165 days on MFP, down 60 pounds with progress pictures.
I downloaded the My Fitness Pal app on my phone in February of 2011 and never even signed on once until a doctor's appointment in October 2011 made me realize that although I had Hashimoto's disease and yes it had made me gain weight, that I was using it as a crutch. I was using it to justify my lack of physical activity…

Asparagus rubber band and other weird things we use to "tail
This morning as in every morning since I started this weight loss journey it was a little tough to get dressed...I lose as much as a pant size some months so purchasing new clothing that fits would prove to be VERY expensive and wasteful.

Am I eating enough?
Since October I've lost 54 lbs, the past month I have plateaued. My weight loss has slowed and I read in the forums that it could be due to not eating enough calories...I eat my workout calories back but I have my regular day set at 1200 calories, I'm think going to try this method for a bit and see how it works! Seems…

A work in progress...50 lbs down with photos!
I joined My Fitness Pal in February of 2011 at the recommendation of a friend and never logged on again until the following October.

Question on McD's salads
Today for lunch I had a Bacon Ranch Chicken salad from McD's, even though the salad from McD's was made with grilled chicken (not crispy) totaled out at 430 calories and 21g of carbs I still feel gross after eating it... :/ Anyone else have an issue with salads from McD's? Is it not as good as I thought it might be? I've…
