Quick note to posters; this discussion jumped the tracks and was briefly moved for moderation. I did my best to remove everything that left the rails and leave the discussion as it had been.

Closing for mod review. At first glance this appears to be promoting a VLCD, so it’s unlikely this discussion will be back.

Please note: I am going to move this section to debate now. The OP has had their question answered by several different view points and I feel from here for this discussion to continue it needs to be clear this has become a debate and I encourage people to cite their sources going forward (in this discussion) than only…

Uh, you guys, please stop flagging *each other* - if you are reading this discussion and genuinely offended by profanity that is getting through the filter, use the Flag > Report post to tell us about it. You really don't want an admin coming back in here so... pretty please to be listening. :-) And remember while we try…

@Reliata Great point! We updated the list. Thank you!

This discussion is now closed. We want to remind everyone that MyFitnessPal should be a place where if you don't want creepy interactions, you shouldn't have to deal with them. I think this group knows all about blocking and ignoring and checking your privacy settings but please also remember to send any staff mod a PM or…

Oh I forgot how good that old Alli thread was - thank's ya'll for the mid-day laugh attack.

Ugh. My apologies we had such a bad spam attack that didn't get addressed by moderators for hours. We do have an international moderator in the English forums but I agree we could use more "overnight" coverage and we will try to get someone on board before the new year. If anyone has suggestions for international…

@skymningen Great question. For the purposes of flagging spam, we try to draw the line at what seems to be "bot style spam" so someone who doesn't have an active account history, isn't trying to pretend to be offering advice, but is just blanketing the forums with links. If you see non-english characters, links to download…

Hey Folks! We are looking for holiday success tips from members -- if you have a quick tip or two for getting through the holiday season without sabotaging your goals, please share! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604955/looking-for-holiday-success-tips-from-people-who-have-lost-50-pounds/p1?new=1

@Skylara Thank you for posting and sharing your inspirational story and your fantastic tips!!!

@kmr0293 Hello - That looks like a fantastic challenge group! Would you mind sending a private message to one of the group leaders asking for assistance? I believe the questions you are asking relate to how the challenge is run and not a technical question so the group leaders will be better able to answer.

Thanks for reporting and checking @Hearts_2015 As a first action, you should click the Flag > Spam on these ones, and then if it doesn't go away really quickly, posting here will help bump it along. Thanks again!

Welcome to MyFitnessPal! Wishing you the best of luck with all of your health and fitness goals.

Done - thanks Hearts!

We have split off several posts from this discussion that were off topic and will keep this discussion closed but viewable since there are some useful posts on good high calorie foods on a budget.

This discussion is now closed. Our mod team has cleaned this up a few times today and I think the OP has gotten the answers she was looking for here. Thanks to everyone who contributed constrictively.

Congratulations on losing 10 pounds! Thanks all for the above great advice on how to handle or adjust the calorie changes.

Thanks for calling me in @Jruzer @kmr0293 If you still have questions please send me a message. @amusedmonkey gave a great reply (thank you!). Please do let me know via private message if you have any outstanding questions or if you are having issues with someone else on the site.

@masterwilde Congrats on your impressive success and thank you for coming back to keep us updated! Can you let us know how you are accessing the forums so I can answer your question on how to upload a photo? For example, if you are using a computer / web version of MFP you can just drag a picture into the reply box where…
