- I know it's an odd time to start but start I must. Summer's coming! I'm at 165. I'd like to be below 150 for bathing suit season. Now that it's warming up I'm really hoping that I can get out more, to…
- We will be seeing my MIL over President's week. We have assessed the Covid risks & are OK with our choice. MIL suffers from IBS so I want to cook things that won't irritate her stomach. I'm just learn…
- When I overeat, which usually happens at dinner, I can't bring myself to log until the next day. Why does it feel less psychologically painful to see the big numbers in the morning? I do get a charge …
- I got a fit bit that also tracks my sleep. When I wear it I feel a tingly sensation radiating through my arm. After a few days it becomes a pain so I take the device off. It was worse when I 1st got i…
- I joined this site 4 years ago with the goal of wearing a bikini on my 50th birthday. I did, getting down to about 137 lbs. Once I reached my goal my husband begged me to eat & not count calories sayi…
- Right now my diary reads more like what not to do. Looking for others with low calories limits who can give me ideas & make me laugh when I want to quit.
- I was successful using MFP last year, mostly in the warmer months. I got within 2 pounds of my goal & then fell off. Now I'm back, heavier then ever & I'm frustrated. Yes I understand CICO & I know I …
- If you get a slice & the pizzeria doesn't publish its nutrition info, how do you figure this out? The place I go is local so it's not in the MFP list. I try to just pick the verified listing with the …
- Last time I got serious was during the summer months. I always thought it would be easier during the warm weather & assumed I pack on pounds during hibernation season. Back then it was a struggle to g…
- I have always had things relatively easy & as a result never had much self discipline in anything. I did MFP last year hoping to drop about 23-25 pounds for my big birthday. I only managed 19 & then f…
- I have been so lax. When I realized I wasn't going to make it into a bikini for my birthday I kind of gave up. I have been eating, & drinking (my personal calorie downfall), not logging & not exercisi…
- I'm getting down to crunch time. I have 6 pounds to go before my self imposed deadline but can't get them off. I know my nutrition is poor, even when my calories are good. I could use more info about …
- I started this journey in July & found it easier to lose weight in the warmer weather. Cold water is not appealing in cold weather but I'm starting to drink more hot tea. We did a lot of grilling outs…
- I bought a pair of ankle weights yesterday. 5 pounds -- 2 1/2 on each leg What is the best / most effective way to use them? I have been wearing them around the house as I do chores & even just relax.
- I know the mashed potatoes are out -- too much cream & butter. I'm going to try to limit myself to a tablespoon because I know I'll feel deprived if I don't have any. Stuffing is probably bad too, all…
- Do you take them? Should I start? On this MFP journey I don't think I've even come close to meeting vitamin goals more then maybe once. I used to get vitamins from juice but have tried (not always suc…
- I'm within 10 pounds of my goal weight. I figure I'll get there by the end of the year. So 2017 will be the year I maintain. I was the same weight from about 20 through 35. By 40 the pounds started to…
- My MFP friends are great people. But I get a little discouraged everyday when they come in under their calories goal & I'm over yet again. I console myself with knowing that I'm under their goals but …
- Can someone please explain this to me: On days when I'm not hungry, I tend to eat less than 1000 calories. I'm not going to force food down my throat when I'm not hungry. It's not often but when I log…
- I have lost 12 pounds since I started this journey. I'm back to a size 8 & it's relatively loose. But this weekend I'm leaving for vacation where people will want to photograph me in a bathing suit & …
- I am a recovered anorexic. In college at 5'7 I weighed between 105 & 110 & had huge body image issues. I never got treatment. I just started eating & stopped playing the various food games I used to p…
- I was excited when I realized that one of my favorite on the go sandwiches had 450 calories. Today I made a sandwich at home for about 445 calories. I know part of it is 200 calories for the bread. Bu…
- I was doing OK in July & August . . . getting to the gym 3-4 days per week & getting in a walk on the days I didn't go. But since September rolled around my days are packed. I leave the house around 6…
- I keep seeing all these recipes for zucchini noodles. What is the best device to buy? I'm defining "best" as the most economical (cheapest) that still works. I don't want to spend $100 on another usel…
- Please give me some willpower tips. We have 3 BBQs this weekend. B) Tonight I can probably stick to mostly protein. I'm the designated driver so I won't be drinking. Tomorrow I am going to want to gra…
- I have a sweet tooth. I was drinking a lot of regular Pepsi but have managed to cut that out. I now eat a lot of fruit, not too much processed sugar. As a result of all the fruit, my sugar numbers are…
- As we turn toward autumn, I will go back to hot tea for breakfast. I usually have it with a teaspoon of local honey. I like the way local honey helps my allergies too. But wow -- 60 calories a teaspoo…
- Ugh. This concept seems to elude me. When I made things like grilled chicken & steamed vegetables it's easy. You weigh; it's on MFP; viola, you know what you ate. But what do you do for other things? …
- I despise both. Trying to figure out if I can hide it so I can get more fiber / nutrients in my smoothie. How "green" does your smoothie taste with the veggies in it?
- I'm supposed to be at 1200 calories. I do eat back my exercise calories but I can't go to the gym 7 days per week. When I try to be good & I eat nutritious stuff in small portions but still end up ove…
