to be and you’re resentful or uninvested, you’re not going to learn and you are not going to be successful. If you’re serious about weight loss, you’ll figure it…
-
Wait. What? For heaven’s sake don’t give that out on, or to anyone at, MFP. Nobody needs that here.

hi Teddy. Welcome to MFP. Encouragement? I started at 56, post menopausal, obese, sedentary. At 63, I have maintained at a size S/4 for five or six years. I’m not a unicorn. It comes down to paying attention. I learnt to weigh and log my food, make better choices while still allowing occasional room for treats, and started…

then this one is for you. Be sure to blow it up and read the challenging exercises! I’m off to do some shoulder shrugs!!!!
-
sincerest props to this recipe site for the disclaimer. First time I’ve ever seen this. Website was also to the point with tips, and not crammed with ads every paragraph. 👍🏻

I’m curious what people said.

chicken tagine again, because it was soooo good a couple of weeks ago. Am going to try to replicate a delicious meatball and egg tagine later this week.
