Aww thanks Dave!
-
Thanks! If I were in your position I'd get the ball rolling and ask to make a plan.
-
I think it depends on who is delaying the meeting and how long you've waited already 🤔
-
Thanks beautiful ladies!
-
N'aww you guys 🤗

Oh hey

I've been here since 2013 but now under a new profile 🧐 2020 seemed to change things a lot in here
-
Damn. Now I'm in my feelings. I'm so sorry for your losses.

I am glad you have that support from your husband, even if he doesn't always get it right it sounds like he tries! Reading your responses to other posts I am so pleased you avoided a full blown ED and had supportive non-judgmental parents. My sister developed bulimia (thankfully now recovered) and I went on to develop…

No - the first session after a deload I go for the weight I was using prior to the deload and then continue progressive overload as usual

Just here to really confirm what OP is saying. I have been in maintenance since October 2019 and was able to incorporate higher calorie days quite easily in that time with no scale change, however over the christmas period I had one of those times where life tests your stress limits (finishing my PhD, watching a family…

Why not foster one for a while and see how you feel?

I haven't given anything up entirely but things I very rarely have now are alcohol, pizza, pasta and potatoes. Not because I don't enjoy them, I just don't relish the way they make me feel after eating them.

Thanks, I feel fortunate I am resilient enough in my adulthood to not let it bother me in a harmful way, but it is very frustrating energy to be around!

OP I totally understand where you are coming from. Just before covid kicked off I moved back in with my parents due to a break up and boy was I shocked at the language used around food and appearance in this house. Please understand I love my father dearly but here are a round up of some of his frequently used comments:…

As a researcher I am just popping in with some friendly suggestions to help people critically engage with the information they see on the internet. This isn't intended to be condescending but rather it is a polite way for me to alleviate my frustrations around this debate by contributing in a constructive manner. Firstly,…

I am 5'1 and lost on 1300 calories a day when I was losing the bulk of my weight. If eating high protein will keep you satiated then go for it, especially if you are doing any kind of resistance/weight training. I find a focus on protein and fibre keeps me going in a deficit but you have to work out which macro split works…

If you are using the phone app go to the side tab of 'recipes, meals and foods' - you can add foods there without having to add them to the diary. Not convinced you can do it on the computer though.

Holy moly! You are absolute goals! Congrats on your success

I had an unintentional bulk from February through to the end of April (prior to this I was recomping for a period of 15 months). Gained a fair bit of muscle this year so happy with that. Now looking to cut a few vanity lbs to see what's lurking under my BF - I can see my first row of abs all the time, even when bloated, so…

As someone who is constantly struggling to breathe due to allergies and lifelong sinus issues I have had no issue in losing 29lbs and keeping it off for two years

Another vote here for learning to log before making any changes. Accurate and consistent logging is the key to making MFP work for you so it really is worthwhile taking the time to learn it. I would also stress some expectation management - a lot of newcomers (myself included many years ago) expected every day to be…

I'm talking about my personal tolerance of the different types of carbs.
-
Complex carbs are the friend I can rely on to support me and say nice things about me when I'm not around. Simple carbs are more like the nosy neighbour you can't always avoid and you know they're going to be a *kitten* about you when you leave.

The kitchen fridge has cabinets above so just a thin layer of dust but in the utility you may find more dust with a black cat thrown into the mix - the fridge is her safe space

Beliefs - this has been a hard change but a pivotal one. Prior to losing weight and keeping it off I believed myself to be lazy and a binge eater. I worked on those thoughts and told myself I am a healthy, balanced person who does not skip workouts. It was hard work and repetitive but now I am a healthy, balanced person…

You're right though - carrot cake is the bomb 💣
