I'm 5'10" and currently 168. I was down to 158 and unfortunately gained some back. My original goal was 145 but I don't know that I could happily maintain that. I would be happy (and pretty thin looking) at between 150-160.

That wouldn't satisfy me either. Not enough substance or heft there. I need to have that feeling of having just eaten. That's why I can't do protein shakes or any of the meal replacement type of drinks. I've been working out extra this week and find myself craving lots of bread and carb heavy stuff. Wish me luck and…

You know what I don't get about popcorn? Why it has a calorie count for it in the unpopped state. Who is eating unpopped popcorn?

I think vodka and diet coke is as low cal as you can get (and delicious btw. My drink of choice).

I read an article about it just last week. Makes girls feel safe or like they can eat pizza or something. Congratulations on your new addition! Good luck to you!

If you have your fitbit set up to sync with MFP you should not add your jog into MFP. However, if you do a non step based exercise such as bicycling, you would want to add it. It will have you add a time frame for that exercise so that it takes the 'steps' logged during that timeframe into account.

I've heard dad bodies are the new 'in' thing.

Welcome back! Kill it!

I have the Charge HR and before that the flex. When I need to I will wrap it around my belt loop or the middle of my bra. I imagine your pocket would work.

I have the FitBit Charge HR and I do not have a smart phone. I just sync it at home with my laptop.

Different. I have to like my food. Otherwise I figure it isn't worth the calories...even if it is low in calories.

I've lost about 60 pounds but these last two weeks have been like that for me. I only have 9 pounds left to go (or that was the last time I checked anyways. May be more now.) I'm losing my motivation a bit and need to get back to it!!

I bought the Charge HR to replace my flex even though nothing was wrong with it. I regret spending the $150 when my flex was working fine. I don't like the way the Charge feels on my wrist, and my stair counts are constantly off. I think walking outside on a windy day is making it count extra stairs or something. I would…

Godiva 72% bar. Only 60 calories per square.

Welcome and good luck to you! Friend request sent!

What a great story! Good job!

Welcome and good luck! You got this!!

You did not undo everything in just one day. The scale may have went up due to water retention from increased sodium, but it should level back out to where you were within a couple days.

Thank you all for the input. You are right, I shouldn't worry about the shopping carts. I don't do that enough to worry about the difference. Now that it is nice out again the majority of my exercise is outside walking where I am pushing a stroller, but as you said, it is pretty casual and I can just use the calorie burn…

I either loop my flex around a belt loop or wear it on my bra.

MFP and Fitbit have had issues syncing for months. Mine hasn't worked properly since the beginning of the year. Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting them does the trick, but not always.

5'10", currently 160 but goal is 150.

I'm with those who save a big portion for dinner. I like a big dinner and usually a dessert. Sometimes even an evening snack. I sometimes even have two mini dinners because my husband typically works late so I will have a small one when I would normally eat dinner, and then another small one with him when he is home.

From reading this post I just realized I actually match my weight too. Haha. That's awesome. Mine says 160 and I just lost 56 pounds.

I almost always have to work out after dinner. It's been no issue for me, unless it was a big or heavy dinner then I get a little sick if I push too hard.

I have a seperate section in the fridge that is just for my food. That is because I portion all my food out so it is easy to grab when I need it and it frustrates the heck out of me to suddenly realize all my string cheese or spinach or whatever is gone. I also do usually make seperate meals for my husband and kids while I…

Realized my weight actually matches what it says on my drivers license!

In MFP, the website, if you click on Apps, you can select FitBit from there and it will walk you through the steps of syncing them. Or in FitBit if you click the gear icon and then go to settings you can join them from there. Just to warn you though, lately I have had issues with it syncing and have to disconnect and…

Yes and it is frustrating the heck out of me. I've had this problem for a month or so now. Disconnected and reconnecting the two usually does the trick. Three days this week now I just have no adjustment because it just didn't work or it was too much of a pain to have to disconnect and reconnect AGAIN. Hope it gets fixed…

This is what I took out to make tonight! I will be watching this thread for ideas as well!
