Oh also, the message boards on here are great for support but the MFP "diet" doesn't work for everyone. There's another website that has more users similar to this but they are a little more strict but very supportive, you may want to check out. We encourage each other to do things to keep from overeating and use…

You have made the first positive step in addressing the problem and realizing what you want to change and give yourself goals. I have been struggling with the same thing for the past year and I just recently gained some control and started restricting, keeping my cals as low as I can without getting too hungry, but filling…

I'm very surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but this behavior shows the characteristics of NES (night eating syndrome) which is a very real eating disorder but is pretty rare so not many people are familiar with it. I have been suffering from it for 14 yrs and it has gotten much better at times and very very bad at…

After many nights of insomnia and watching the infomercials for the 21 day fix and other beachbody programs, I decided to Google personal results to see how well it actually works. Well I was a little disturbed when I found a pages and pages of "reviews" that people put much detail and time into making, and at the bottom…

I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS (yet) but I'll be seeing a specialist soon and hopefully get a diagnoses and start meds, because i do have most of the symptoms of PCOS and they have all come on within the past 2 years, and I am VERY discouraged about all of it. I've gained 30 lbs in the past 7-8 months…

Sorry to confuse you but I had to correct the post below,1 cup dry uncooked oats is actually 300 calories, not 600, but I think a lot of people get confused on that one! :) Ah! So confusing! Still doesn't make sense to me. Probably never will aha. Steal cut is my favorite but I can't figure out how to measure properly. At…

Some of the nutrition sites (even this one) have errors on their calorie counts for foods. When it comes to oatmeal, the amount listed on your container lists the calories for only the DRY oats. So for instance, my container of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats lists 150 cals per 1/2 cup. That is while it is dry. After adding…

Hi Corinne! I am also looking for friends and support, feel free to add me, I am a 29/female and needing to lose about 30 lbs. I definitely can use all the motivation I can get! :)

I am new as well, add me (as well as anyone else please!), I'm definitely looking for support and would love to have a weight loss/diet buddy, if anyone is up for having an email/texting buddy let me know! BTW, I am 29 yr old female, living in Alabama. Needing to lose about 30 lbs that I put on over the past year due to…
