If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up!!! For me that helps me stay on track and gets me out of the temporary "diet" mindset...

40!!! Starting my best decade yet!

What is the primal blueprint????

I keep asking myself the same question - I've been working steadily on tracking food/exercise with MFP since Jan 1 and have lost 18 pounds and start to get discouraged when I see others who started around the same time and have lost 30-ish pounds. I have been fighting the urge to feel like a failure since this is going so…

That was totally motivating - I hope after losing 5 more pounds that I will notice that much of a difference!

Wow that's a great transformation - you are an inspiration - thanks for posting!!

You are a hilarious writer - such a talent! Just get into the habit of logging all the food and exercise - whether it is a good day or not. If nothing else, it makes you more mindful of what you are doing, even if you aren't reaching daily goals.

I carry a ziploc bag of chocolate cheerios and peanut butter cheerios - 1 cup is about 150 calories and satisfies my sweet tooth (usually!)

I think that for me, MFP is what helps me be in control, so if I stop using it, I'm probably in trouble! I've accepted that I need to monitor what I eat and my exercise for life - it's just something I will need to do. But that's just me! :)

I have had the same question but decided to base it on whether or not I am actually HUNGRY. If I take a brisk walk and burn 300 calories, I might not really be hungry so I might not eat those 300 exercise calories. But on days like today when I did a body pump class and burned 500+ calories, I AM more hungry so I eat some…
