What's helped for me is logging those large portions of unhealthy food I like and realizing how I put all this weight back on. Drinking more water, logging as accurately as possible, adding a little bit of exercise goes such a long way!

I actually look at Pinterest before & afters, and read weight loss stories there for motivation! It's been very helpful for me!

You can actually accomplish a whole lot in 6 weeks!! Welcome back!!

I turn up Pitbull and other music in Spanish! I don't even speak Spanish but it gets me goin! ☺️

For some reason it only posted part of my answer! My goal as of now is 165-170. I just need to stop eating so much!

I am currently 181-185 on certain days!

How many extra calories does it give you at 13k steps? I'm almost there and it's given me 1400. Seems like a lot. Of course I won't be eating them back.

Thank you so much!!!

I have completely eliminated McDonald's and dark soda! 2 things I would normally have twice a day. It's been over a year for both! Yaaaay!

Charge HR. Just after midnight while I was laying down it gave me 146 steps and this morning it gave me another 120 or so within 3 minutes of me checking it. I went into the app and switched it to dominant even though it's on my non dominant wrist. I read that this may help. We'll see!

I bought s Fitbit last night and it's been adding steps I haven't taken! I read that it's normal but I'm not sure I'm ok with that....

Right now my iPhone is my step counter which I really only wear at the gym. I had it synced with mfp but after a couple of days it stopped counting for some reason. I'm going to get a Fitbit!

That's grrrrrrreat!!!

Awesome! Thanks for your "positive" feedback!

Oh ok. I thought I had to factor in exercise when selecting my activity level. Thanks!!!!!

So if my step counter is only around 5,000 on average, should I set my activity level to sedentary and only count calories burned after 5,000 steps?

Pre-logging helps! That way you're completely in control.

Yes I'm right there with you! I think this is my 5th try! We can do it!!

I'm pretty much depriving myself of fried fast food for a while. Of course I can "fit it in" but I didn't join this site to find ways to continue eating it on a regular basis. I'd like to make healthier choices MOST days.

Congratulations! You are doing fantastic! I'm very happy for you!

You can add me too! My phone won't let me :smile:

Yes! Now I'm trying to get rid of my new fat and get back to my old "fat" lol! :smile:

"Made in the kitchen, revealed in the gym" This quote originally applied to abs but I think of the entire body when I hear it.

You can add me too if you want!

My phone won't let me add anyone for some reason but feel free to add me! I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is 170 for now. 13lbs to go...

You can add me too! I only have 2 mfp friends and they don't log in often enough! :)

I would relive any day in high school so I could write myself a list of things not to do and people to avoid.
