Emotional eating? I've got it. Now how to get rid of it?!
Hello, just joined. In 2022 and into 2023, I managed to get my weight down to 10 pounds over my goal. I was doing so good. I was active. I was walking the neighborhood, going on hikes, going line dancing. I felt great! Then I met a man. He broke my heart on Valentine's Day 2023 and I've spiraled. Gained all the weight I…

How to report Catfishers?
I know if there is a post on the forums, you can flag them to get rid of them. But what about the catfishers over in the main feed who like to prey on women. We can block them but there should be a way to report them to admin so they can delete them. Is there a way?

I have a bad habit
So yes, I have a bad habit. I seem to always start off strong when I attempt to lose weight. Then I always let a bad weigh-in derail me. I get so discouraged that I just say the heck with it, and go back to eating willy nilly. This time though...I am DETERMINED to stick with the game plan. I started at 214 at the end of…

Still not able to get into MY HOME page on the website
I'm able to access it from the app on my phone, but I prefer using my computer to access this site. I sent in a message to the admins yesterday and have not heard back so hoping someone else here has had the same problem and knows what to do. When I click on MY HOME where I can enter my weight, change my goals or see my…

Scales - Do I need a new one?
So on Wednesday morning, I weighed 163 lbs. On Thursday morning I weighed 167 lbs. That's a 4-pound gain. This morning, I weighed 167.6. My calorie deficit is usually the same. I've been eating more carbs but have not gone over 100 grams. I took 2 - 5 pound dumbbells, and weighed them. They came out as 13 lbs. I changed…

Before/After
I started my Keto journey on August 26th, 2021. I weighed approximately 214 pounds. I say approximately because my scale was a dial one instead of a digital one and I could barely see the lines. Plus I think it was a few pounds off. Fast forward to today. 167.8 pounds! I know I will be going up and down at least for the…

Not a question but a TIP for those who have problems accessing their Home page feed
So a friend told me to try this: Load your Goals page first. Then once that loads, go to your Home page and load that. It worked for me! At first my Goals page was taking a long time to load, so I didn't think it would work. So I went to Check-in, inputted my weight, then came back to Goals, and this time it loaded right…

Looking for some new low carb foods to try!
I've been on a keto/lc diet since the end of August. I've lost 38 pounds since then, and have successfully lowered my A1c from 7.2 in Oct to 5.3 today. I no longer have to be on Metformin, nor Levothyroxine. However...while that is great, my cholesterol is now high. I ate a lot of eggs and used butter in a lot of my…

Looking for low cholesterol/low carb meal ideas
I asked this question in the general categories, and received only one answer which were basically snacks, not actual meals. And I already consume those snacks. But I need foods that will satisfy my hunger. I eat a lot of eggs/bacon/sausage/red meats/butter/tuna type foods. And salad. But a lot of high cholesterol foods in…

How to input food in the diary...?
Say you're at work and your coworker brought in bagels, donuts, fruit & coffee for everyone. All you pick is a small plate of fruit - a couple of red grapes, some cut up honeydew & cantaloupe. No way to measure or weigh. How do you enter it all in the food diary? It looked more than a cup's worth. Any ideas would be…

Two Months In
On August 26, 2021, I weighed 214 lbs. My blood pressure was 150/95 and my blood sugar was 132 mg/dl. I finally decided it was time to take my health seriously. I'm 59 years old and really did not want my retirement years to be in poor health and not be able to enjoy that time! I started a Ketogenic diet that day. I try to…

T2D here - Is this normal?
Hello, so I know there probably aren't any doctors in here, but if anyone is knowledgeable about T2D, could you weigh in please? I have a doctor's appt next week but just am a bit worried right now. So I've been eating low carb/keto since about a month ago. I've only started testing my blood sugar again last week. They…

Sodium Amounts
Hello. So in addition to being T2D, I also am hypertensive. I've been monitoring my blood pressure for a few weeks and I could not get it down to "normal". Finally yesterday, I decided to drastically reduce the amount of sodium I was ingesting. Because I am eating a ketogenic diet, with my carbs 20 or less, I've been…

Adding exercise to daily diary
I am starting exercise, so I don't have a lot to enter. But how do you find the exercise for using light weight dumbells for arm exercising? I've searched weights, lifting, strength training. Nothing. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!

Not new, but it's been awhile
Hi, I'm not new to MFP but it's been awhile since I've been here. I am sick of being tired, and I know my weight & eating habits have a lot to do with it. So here I am again. I'm a 58 yo female. I weighed myself this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I weighed 210 lbs, and until now, thought I'd be closer to 240. I had…
