I feel you on this one. I need to do something to completely cut it out and break the addiction.

1, 2, 4-7 ... I don't try to go after the same type, but that's what I seem to attract. All different, but the same. Maybe I need to find new places to look. I'm not even picky, but I definitely aim higher than I can achieve. I've never been the cutie... I'm sure that has something to do with it, too. I also wonder if I…

I am NOT following MFP's set caloric goal. When I started, I was at about 245 pounds. MyFitnessPal was telling me to eat 1200 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week. That's ridiculously low for my body weight. Instead I found the posts on using outside calculators to determine your caloric intake based on TDEE and other…

Good morning!

It definitely sounds like your intake is too low. When I figured my calories, at about 245 pounds, I was at 1500 and that was the low end. I don't exercise at all and have a sedentary job. If you're using MFP's recommendation for calorie intake, I'd suggest you find the post about TDEE and recalculate based on your actual…

I've always been an Android gal... my brother was with me... then my parents bought him a MacBook... then he had to have an iPhone to interact with the MacBook... he's a traitor. Basically all my family has iPhones... I will stick with my Samsung.

You're not actually a martyr so quit acting like it.

Yes that is too little. I highly suggest going back to the original post and going through the steps on using the tools on the website mentioned. It definitely will give you a starting point.

you have good luck then!

this is classic!

"I'm curvy." Nope, I'm just obese. Maybe I have curves under all this fat, but really my curves are the curves of my belly. I've lied about where I live, but that's mostly for privacy.

I think we all know this guy!

I am not fat. I have fat. No one can tell me that I AM fat. I have a lot of fat. In places it wasn't before. It should go away.

I'm 31. I was a teacher for 6 years and then they cut my position, so now I'm working two part-time jobs that don't pay all of my bills, but I dread having to find a third part-time job. I'd get a new full-time job, but I feel bad leaving either place I'm currently working. And I still would probably need another part-time…

@dsjnix You ask why you aren't losing weight. There's a simple response. You aren't burning more than you're eating. But with 4 pounds left to lose, they won't drop in one week. Or even one month. Just focus on improving what you can do. Maybe you're now able to lift more. Or maybe you're eating healthier. Or you can stop…

You're not fasting if you are eating. Odds are you are changing your body fat percentage because you're eating healthier. Not because you're eating all of your calories in a 2 hour time frame.

So find non-animal proteins. Kale, nuts, chickpeas, some beans. Are you avoiding dairy, as well? I know you said your goal is to be vegan, so I would assume that's not part of your diet... otherwise I would recommend greek yogurt.

Type? I have no type. Give me a guy who has a personality that meshes well with mine and I'm sucked in. Does he have a good heart? I'm sucked in further. I care more about his interests and the music he listens to than what his body looks like. I've dated guys that are very obese, guys that are "average," and guys in…

@atypicalsmith I'm not sure if you were directing that at me or just quoting me... But to respond to you, while My Fitness Pal has the tools to log everything, it's not a system in and of itself. I've been to this rodeo a time or two and it's always the same. The tools are only as good as the willpower to do something…

If you have a Crock Pot (slow cooker), make a batch of shredded chicken when it's convenient. Some ideas: *Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, taco seasoning, salsa - use it for tacos, enchiladas, tortilla soup, etc. *Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, dry Italian dressing and extra spices It also works with those packets…

OP has only 3 posts. His profile has the minimal information. My guess is that he's a newbie and doesn't have a food diary to open because he's not been logging. But that's just my limited judgment.

Oh tea. How I love thee. I was never a tea drinker, then I spent two weeks in Poland where tea was served two meals a day and I learned that tea is pretty good. I came home and drank it for awhile. Then it left me. Over the last year, I figured out that tea is pretty much amazing. Especially because there are so many…
