  • Creating your own recipes and meals on MFP are time savers in the long run. I also switched to eating off of a side plate instead of a regular dinner plate and have found that a simple way to decrease portion sizes. :smile:

  • I'm menopausal. No period for 6 months. Was losing nicely until 2 weeks ago and then have been up and down the same 4 pounds while maintaining good diet and exercise habits. Period started yesterday. A real doozy. Curious to see what the loss is by the end of the month

  • I weigh daily and track with the happy scale app that shows the fluctuations and graphs the overall trend. (you have to give this one time - at least 30 days- for the weight loss to show accurately.) I've seen changes as much as 4 pounds from one day to the next. I used to get frustrated with weekly weigh ins that showed…

  • I'm so with you. I appreciate your honesty Daisy. I've ranted at myself the same way so often. I had a surprising experience just recently when a coworker gave me a thank you card and in it told me that she thought i was beautiful inside and out. I was floored. I'm at my highest weight EVER (heavier than I was pregnant)…
