Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions! Please keep 'em coming, I think this is very helpful for everyone.

Hummus (I love how there's donuts and French fries as "healthy" food. 😂)

Yeah, ditto. I told myself I wouldn't let the quarantine affect my weight, but two inches around the waist later... !! My clothes are tight and I'm feeling self conscious. 😭 Gotta get back into the game!

"Calories don't know what time it is" - probably the most profound quote in this thread! It definitely puts things into perspective. Thank you!

GOD I love dairy, and we do have a fridge. If I keep salad, what's a way to preserve the lettuce so it doesn't go bad as quickly (besides eating it all lol). What kind of beans?

I can relate to this so much, I'm cry.

I clicked on this post because I seriously thought the conversation was going to be about lifting socks...

To be honest, I'll have to agree with the users who are saying it's not weight you should be focused on, but measurements. I'm 5'0" and 125lb, but I have more muscle than fat on my body, so the scale only hurts my feelings lol. If there are certain areas that you want to shrink, I think you should keep one of those loose…

I like this attitude! I do agree that a lot of people who are doing gluten-free is due to the fad. What was a doctor's diagnosis to help those who actually need to be gluten-free turned into a multi-million dollar profit.

I'm sorry for being one of those people. LOL But there are days (more frequent lately) where I am unhappy with my appearance. :( I look at girls better looking at me and think, "Man I wish my stomach was flat like that!" Boo-hoo.

So for the OP's question, the general answer /should/ have been, "Find out for yourself." ? Since neither group study nor personal experience would help them.

That's what I don't understand about people who throw news articles, studies, etc at others. Although they may be helpful, it doesn't apply to everyone, and I think people should use more of their personal experiences as a basis for reasoning - or at least a balance between the two. :U

The posts in this thread are just hilarious. My personal opinion is that no soda is good for you, and that it's probably better for your overall health to eliminate it. I think people who drink soda all the time - their bodies are probably used to it, and have learned to adapt to it or work around the ingredients, which…

I accept everyone. o uo I'm just not as verbally supportive as the rest. I'm more of a lurker, quietly liking your stuff.

Whoo!! Good job!

I've seen it happen before, it's all about confidence! But I'll be the ***** and say that I wouldn't date someone who is fat. But my definition of "fat" and someone else's definition of "fat" may be different. -shrug-

If you could find a gym that is open 24/7, I definitely recommend signing up for a guest pass, see how you like it, and then join. And then if you're at work, pack up your gym clothes and plop them right in the driver's seat so you can go straight from work to the gym before heading home. That's what I try doing sometimes…

Grab a plate, put a sample size of everything on my plate (use two plates if needed), see what I like, then go back and pig out. Leave room for dessert. Pig out. Feel guilty tomorrow. :)

Yesterday's sausage, cheese, and egg crossiant from Dunkin Donuts was a whopping 748cal for me. McDonald's egg McMuffin doesn't even have that much! I was floored and guilty to say the least, lol.

This, except I do it naked. :D

This is probably a bad idea, but when I'm stressed, I sleep. Otherwise I work out lol.

This made me tear up a little. My bad attitude and I have a love/hate relationship.

Since I don't have any barely naked pics, I don't get creepers. I accept any, but I'm not an active supporter. I got my own crap to deal with.

I'm amazed at what some people hate to eat. O: I could never imagine myself without some dishes like fruit, seafood, etc. I'm not a raw carrot fan, and I detest okra. Yuck. Egg plant is also really gross.

I wish you could "like" posts. LOL

From what I've read on other users' opinions on the forums, some users apply any fluid as part of their water intake (juice, soda(?) water), while others strictly add water. I haven't used those little packets in an awfully long time, but if crystal light has little to no nutritional value anyway, adding it to water for…

Thank god. I have a life outside of MFP, and normally I don't have the time to watch everyone's status updates and comment. Feel free to add me, and we can peek at each other's diaries all we want. :)

Corgi is my favorite, but pit bulls come at a very close second!

I prefer the treadmill over the elliptical. I've tried the elliptical before, and I don't like how awkward it feels, especially with my short stature. I'm much more comfortable with the treadmill especially since I do HIIT, and it's as close to running outside as I can get without dying from allergens.

Preach it!
