Is this something new? When I initially started loosing weight; I was being too aggressive and my cals were too low. I developed a problem sleeping. I was at or sometimes way under 1000 cals. I got myself back to a steady 1200 cals and problem disappeared. Probably not your issue; but just mentioning it just in case.....

[/quote]That's how bra sizing works. [/quote] Oops, speed reading....and I don't wear them anyway. It's a green thing. And... a waste of time.

I'll take some of your boobs. Mail them to me. Thank you. Mine are mostly all gone. :{ Whaaa!!!!

How is this cheating?

The recipe makes 8 patties. It doesn't say how large. There's only 2 of us and no one is really a fan of mayo. We don't have mayo (shocking!) and I have heard there is a way to work around it. My mission has been to reduce the amount of condiments we have, and to eliminate the array of boxed foods in the pantry. So, my…

Thanks again for the further input. The more I thought about it: I was concerned with replacing the entire mayo entry with greek yogurt and was thinking of increasing the egg. I did Google more recipes with 'mayo-free' in the search. At best, one recipe had 2 tsp or tbsp... not much. I think refrigerating is also a good…

Thanks for all of the replies. On the olive oil; I wasn't sure on purpose of mayo - and would be happy NOT to add it in. Greek yogurt it is. Thanks guys! :)

If you would like the most accurate detail in terms of *calories*; use a chest heart rate strap and use the app that comes with it to calculate your calories. I do have 2 HRMs, and for the sake of comparison this week; I have been wearing them both. (And....I have a home gym - so I can keep a lid on how silly it looks.)…

Google.

Better to be safe and choose sedentary. Then, log your exercises in MFP. Ideally; you should record your workout calories using data from a HRM and an associated app. :}

When on the rowing machine: are you using a heart rate monitor and a corresponding app that tells you how many calories *you* have burned?

I had to do a chocolate exorcism. Translated: I received a box of assorted chocolates without a clear calorie assignment. Open box..... try to figure out what you're allowed per serving. Mistake, bring the box with you.... while reading MFP community entries. CRAP! More dead soldiers in a short amount of time. And the…

Thanks for the answer. I checked again today. The picture is the Apple Health app's 'steps' dashboard data; 'showing all data'. It's odd how Sync Solver works. I received the phone on Mon-the 26th. There is no phone step data until the 28th. So, I will check tomorrow. I would think the Sync Solver would vaporize data…

Thanks! Your note is helpful on the cook time. I looked this up online too, as I have a box of Aunt Jemima that I was contemplating trying something similar. :smile:

These sound awesome. Do you eat them straight up?

Thanks to all for the suggestions of limiting the rice flour. I think that will work. I've never run into European recipes until today; but very convenient that grams are used! Thanks much!

Thanks- yes, thanks my concern about the rice flour. I'm not saying all purpose flour is off the table. I didn't post a pic of my pantry or elaborate on the rest of the flour types we have. Had I; you would have agreed that holding off for a month might be the way to go. :)

You're cherry picking my quotes. I appreciate your perspective; I note that it's a tough call on how what food choices to have on hand. I've never requested that any foods 'not' be in the house. My husband and I are very in tune with each others needs. I was tired of my body image. I've lost 14 lbs since Dec 2014, at the…

Was that his only option of foods to bring home? He could just enjoy one or two where he purchased them. In my own weight loss journey; I definitely have been faced with making the proper decisions; and I've budgeted in my Fannie May and sparkling wine - while still losing weight. But, if my husband came home with a box of…

Did you advise your husband you are on a diet? If so; not very supportive that he brought a high calorie temptation home in the first place.

No way! Try a 'skinny margarita'. Chili's has an awesome one for 110 cals, usually other places are around the same amount of cals. I budget it in my calorie allowance. :}

I haven gotten any weird high readings, I have a Wahoo & a Polar HRM. I occasionally get random lows (I use the Wahoo HRM most of the time.) I reposition it and those stop. Its about a month old, and it started taking a while for it to pair; so I changed the battery not knowing how long it was in the HRM before I received.…

Before you make the decision to purchase one way or the other; what types of exercise and/or equipment will you be using? I am using a Treadmill, Stepper & a Rower. I have a Fitbit One. Because this exercise must be difficult for the Fitbit to sort out; my totals are all over the place. Off by many thousands doing the same…

Also- it's important to look up the machine (on the internet) and adjust for your weight. I use three machines: Treadmill (11.5% incline @3.4 mph) machine says 555 for ~40 minutes Stairmaster Stepper (this one asks me for my weight) 140 cals for 20 minutes Rower (5000 meter program) 253 calories for ~30 minutes Taken at…

With all the things that some one can spend a lot of money for; I'm surprised there isnt pre-measured packets of salt (sodium). Measured down to the gnat's butt. I just started monitoring my food in early December. The calories werent so much a problem to achieve a goal as the damned salt. Actually; when I first started -…

Welcome to MFP!

I bought a Wahoo Tickr X in mid Dec. I also just bought a Polar H7, for my husband - who hasnt used it yet. I really like the Wahoo. Here's my comparison: When it arrived: Wahoo: Very little instruction, but very easy to get going. Polar: A bit more info, no problems to setup & pair. Straps: Wahoo-wins. You connect it by…
