Height: 5'10" SW: 284 CW: 264 GW: 199 Truthfully I haven't posted in one of these threads since April. :# I'm very bad at weekly online check-ins and actually joined WW back in September after recognizing and coming to terms with my need for the sort of accountability it provides. I will admit that I am not a great logger…

I was a lurker to the last thread and figured I'd jump in this go around as it's incredibly refreshing to see numbers and hurdles…

27yo mom making my way back to MFP. I’d love to have some friends similar in age on here! Feel free to add me. :)

I don't know that I would consider most of these particular instances to be Thin Privilege but it is hard to take his arguments into serious consideration when it seems that nearly half of them were "This didn't happen to me when I was fat so it's absolutely not a thing."

I've worked at Arby's, Pizza Ranch, Subway, Starbucks, Tom Thumb Donuts, and Pop Century Resort (Disney Dining). Things definitely weren't meticulously measured - we'd only pretend to care when a manager was around. I'd probably assume the extra 20%. :D

I lost 60+ pounds before moving to Florida for the Disney College Program by logging on MFP. While down there, I discovered I was already pregnant and had to move back home. Deep down I always knew (though it took way too long to admit) that the relationship with my son's father wasn't going to last, so I ate whatever…

I've never found a workout buddy to be helpful - we usually just ended up ditching together, tbh. I do however like MFP because I'm vain and I like when people like my posts on how much weight I've lost. It's not noticeable irl, and I know this is something I need to do for myself, but the online recognition is nice.

I just filled out the form, if it’s not too late.

The Blaze is also a great deal. Anyone have that Fitbit?

I added you! I'm a FTM with a 5 month old. Anyone else, feel free to add me as well! :)

When you click on someone's name, there should be a sort of pop-up. Click on the username and that should take you to their profile where you can add them. I don't know if there's a quicker way to do this, but this is how I do it. :)

I'm a FTM looking to lose the (excessive) amount of weight I've gained since the beginning of my pregnancy, so about 14 months ago. Feel free to add me!

I was 250ish and didn't notice until 200ish. :s Took quite awhile! And I noticed before anyone else did.

I'm 24yo - feel free to add me! :smile:

Also, disliked candy doesn't necessarily mean crappy candy. I absolutely hate Snickers & Milky Ways, but I'd rather buy those than be the house that hands out boxes of raisins and Necco wafers. If you're gonna be *that* house, why bother?

I weigh myself daily with the Happy Scale app for three reasons: it shows me my weight trends, predicts my rate of loss, and sets smaller "mini" goals in a visually appealing way that makes me feel more accomplished and that also help to make the "main" goal seem more attainable. Then I usually only enter my weight on MFP…

What app do you guys like/use to track your daily weigh ins?

I was only on for about 30 minutes today and it said I burned 99 cals. I feel ya. :s

I only accepted the Weekend Warrior Fitbit challenge I was sent because I work 12 hour shifts both days. >:)

I can wolf down a jar of baby dills like nobody's business. When I went shopping at Aldi the other day, they only had 3 jars left and my first thought was, "*kitten*. There's not enough pickles. There's never enough pickles."

Is that cheese curds and gravy on fries? Yummm. Whatever it is, it's definitely not on my list of things to cut back on.

I appreciate you asking because I never could figure that out either!! And sorry for attaching another question onto your post, but I was also wondering about the accuracy factor of MFP... MFP is sort of known to award a generous amount of exercise calories burned. Without a HRM, or other similar device, would it be more…

My family kinda can go any which way. We have a dining table, which honestly, isn't the most frequently used. We also will sit on the floor and eat around the coffee table. Or we will go outside and eat on the patio. Sometimes the tv is on. Sometimes it's off. Sometimes there's a lot of chit-chat, especially if dinner is…

I have the Fitbit Flex. Then I lost it, didn't even think about calling Customer Service (they seem to be really good about replacing lost Fitbits), and bought another Flex shortly after. Like the One, it can also be relatively easy to misplace. If the bracelet comes unsnapped and you don't immediately notice, boom gone.…

I'm 5'11". :bigsmile: Feel free to add me, I would really love to have some ladies on my FL to better relate to and with similar goals as me!

Feel free to add me too! I'm 5'11" and needing to lose about 60lbs more. :noway: But this site has already helped me to lose some of it, so I know I can keep going! Some of my previous MFP friends have fizzled out so I'm definitely in need of some more friends and motivation! :flowerforyou:

Sorry your post got taken over by such snarky people. :flowerforyou: It seems like whenever someone asks a question on here, they're all quick to jump on you instead of actually answering the question in a positive and constructive way. There's seriously some uppity people on these boards, y'all need to calm down. :sick:
