For me it depends. I do feel compelled to log it all, but I'm also working to establish a habit that will last my whole life, so it needs to feel manageable and sustainable, so I try to be mindful and reasonable. For example, if I go to the grocery store and try 4 cheese cubes and a sampling of nut butters, I'm definitely…

Hi all! My name is Bridge. I live in Portland OR. I am 4 lbs into my plan to lose 51 lbs. I'm 43 and have found that my body does not respond the way it used to. I've been creeping up in weight for about 7 or 8 years, and minor adjustments just don't cut it anymore. I work from home and weave in as much activity as I can…

You know, normally, I'm one of the cleanest eaters I know, and then when I Starr doing something like mfp, I lose track of clean eating. I get sort of an attitude like, now I'm watching my calories and I'm being so good all the time, and exercised enough to have the calories, so I deserve this bagel. It changes my mindset…

This is awesome! Is it too late to join in?

The job of the FDA is to regulate what we can and can't put out there and call food. We would never be angry at the FDA for banning a known carcinogen, so with diabetes being the killer that it is, and refined sugar and HFCS being chemicals made by industry, why isn't it normal procedure to ban what's found to be unsafe…

I was a vegetarian, near vegan for almost 20 years. When I was in my twenties it worked just fine. by 40 I couldn't help but see that I had no energy, I was putting on tons of weight, I was utterly fatigued all the time. As I was beginning to experiment with adding in a little meat, my husband red the China Study and…

So, it sounds like your issue isn't as much about wanting to lose weight as much as some redistribution and sculpting. My understanding is that there is a strong correlation between belly fat and our body chemistry, related to insulin response, and hormone balance. There some great info on this in much of the Paleo/Primal…

Just a thought, but at 5'9", 155, with all that working out, it seems very likely that your body has found its happy weight? I'm 5'4 and I know at my fittest and healthiest I was a solid 130, so it seems possible you're not far off.

I get the red face too! I recently switched to working form home, which is inherently SO sedentary, I don't even walk to a car anymore! However, I have found myself getting lots more exercise during the day. I walk almost every lunch. I only get 30 mins, but I go as fast as I can, sometimes, I jog/walk intervals (I'm not a…

So much inspiration! I am just getting started and I think I will have to take some "Before" pics this weekend!

I haven't been with MFP very long, but I've found that if I get plenty of exercise, I don't have to forbid anything, or subsequently cheat with anything. Just tonight, I had enough calls after dinner for a small hot fudge sundae! I mean, i see it as an indulgence because of the sugar, but not as cheating on my plan. I…
