How much do you weigh? If you're not morbidly obese you're either setting yourself up for failure or severe malnutrition. The posters telling you to re-think your goal are not being mean or unsupportive. They're giving you really sound advice. You should either extend your deadline or decrease the amount of weight you are…

Wonderful! Really great NSV. Keep up the good work!!

So unnecessary. :S

It will still all come down to context anyway, "ideal" is just a euphemism for "good" or "healthy". While I use "nutrient-dense" or "calorie-dense", I really like the suggestion of "sometimes" and "always" foods, especially for MFP. I think what causes a lot of clean eaters and newbies grief, is that IIFYM followers…

If you can't be happy with either option then you should just choose the one that makes you least unhappy. So 4 Happy Meals it is. You're welcome.

This is so true. Please stalk all the cauliflower threads and add this comment.

I legitimately love cauliflower so I want to try these, thanks. I can't wrap my head around the cauliflower pizza as a pizza substitute, but the flat bread with onions and mushrooms sounds amazing (recipe please @TheRoadDog)!

This was a really good article, thank you!

Yikes. You're right though, except for your trashcan last sentence which I'm ignoring. Consuming too much fat and sugar will not help you lose weight. Same for protein. If you consume more than you burn, you will not lose weight. So we come right back to calories in/calories out. OP, do what someone on the first page…

You can dislike their overall philosophy while not having an issue with the pizza. And you can like pizza and criticize PF all you want, but it is weird that the general MFP stance re: PF is to criticize the chain for handing it out when the general MFP stance re: pizza is that it is not unhealthy by itself and in…

I always find it so funny how some people are all "eat all teh pizza...make it fit in" until it's a PF thread, and then it's, "ahaha gym that's supposed to be for being healthy actually offers pizza, what a joke they're the worst pizza is so bad"

Really impressive! I'm proud of you. Congrats (on your health achievements and new addition) and keep it up!

Do the chia seeds have a taste? I've been wondering why people eat them...or is it just a textural thing?

Not a fail at all. You were under your calorie count so you're fine. Remember, everything in moderation. Don't beat yourself up when you go over your allotted calories/macros - you're more likely to binge. Just take it as a part of the game and learn from it. (And if you go way over too many times, you should look into…

I don't know how this is relevant, as I don't see why would you view throwing away food that you didn't like as a victory. That's a matter of preference and not self-control. If you threw them away because you realized that you took them only because they were there, not because you really wanted them, and you knew that…

Man I can't wait to be as perfect as some of these commenters. Waiting impatiently on that beautiful day when my self-control is so absolute that I can forget the reason I'm on this site, weighing food and meticulously entering it into a database so I can have a reasonable understanding of how many calories I've consumed…

Y'all are so brave and funny! - Sometimes I just have cake for lunch. 3 cupcakes. Or a mini-bundt cake. Or huge slices of cake. - Sometimes I have cake on top of lunch. (3 cupcakes in addition to my lunch :( ). - I believe that IIFYM is the best way to go and openly make fun of Paleo people and clean eaters, but I am…

Don't get why you're mad - because she lost weight and now has the audacity to eat fatty foods in front of people? If she can keep the weight off, I think it's a great message - that you can maintain your weight loss while doing things you enjoy, like baking, and eating cake. If I were prone to call people haters, I'd say…

Most people say you should weigh in the morning because you're more likely to get a more accurate figure - before you eat any food, when you're not wearing any clothes, after you're used the bathroom. Weighing after eating and exercising and when you're wearing your work clothes is going to create some distortions in the…

My weight usually increases by at least 3-4 lbs when my period is on. Plus I get bloated. I know it's coming when my waist looks splooshy (and I bite everyone's heads off and cry at commercials...). Maybe you experience this as well? Even if you don't, don't make your weight the central marker of your progress. Judge…

I hate brown rice, it tastes so bad like I would honestly rather eat cauliflower rice than brown rice. I kinda even dislike people who say they prefer brown rice to white rice...I can never fully trust them.
-
A food can be considered "healthy" to some people and still be high-calorie...for example a lot of vegan and paleo-approved meals are really high in calories but because those diets are considered healthy diets, people feel as though they can eat as much of them as they want and still lose weight, when they can't. This is…

I only log tea or coffee if I add sugar or milk to it. If not then I include it as water.

I have a slight issue with using the word "addiction" to describe one's relationship with sugar and carbs. This is because I feel that most people are not addicted to sugar and carbs at all. If they were, they would scarf down bananas and apples and oranges (as they contain sugar) without being able to stop themselves.…

If you're not hungry in the morning, don't eat until you are. There's no reason to eat breakfast unless skipping breakfast is detrimental to you in some way (for example, if I skip breakfast, I usually am famished by lunchtime and am more likely to make impulse decisions that will throw my goals out of whack). If you can't…

Only one thing - you're living a real life now. It may not be the life you want, but it's the life you have, so cherish it no matter what size you are. Seriously, make an effort to love yourself and appreciate your life. Focus on the good things in your life. It's so much easier to treat yourself well and take care of…
