well, it certainly seems that way, doesn't it? Some days I am convinced I absorb calories from the water in my bath ;) But, as wolfman said up there, we DO actually NEED calories to, you know... keep living. We just don't need the surplus we may have been living on and accustomed to ;) eat If you spend any time on the…

thats not how any of this works. i dont care if you are eating carrots and grass, if you are eating more calories than your body needs, you will gain weight. doesn't matter if its a candy bar, apples, or lettuce, or steak. if WHEN you ate affected weight loss, I never would have lost the 200+ pounds I did, as I tend to eat…

all that is needed to lose weight is a calorie deficit. How you do that, is up to you. I would beware of 'buying into the hype' of the likes of Fung and the 'Diet Doctors', but if Keto and IF work for you, and is SUSTAINABLE for you, then there is nothing wrong with it. I lost over 200 pounds eating the same things I…

they wont see it here. go here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/feature-suggestions-and-ideas

you dont have to make anything different than you ever have. learn how to use the recipe builder and weigh and log your portions. everyone in this house eats the same thing i do or they can cook for themselves.

paved roads, too????? :p

plenty of us do, or did that. I did. but this.... feels different.

I even BOLDED the 'hey this works for me, it might not work for you' bit LOL some people are just disagreeable. or perhaps they disagree because for THEM it wouldnt work. which.... isnt the point of the button. but, whatever, it doesnt bother me.

it could be hormones or anything really. id talk to your doc.

why in secrecy?

i mean.... a quick google search told me it needs to be replaced every 3 years so if its been almost 10 id say it needs to be replaced STAT.... https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/contraceptive-implant/

WHY do you think you eat all of them? is it because you consider them 'bad' and 'off limits'? like you should not have them at all on your 'diet'? is it because you buy them so rarely that it is a rare treat and they are so good you just cant help yourself? is it because you havent had anything else to eat that day and you…

Cliffs Notes of Weight Loss:* Weight loss happens in THE KITCHEN, fitness happens in the gym * small, sustainable changes * Understand weight fluctuations are normal. Thinks of a roller coaster, not a steep mountain slope down. Some weeks up, some weeks down. Its the OVERALL TREND that matters * Learn to weigh your food ON…

interesting. I lost over 200 pounds just by being here, learning how to weigh and log my food, and becoming more active. Guess I did it wrong. So, OP, you can do it wrong like me, and so very many others on here, or spend your money and buy a book or hire a professional. Your call. Cliffs Notes of Weight Loss:* Weight loss…

we spend more on feed and hay than on people food. farm life. LOL of our 5 dogs, only 1 can't be around the livestock. the aforementioned Dobby. He thinks chickens and ducks are WONDERFUL playthings.... I think the goats could hold their own probably.

missed my weigh in, sorry. been busy with play rehearsals for a show im in and then went and picked up a new family member and farm guardian yesterday. well, he wont be a guardian for a solid year or so... but eventually. Meet Harry ;) Who will be working with Hagrid and Holly. We have a Dobby too, but he's just an idiot,…

I have one NOW, and have had one for a long time, but for my first 100 pounds or so (I've lost well over 200) I DIDN'T. For me, it's a gadget that can give some interesting data points.

which leg could you live without? left or right?

you just had a BABY. slow your roll. it takes time for your body to recover, both internally and EXTERNALLY. Talk to your OB about how much to eat based on whether or not you are breastfeeding, and when you can exercise. with my first (many moons ago), I lost all the weight and was in my pre pregnancy jeans .... 6-8 weeks…

weight loss - no effect. i wouldnt bother logging it myself, or if i did i would not give any calories for it. definitely keep doing it though. yoga and pilates may also be good choices for you.

MFP doesnt do that. fitbit, apple watch do. the other smart watches I imagine also do. Also lots of apps available for your phone. or a good old fashioned calendar.

i mean.... when I started back in 2014, I was 387 pounds. 2 pounds a week was perfectly achievable and doable. 8 years later and around 160ish depending on the day, with 30 pounds to go.... I'll get there when i get there. Its set at .... 1 pound a week I think? if im under my maintenance calories (which is not much as im…

if a few pieces of chocolate did that (and i doubt it did) you need a doctor, not the MFP forums. as far as other options to chocolate or candy- i mean.... anything. fruit, the sweet and salty popcorns (boom chika pop or skinny pop) are good, sugar free puddings and jello, protein bars, yogurt (if you freeze it, its much…

i had a fitbit for years and years and years. got an apple watch a few months ago. the battery life was better on the fitbit. thats about the only advantage. not a big deal to charge my apple watch overnight or first thing in the morning when the first hour im not moving much, other than a coffee cup to my mouth. LOL

Define 'awhile'. is that a week, month, 4 months? I looked at your diary and you need to measure and weigh everything on a food scale. Avocado is calorie dense, and those estimates of a quarter or half can be way off. coffee with creamer - measure it out. what creamer? how many calories does it have per TBSP or ounce? 1/2…

fruits have wonderful nutrients that our bodies need. natural sugars (like in fruit) are digested and processed by our bodies differently than 'added sugars' (as in a cookie). As long as you are not diabetic, or have any other blood sugar issue, there is no reason at all to limit sugars and carbs (especially natural ones).…

if not eating in the morning naturally resulted in weight loss or a higher metabolism, I never would have ballooned up to WELL OVER 300 pounds.

178.7 last week 178.5 this week humph. lol

since 2014 ive lost over 200 pounds.
