Need online friends
So here's my story. I used MFP with regular working out to lose 40lbs last year, and then gained back 5-10lbs. This year, my goal is to lose 20lbs (which I intend to keep off). And I'm struggling with motivation and consistency. Would really appreciate some online friends to help me stay on track :)

This cold weather is making me hungry?
It's so frustrating. I've always observed an increase in my appetite in winter, and since I've lost > 40lbs since last winter, my TDEE has dropped, and I really can't eat the way I used to in previous winters or I'll quickly gain back the weight. I crave burgers, and fries, and more burgers, and more fries. I had a…

What has potassium, iron and calcium in it?
Hi guys, I looked at my mfp reports and it seems like I'm missing my targets for potassium, iron and calcium. I'm trying to lose weight so I have a limited number of options. Does anyone know a low calorie food item (especially low in carbs) that is rich in all three nutrients?

Why am I so hungry today? Aargghhh!
So I've been doing really good this whole week and Saturday. Sticking to planned meal and snacks. Going to the gym. I just had my nice dinner of vegetable salad, and roasted chicken breast, and an apple. Very filling (in theory). But I'm still hungry! I don't know why. I shouldn't be. I know a couple of hundred extra…

~45lbs overweight and trying ...
Hi all! This is my story so far. I had always been close to overweight on the BMI scale, but 5 years ago I went into a severe depression, which I treated with food. As a result, I got 55 lbs overweight. I had been making halfhearted attempts at losing weight for over two years now. A couple of months ago I started logging…
