  • That's a personal choice. Personally I weigh myself 2x a day. I skip here and there, but I like seeing the trend. I'm a bit obsessive though, and I pronanly weigh more than most people. . .
  • Just fat. Have the same issue with my stomach and belly button.
  • Where in settings? I clicked through each one but didn't see that option
  • I figured out the problem. Apparently at some point it reset to maintain weight. I haven't messed with my goals in a couple weeks, so no idea how it happened. I set it back to 1lb a week and my calories went back down to 1,950.

  • Thanks. I've enabled it and I'll try eating a bit more. I've been on a restricted calorie intake, so I'm trying to slowly increase my intake again. Basically I slipped back into old habits, which I know better...

  • Engaged and I refuse to look like an overstuffed sausage in my suit.... What was an unexpected result was that my hands majorly shrunk between the time I was measured to the time I got proposed to.... I went from a 11.5 to a 9.5... Also I want to cosplay at comic con... And like someone else said, chubby cosplay doesn't…
  • My name. Not original.
  • By concentrating on what can be done now. I had 100 lbs to lose, I lost 50 over 4 years, and the last 35 have been thanks to MFP over the last few months. I'm 15 lb from my original goal, but now my goal is shifted and I nowwant to lose about 30 more pounds. Instead of concentrating on my big goal, which cannot be obtained…
  • for what I want, MFP has me at 1600 cal now, the calories have been dropping as I've lost weight. Now I average between 1500-1600 most days. I possibly could eat more, but I save some calories for weekend bc I know that I'll be more likely to go over 1600 on those days. I don't plan on dropping below 1600. 1600 is…
  • I have had the high normal BG and symptoms of insulin resistance (discoloration of joints, primarily around the neck, armpits, and groin). I fixed the problem once, but over a period of years, I slipped up again and gained the weight back. I'm having my blood checked every 3-6 months due to medication (unrelated to…
  • Plan the day before if at all possible. If I know I'm going out for dinner, I try and save about 900 calories for that night.
  • I find cardio a good time to sort out my thoughts and be left alone. There are less people there (in my gym) and I'm less likely to be in the way of someone else's routine. It also feels good to me. In my head there is less pressure, which makes it more enjoyable to wake up and go to the gym 5 days a week. With weight…
  • I'm right there with you. I hate lifting heavy things. It bores me to tears. I rather spend time on the elliptical, treadmill, and that horrid stair climber. I just don't have it in me to start lifting... Yet. The first time I lost the weight, I eventually started lifting, it just took me a while to get there.
  • Hershey kisses are what I've been eating for dessert. Some days I can only fit 2 pieces in, other days much more. Normally 2-3 pieces hits the spot
  • Just throwing it out there... Have you started any medications? I recently restarted my Wellbutrin and had forgotten about some possible side effects. My appetite dropped and I a having to eat snacks in the evenings to reach my calorie goals some nights. it helps me to plan my meals. It's worth planning your meals and…
  • I know how to cook, I'm just bored with it. Plus evenings can be hectic. We've been using skillet bags for dinner and veggies. It's been helping me to be under calorie goals or right at goals. What sucks is the sodium. Really, we (my partner and I) eat too much processed foods. I think it's time to go back to fish and…
  • In 2015 1. Lose the weight (again) the healthy way 2. Not to let my ocd take over and weigh myself 27 times a day 3. Not obsess over mistakes with eating 4. Use my education properly and not swing to extreme restriction again.
  • I'm just under 6'4 and when I was in decent shape, I was 215. Ideally I would like to get back down to that weight. It really depends on your build imo. when I dropped down to 200, I was closer to what the bmi scale wanted (terrible idea), but I looked sickly.
  • Originally it was marked as lightly active, but now that I'm a coordinator, I sit at a desk all day. I need to get a HRM, I don't trust the equipment, but it's the best I got for now. Normally while working out my HR stays between 140-160. I just don't know if I should cut the calories burned by 50% or higher.
  • Ugh. I am. I've got a cruise in July for my 10 year anniversary and I refuse to be this large in any photos we take.
