This. And, have you actually tried the extra amenities for the extra $10? I had a PF black card and only ever used it about 5 times to bring a friend. The rest of the time it was basically a waste of an extra $10. I went for the treadmills and some of the weight machines until I got more involved with wanting weight…

I switched. WW works for a LOT of people, so I won't say it doesn't work, but it didn't work for me. I actually gained weight on WW. For some reason it is easier for me to keep track of/see actual calories and nutrients of food than it is to keep track of "points". Once I had spent a good amount of time trying to work the…

It looks like you are doing just fine, and if you keep eating at a calorie deficit you will see the weight drop. Keep eating at a deficit and tracking your food correctly, keep exercising because it is good for your heart and body, and after a month or two you will start seeing an average weight loss trend. Also take…

This is a valid point.

Yep I've done it. I liked it, but had a hard time motivating myself to do it. I'll probably pull out the DVD's again if I ever get into a situation where I can't go to the gym.

So this reminds me...I read an article and I didn't have time to fact check it so I don't really understand but it said that your *actual* carbs are Carbs minus dietary fiber. Does anyone know if this is true?

It looks pretty, but everytime they come out with a new one, I'm afraid that they'll discontinue the Flex, which I can wear all the time - even in the shower or pool - and not even have to think about it. You would have to take the Alta off before showering, right?

Yes for some reason I didn't make the connection. It was packaged like a regular candy bar so I was expecting something else. Bluk. I can still taste it. lol

I agree with this. I had "bad" food last night. It was a bite of a 100% Cacao Chocolate bar that looked like it would be a yummy candy bar, but tasted like ... just, it was gross. Bluk. Bad.

Benadryl helps!

This is great. Great attitude I'm excited for you. For the record, my 3 C's are Champagne, Chocolate, and Cigars ;)

Holy crap that's a big change in obesity percentage in a matter of 10 years!

While losing weight mine were at 50/25/25 or 50/30/20 (Fat/Protein/Carbs) At maintenance I have them set at 40/30/30 I use that as a general guideline. I generally just check to see how I did at the end of the day.

*snort damnyouautocorrect!

Then maybe try to just stick to the calories that MFP gives you for eating at a deficit, and eat what isn't annoying but does fulfill your daily nutrition requirements?

My doctor put me on Paleo to lose weight. I did. 60 pounds. I still eat that way, but only because it works for me and I enjoy it. It isn't for everyone, and it isn't the only way to lose weight. It worked for me along with MFP because even though Paleo discourages calorie-counting, not all of us are adept at self-control,…

...wait that's a symptom?? On your hands and feet or just in general? (it happens to my hands and feet when it happens - I just thought it was a new food allergy)

Yes. Both. Annoying. lol

I use the 50-30-20 at maintenance and it works well. I did 50-25-25 during my weight loss part. I have been Paleo since September 2014.

So are you saying that you have "only" lost 2-4 pounds in the 4 weeks since January 26th? That's pretty good, and sounds about right, considering your activity level. That's .5-1 pound per week, give or take some water weight.

Who says tofu is healthier than tenderloin??? :D

Great idea! Kind of like the age-old trick of adding shredded zucchini and/or carrots to muffins or brownies to get kids to eat their veggies lol

In that it significantly reduced the amount of calories I was consuming - yes. But now if I have eaten right during the day I can afford a glass or two of wine or a cocktail or something.

We seriously need DDR to come up with new disks. Unless someone knows something different, ever since Wii U was introduced, they have discontinued DDR and I'm getting tired of the same old music (and I have all of the disks). Let's start a petition!! LOL

I use the Wii for Dance Dance Revolution, Just Dance, Zumba, etc. The controllers work with the console as you move. It's a great fun workout when you want to change things up a bit.

This sounds like a normal weight loss progression for someone who doesn't have a ton of weight to lose. And, it is hard to say in just 5 weeks that you are losing slowly. You could weigh tomorrow and be down another pound. Have you been taking your body measurements, in case by all of your exercise you are losing fat but…

I just looked it up. I haven't really heard of it until now, and I'm still not sure I understand what it is, unless it is just IF?

Me too!! LOL

Wow! That sucks! I just googled it because I had never heard of it, and found this: http://paleoleap.com/visual-guide-histamine-intolerance/ I am so sorry that you have to experience that!
