Accountability Buddies - Yay or Nay
Hello MFP! I was thinking about this while I was reading through a bunch of posts of people asking for accountability buddies, and I asked myself is it a good idea to rely on someone else to keep you accountable to your goals? My own opinion is no, it’s not, you have to keep yourself accountable. It’s not someone else’s…

Every morning at the Gym I drink a Red Bull while working out. I always get weird looks, and I am pretty sure that some people are judging me for it, but that's how I do lol. What are some different things you do that you know other people are silently judging you for?

Living Life even though I am not at goal weight
Hi Everyone, I wanted to start this thread because I see a lot of posts about things like What will you do when you lose x, or waiting to buy new clothes until I am goal, or similar things. I used to think like that. I said I will go on vacation when I get to a certain weight, or I will get a tattoo when I get to my goal,…

Do you eat more calories
Hello, I have been with MFP for a few years. I lost 60lbs using the IIFYM methodology and counting calories. However, I have stalled, so I have transitioned into a LCHF diet. So far I really like it, but I do miss sweets :smile: I have found that Russel Stovers has some pretty good sugar free chocolates with low net carbs…

Eating More when Lifting
Hello Everyone, I would like to ask for some advice. I do 5x5 Strong Lifts, and I am wondering what would you consider a safe amount of calories to add back into my day. Right now my goal is to lose.
