I maintain without tracking calories. I counted while losing, but never owned a scale. I knew I didn't want to count for the reat of my life (it can trigger my ocd). I love being able to maintain without logging, for me it has helped sooooo much. While MFP is geared toward calorie counting, it is NOT the websites only…

Disagree... It was an opinion piece that will appeal to people who share that personallity, but could potentially deter others from joining and seeking help.

I am just here to see how many times the word "butthurt" is used...

If they didn't ask for your advice or opinion, then mind your own business... Delete them if you can't keep it to yourself.

Yep, you got my attention! Congrats on your success, that is awesome!!!!!!!

I claimed I was addicted to sugar long ago. Then I woke up and realized I just liked sugary foods and had no self control. Sugar is not evil and just because you don't have self control does not mean you are addicted to it. It is an excuse and until you start blaming yourself instead of food, nothing will help.

Poor guy! He works a physical job 6 to 7 days a week and you are fussing because you don't want to cook two meals. Do you at least work as hard as he does? I am going to make my husband his favorite dinner tonight just to show him how much I appreciate him. I just don't understand women, but I do understand why the divorce…

I don't weigh all my food (never have). I don't even own a scale. I have never had trouble surpassing my goals. If I ever do stop progressing I would think about getting a scale, but at this point I don't need to. I am happy for everyone who weighs everything and enjoys it, do what works for you.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Who are you say what is sexy and hot? You state your opinion like it is fact and really you are just judging a specific body type. Fit is the new skinny doesn't really mean anything because you can be skinny and fit at the same time..Of course you seem to have a problem with people who want to…

Bless your heart

Staying hydrated is important. It is important to take in adequate amounts of fluid. Plain water is not the only way to stay hydrated. I get hydration from the foods I eat, teas, juices, the occasion diet sprite, gatorade (when I am at work) and also plain water.

Pedestrians still do not have the right away... someone claimed that pedestrians had the right away which is untrue in Alabama.

This is how it is in Alabama...

Congrats on the WL and finding what works for you! I personally have NOT denied myself the foods I used to enjoy. I just eat less nutritious "junk" food in moderation.

MFP is not just a calorie counting site... When I joined, I didn't read anywhere saying I had to use all of the available features. I choose not to use the site for calorie counting anymore, but the site is still useful. I can log my workouts, water intake and also my measurements without using the calorie counter.

I LOVE intuitive eating! I counted to lose weight, but always had the goal of not having to count for the rest of my life. I learned all I could while counting and switched to intuitive eating for maintenance. I maintained for a year doing this and then decided to lose a bit more fat so I logged, but was more…

If it were only food allergies that would be one thing, but I have to omit a lot of foods from diet for reasons other than allergies. As I said, I work around medical issues also and would not suggest my diet to anyone who does not have my specific issues as it would not be sustainable for the average person.

Mine is closed. I wouldn't ask for advice here. I also wouldn't think my diary would be of any help to anyone. I work around food allergies, intolerances and medical issues I control with diet and exercise. I would not suggest my diet to the average person. I would feel irresponsible leaving if open to the public for those…

Maintenance is easy for me. I still have goals to hit for fitness. I am able to maintain through intuitive eating, that allows me to focus all my energy on health and fitness. I still eat the same foods but I am able to read real hunger cues, so I eat when I am hungry and stop when full (not stuffed but just full).…

According to the body type calculator mentioned above, I am an hour glass shape. 36-25-37

My guess is that she was dehydrated for the weigh in and has probably put on 5 or more pounds by now just from re-hydrating.

I state my intake as an approximation (always have) and will continue to do so...

Lets just say I will post where and what I want to because I can. If I was off topic I wasn't the only one. Talk to the others, maybe they will take you seriously.

Not comparing it to the op, just tired of the "you must weigh everything or why bother" crap...

Well I guess I shouldn't have bothered then because I don't even own a food scale.

This thread made me smile!:happy: Good for you OP! I LOVE CUPCAKES!!!! I made red velvet cupcakes yesterday, YUM! :drinker:

I am having guilt free donuts instead...

5'6" 140lbs maintaining with 2700 to 3000 calories a day.

I have gastroparesis, which causes acid reflux and contributes to g.e.r.d. For me it isn't as easy as not eating fried foods. I can't eat red meat or pork because I can't digest them properly. I have to watch my fiber intake to make sure I don't get to much at on time. If I do I stand to be in horrible pain. I also can't…
