To celebrate my loss, I'm giving myself a fitness membership
So, as you can see on my ticker, I'm very soon at 50lbs loss, and after that comes 25kg loss, and then I'm finally under 200lbs, and then I'll soon be out of obesity, all within less than 8lbs from now - yay! To celebrate (and help me get the next 50lbs!) I'm going to sign up for a gym! I bicycle to and from uni (about…

Am I the only one who HATES comments on my loss?
I can't stand when people comment on my weight loss. Or ask about what I'm eating etc. I can't quite put my finger on why it bothers me so much. I really feel like it's none of their business. I feel embarreshed if they mention my weight, and almost angry if they ask what I'm eating, like I'm being judged or held…

Lentils/beans/seeds etc. with low cal and high protein?
I am looking for things to fill in for pasta, pretty much. I tend to fall behind on my protein, so I don't really want one of the main things on my plate to be low protein! I just went to buy some quinoa for this purpose, but as it was insanely expensive ($15 for a bag the same size as the $1 pasta!), I ended up with some…

Calcium (I want healthy bones!)
I'm trying to not get too much fat - I'm aiming for 30%, but I always seem to get too much, also of the saturated fat. Plus, so few grams of fat eat up so much of my calorie 'allowance'! So, I've cut back on a lot of the fatty foods, and that included a lot of the cheese, youghurt and milk that I used to consume. Though,…

Cooking for a gainer and a loser
I'm cooking for 2 people (mainly just the dinners, though we often pack lunch from leftovers), but we have very different goals - I need to lose a lot of weight, she needs to gain. In the time we've lived together, I've exited the 'morbidly obese' category (and I'm getting close to exiting obese all together), and she has…

"You are eating too little"-warning on MFP
How does it determine what is too little? Is it based on an individual level, taking height, current weight etc. into account, or is it just a certain set of calories that makes that warning pop up?

SCANDINAVIANS! and similars
Hey! I figured it made most sense to get some Scandinavian (or other people from that area - Like northern Germany, Nederlands etc.) friends, as our foods etc. are more similar - I'm seeing all these delicious recipe exchanges, made from things I can't buy here (I'm jealous of all the sugar free, fat free deserts they can…

I was on a winning streak, but then my birthday happened....
I had had a winning streak of super low calories while still being super happy with what I was eating and doing, and I was starting to think that this would be no challenge what so ever, how I would suprise everyone with my weight loss etc. But then, ugh, yesterday, I ate the most calories I have since I started on MFP…

Been on a slow weight loss for a while, ready to accelerate!
Hey! So, I've always been a yoyo-weight, though always in the heavy end - In 2012ish, I got to my heaviest ever - I've always enjoyed healthy food, but around this time, I also gained a taste for binge-drinking, drank more than 2000cal per week in alcohol alone, + all the sugar and carbs of the rest of the drinks and beer,…

beta-carotene vs vitamin A
I made an excel sheet with a more systematic overview of my reports, and nearly fell down my chair when I saw my intake of vitsmin A: it was 3-4 times greater than daily value! Which is past upper limits, and rapidly nearing chronic toxicity levels! But, by looking at the days with the highest levels, I realized that it…
