Has anyone stopped counting calories and still lose
I've been here for over a year. Counting calories, weighing everything. At this point I'm just tired of it per say. I just want to cook dinner for my family and not worry about my portion being exactly calculated to the tee. In reality it only takes a few mins out of my day but I'm wondering do people actually do…

Don't like the way I look...help
Hi everyone. Ok so I've lost about 44lbs so far since September 2015. Stalled for the last 2 months (no loss no gain) simply from not caring anymore. I still have around 30 more lbs to go.

I was super excited because I didn't expect that. Anyway long story short...after a few Google searches it seems as if it's a bad idea to weigh yourself…

Get a scale people!
I just started using a food scale and I am just amazed at how much food I was eating vs how much I "thought" I was eating. If you are seriously wanting to lose some weight then this is the way to go. Eyeballing it is so way off. I was one of those people who thought weighing every little thing was ridiculous and would take…

Food scale
Sorry if this has been asked before but how exactly do you use the food scale? I plan to pick one up this weekend. I'm assuming (my little common sense lol) that you weigh the foods raw/uncooked. But how do you weigh recipes? For example, if I cook stew beef dinner for the family and eat some how can I accurately log that?…
