I weigh every day for a similar reason haha, if I only weigh once a week and the day I weigh happens to be a bloat day, then I get disheartened and think I've not lost weight that week, whereas by tracking all my data, I know what my trend looks like. But it's taken a very long time to get to that point and to know what…

Yup, I second the "don't tell them" advice. There's no reason for them to know and if they're truly that nosey and can't be put off with you just giving them a short answer, call them out on that instead. Telling people "I'm on a diet" is a red flag to a bull in a lot of cases.

If you don't "want" to, you at least resign yourself to the fact that you "have" to. What do you do when you don't want to go to work? Don't want to clean the toilet? Don't want to do the laundry? Either you do it anyway, because you have to, or you deal with the repercussions - having no money, risking your job…

Can I point out that MFP is 18+ for legal liability reasons, so advocating for family plans so you can add kids is unlikely to convince them to do so?

as the item's nutrition label has the information. *in the USA. MFP is a worldwide site, and labels in other countries don't have the split out information.

@Kali225 finding that middle ground rather than all or nothing is such a challenge . I get in the mindset that unless I do all the things all the time, then I may as well not do them at all, and I know how wrong that is, but my brain is wired that way. I hope you find your middle ground! @MaddawgMadsen you ’re amazing!!…

I'm jumping on board with everything said above and also pointing out - by making weight loss something that you need to spend or have extra to succeed at, you're giving yourself an excuse to not do it. You're making it a "would be nice" and not a "must be done". It doesn't have to be fun, or interesting, it just needs to…

Oh, I'm super curious - can anyone post some examples/screen shots? I don't get reminders.

Ugh, I just need to vent a little. I know I've been half assing my health and eating, but I just realised, after looking at a medical note from the end of April, I'm still the same weight, give or take. That means that despite the crazy amount of steps I do, I'm eating enough that if I wasn't walking this much, I'd be…

Every chain restaurant. In the USA, any establishment with 20 or more locations that are part of the same chain and sell substantially the same menu items have to make nutritional information available. Outside the USA, and outside chains, it can be hard to find that information, as places aren't obliged to provide it.

I'm confused at the correlation between these things? Salads do not impede you getting bendy and strong, and are also don't cause unhealthy hearts? Salads are great. They're also not necessary, you can eat loads more than salads an achieve your goals…

Honestly, one at a time. If I tried to wholesale overhaul everything to address every small issue, I'd lose my mind. Address one. Get used to that. Tweak it to better address another. Once step is better than no steps.

Hi @lauren_989 thank you for checking in! We had a long weekend here and my mum came to stay with me, and now I'm interstate for work for the first time since the Horrors, so that's a whole new thing. I'm doing ok, eating has been off track because of guests and travel, and I actually got less steps than usual because my…

Honestly, unless the person sending you a friend request is someone you have specifically talked to on the community here, they are 100% a scammer. No exceptions. Since MFP got rid of the main reason for the friend feature (there used to be a newsfeed feature), aside from wanting to talk privately with someone you've…

Most of the world doesn't have added sugar separated out on nutritional labels.

Do food labels actually state how much caffeine is in drinks etc? I've never seen that here (Australia)

@jguldi11 that's a huge victory!! Resisting the craving is a win, but not even getting the craving is a huge success! Dancing to burn off the cortisol sounds good, maybe I need to have a bit of a boogie…

PW: 82.3kg CW: 82.1kg I'm floating around the same weight, and that's annoying me when though I haven't been eating amazingly, I've been working out a lot, my entire life is in turmoil, my cortisol levels are probably through the roof, and the fact that I'm even staying relatively healthy is a damn miracle. I know I need…

@lauren_989 I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, and good for you for getting out there anyway. @Pearl4686 that's what happened to my husband, he was diagnosed T1 in his 30s. A doctor later explained he was actually a type 3A diabetic - I didn't even know type 3 existed, but when we looked it up, it made more sense. His…

13lbs in 3 weeks at your weight is an unhealthily fast rate of loss, to be honest. If you care about your athletic performance at all, you need to be looking at staying healthy and fuelling, not dropping weight as quickly as possible.

I'm still with MFP for pretty much the reasons above - it does what I need it to do for free, its synchs with my tracker and I don't need premium, I like what's left of the social aspect of it though I miss the newsfeed, and when you know what you're doing with the database, it is the biggest and most complete. It does…

I'm an abstainer, not a moderator. I just keep them out of the house. If they're here for someone else (used to be an issue, isn't any longer, don't recommend my method on that but that's a whole different story), then I put them in a separate cupboard and am very strict that they are not MINE, they are someone else's and…

I find vegetables delicious! I work them into all sorts of recipes, use spice mixes and sauces, create meals around them… I have no difficulty having lots of them because eating them doesn't make me miserable because I make them taste good. A lot of us grew up with boring, boiled bland veg and that's what we associate them…

Think of all the money I'd save, I could really afford a decent lawyer for the inevitable homicide indictment.

You are correct.

@lauren_989 Would you believe my crazy butt has signed up for another 25km trail run at the end of July?? I don't know when to quit haha. I'm getting serious about training for it, I kind of fumbled through the recent one and I know I can do better. I realised yesterday that while I have yoyo-ed weight my whole life, and…

Hi WaistAways! I'm Al, I'm a 45 year old woman living in Australia. I recently lost my husband suddenly and traumatically. Over the last almost-year I had been working on getting fitter and healthier, cutting down significantly on alcohol, eating healthily and regularly walking and hiking, training for a 25km trail…

Nope, and it doesn't look to be on the radar.

well, this is a community board for other users, so aside from a couple of staff who usually answer questions in the tech support and suggestions area, there's no real "experts" just people with experience. But the answer to your question is yes. If you have a premium membership, it is attached to your account and as long…
