I've also been following the starch solution diet, but I feel all stiff. 😕

I once combined hot sauce, apple cider vinegar and green tea. I didn't lose any weight, but the resulting explosion created a beautiful psychedelic effect on my kitchen ceiling.

The only way hot sauce is going to help you lose weight is if you use it as a meal replacement. In other words, skip lunch and have a cup of hot sauce instead.

I love macros with cheese, macros with marinara sauce and parmesan, and macros mixed with tuna in a nice casserole.

Portion control. Whether you are counting your calories or not, portion control. For me that means being able to eat even the things I was eating at my heaviest weight. Only learning to eat them in moderation. It's hard. But you are talking about trying to avoid deprivation, and being on something that you can live with…

Welcome! Hope you do well using mfp. Sending you a friend invite.

I love dogs as you can see from my profile photo. Will send you a friend request.

I was warned my username would be changed to Fatty-Fatty if I didn't sign up for premium. 🙁 But seriously I don't see a huge difference other than the dashboard. I only log on to my food diary, so I don't have to deal with that awful dashboard.

Welcome, and wishing you much success here on mfp.

Welcome! I also started at over 400, but have gotten under that mark recently. Hope you do well with your weight loss and health journey. And hope you enjoy using the website here.

Just about every diet under the sun will help you lose weight. The problem is, is it sustainable and something you can live with for the rest of your life? Sounds like you have tried them all, just like I have. But diet is just one part of the solution to weight control. I think that emotional support is an aspect that is…

Don't think of mayonnaise as a beverage.

I borrowed them. I'm not having much success so needed something positive to look at. I'll return them next week. 🙂

I can't help it, but I find threads like these entertaining. Like people that get mad because their claims that they gain weight on 1200 calories are challenged.

I better clean my eyeglasses. I just read that you have been using the app for 78 years. 😯

I tried #9 but I kept getting my foot caught in the chain. 😕

My wife is on Dr Gunderson's Banana diet. She hasn't lost any weight, but she can sure climb trees now.

Very inspiring. Sorry you haven't gotten much response, but the forums aren't what they used to be. A few years ago you would have gotten a hundred comments by now, but things have fizzled out here. 😕

They've made it really complicated to friend someone on mfp, at least on the app. First you click on the person's name, and then you click on view profile, then you have to click on "mfp profile", then you click on the friend icon, which is the one with three little people characters. From there you can send a friend…

I stay away from the new and annoying dashboard. I put the mfp diary widget on my phone. Like that when I log on it takes me directly to my diary and I don't have to see the other stuff.

Just remember you got to do this and that. And it'll all work out in the end. 🙂

Hello everyone. It is nice to see a thread for us 60s people. I am back on mfp for I guess the 10th time. Not really sure, I've lost track. But I have been logging consistently for a month, the best I have ever done. And I have lost 22 lb since the first of May. Developed mild diabetes last year. So losing weight is the…

I haven't noticed anything smaller with the upgrade. If anything, the dashboard is much larger and distracting. Plus the awful dark blue color I'm not crazy about. But when I bought a new phone with Android 12, all my apps did look and run a little differently than they did with my old Android 8 phone.

Welcome. Sent you a friend invite. Hope you are enjoying mfp so far.

It doesn't work for everyone. I tried Contrave for a month a few years ago. It had absolutely no effect. I am on ozempic for my diabetes now, and it does have a very mild appetite suppressing effect on me. I lost 15 lb in May, due a little bit to the medication, but mostly from counting every calorie. But it has helped me…

@Lietchi thank you! I had no idea that symbol meant anything, or that you were supposed to tap on it. It sure would have been nice if mfp had used words instead. 😬

There is no friend request button when using the app. I have looked for it everywhere when clicking on people's profiles. It's easy enough to see when using the website. It is called "add as friend".

I am new to the app although I used the website when I was a member a couple of years ago. I see no way of sending friend requests. I click on profiles, but there is no friend request button. Do I have to wait a while before I can send friend requests? I just signed up 5 days ago. P.S. wow, these message boards are a…
