Hi everyone, I am phyl or Phyllis. This is my second mfp challenge and I need the motivation! I downloaded mfp back in March intending to log my food but not make any changes initially. I wanted a benchmark. However, I found that it was hard to eat things knowing I had to log it! So I jumped right in March 22nd at 209…

- Buying new smaller pants a little snug then a few weeks later they are getting loose. - Hearing people ask "What's your secret?" - purging things from the closet and drawers because they fit like a tent. This one isn't so much about weight as about attitude: - Realizing that I haven't ridden an elevator in almost five…

People like that are not worth your time. Your path is your own. Five pages (so far) of people are very proud of you! You are doing great!

THIS! +1 My only trick is deal making. I have to bargain myself into making better choices. During the work-week, I fill a 32 ounces sportsbottle when I arrive at work. I make a "Deal" with myself to empty it before I go to lunch. Then when I return from lunch I repeat the "deal" before the end of the work-day. That's the…

I'm about halfway to my loss goal. For my work in the yard or camping pants, I had resorted to zip-tying two belt loops to one another to avoid looking like a fool with my pants on the ground. ;) I spent my lunch hour at the Goodwill store and really scored! Three pairs of work pants that are THREE sizes from my size six…

If you are really craving something in particular, have it. Just keep your portion size, even if it's only a bite, to what fits your day. Even if you go over your daily calories by a little bit, the craving won't be driving you crazy. Sometimes just that little bite is enough to remind you why you are avoiding larger…

Before I got my fitbit one (which I LOVE!) I used an adroid app called accupedo. It seemed pretty accurate and it was free.

Twelve weeks in with almost 20 pounds gone, only ONE friend has noticed without "Catching" me counting or my husband tattling. Who will say "I can't tell" when your partner calls out attention. The one friend who did notice, I only see every few months due to distance. I've got six weeks until a beach trip with a group of…

I'm only five weeks in and close to you on loss and goals. My tips for snacking: Everytime you "Think" you are hungry, drink another glass of water. Sometimes we think we are hungry when we are actually thirsty. Plus, we need the extra water to lose weight. Try to have a stash of good snacks, like almonds. While not super…

These can be easily customized for picky eaters, different family member's calorie range, etc. Example: basic as original (with or without veggie adds) Make a little "bowl" in the top of the muffin add a teaspoon or so of spagetti sauce in the last few minutes of baking, grate some mozerella or parmesan cheese and brown OR…

Hello Neighbor! Now, is there anyone else from our little corner of South Cackalackie out there?

Cisgender female here. 50 years old. new to MFP. I have a close friend who is post-op FtM who is becoming a weight loss team-mate. Is there any difference on the calorie count, exercise formulas, etc. for gender? I've heard that men, in general, lose weight differently and more rapidly than women. Where do our FtM friends…
