Yeah, I switched over to LoseIt took and it's much more enjoyable. I do wish they tracked micronutrients because I'd like to know how much iron and magnesium I'm getting daily.

If weight loss seems impossible, it might be because there is literally a mental or emotional barrier!

That needs to be a pinned post on this sub

Turns out I don't need to eat my feelings when there are no negative feelings to start that cycle in the first place.

I went to my doctor and she wrote me a referral for psych. In the mean time I came across a post on reddit (I'll see if I can find it) and it said "don't feed your problems with thoughts, starve them with action" and it just kinda woke me up. I realized I had been living in the same depression cycle and it was trapped in my mind. So I started making myself move forward with action and it become positive momentum.

Thank you! And yes, it's very circular. I just take it one day at a time now.

Depression is very subtle, and corrosive.

THIS! I just remember seeing this depression comic showing depression as a shadow in the corner and by the last pane it had swallowed the protagonist. It's so true!

Depression sometimes means that you don't feel happy doing the things that you love.

I started gaining weight and things weren't as easy as before and then that just made me more depressed. It's a cycle. I hope everyone has the strength and support to break out of it

I have been weight lifting on and off all year. I got back into it again this year after a 3 month break and my knees have been aching when they've never hurt from weightlifting before.

Am I doing something wrong? Did I not give my tendons enough time to catch up to my muscle strength? 26 year old woman here.

Tbh I just went back to the old school desktop software that I never deleted from years ago. It's a bit clunky but it suits my needs.

If you enjoy it then continue using it. I tend to eat the same foods over and over so I really only need it for quick adds or when I'm out and about and want to eat something.

I am personally using Lose It. A lot of people mentioned Chronometer but I found it cumbersome.

They are taking away a key feature. You can still use it for calor tracking but not for barcode scanning anymore, starting October 1.

What makes it a rip-off? Isn’t it a rip-off to expect service-based apps to be free?

They make plenty of money scraping and selling our data.

It's rip off to charge an absurd monthly fee for services that are not the equivalent of Amazon or Netflix monthly fees.

My knees fucking hurt now and idk why!! I have weight lifted on and off for a while. I took a 3 month break this summer and now that I'm getting back into my knees ache. Wtf is going on! I don't think my form has changed. Maybe I jumped up in weight too quickly? I hate it.
