Quarantine Motivation
So.... I decided to post here to help me in my weight loss journey. I was doing very good until this quarantine thing happened. Over the month and a half that I have been working from home, I've gained back 30 of the 50+ pounds I lost before. I don't know about you, but changing my routine really did a number on me. I…

Use Step Calories.... or not?
I've been debating with myself lately about should I use my step calories or not? For starters, I rarely go above 6,000 steps (have a desk job), even when I'm trying to get more steps. I have to use my phone so "exercies" steps outside of walking never get added. Also, the majority of my steps really don't raise my heart…

Motivational Support Needed
I tend to be an up and down weight loser. I do really good until I get sick or depressed then I eat. I also tend to be a social eater, so if others are eating around my I'll eat. I am now heavier than when I first started MFP many years ago. I've come up with a new catch phrase for my weight loss. Along with making better…

motivational support
I'm looking for some accuantantses to help keep me motivated. People who are willing to ask why I haven't exercised or finished my food diary. Thanks!

Not New But Re-Newed
I'm not new to MyFitnessPal, but I've not been using it properly for the past year. I am looking for support, so I need some new MFP friends for encouragement. Please friend me and help me be strong in 2018.

NSV - clothing
It isn't much yet, but I've reached an NSV. I can wear the pants in my closet again (only slightly snug). I was too big for them over the last year. I've finally gotten to that point. Next NSV - get in my shirts (the arms are still too snug on most). Then I can ditch my "fat" clothes!

C25K - When to start?
I've never been a good runner, but then I've never built up to running over a period of time. Not even as a child. I always got shin splints (even when I was in 2nd and 3rd grade and not over weight. I also have a weird form of asthma. I'm currently around 220lbs (lost 25lbs so far) and was wondering, about the C25K…

Leslie fan for years!
I'm so glad I found this group. I've been a Leslie walker for years! This is always my go-to exercise program. I have a hard time following her monthly challenges due to timing. Looking forward to this group helping me get on top of that and complete her monthly challenges.

My keys to a lifestyle food and exercise change:
I wrote this on my "recent activities" area of my home here on MFP and thought I would share here too. I hope this helps each of you as it is helping me. Keys to a lifestyle food and exercise change: 1. stop thinking you will not like it, exercise or healthier food, before you even try it (you'll be surprised at what you…

Keys to a lifestyle food and exercise change
Keys to a lifestyle food and exercise change: 1. stop thinking you will not like it before you even try it (you'll be surprised at what you do like) 2. stop thinking I can't have that (just makes you want it more) 3. stop focusing on what you are trying to stop eating and focus on something else (you won't miss it if you…

Temptations
Looking for support and ideas on battling temptations. I am almost daily being tempted by foods that I shouldn't eat and are not planned into my day. I have a carb addiction so that covers a lot of territory in the food world. What are some things that you do to help you battle temptations. I have worked with including…

Support that actually posts comments
Looking for a support group that actually posts comments and likes on their feeds. I have lots of "friends" that don't and it really isn't supportive. Looking for more that do. Friend me! I try to comment and like too!

Christmas Sabotage
Who came up with the idea of giving chocolates and candy at Christmas? Really??? Is it really necessary for every other person you know to give you a box of candy or chocolates? I've already started receiving candy gifts. If I get as much candy as last year, I'll have enough to last through March! That is if I eat only one…

I can now wear my winter coat I bought 3 years ago before my daughter was born! Yeah!

Lost weight even during Thanksgiving!
I've been working on losing weight since February this year. A couple of times I stopped logging, once because I was ill and once because I wanted to see if I could lose without logging all the time. Long story short, the answer is NO I cannot! So back to MyFitnessPal I came. I started back right at the beginning of…

Eating BMR
So, I was recently reading in the answers to all your questions link and read that you should eat at least your BMR. Well, after putting my information into MFP, it told me to eat 1200 calories, but the MFP BMR calculator says my BMR is 1735. Should I then eat at least 1735 to keep from entering into starvation mode? And I…

Want to run...but shin splints
I have a history of getting shin splints even from an early age. I remember my first shin splints in elementary school (and I was not over weight then). I also was diagnosed with aerobic induced asthmatic cough when I was in middle school. Needless to say, I haven't run in a very long time. I've recently been thinking…

NSV
I must be doing something right. Four weeks into using MFP and 5 days into 30DS, I am feeling great. I have not had a day yet where I couldn't say no to some food (even if it was my favorite) if it was not planned into my day. I don't feel tired by 2:00pm anymore, and I was able to just jump right out of bed this morning…

Days Logged In ticker
Anyone else think MFP should come up with a "days logged in" ticker? They have the weight loss banner, but wouldn't it be motivating to have a ticker that keeps a running total of consecutive logins. I know they let you know by a message every 5 days, but I think a ticker on your page would be great!

GIRLS ONLY - Monthly weight question.
DISCLAIMER - This is not a question boys/men need to read but if you aren't queasy, feel free to read. Ladies - Does anyone else have the problem of putting on 1-2 lbs. at "that time of the month?" Is this pretty much normal? I got on the scale this morning and was up 1.5 lbs. from yesterday and I know I didn't over eat,…

About the allotted sugar intake for the day.
Is it just me or is the allotted sugar intake for the day (for me it is 30 g.) a little unrealistic? I mean, I have one medium apple and that alone is half my sugar intake. If I eat fruit twice, do I have to eat all protein the rest of the day? What is with that. Anyone else go over their allotted sugar intake eating…

NSV? What is that?
Could someone explain the NSV included in many of the posts' titles? Thanks.

One more time...hopefully the last!
I have been on a roller coaster of ups and downs with my weight pretty much since I was 13. I've seriously worked at loosing weight only twice before. The first time with no help and lost some, the second time with Weight Watchers (expensive!!!) and lost 80lbs. Then I got married and had a baby and...gained weight again!!!…
