Buy a scale if you have not already done so. It's also smart to double check entries in the data base, or add your own in my foods.
-
I look better and feel better if I treat my daily cal. As a target. It might mean I will weigh out a bit of raw almonds at the end of the day to reach it.
-
You can have my food scale, when you pry it from my cold dead hands! But seriously, I have perfectionist tendencies. Using the scale satisfies my need to optimize my weight loss opportunities.

Greek yogurt works for me.

I don't know your situation, but in my household I am the chief grocery getter, meal planner and chef. I deal with the snacking thing by not having many tempting snacks around. I do keep apples, vita tops and 100 calorie mini bags of popcorn on hand. The mini bags have been particularly handy and effective. No more than…

I don't think logging everyday activities such as sex, housecleaning, shopping, gardening, etc. should be credited as exercise. Way to easy to mess up a deficit. I do think it's a good question though.

Running the neighborhood is hardly the same as floating down the river with a six pack.

Who are you to say whether she should be lauded or not. Who made you the decider?

My attitude as a pretty fit, slender person, formally fat, (I worked my butt off) 57 year old wife, mother, grandmother. We are all just one injury, life change, health set back away from an unhealthy weight. Kindness matters.
-
Trust me I'm no rocket scientist, but I found it easy. Easy enough to lose tons of weight.
-
When I see an obese person, my first thought is empathy and compassion. I have impulses of wanting to help, as a former very overweight individual. I know it can feel overwhelming, and difficult to just get started (thanks MFP). Truth be told, I don't support the idea of fat acceptance on a personal level, though I do not…
-
All these acceptance movements are the result of everyone gets a trophy. When did we become a society when nobody should ever feel bad? It's never okay to to be cruel or unkind, ever. But this getting ridiculous.
-
I would look at diet first. Are you using a food scale?
-
I shop the perimeter of the grocery store, with short pops into the interior for beans, oatmeal, canned pumpkin, assorted basic canned goods. Eat out way less! Pack healthy lunch always, even if just running errands. These are just a few habits, out of many healthy habits. I cannot say new as I overhauled my lifestyle at…
-
Yes my children were vaccinated, as are my grandchildren. The folks I know who won't or don't are scientifically illiterate.
-
Water, black coffee, black tea, herbs, spices. I weigh and track anything that has a calorie. I'm working on a few vanity pounds, so I find it's critical to be thorough, to maintain a deficit.
-
Whole grains are good for you. Eat them and stay at your calorie allotment, you will lose. I sure did.
-
My lunch today. 2 oz. low sodium turkey breast Half an avocado, mashed. 3 mini sweet peppers sliced 4 slices hot deli style jalapeño All this on one slice of toast, open style, delicious and lower calorie, very filling and satisfying!
-
I'm a successful loser, and MFP user. I recognize myself in that list. High fives to me for recognizing the legit info versus the BS you read on MFP.
-
Pack a deficit friendly lunch, whether for work, school, or running errands.
-
Digital food scale, the rest is incidental.
-
If you are not losing, you are not in a deficit. Replace your scale, and tighten up your food tracking.
-
When I run on my treadmill, I listen to music, and look at my view of the Columbia River Gorge. Works for me.

My mother in law was a professional genealogist. I have extensive records of my family. My conclusions on longevity, choose your parents.
-
I've lost a ton of weight. I don't think of, or describe it, as dieting, or a diet. If anyone asks I simply say I eat at a slight deficit, and track the foods I eat. No fads, no eliminations, just simple common sense.
-
I left and gained. Came back and lost it...
-
I drink a small amount of fat free milk in my fiber one cereal. I grew up on fat free, so that tastes right. While on a deficit I make a point of not drinking calories, it's what works for me.
-
I consider my daily calorie allotment as a target. I will weigh out some almonds at the end of the day to reach my target, if I am short for the day. For weekend flexibility I don't eat my exercise calories.
-
I had toast with avocado and turkey.
