@rebeccalovesmike19 Hey, I’m glad you’re new and were brave enough to make an honest comment about how you feel! The first time I made an innocent comment trying to give input I got 8 disagrees with that horrible looking face. It was completely discouraging. I’m an ISFJ , so if negativity discourages you, take a…

Ahhhhhhh! For 8 months I have been practicing eating only when truly hungry. Yes, for two decades I mindlessly snacked, etc, to become overweight. Now that I’m paying attention, I find 1200 calories seems to be a lot for me personally. Thanks for taking the time to clear that up!

Okay, so for example, it’s 3 PM where I am and I still have 776 calories to go to reach 1200 (slightly more with my steps). I AM NOT hungry, but all the research I’ve done says I need at least 1200 calories to support all my body’s systems without going into “starvation” mode. Is that wrong info? I’m new at this—wish I…

Hmmm...whenever one of my students starts spiraling out of control, I meet with them to reset the basics. My basics of my healthy habits are as follows: drinking at least 48 oz of water; minimum of 5,500 steps; 10 minutes of exercise concentrating on arms, glutes, or abs; 5 minutes of journaling; and, strangely enough,…

It all depends on if how people are phrasing their interest in your journey is making you feel bad about yourself and your goals. Sometimes people just need to be educated sweetly and gently. If your goal is not a number and they ask, “How much do you want to lose?” you could answer, “I’m working on losing 50% of my guilt”…

Great idea! I pick up trash from my church parking lot once a month. This is a great idea because I HATE going on pointless walks 😂. I’m going to try this today. I’m working on getting my step count to 9,000 with a MFP plan. This will help. Don’t forget to wear gloves 🧤

Hey, inkstain58, I actually understand what you mean. I’m one of those people who are full WAAAY before 1200 calories are up! I exercise to feel good and improve my health, not to burn more calories, then mfp says, eat even more!!! I ACCURATELY list my food portions and used to come up 300 calories short! AAGGHH! Yet I was…

Stress is a likely possibility, but it could also be when you eat certain foods. I’ve needed an afternoon nap for the last 25 years until I began changing my eating habits last December. I discovered that eating breads at breakfast and lunch was what put me to sleep. Cereal for breakfast and a sandwich at lunch equaled a 2…

Here’s something to think about...everyone hears about foods good for a healthy heart, and recently a lot about “the gut.” How about concentrating, perhaps a month at a time, on what to eat/specific exercise for different organs? I’ve gotten a handle on kidney stones with ACV and water, and improved my gall bladder and…

I really miss my Noom buddies who helped me lose 21 pounds, so I'm looking for a group to post to and get encouragement from/give encouragement to. What worked for me today was recommitting to my 3 basic go-to goals: drink 48 oz water, walk 5,500 steps, and log my food. If I achieve these, I feel like a winner! It kind of…
