I also agree that you should find a new boyfriend. It's understandable that you'd want to improve your eating and fitness so that you aren't getting winded when you're being active, but it's not okay for your partner to dictate how you look. What's he going to say if you have a baby or when you start aging? You're barely…

If it were me, I'd log the chicken as a stir-fried chicken, along with a second serving of curry sauce.

Maybe you could benefit from a few stress reduction activities that you can find in a book, workbook, or online article. You could also try reframing how you're looking at your work/life situation. Sometimes when you can only see one pathway, it feels frustrating when it's blocked. Try looking for the other pathways.

I find that mindfulness, affirmations, and getting up to walk around/do a few yoga poses can help with my binge eating. I'm a stress eater and eat my feelings, so it's not always about the food. Sure, I sometimes crave my favorites. But if I'm mentally ok I can follow a moderation plan.

I am a teacher and have mine set at active. I usually have a Fitbit (it's broken atm), and the numbers matched when I started using it during the school year (meaning that MFP was projecting the correct calorie burn for me according to my Fitbit charge HR). From there it's just about tracking my food and being consistent.…

I've never had bad acne, but after I first lost a bunch of weight my face broke out terribly. I tried all kinds of stuff, but what actually worked was lemon water. (I know it sounds like *kitten*, but I swear it works.) I started putting lemon wedges in for flavor and then started squeezing in juice, so I discovered it by…

You guys are kitten ;) amazing! Thank you for helping <3 I do think my shape is pretty noticeable in clothes, lol. I'm not sure why it was a surprise. It's not like I Ursula-hulk out my clothes.

It does that on mine as well, and I believe it is because FitBit is projecting your exercise calories based on your activity level at the time. That means that if you're active early in the day but sit around later you will have a lower earned amount that previously projected. Similarly, mine is set to take away calories…

I know those feels!!! It's not about weight loss, even though it feels like it is. Why not focus on caring for yourself and let the pieces fall into place?

Wow, four preps? You're a beast! Lol. I have two, and it's a lot. Maybe you could track your steps at work to make sure you're staying active (I know I sail right past 10,000 before 3pm, and I teach seniors), and then add in short (like 15-20 mins) high-intensity and/or weight training workouts on three weekdays with…

Feel you on this. I am not a dog person, and people act like you're a monster when you don't want to have their dog all over you. I love animals and want all dogs to be happy, but I really don't want to touch/interact with them. Unless it's a Pom puppy...

I don't think that the shaped/themed spaghetti O's taste as good, but I still buy them when given the choice because it's just more fun to eat Disney Princesses (or whatever) than it is to eat the O's. :|

I don't know why you're being rude to this guy when he actually offered you helpful advice and a nice comment, but whatevs. Lose fat and you'll see your abs. You have to have a really low body fat percentage to see abs. That's what you need to "add" to your workouts. Losing more fat.

I also hate this. I think it's because the person vacuuming is both doing you a favor (because you don't have to vacuum) and mega inconveniencing you at the same time, so you want to be irritated with them but can't because it's ungrateful. Plus it seems like they're trying to run your feet over with the vacuum, lol.

When I get in chip mode I weigh out some chips in a bowl and eat them. I check the serving size first to have an idea about how many grams I'm going to want before I weigh them, but I don't always eat the actual serving size because there's something satisfying about throwing an extra chip or two into the bowl. Weighing…

As much as I dislike screaming children, injured children who have concussions (etc) from falling out of the shopping cart are worse. A child's head weighs a lot and makes it really easy for the child to topple out.

You guys...lol :D Somehow backing into a space between two giant metal objects is safer/faster than backing up into a large open space that is not walled in by metal and concrete. Makes sense (no it doesn't)

I also hate it when someone goes straight in but can't get it right...oh, wait. What were you talking about? :p

You can do it! Also, totes change your name because you're better than that. Technically orcas are pretty cute, though. Just a thought.

I love the Godiva 72%. After eating it for awhile I stopped liking candy bars so much because the chocolate just isn't that great, lol. It's really rich in flavor, so I don't want as much of it (usually).

Maybe you just think you're good at it B)

Yeah, but the process of backing into the space, which takes extra time and is more difficult, negates the advantage when leaving.

Why do you hate happiness? :'(

I have a Prius and forget to turn my car off when I get gas sometimes because it's so quiet. :#

I'm so confused right now. Why can't that person track for him/herself? Are you sneak tracking? Do you not have more than one device? I have so many questions!

Lol

Agreed. You are not a hero for making everyone sick while simultaneously making us feel *kitten* for wanting to stay home with the illness you caused.

Holy crap! :o Don't do these things... Seriously, just don't.

It's only funny if you're comfortable with being exes. I helped him write his profile and start messaging girls, so it wasn't weird for us. :D (Guys are so bad at messaging girls...)
