Hey peeps. This is my second go at MFP, I need to lose more than 100 pounds. The first time I was here I lost 101 pounds in 2.5 years. I am here for you! Add me if you'd like.

Hey Tq43, I added you. I'm back too and can relate. I am having motivation issues and the uncertainty of COVID is freaking me out--I get that. Good on you for exercising. We had the most gorgeous day in weeks and I sat on my behind and ate food I didn't need to BUT I weighed in and logged my food so that's something.

And I didn't see I was in success stories! My bad, ignore and carry on!

Just (re)starting mini goal is just to get out of bed, weigh in and log food. Anything else is a bonus.

It's just pureed fruit. Expensive but still just fruit. Like you said it's not like your diet consists 100% of the stuff. If you want to go cheaper (and tastier) make it a DIY project and stream some fruits and puree them yourself and freeze the puree. It's way less expensive. Just steam (or bake) your fruit (or veg --…

The short answer? Sometimes 1200 is enough and sometimes it's not. I'm short so I get that sometimes more calories isn't necessary but depending on your activity level 1200 really might not be enough.

Water, fiber and exercise all play a role in bowel movements, not to mention a host of other things. If you increased any of the three things I've mentioned you'll get an increase in bowel movements. You specifically mention you are doing two of those things and while eating healthy doesn't mean any specific thing a lot of…

I'm pretty late to the party, but I wanted to say a very big YES to your question about the yoga/stretching--I hope you've started. I have CP and have always had severe pain. When I get into the habit of doing yoga/pilates/stretching on a daily basis my quality of life just goes through the roof. On a scale of 1-10 my…

Good morning, I wanted to congratulate you on your first 10 lost, your knowingness that you are the one that can make this happen and your willingness to seek advice! For me, I had to learn how to be kind to myself. If I beat myself up every time I slipped I would never get anywhere. This is not easy. Being cheerleader of…

I learned this the hard way! I bought a tablet on the advice that someone said to use the app, boy was that a blow to find out I couldn't download the database to my SD card. Pssst... MFP I'd play a good price if I could download the app and a GOOD database to use. I'd even still come back to the website and use the forums…

I had very, thick wonderful hair. I lost weight, I took vitamins--everything was fine. I didn't change anything in my diet or my vitamins. My hair started falling out like mad. Right and left all over the place, the shower, the bed, the car, the floor. By the hand-full. The cause? SEVERE stress. I've got the stress better…

If I had to I could. I just don't think I'd really want to. I could give up milk and cheese (I know, I'm an oddball, I don't get the cheese love, except a few I could still live without) but I love venison, eggs and yogurt and chicken too much. Fish, beef and pork I can take or leave. Well, maybe not the bacon. Anyway, I…

I hate a big display. Or really obnoxious, "Oh my god", shrieked across the room. Or if people try to spin me. I don't mind people asking privately, like if we're sitting down for lunch or even my hair dresser making a comment in a salon I've been going to for 20 years where the only people that over hear are 3 or 4 others…

So is Kroger's! I think Meijer and Great Value (Wal-Mart) are the same one and while not as good as Fage definitely better than some other options.

As far as I know that's a fat-free one and I personally think OIKOS is gross I don't understand all the John Stamos hype commercials... Try Fage or Chobani 0% or 2% or if you can fit it in the Fage full fat. OMG yogurt heaven! :) Edited to add the Fage may not be with the other yogurts in your store. When I shop at Kroger…

^This ...and... ^ This And you have to try different brands so many brands taste horrible to me and I like Greek yogurt. Finally, if in the end you find it nasty whatever you do don't eat it! :-/

Born and raised in Metro Detroit and pizza has always been rectangular and thick. Positioning of toppings and sauce is debatable. Thin crust pizza comes from Pizza Hut, not Detroit. OP, your pizza looks EPIC and I'm putting the recipe in my box for future use. I've never had a Chicago style pizza but I've always wanted to…

In for tea! I drink a lot of Celestial Seasonings Zinger teas (hot and iced) because that's what I grew up on and I drink unsweetened iced tea and I love hot Oolong (that Oolong Lychee sound amazing!) I've had some really amazing teas in my life though not just the crappy American supermarket teas I regularly drink.

That's why they made cheese and peanut butter crackers because cheese and peanut butter are made for each other. I liked left over mashed sweet potato (butter and cinnamon) in my Greek yogurt, and I like it all to be cold.

Double Salted Caramel Pecan. I ate a whole freaking pint a month (or so) ago, OMG! Umm... but seriously, I <3 ketchup chips. I think it's my guilty pleasure simply because so many people think that they're so gross and if I can't get a bag of them I'm up for dipping plain chips in ketchup because that's what I did long…

Thanks for the picture. That's so interesting!! I wrongly thought it was like shredded wheat all of these years (pretty sure someone told me it was, they must not have known what shredded wheat was!) Next time I am in the international aisle I might have to give them a go.

Flavored tuna fish and celery. They make some cans that are easy open but they tend to be a bit expensive and they can be smelly but 150 calories for 25 g protein that's portable isn't really all that bad.

I'm five foot on a good day :) I am heavier than you and burn more calories just moving my heavier body however, unless you are a wheelchair user I'd venture to guess as a student you are more active than I am and burn more calories just in that. I eat 1400-ish calories a day without any exercise. Make sure that you are…

There were always (well, at least 25+ years) Samoas/Caramel de Lites and Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties. Little Brownie Bakers does Samoas/Tagalongs and ABC-Interbake Foods does Caramel de Lites/Peanut Butter patties both companies do Thin Mints LBB's are smooth at the edge and ABC's are slightly scalloped. I prefer one…

Finally accomplishing something that really matters and knowing I did everything I could possibly do to make it happen.

Just quoting this and giving it a bump for people on my friends list!

Completely non traditional but how about a sandwich? Or make some oatmeal cookies. Literally, oatmeal cookies. If that offends you to your core just use less sugar. Before Christmas we lost our power for quite a while and we all laughed because someone had made oatmeal cookies (I think 2 or 3 gallon bags worth) before the…

Cereal and yogurt Fruit and a cereal bar Peanut butter toast and fruit or toast and an avocado Oatmeal Soup Pancakes/Waffles/French toast Eggs and toast Breakfast burrito Doughnut (or muffin or bagel) and coffee Leftovers... ... And sometimes I skip it and just eat lunch!

Nope. And I assure you it makes no difference. This last week I ate several times in the middle of the night and I still lost weight. The only thing that does matter is that you count the calories whenever it is that you eat them.

Maybe someone like me that has nearly 10 times more than you to lose has it easier? (I know it's totally crazy that I just wrote that but perhaps it really is the truth!) I started this at very close to 300 pounds and I am a very short female. Just being so close to 300 was scary. Not to mention the toll it was taking on…
