I'm with you, the app is actively so bad now, it's impeding my ability to log calories, which I know is going to result in me going off-goals, because I'll just not feel like messing with the app. It's really annoying and frustrating. Do you think they made it deliberately worse so that more people will get the paid…

@nossmf I LOVE Reese's Pieces. I think the "three helpings at once" thing is because they are delicious, and tiny--so over-indulging on them can sneak up on you. Also, because the peanut-buttery part makes you thirsty, but the candy-shell part stimulates saliva-production, so it's more "comfortable" for your mouth to eat…

After months of wearing too-big clothes, I finally caved in and did some clothes shopping (I'm 40 lbs down, but still not finished my weight-loss journey, so I was holding off on buying too much stuff.) I've always been short, and I've never been a big fan of most of the pants in the lady's section. BUT! I am now…

I enjoy flirting, sure. It's a lot of fun to banter, especially if the other person has a way with words. It's engaging and clever. But being hit on? Nah, not a fan.

I'm 5'3"; I haven't weighed myself lately (I only do it every couple of weeks; I used to have an eating disorder and I avoid weighing myself with any kind of regularity, as it's super triggering for me), but at last check (a couple weeks ago) I was 181 lbs, down from 217. Still have a long way to go, though! I've been…

That depends on your definition of "functional."

OMG, are you me? I'm short and I've also got 100 lbs to lose (well, I've lost 20 so far, so 80 still to go) and I'm trying to do it as much as possible through diet, as exercise isn't an option because everything dislocates. Short, hypermobility weight-loss hack: have someone else put all the high-calorie snacks on high…

Back before the pandemic, when parties were a thing, I would have Fancy Kid-Food Potlucks with my friends, which involved everyone bringing ridiculously "fancy" versions of kid-staples. For instance, tomato soup and grilled cheese became cream of tomato bisque with basil and sun-dried tomatoes, with toasted gruyere on…

"Your food choices could not be tied to any one social class." I got a completely even split across the board.

Hi, I'm in the same boat--I'm 5'2, starting weight was 217, goal weight is 120, I'm down to 202 right now. I work at as desk job and my only exercise is running after my kids, lol. I've been pretty good at sticking to small, sustainable changes in my daily life, moreso than getting in a set workout--parking at the bottom…

I'm 5'2" currently 203 pounds, down from 217. I'm not exactly a success story (yet!) but I am loving all the inspiring successes here on this thread! Good job, everyone!

That's me! And unfortunately, it can lead down a very dark path to disordered eating, believe me. That's why I've been giving myself such baby-step leeway in my current weight-loss path--because I'm not just losing weight, I'm teaching myself how to do it in moderation, without triggering my ED. Because here's the…

My kids (3 and 5) love veggies, though they have a strong preference for them to be either raw, fresh veggies, or frozen ones still served cold and crunchy. Once they're cooked, it's pretty hit or miss, but you can't get them away from raw peppers or carrots or even celery. (Granted, they WILL sit there and just eat the…

Oh, man, these are my favorites! Legendary!

What's funny is, I think I remember it being an actual fad diet once upon a whenever. Or rather, I remember it being an answer to a magazine quiz asking "which of these weird diets was ever actually a thing?" As for the rest of your experiences--spot on! That's actually kind of why I like musing on different answers to the…

I have this magical dress that I've had for fifteen years--it looked good on me at 130 lbs, it looked good on me at 180 lbs. I'm 217 lbs now and my mini-goal is to dig out the dress and try it on.
