Macronutrients
Hi All, I am interested in resources on tracking macros. I've been reading a lot about it and I think it would be something of interest to me, but I'm not really sure where to start. Any advice you could provide would be great! Thanks!

This time it has to stick!
Hi All, My name is Bri, I'm 29 years old and living in Chicago. I'm currently weighing in at around 270. I started my journey in May of 2016 when I realized I was tired of feeling tired, depressed and all around not like myself. I could barely climb a flight of stairs without becoming completely breathless, let alone…

People who work in an office setting - let's band together!
I don't know about you all, but working in an office sometimes feels like a set up for failure where keeping your diet in line is concerned. I don't know about you all, but in my office people are constantly bringing in lunch, we have someone who brings in a Portillo's chocolate cake about once a week, bagels, candy, you…

Hard Day Today
Bear with me, this is gonna be a LOT of information. I absolutely hate my job. I feel good about myself and my life when not at work, but as soon as I step back into work I feel like a failure, that I have no forward momentum, that I'm not going anywhere with my life. This causes me to snack while I'm here because it makes…

Discouraged today
So, I'm a little discouraged. I started tracking everything I was eating and eating in deficit on January 2nd. I was losing consistently (about 2 pounds) for the last few weeks and I was feeling great! Working out 4-5 days a week. Then all of a sudden this week, I'm up FOUR pounds! Admittedly, I haven't been as diligent…

Looking for other friends trying to lose over 50 pounds
Hi Friends, My name is Bri. I'm 28, living in Chicago with my husband and our two cats. I work by day as an administrative assistant, and I'm also a singer. I was diagnosed with anxiety 5 years ago after months of being miserable and being unable to eat. My lowest weight was 160 pounds. I looked great but felt terrible.…

Staying Motivated
Hi Friends, Here's a question for you..how do you stay motivated and excited by eating clean and healthy? I know that it makes me feel more energized and focused, but I still have to fight myself when my lunch is a salad and not something more decadent that temporarily makes me feel good. (Emotional eating at it's best, my…

Starting over
Hi Everybody. I'm Bri. I'm posting here because this is about my 5th time to say "I'm starting over" or "This is my fresh start", but at this point, I'm out of options and I have to start making my health my number one priority. You ever have one of those moments where you realize you've been putting your energy into…

Struggles with saying no
Hi All, I wanted to post about this in hopes that some of you might be in the same boat. I do pretty well with eating healthy, until there's something I REALLY want...My weakness is chocolate and italian food...and then my will power goes completely out the window. Afterwards I feel SUPER frustrated with myself, but it…

Back on track
Hi everyone! My name is Bri. I'm 27 years old and living in Chicago, Illinois. I have been on My Fitness Pal before, but never stuck to anything. I started doing Beachbody programs last May. I gained a lot of muscle and lost a few pounds, but nutrition has really been a HUGE struggle for me, so I wanted the accountability…

Spiralizer
Is anyone else as obsessed with spiralizing vegetables as I am? Zoodles are just about my favorite thing in the world! We have also tried it with yellow squash, carrots and sweet potato, and they have all turned out great. We saute them with garlic, olive oil and a little lemon juice for 3ish minutes, or until they get…

Trying again.
Hi Everyone, My name is Bri, and I have been trying to lose weight and frankly, not succeeding. I have been a member of Weight Watchers for over a year, and I was having a lot of trouble committing to the program. I don't think that particular method works for me, but I have had success before with My Fitness Pal so I…
