* Stay out of social media (including forums like this) where everyone does your thinking for you (irony not lost on me here). * Find something that works and be disciplined ( I tried 5:2 and switched to Lifesum app for a while ) * Eventually form habits around it. * Remember that this is something for you to do, not…

Predominantly a USAian forum, so I understand "woo" to most is a bad thing, but in much of the rest of the English speaking world, it could be considered a positive thing. MFP were told this way back when they introduced it, but chose to ignore it, and people's feelings.

East London

My first thought was: Woo |wuː| verb (woos, wooing, wooed) [with object] try to gain the love of (a woman), especially with a view to marriage: he wooed her with quotes from Shakespeare.

Apple watch isn't waterproof, doesn't track sleep, and only lasts a day on battery/normal use (I new one is due out soon, so maybe that will be fixed). There are Fitbits that do more and clearly are more fitness focused. Personally, I use a Pebble Time smartwatch. Steps/Sleep, waterproof, lasts at least 5 days without a…

buy my coffee and leave

I read this as making a pizza with holes in a pan. Donut-pizza :)

If you have an iPhone 5s, the MFP app will capture all the step/motion data from the phone's hardware. Obviously you have to have your phone with you, but I find it useful enough not to buy extra hardware.

People can state whatever they like, but keep it in the MFP forums where nobody seriously expects anything intelligent.

Maybe people finally snapped with the misuse of "loosing?"

I stop counting when I reach my daily limit (sorry, target). Mostly this coincides with me stopping eating :)

Disappointingly, when I google me, I only find me :(

My problem is that I have a group of people at work that I like to socialise with at lunchtime, and that means going out to lunch, or at least the staff canteen. Yes, I can say no. Yes, I can eat more healthily if I do go, but it's not always going to work out. Like others have said, I try to reduce my intake at…

Shame because I only came here because it might be some crazies eating books :-)

The >>>> bit <<<< is probably key.

Congrats, and a fantastic pace too!

Pretty much anything in the Food and Nutrition section of the forums...

I love the thought gone in to this before/after and great results!

People who obsess over weight, and drop to a target then stop and go back to what they were doing before.... those are the sort of people that put it back on. Often the sort of people that "tried every diet there is," and for whom "nothing every works." Basically, if you want to be fitter, healthier and usually as a…

would be a darwin award candidate, but it happened before she procreated.

I'm a slaphead so find this fascinating!

Whether you mix it in your glass, or in your stomach, it's still mixed. Your body doesn't care.

Yes, people can add whatever they like to the DB but they also have the option to keep it to themselves. Putting in something that is blatantly wrong is not good as too many people think MFP is awesome and believe anything that comes up.

It sounds like it's more down to (my emphasis) ELIMINATING your late-night EATING. Doing it by time is as good a way as any though!

Yep :) that and: when the only food facility within range is closed. Otherwise, no.

organised religion

If you eat cheap packaged/processed food, then just assume it's going to be crap. The big difference these days is that the food standards agencies can (and do) do dna testing and other more thorough testing and news travels instantly.

Treat the down escalators as a stepper :-)

very. we don't put weight on our driving licenses.

A lot of noise here. Yes, counting is good because guessing is bad, but counting can go wrong too. Almost every entry in the MFP food DB is wrong on at least one metric, and Americans seem obsessed with the idea that a "portion size" is constant. Two weeks where everything is more or less the same is probably enough to…
