Perfect. That's all I honestly want it for. I just wanted to know that it would track my steps accurately. I'm going to pick up one before work tonight. I'm dying to see how many steps I have in 12 hours of works lol. Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

Awesome. Now if I can find some I don't need a membership to view that would be great! Thank you!

I just decided that I'll kind of shop around for restaurants that would have a friendlier menu for me and decide what it is I'll order before I get there next time. That way I don't have another oops moment lol. If I found something like that on the Internet do you think they'd kind of have a shopping plan to go with it?

When I actually started taking the time to look at the calories of what I was eating in depth. I realized that it didn't even matter that I had only had 2 large meals and a few snacks on my binge days because the calories I consumed in that one day alone were so through the roof. So the "starvation mode" thing made sense…

Tips? Here's your number one tip: it starts and stops with honesty. Quit lying to yourself. Without this, you will fail. You will continue to fail. Honesty. You are overeating. If you can't be honest and admit that, then you are done here. [/quote] I guess what I should have said was not that because I overeat on a daily…

Awesome! Thank you all for your feedback. I appreciate it so much!

It doesn't sound condescending. I posted here so I could get helpful advice. Even if it is blunt and to the point and maybe not something I necessarily want to hear yet I NEED to know. I want to get the weight off and keep it off and that wont happen unless i know, right? I appreciate it :) thank you! So then I need to…

So if there isn't any such thing as starvation mode then it's really okay that I don't take on 1200 calories right? And that would mean that it was just the fact that when I ate I wasn't making calorie smart decisions?

I'm not entirely sure and she didn't really answer that question. I had something happen a few years ago and I know that i kind of fell into a depression. And I went from 140 to 195 over just a period of a few months but I'm not even really sure how it happened. I didn't eat differently or anything. I was a lot less active…

And then when I exercise do I need to take in more calories to supplement the ones I burned?

What she said is because of the way I eat my body has gone into "starvation mode" and so it all turns to fat. Are almonds and pistachios okay? I'm trying to eat things that will fuel my body and boost my metabolism.

My husband used the muscle milk powder and packed on lean weight really fast. He was also weight lifting though. He buffed up it seemed almost overnight. Which is really saying something for him because before this you could shove 30 gallons of straight lard down him and he'd just burn it right up! Lol! Hope this helped

I can absolutely relate to this. I feel for you. For me it has become so hard not to over think and second guess and when I start doing that I begin to obsess on it and once I start obsessing you may as well count me down and out for a couple weeks but it always subsides. Everyone is their own worst critic. Better days…
