Interesting, on this website, we can actually form our OWN group, then all the logistics are taken care of for us. http://www.dietbetter.com/

I've kind of been thinking about it, but thought if enough people were interested that we could have several admins that have a large FB history (no newbies) with people who could vouche for them. All participants would need to take photos with certain requirements (something in them to prove date) and pics of scale…

OK, great! Thanks!

Have a FB group for those looking for some heathen MFP togetherness. :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/433946350074168/

Oh, can you see the picture? Yes, I've only been going for about a month now...tracking every single thing. Weighing everything for the last 2 weeks or so.

Not sure how to get a photo on here...hmmmm

Can't wait to check out this science, and get to know all my sinful friends. :) Also...AMAZING weight loss!!

We're such a threat...what, with all those low cal babies on our food diaries.

Interested in knowing more. Do you have any good links/info? Thanks!

Really good stuff in here. Thank you so much for laying it all out for me. I think I should try breaking my meals up. Even fitbit is telling me I eat too much at night, but it's a habit, so I'm trying to just lay low for a bit so I don't get too overwhelmed. I was looking for an alternative to my creamer in the AM. I like…

This totally made my day! Thank you!!

Multiple junk punches!

Awesome advice! Yes, I actually just stopped doing the quick add 2 days ago, and it has helped to open my eyes. Weighing instead of measuring is great advice! I do have a food scale, and usually weigh out things like the veggie crisps, etc. But never thought to weigh peanut butter. Haha! Normally at this point, I think,…

Hopefully that worked? Not sure why it keeps changing back? The past two days I started actually entering all food with advice on here instead of doing quick add calories. I have a fitbit, so my deficit gets calculated automatically based on my activity. I am disabled (have a bad foot), so am primarily trying to lose…

I have changed it to public 3 times. Let me try again.

Do you have a link to this group? I can't find it on FB..

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions! I am going to log everything instead of quick add and open my diary. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I could use the advice, as I want to be as successful as possible right now. Appreciate it!

Please feel free to add me! I have over 150 pounds to lose and would love to work with others. :)

What stats do you need to know? I use a fitbit to calculate daily calorie burn and try to stay almost exactly at 1,000 calories. I know there are some things I haven't added, like a piece of gum or ketchup before, but for the most part, I track almost everything. I usually just quick add the calories instead of adding…

36...maybe I should have a pink stache more often? ;-)

Thank you! I'm getting there. I appreciate it.

I understand the difference between physical and mental addiction. I'm not a ****ing dumbass. Yes, it is JUST AS mentally addicting. Sure, the body will not go through violent withdrawls without it, but there is just as much to a mental addiction, which is why even after physical addiction is over, you still have a mental…

Yes, it needs to change mentally, and that is a work in progress. But for people to not be supportive doesn't help. Look, it's a "SUPPORT" thread, not a "be an *kitten*" thread. I'm proud of people for losing 10 pounds, but it in no way lets them feel what it's like to have food addiction. In no way would anyone who has…

Addiction is a disease, no matter what you are addicted too, and yes, there are TONS of people who manipulate and steal for food. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2349007/Food-really-addictive-Study-finds-brain-activity-similar-heroin-users-eating-certain-processed-foods.html

Thank you to those who provided an answer. It's apparent a lot of you haven't ever struggled with food addiction, not even once. Don't tell me that just because you're trying to lose your 15 pound side handles, that makes you strugglin. To someone who struggles with food addiction, bringing food into a house is like…

I'm in Yelm

I'm confused sockergurl, but I'd say yes...you're hot. (if that's who I'm answering, technically you're below me)
