Some thoughts on "Starting Over"
Starting Over Since starting to use MFP – I have noticed a steady stream of people writing “starting over” posts. They tell the age old story of “I tried and failed, now I'm trying again”. There is often an unhealthy dose of self-flagellation – as if beating up on yourself is actually going to help. There is often the plea…
Maintenance
Hi all - I've reached my first "pit stop" weight and switching to maintenance. The plan is 1 fast day + MFP set for .25kg gain + eat back half of exercise. Obviously I'll modify this depending on results. Wondering what others have found?
Unhelpful advice by experts

I've made some improvement but still function at about 50% capacity. I got from 109kg down to 91 about 10 years ago doing Atkins but could…
Misreading bodily sensations
For a long time I have struggled with eating due to what I perceived as awful hunger. About a year ago I started the 5:2 diet (modified alternate day fasting) as the most you have to experience is a day of hunger before filling up. I noticed something interesting the other day - the day after my fast day (eating normally)…
