Honestly, the one I'm going to enjoy and stick to. All the numbers in the world don't mean anything if I'm going to hate having to do it, or struggle to find time etc.

I'm not a fan, but I'm generally not at all a fan of this move to change web layouts to tablet/phone friendly layouts with lots of extra space etc. I'm a desktop user for a lot of things, and having to scroll and scroll irks me. I do understand why they do it, because that's where tech is going. My bigger issues are the…

It's not permanent. The official line is that they identified a 'bug' and will bring back the new look when it's fixed.

@MaddawgMadsen omg that looks amazing!! I'm so envious!! I'd love to do a trip like that. Thank you everyone for the encouragement and support. PW: 82.8 CW: 81.3 Woo, finally seeing it go down!! Boo, I have a cold. I actually stayed in bed til 11 today, but the real miracle was the puppy let me and seemed to enjoy having…

^^^ This. MFP is just another tool, and if you use it well, it can help you reach your goals. And despite the name, it's more about the food side of things than the fitness side of things - you track your exercise and it will tell you how many extra calories you could/should eat, and there are some exercise videos…

I'm pretty sure this is a foot fetish account.

Thank you so much for the encouragement and support, team, it really has meant a lot to me. I'm so up and down these days, and this really has been a comforting place to hide out, for all that I don't interact a huge amount. I had a lovely weekend, it was 2 of my closest friends' 40ths and also solstice, so we went to a…

I love that fried cheese smell haha

I'm a former WW and I'm much happier on MFP. Honestly, the WW program has just gone nuts. The 0 point food list means I can have a 1600+ calorie day and still be chastised by the app for not eating any of my allocated points, which encourages… what? Smashing a block of chocolate to get my blue dot? It makes no sense…

I agree with Fursian. Not saying your mom doesn't have weight issues of her own, but you are already at a very low BMI, though still in healthy range, and your goal weight is below healthy range. Sometimes when we are in the throes of unhealthy habits, concern can look like sabotage. Can I respectfully and kindly suggest…

It's amazing how little it can take to wipe out days of deficit. A reasonable, sustainable deficit is 500 calories a day. Unfortunately, an ice cream, a decent slice of pizza, some fried food…. any of those can also be 500 calories! I am like you, quite "all or nothing". I have had to work very hard to get to a point where…

I finally harvested the last of my trombocino for the season, I'm definitely planing them again in Spring! I'm pulling in decent harvests of golden beets, radishes and leeks, and my broccoli is starting to heart :) It's unseaonsably warm here, which is confusing the garden, but it's doing its best.

Update: I did it. I went to the gym at lunch. Only for 45 minutes, but it's better than not going at all. I'm going to aim for M-W-F at lunch for 45 minutes as a minimum. I have no excuse not to.

I'm very much trying to adopt this mindset. I was saying in my other thread that I've been leaving or avoiding the gym because I've been getting confused about my routine and I get overwhelmed and just leave. I think I'm going to adopt a rule that I must do 45 minutes when I'm there, regardless of what it is. No second…

Caramel and honey and maple syrup??

I'm guessing you've been trying to access them from the food diary? That only allows you to log them, not access, view, or edit them. On phone, go to "more" then to "recipes, meals & foods" and you will be able to access a list of your entered recipes, edit them, see the details etc. On desktop, just go to Food> Recipes…

Thank you so much everyone for your support and thoughts. I am on what's often used as an antidepressant, but my use is actually anti-anxiety, as I've had anxiety issues for a while. Thankfully I've been on it long enough that I am acclimatised to it, and I don't really think I need to increase or change it, I know that…

PW: 82.1 CW: 82.8 I'm slipping, I can feel it. I'm depressed, I'm still getting my steps in, only because I have to exercise the puppy, but I'm just flat and tired and it's cold and all of the mania and stress and nervous energy of the horrors is wearing off, and I can just feel the cocoon of grey just building up around…

This one in particular. The last sale of MFP, to a venture capital firm, put it firmly in the "keep it going til they stop paying" camp.

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…
