Dopamine Fasting
I came across an article written about this guy’s experience with Dopamine Fasting, a term I had never heard before. It’s a pretty straightforward explanation of what he does to achieve results. It would be interesting to apply it in a way that would be ideal for each individual person, and I’m contemplating what that…

Relationship Compatibility
A little background information- I’m a Caucasian, blonde, blue eyed female, American. My husband is Asian, has dark features, about my height, close to my weight, and his family fled the Khmer Rouge (he is 1st generation American). We are both in our early 30’s. In another thread it was commented that marrying your race…

So I’m a Jerk
🤦🏼♀️ MFP told me so, those exact words. It was regarding a comment that I genuinely meant no harm or disrespect, like a scenario where you mispronounce something wrong your whole life and someone finally tells you the correct way. I wouldn’t consider that person a jerk for informing me. I even stated that I hope it…

Valentine’s Day
Is 3 weeks away tomorrow. Kind of a nice mini goal range to keep the momentum going! Just thought I’d plant that seed 😊

What do you do?
Just curious, what do you do for a living? This has always been a point of fascination with me, seeing as we spend more time at work than anywhere typically. How has it impacted your goals regarding diet and fitness? What have you done to overcome any challenges?

MFP Article Supporting Starvation Mode
Why does MFP publish these articles on their main page? Isn’t it counter intuitive? No wonder we can’t shed these myths when even MFP is supporting misinformation. I shouldn’t be surprised but I am 😣. This false belief caused me anguish for a decade. It would be nice to prevent it from happening to someone else in the…

Science of weight loss and menopause
Does anyone have a link to a thread that covers this really well? Or an article that dumbs it down and explains weight loss is still possible? Thanks in advance!!

Not eating = No appetite?
I’m curious what your experience is when it comes to hunger and losing weight. I find the more I lose, and the smaller I get, I have very little to no appetite: The less I eat, the smaller I get, the less I want to eat. The more I eat, the more I weigh, the hungrier I am. Does this make sense? Why does it seem like this is…

Lost Twins- what next
I suppose focus on my health, do something that makes me feel good, strong, proud? What do you do when you break down? At this point I feel like I can take the road of self sabotage or self improvement... but my mind is so anxious I feel I must do something. And I don’t want to hurt anymore. How do you best move on from…

Buddhist here...
Looking for anyone of any faith (or no faith) for science based, fact driven tips on weight loss. My favorite- seeing how very little our metabolisms vary! Wow, was that a reality check! And also, how little exercise plays a role on weight loss compared to diet, carbs aren't the enemy, and starvation mode is a myth- it…

The last 10 Pounds Challenge
I am on the final stretch. 10 lbs to go! Anyone else on the last 10 lbs to their ultimate goal? It can be tricky because we are so close and yet it’s the time to tighten up activity and logging the most. I’ll be checking in here daily, but posting weight weekly until I make it, hopefully in T-10 weeks. Let me know if you…

Recomp only option?
I’m out of the gym routine, and nearly at my goal weight. This is when I can really see how important recomping is. I can weigh 125 but it really doesn’t mean much if I’m “skinny fat”... (not a huge fan of that word). I’ve had moments where the gym was routine and fun, and now the idea of it exhausts me. I wish that diet…

Pic of Trend Weight Results
For the past year+ I’ve been gaining and losing the same lbs because of fluctuations, getting frustrated, and getting back on tack- over and over. I finally tried a trend app as a method of reading my weight instead of the actual number. I haven’t felt that helplessness since. When I look at this calendar of weigh ins, I…

Happy Scale- Trending Weight
I remember when using a food scale rocked my world. It's amazing what results you get when you're forced to be honest with yourself. This was my next mind blown tool. Of course I knew what trending weight meant. Never used it though. Would just log daily, and because my weight would ping pong everyday due to sodium, food…

21 days 2 shakes a day, Apr 18- May 9
With traveling, holiday, family and friend functions, I need to reset. For the next 21 days I'm having 2 shakes a day, and a sensible meal. I feel like it will be just as much of a mental relief as a physical one. Anyone interested in a 21 day reboot? I'm also using this weigh in template that someone else shared, if…

Are the calculators right? Or am I an alien?
All the calculators have different BMR and TDEE suggestions. Some have me as low as 1200cals others at 1500 to lose weight. I've been logging my macros for a month, and calories for much longer. Have lost nothing, if anything I go up and back to normal never lose. At 1200 I end up binging eventually. I'm trying to do it…
