I think a bunch of people complained about them following the rules and didn't like them so they decided to get rid of them since their stated rule was only MFP tickers. I think it stinks.
I forgot to add that many people are upset, like me, because they didn't make any formal announcement so no one knew it was going to happen unless they caught it in a random thread.0 -
Ok so today I'm not a happy camper. I've been working out really good this week so far and not eating junk and today I went up .2lbs. Granted that's not much but yesterday I went down a whole pound and then today I go up. I don't get it. The only thing I can think of is that I'm not eating enough calories and have real trouble eating my regular 1200 much less any exercise calories. I eat sensible and try to balance my groups as well as avoid the junk but then I end up not finishing my calories. I have a hard time finding snacks that aren't just mainly carbs which I have experience with keeping me from losing weight especially if I eat too many for snacks. I have lost .5 inch in my upper waist and .5 in my waist which only makes me more frustrated that I'm not losing weight. I hope it's just muscle gain but I think my diet may have something to do with it. Ugh, I'm just frustrated.0

update!!
lost another pound!!! down to 173.5--that is 15 total pounds...will stay focused on 1 to 1.5 pounds loss per week and NOT losing too fast and therefore losing muscle.
working on eating almost all my exercise calories. doing at least 45 min of cardio PLUS jillian's SHRED daily.
sleeping 8 hours, eating 4 to 6 veggie portions per day.174.5 (down half a pound)
worked out 45 minutes every morning AND added nightly shred video...AND did a 10k race on Saturday
BUT this was my highest calorie week since i started MFP and i was over goal like half of the week so i am grateful for losing at all.
this coming week the goal is 1.5 or more pounds down
lets stay totally focused EVERYONE!
nonscale victory: ran the 10K... cut about 30 seconds off of my average pace AND was ahead of my super fit size 4 gal-pal at the end!0 -
I finally found the link. So my new weight is 162. I finally lost. I don't know if any of you guys have noticed this... but im always cold, and when I get cold its hard to warm up.0

As frustrating as it is to see a gain, just remember that it's impossible for the numbers to go down every single day because weight fluctuates. In my experience, .2 lbs could be nothing. I could step back on the scale 5 minutes later & it would be down .2. I could use the restroom & lose .2 lbs! So try not to get discouraged!Ok so today I'm not a happy camper.

Well yesterday was my be bad day because I just did what I wanted and I didn't workout. So obviously I went up today again. But today was a new day and I've been good with food and I did all my exercises. I'm in a better mood today too so that's helped. I hope to see some loss tomorrow but I really hope to see something good at weigh-in this week.0

I had a really good workout last night. But the scale didn't like it enough. I gained 2lbs. Im wondering if its because I didn't drink enough water this week ......0

Re-Post:
REALLY SUPER IMPORTANT
Here is the link to the Google spread sheet! YAYYY. Sorry this is so late, but hey.. better late then never. You are all more then welcome to go in and change your weight loss. This will be MUCH easier to keep track of. I still want to see the weigh-ins and whatnot on the thread, but at least you will be able to see how everyone else is doing, and correct any weigh-losses that I might have missed. No sign-in required. Please only change your own.

I know that your weight can go up a bit from doing intense workouts because you're muscles will retain water. However, can it be so bad that you gain 2lbs in water weight? I did awesome yesterday and worked out but went up today another pound so now I'm up 2lbs. I don't remember it being this bad before but this time I'm doing the Ripped in 30 and my weight has not liked it. Ugh, I hope the scale looks better tomorrow or there will be no hope for Sunday.0
