On those days my main motivating factor is not thinking too much about it! Personally if I give myself time to think about how "demotivated" I feel on a particular day, or how much I dread going to the gym, I won't go. I just mindlessly put on my shoes, my clothes, and get my butt out the door and focus on my steps on the…

Oh wow thank you! I think the first picture where my stomach looks bigger I technically am twisted slight because its a little awkward to take a picture straight from the side. But I will look into my posture though, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the best. This was a very necessary comment!

One of my problems has been that I eat relatively healthy(for the most part) but I'm really bad with portions and judging how they fit in the grand scheme of things(especially if it isn't pre-planned). If I didn't have MFP I wouldn't realize how many calories and sugar was in an apple(I love apples)! And as someone…

Can you link me to one of these studies? Now I'm curious. :o

Restrictive as in I've always heard health advocates say negative things about calorie counting tools(especially in reference to obsession), so I was wondering if continuing MFP was unheard of in the community. I know ultimately it depends on me, I just wasn't sure if that was something anyone even did.
