Noom to MyFitnessPal
Has anyone made the switch from being successful on Noom to here? I lost 25 pounds on Noom last year. I had a week long vacation and am feeling a few pounds creep back on - slippery slope. I need to r…

Calories in/Calories out vs. low carb
Everyone around me tells me that ultra low carb is the way to go. I'd love to hear success stories of people who counted calories - enjoying the foods you love in moderation. I need to get past this m…

Bad picture
I suppose the camera doesn't lie. We had head shots taken at work and after seeing them I asked that they not be posted. I am at the re-beginning of my journey. At least I have a solid before pic ;)

Calories in. Calories out
I am finally trying to eat in a way that works best for me! I'm ignoring the paleo pushers, the low/no carb crazies, and eating less of what I love. I had a McDonald's cheeseburger happy meal for lunc…

Gained this week :(
I lost 2.4 the first week and gained 1.2 this week. I've been doing the same things I did last week with the exception of one day of weights, after a long hiatus. Should I hold off on weight training …

How many calories am I burning
I know we can't trust mfp's database of calories burned through exercise. So how do you guess? I have a heart rate monitor but I've been told those aren't very precise either. So far, I've been taking…

Mini binge
I ate a total of 5 packaged Rice Krispie treats (450 calories), and the only reason I stopped there was because that's all I had. Instead of beating myself up I'm going to a) work it into my calories …

Meal delivery service (cook at home)
