Weigh-in group?
I belonged to another site in which we had a weigh-in group for accountability, you would just post your weight at whatever interval you checked it. Does anyone know if there is a similar group or thread on MyFitnessPal? Thanks.

Face shape when losing weight
I'm considering getting a new pair of glasses, but how much of a change does losing 10-15 lbs make to your face shape when it comes to frames? I know it slims down a person's face but wasn't sure if it's better just to wait a bit before choosing a new pair ... Because they're expensive haha!

Nit-picky people
I chew gum to help with my weight loss. It sounds silly but it stops me from chewing on food and sometimes it causes me to forget I am even hungry until my next meal.
