  • How long have you been at the same weight? May was frustrating for me because i didn't lose as much as i wanted, but i stuck with it and first week of June lost over 5lbs in a whoosh. I wouldn't worry about the sugar and sodium so much as the calories, depending on the type and amount of condiments they could hide a lot of…

  • I use my Fitbit sync with MFP. I don't manually add any excersize to MFP unless it's water based and I take my Fitbit off. Majority of my excersize is walking and running. I find the Fitbit very motivating to keep moving especially since I have a desk job. I'm set to lose 2 lbs per week and I have been pretty close to that…

  • I'm not sure it's the same people saying the above as the below. Usually people say weight loss isn't linear, etc to people freaking out. I also find that the frequency of weighing is not related to the freaking out. Some people just freak out when ever the scale goes up regardless of if they weigh weekly or daily. Other…

  • Research C25k, Galloway run/walk method, etc. You don't have to run very far at once. If you really want to run, you probably can. I ran Galloway method when I was over 300lbs. But there is nothing wrong with not running, it's whatever activity your will actually do that is important.

  • Even in the far north I don't think eating healthy is more expensive than eating junk food, yes you don't get fresh veggies. Generally there is lots of local sources of meat (wild game). I live somewhere that has a road but chose not to spend $15 on grapes - but I get frozen fruits & veggies and some 'fresh'. But I've been…

  • I think you are getting too focused on some 'real number.' Trends are important, that is what really tells the story. Maybe it's just me but, I don't think it matters if your really 165.0 or 165.5, or even 166.5 it matters that you are trending down with a nice slope on your trend line.

  • There are stickies that explain everything to newbies - Most Helpful Posts - Getting Started (Must Reads) in the Getting Started section is a good place to start. The biggest issue with entries is users entering wrong data. The basic app is free and honestly it's database is better than paid apps I've used.
    in First post is a rant please forgive me! Comment by sky_northern April 2016
  • Have you been eating back some calories from your work outs? Too big of a calorie deficit means it's more likely you are losing lean tissue with the fat instead of just mostly fat. (Faster loss isn't necessarily better). I think the fact you feel achy is a good sign you might need a rest day.

  • I bring my snacks pre-weighted and logged with me most of the time. For recipes, I will often use the # of grams of the whole final result of the batch as the # of servings, then I can weigh my portions and track by grams (or if really huge recipe then use 100 grams). I have to adjust the weights of ingredients and number…
