How to respond to friend
As someone who has lost a lot of weight (100+), I got a lot of questions from friends & acquaintances at first. Most of them just blew me off when I told them it was calorie counting on MFP. I have never been one to push the subject and don't bring up these topics often, in fact I almost NEVER bring it up and don't say…

Style/Clothing changes since losing weight
Have you found that your wardrobe has changed a lot since losing weight? Do you wear different types of clothing, or find different styles more (or less) flattering than in the past? I have definitely found this to be the case for me. Some of my go-to styles do not work for me anymore. For years, I was a big fan of…

Getting Closer to Goal and Changing MFP settings
I want to know if anyone else has changed their MFP settings as they get closer to their goal. I started losing weight at 307 lb back in 2008. I lost 45 lb over several years by eating a bit less and walking a ton. March 25, 2013 I joined MFP. I have lost 71 lb in the past year by counting calories, and keeping up a good…

Legging recommendations (ladies)
I came here awhile ago asking for underwear recommendations when my Cacique panties got too big for me, and the Victoria's Secret recommendations were DEAD ON...thank you ladies! Now I want to know where you get leggings. I'm not talking about athletic compression-style leggings, I am all set in that realm. But cute,…

What was your most recent clothing NSV?
Share your most recent clothing-related NSV here! Here is mine. I bought a plain black long sleeve top on the cheap a little over 2 years ago, it was an XL (not plus) so WAYYYY too tight to wear alone and clung to every bulge. I was in 2X-3X at that time and it's not a loose cut top at all. I got it just so I'd have…

What was the most FUN job you have had?
I don't mean the *BEST* job, highest salary, most interesting, challenging, etc. But which job have you had that was the most FUN on a daily basis? Mine was working at a bread store weirdly (over a decade ago). I loved it because it was quite small and not that busy, and my boss and coworker were both very hard workers so…

Smaller version of Cacique (Lane Bryant) panties?
Ladies! I need some underwear recommendations! Sexy bikinis and boyshorts are great...but this post is more about utilitarian underwear. For over a decade I have been a huge fan of Cacique (Lane Bryant) full coverage cotton briefs. Some may call them granny panties...but I like them! I usually buy them in black, red, blue,…

New Clothes, New You? Or Not
Have you found yourself changing style much since losing weight? For some people it seems like they totally transform into a different person with dramatic losses. Others may keep the same style. I find that some of the fashions that worked best for me in a larger size no longer flatter, and different clothes seem to suit…

Work week lunches
What do you do for lunch during the work week? (applies whether you work outside the home or not) I am able to go home for lunch since I just have a 2 mile commute. I usually make something quick at home. Today it's lobster nachos = 2 oz of Kanimi Lobster Smart, 12 tortilla triangle chips, sprinkling of cheddar-jack,…

Anyone else whose goal is still not a "healthy weight"?
My highest-ever weight is 307 (in 2008). I got down to 272 by exercising alone, and then changed my diet pretty dramatically in 2012 and lost only 10 lb. So back in March 2013, I started MFP at 262 and now I'm at 225. It's been a steady loss. I've lost several clothing sizes and inches, and I am happy with where I am…

Dealing with people on fad diets
I seem to have a lot of friends, coworkers, and acquaintances who are using various popular "fad diets". I won't name any of them because I know they're probably popular with some MFP members, too. Whenever they notice my weight loss they always ask how I've done it and when I mention this site, they often scoff at it or…

Rarely hungry
I have noticed that I am rarely hungry. I am the type of person who has always eaten 3 meals a day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. No snacks ever. I know a lot of people prefer to eat 4-6 mini meals instead of 3 larger ones. I've tried this and it didn't make any difference to me but was extremely inconvenient. So for now I…
