looking for friends/motivation buddies
Hi all, I have come to the sudden realisation that I can't just keep eating myself happy and need to make a long term commitment to myself to become healthy. I'm currently in the process of making some lifestyle changes and would really like some active MFP buddies to keep me motivated along my weight loss journey. :smile:

How do you stay on track?
I seem to do well for say 6 months, lose my steam and then revert back to my old ways. I'm sick of playing this yo-yo game. :explode: There are a few things *short term* that help me, such as logging my food, hiring a PT, making friends who also are trying to eat healthy, etc. So, I just wanted to pick your brains about…

False hunger - does it disappear?
Hi all, Before doing MFP I also had "false hunger" problems, I'd eat a meal 30 minutes later I'm back to being starving again. I've been checked medically, nothing is wrong physically.

Vitamin A - too much???
Hi guys, I'm doing quite well in regards to adjusting to eating differently, but some days I'm noticing I'm going WELL over my vitamin A intake for the day, some days over 300% or sometimes a lot more than that! I'm really enjoying fresh vegetables and salad right now. Anyway, so my question is how much vitamin A is too…
