  • A few years ago, I was looking at Subway for lunch. They had some new sandwiches that looked good so I wanted to see what the nutrition would be on the calculator. I chose one of the flavors and all my fave toppings and was happily surprised to see it was only around 300 calories! That’s when I realized that I was looking…
  • I just started this program as well. I also love how easy the program is to follow. I feel like I’m on the right track using it, especially with the weight increases built in.
  • Mine isn’t syncing either.
  • It's working again!

  • I really hate when this happens. I’ve come to rely on my steps syncing to know how much I can eat. I prelog my days and use whatever bonus I get from exercise to snack more. But with no steps (my main form of exercise) transferring, it’s hard to know how much more I can eat. Plus, I use the calories over the week to…

  • I believe that! I was so completely starving when I got home that day that I made dinner right away. I didn’t log anything in addition to my steps. It looked like I got about 10k just from snowshoeing, so I ended up with a ton of “extra” calories. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the couch before I could eat them all,…
  • Yeah, I had that feeling. Thanks! Definitely not waist deep. There’s a big snowstorm right now and I was out in it, but I was following a snowed over paved trail.
  • Lol, mine just appeared! Must have known I posted.
  • My steps aren’t syncing either.
  • Thank you both for your replies. Good points, that limit doesn't mean eliminate and as long as my diet is varied (and it is), dairy is OK.
  • I agree with this chart, and I've seen it before. But I do have to ask: why does it say to limit milk? Is it the fat? I drink 1 or 2 8 oz. glasses of skim milk a day and I've lost nearly 50 pounds. Course, it also says to limit cheese. Is there something wrong with dairy? It would take a thousand packs of wild dogs to get…
  • I don't have an annoyance to share, but I do wanna ask a question. To those that said they don't like people trying to talk to them when they have headphones on, what if someone is trying to ask you if they can work in while you're resting between sets? I totally understand the "jarred out of my zone/headphones mean don't…
  • Inspired by this, I just picked up a box of this tea. Having a cup now, and wow is it ever awesome! It tastes just like a warm sugar cookie and the smell...just yum. I also picked up some Bigelow Mint Peppermint Bark and Ginger Snappish tea. Also yum.
  • Female, 33 5'5" SW: 185 CW: 140 GW range: 135-140 My goal weight range has changed every 10 pounds or so, LOL. I hit 138 a few days ago, and I loved how I looked. I was thinking of maintaining in a 130-135 range, but when I saw myself at 138, I worried that going too much lower would make me look too skinny and boney. So…
  • After reading about Halo Top all this time, I finally saw it at my local Lund's. It was $5.59/pint, so I was hesitant. But yesterday it was on sale for $3.60/pint, so I grabbed one. Trouble is that the selection was very picked over and only 4 flavors were available. I bought Lemon Cake and just finished my first taste.…
  • Thanks for the recipe link! Looks delicious, I need to make this soon.
  • I'm 5'5".5 SW: 185 CW: 141 GW: 135
  • Yes, thank you, I have that in mind. Sorry, my post wasn't clear on that point. When I say "aiming for 135" I mean that 135 should be the highest I go. With that in mind, I was thinking of losing until I reach a lower point (like 132 or so) so that my weight can fluctuate a bit, but 135 would be the high point. I agree…
  • Wow, thank you for all the helpful replies! I had a feeling it sounded fishy. I did some googling myself and found similar replies to what you all wrote. And like Return2Fit said, right after he said I should take capsules and 2/day, he mentioned that the gym is having a big sale on a 3 month supply of their brand of…
  • My goal is 15k, but I hit 12k pretty easily. Feel free to add me.
  • 5'5.5" and I'm 33 years old. I was up to about 185 lbs. when I started losing weight, now I'm down to 144. I'm aiming for 135, but these last few pounds are taking their sweet old time coming off! I started lifting about a month ago, so I'm hoping that will help me lose the last few pounds and some body fat too.
  • Right now (the winter coming up will change this): On M,W,F: Get up at 4:20amish; bathroom, morning weigh in, get ready By 4:40: walk to gym 5:00-6:00: work out, walk back home 6:00-7:00: eat breakfast, get ready for work 7:00-7:45: bus ride to work 8:00-6:00: work. I have an hour lunch break, so I get in a long walk.…
  • I'm 33, from Saint Paul, Minnesota. I've been on the MFP journey for a couple years now, since 2014, kinda off and on. But ever since this past winter, I've been logging and more committed to being active every day. I just started strength training in late June, so about a month ago. I'd been doing strictly cardio up to…

  • I, too, love Fitness Blender! I love that I can get a good workout in my own living room with no equipment.
