I joined my MFP in 2011 and really started using it as a tool towards the end of that year. This was before there was an APP and I loved it. I enjoyed some of the social aspects because it was encouraging to me I wasn't sharing my weight loss journey on Facebook or anything so it was nice to have that community of friends…

Mashed avocado on toast is so yummy with some salt & pepper. You can also add tomato. And/or melted cheese and/or bacon. So good. So easy too for something quick. I love to put avocado in my salads too as a good fat to fill me up! It's more pricey but I like to get those avocado cups that are single servings. It's…

I have been an MFP member since 2011!!! I have used it to lose over 60 pounds and have been an active user on and off again throughout the years. I was VERY upset when you guys took away the barcode scanner and gave it to premium users only. I have stuck around and continued my health journey due to my friends and…

I've been exactly where you are at, so I believe you can do this! It is really hard when you stay home all day but you can still do it. You don't have to go for low carb or fad diets. Just buy more "raw" food, less boxed & processed things. They may be more "pricey" but there are lots of veggies that are cheap & you can…

Greek yogurt instead of mayo for literally everything! Its excellent! Greek yogurt is also a good sub for sour cream too. I recently started using full fat greek yogurt too instead of the no fat kind. Its more filling & creamy. Fat isn't the enemy - sugar is.

YES!!! Its very frustrating because last time I checked I'm an adult & I live in my body - not them. Its almost hurtful. People don't realize that them saying this is the same as telling an overweight/obese person "go get on a treadmill" or "do you really need that extra helping?" I also hate hearing "go EAT something"...…

When the scale doesn't like me, we break up for awhile & just avoid each other. But usually after a week of the silent treatment we come back together & we like each other again! :flowerforyou:

CONGRATS CHICK! :) My goal is to lose another 25 pounds to get back to my lowest weight!! I actually lost 64 pounds total when I was at my lowest... add some personal junk & backsliding & I gained some back. I know I don't have as much to lose as you all but I can definitely relate to it! I still struggle with the "mental"…

Hershey's Dark Chocolate Kisses!! They are only 20 calories a piece! Caramel Rice cakes.... plain or with peanut butter! Take a really ripe banana, freeze it & then blend it up with peanut butter or berries to make this sort of "ice cream"!! Cut up an apple, place it in a bowl with some water & microwave for about 2…

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure this out. I usually try to work out more when I know ahead of time but some how I always end up falling into peer pressure - "oh, come on! live a little! you look great!!" - and & eating way more than I should. Not many people in my every day life really GET my struggle with food in…

Its hard at first but it does get easier. I usually prelog my days the night before. So if I'm planning on getting up early & working out I plan to eat more food that day. I usually plan bigger snacks & special treats for myself. So when I wake up I am reminded that I need to work out so I can eat those things I planned.…

^^ this. I literally have a Lean Cuisine for lunch at work almost every day. I have also recently started with some Healthy Choice ones. they are just simple for when I'm at work!! I guess I'm lazy. I like sleep. I am not a huge fan of cooking in general - I get too distracted by other things! I'm trying to get better at…

heyya! I'm 26. I started really working at losing weight at the end of 2011... & at the beginning of this year I was down 64 pounds!!!! unfortunately I had several things happen in my personal life that shook me to my core & I gained about 20-25 pounds back. I'm slowing trying to get back into the mind-set that I was…

even though there's already so many posts about it: DO IT!! I wish I had taken more photos when I was at my highest. I didn't because I didn't want to remember myself that way. I felt horrible that I had gotten THAT much over weight. I have a few (in my photos) from when I had went hiking & I saw the pics & I was…
