  • I expect that MFP will be refunding premium subscriptions for this month? Considering the app is unusable as is.
  • Have you thought about an app? I own Jillian Michaels' app, and I find that it's great for times I don't feel like going to the gym. There are a ton of programs and you can set it to beginner, intermediate or advanced. It would eliminate traveling time for you and you can even do programs without equipment or dumbbells if…
  • No I didn’t. You’re replying to the OP I think (I replied to your comment but I’m not the original person who said the above).
  • Absolutely what you said above makes sense, but how can a person truly lose weight and keep it off, without understanding why they consistently overate to begin with? If it was truly as simple as calories in/calories out without any psychological or emotional work required, many, many more people would be at their goal…
  • I was thin once, and I got treated infinitely better by almost everyone. :neutral: I miss that!
  • I don't do "cheat" days because I don't believe in them in theory. The idea that you'll be on a restrictive diet the rest of your life is a recipe for disaster. Instead, I calorie cycle. Four days a week, I eat less. The other three, I eat more, since I know I'll be eating at a restaurant, or may want to have a few glasses…
  • Love. Is. A. Verb. You show someone whether or not you love them. I doubt this dude cares about anyone other than himself. As evidenced by him framing her entire body as a vehicle for his own sexual desires. Your friend needs to find someone who will appreciate her for the kind soul she is - whatever the package might be…
  • It doesn't offend me, but it's also not particularly funny or clever and it doesn't actually make sense - wouldn't you rather wear your "favourite jeans" over your skinny jeans?
  • You would have had to have eaten 35,000 calories OVER your maintenance calories to gain 10 pounds of fat. If you don't think you did that, it would be water retention due to many factors - high sodium foods, traveling, etc. And perhaps a pound or two of actual weight gain. Just get right back to eating at a deficit and…
  • I think it’s pretty odd to come on here, share that stuff, (including him pinching her arm fat omg) and then get annoyed when people have opinions. Idk if it were me, I’d have expected those kind of remarks or even just concern, all things considered.
  • Baked Tostitos or ANY kind of baked tortilla chip, tbh. I can't find any in Canada anymore, even to order online. Yes, I suppose I could make my own but I don't want to, I want someone to make them for me, arghhhhhhh
  • YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEY. (I am so jealous). Don't worry about your weight. You'll never gain all 23 pounds back regardless, and part of having a healthy relationship with weight loss - imo - is being cool with some fluctuations when life gets in the way. When we go to Disney, I'm vigilant about walking like crazy - ie:…

  • Smoothies for breakfast - unsweetened vanilla cashew milk, MCT oil, spinach, birthday cake whey protein, collagen peptides, and ice to make it nice and creamy. The whey protein is amazing - it’s my favourite flavour by far. For lunch probably chicken and hummus or some spicy Spanish rice. I’m pretty flexible on lunches.…
  • Red wine, hence my avatar 🍷 I also love a “skinny” margarita with just good tequila, fresh lime and a tsp or so of agave. They’ll hit you like a truck tho 🥳
  • White cheddar popcorn - like SmartFood? If I bought a big bag, I’d eat it all or attempt to. I read somewhere that the big bags are like 3,200 calories 💀🙈 I don’t buy them anymore 😂😬 My favourite junk food is nachos but I can eat a moderate amount and be satisfied. SmartFood just makes me go crazy.
  • I love green smoothies! There's something satisfying about eating a "salad" for breakfast :blush: My fave combinations: 1.5 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/2 a frozen banana 1 cup frozen pineapple 2-3 cups baby spinach 2 tbsp chia seeds 1 tbsp coconut butter - 1.5 cups unsweetened almond or cashew milk 1 bunch…
  • I don't think this is a great idea. Even if your dog is able to go to the bathroom in the house, should they have to? Most dogs feel distressed by it (exhibiting what we take as guilt) and it's not a nice environment for them. You should have someone come in and look after your pup - get them outside, freshen up their…
  • I've been sick with a cold so have read quite a bit this week - silver lining? lol. Read all ten books in Elly Griffith's "Ruth Galloway" mystery series. It's very atmospheric, and she really grows as a writer during the series. Also finished "The Night Before" by Wendy Walker (got it as an ARC through the publisher) - it…
  • Typically thought of as healthy? Kale. I could eat kale salads all day, every day. "Healthy" - my cilantro, roasted jalapeno, chipotle ground beef tacos. They're so good!
  • Have you tried foam rolling? It's the only thing that helps me. My one leg/one glute always hurts (clearly my balance ain't it) but I find I can roll it out.
  • Meeee! I just joined (lost 50 pounds through better choices, now trying to lose 50 more by going balls to the wall). I'd love to chat with other women and gain inspiration / chat about food & workouts, etc.
  • Your headline made me giggle. But seriously, if you don't like exercise, don't do it - for now. Just concentrate on your calories. I do think that strength training / walking / balance work is ESSENTIAL as you get older. That's the way I feel any how. My goal is to keep active, because "move it or lose it", as they say.…
  • This. Is. INSANE. Progress. You should be so, so proud! WOW. Congrats, girl! I am in awe of you.
  • I'm not sure everyone *can* keep faves in the house. For the most part, I don't, simply because I don't want anything to go stale. I crave salt, and if you open a bag of chips, they'll go soft/depressing rather quickly. I have fairly iron will power when I set my mind to something (on the flip side, if I give up - I REALLY…
