MFP's easy-to-use interface and straightforward design makes it very attracting to someone who relies on themselves to figure things. What motivates me at the end of the day to record my calories was how it automatically posts how many days you've logged on in a row when you hit a milestone, and it's so much harder to…

Yes, the beauty of MFP is that it allows you to add your own recipes and foods, so people from all around the world can eat their traditional cuisines without having to go through rocky mountains and hot fires to find out how many calories and fat is in the food. Hehe. BUMP!

Hello. Welcome to MFP. A suggestion I have for you is to use a technique I use. I'm not a stress-eater, but I do get cravings when I'm bored every so often, and so, to satisfy this craving, I eat an apple and then go for a walk/do something active.

Hello. Although MFP attempts to be as accurate and generic as possible for everyone, it is extremely difficult for someone to have a "standard" in terms of everyone's weight loss.

You know what, dear, your body is still adjusting to your new healthy lifestyle. Good things come to those who wait, and patience is a virtue! Don't give up, it's going to be worth it.

Are you recording your exercise? If so, MFP usually adds extra calories for you to use if you've burned enough. If you want to eat more, burn more.

It's not only the shrinking factor that should be noted! You can see a significant change in self-esteem and confidence, just by looking into your eyes. No, my mind isn't playing tricks on me, nor is it the lighting. You can actually see it! Oh, and your face. I don't know if it's just me, but your skin looks so much…

My mum has close relatives who have fallen prey to anorexia. I think I'm mature enough to understand where I'm heading in life, and I'm pretty sure I don't have the will power and motivation to stray from the original plan of slight weight loss to a sudden ED lifestyle.. So, whenever I turn down a food (simple too...) she…
