This is pretty much how I eat! Not totally deliberately, as in I don't watch the clock for my eating window, but I have tea and water until around noon, have 2 bigger meals instead of 3, and have some chocolate with tea before bed. 60+lbs down in 6 months. I don't credit the "fasting", I credit finding a way of eating that…

Yeah, that would be a really good feature, people have been asking for it for a while. Recipe sharing would be so handy

Whether or not it's been diagnosed in the past, you need to see a professional now, Isabella. Your diary is a massively concerning ED red flag. You are abusing laxatives and have set your calorie goal at a starvation level.

Preferably, because cooking really only cooks off water, so the more you cook it, the less it weighs, but the stuff that has calories is still there.

Period drama is my go to genre when I need to relax and switch off. Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility etc. I call them my doona day shows.

Thank you @lauren_989, you have asked such good questions! I am still doing yoga, and walking the pup, and that's a big victory for me, I'm usually all or nothing. I am going to get rid of my sugary treats, my husband's will have to stay but they will be HIS and not OURS. And thank you for reminding me of the numbers -…

You need to give a lot more detail if you're going to get any meaningful help! How long have you been in a deficit? How are you calculating that? Are you weighing and measuring everything you eat? Can you open your diary and let people give feedback?

You too!! I've been back about 6 months, there's still a few of us long-timers about!

I remember you! Welcome back!

Yeah, they got rid of the newsfeed last June, which was that whole wall where you could post, and chat to your friends, and have the announcements of diaries closed, and weight lots etc. The 'friends' thing is pretty useless these days, it just means you can send them DMs and see their diary if their settings are set that…

No, calories are calories. What the macros will do is affect the way your body reacts. For me, the first one will keep me satisfied longer and I'll be happy with that 190 calories until me next meal, and the second will give me a sugar spike, cravings for more sugar, and a crash after and I'll more than likely want (and…

@jontullis558522 You can still do it on desktop, but not on the app. Just put a - in front of the amount. That's why you're seeing the old posts - we were all on desktop back then!

WHY do I do it to myself? The last 2 days I have been tired, and drained and there's been emotional stuff going on, but eating a bunch of sugar doesn't help anything, not even in the minute, and all it does it make me feel awful. I literally feel hungover. I started out feeling like this yesterday and swearing that I…

This is a good point. With everything increasingly spreading on a global basis, it's not really on the business to make sure every country knows what it **isn't** getting, only what it is. I do see it very often on here and on MFP Facebook groups, people sign up and pay for premium expecting some feature that isn't…

I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean the ingredients in the recipes someone else has created? Or going to the food database and searching, say "spaghetti bolognaise" and being able to see the ingredients? If the former, people have been asking for the functionality to share recipes for quite some time. If the latter,…

"Hi, sorry, I noticed that you keep putting your things on top of mine. I have this skin issue at the moment, the doctors say I'm fine to keep swimming and working out because I clean the machines after, and the chlorine takes care of any contamination, but we're worried that it might be spread by direct contact. I can…

In the UK, as in Australia, our labels are already net carb (fiber is listed totally separately to carbs, rather than included in the carbs then noted as a subheading), and so it doesn't make sense for our tracker to show net carbs the way it does in the US. As @Lietchi says, MFP is totally USA centric, but to be fair, the…

@MaddawgMadsen omg, even before reading your comment, I was planning on posting in here about water intake. So I saw a women's health physio for, y'know, stuff that ladies of a certain age can often use some help with. She identified that I drink too much water, and should cut down. So yesterday I made a concerted effort…

Well, I can tell you, if you want to be a "nutritionist and a personal coach" with any credibility, you will ditch the woo-woo products.

Hi and welcome, Congratulation on 2 years in recovery! That's an amazing accomplishment! Are you still working with your dietitian and team? therapist? It's very important that you don't go off on your own on this journey, support from people who know you and your situation is so important. All the best to you for staying…

Oh, absolutely! But I tend to use some BIG containers when I'm making salami or smallgoods, so when I needed a new scale, the one where I didn't have to do any balancing was very attractive!

Welcome! I'm a former WWer too, and I find counting calories and watching my macros so much more clear. Especially with all their new 'free' foods, it just doesn't really make sense to me!

I bought a new scale recently and saw there were some that have an app, and the app has a food diary so the scale speaks to the app, then you do a search for the food and it already has the weight for you. I considered them for a sec, then realised that it really wasn't that big a time saver and what I really needed was…

Is this a body weight scale, or a food weight scale?

Welcome @pizzafruit! I'm a pretty new joiner and this challenge, and group has been so helpful. @MaddawgMadsen ahhh pets, don't you love them? They cause so much stress haha @ashleycarole86 I hope you're feeling better soon! @Gidgitgoescrzy I'm not on a plateau, per se, because it's not been long enough but I am hovering…

In another thread on the topic, it was suggested that I still have it in Aust, and the person from the UK I know who still has it, have because we've been members for many years and our countries have laws about changing T&Cs to remove stuff, so we're legacy, if you will. I'm going to ask the next new Aussie I see on here…

@MaddawgMadsen my gosh, the frustration, both on the wallet and the work front! Good for you for knowing your worth and looking elsewhere - I see you as the next Leslie Knope!!

Amazing!! I love your work, and your outlook!!

@IsabellaShoshana please, please read carefully and take on board the post above from Ann. She is so very correct.

I'm in Australia and still have free access to the scanner, interesting that someone signing up new might not - half tempted to set it up on my husband's phone and check! I do find that the scanner is very useful as long as I check the info against the label, might just be because I use a lot of Aussie products (obviously)…
