Popcorn is my go-to snack. Air-popped plain I love. 100g is 347 calories, but 100g is a huge bowl of 10 cups. It's a perfect munch-craving buster. Other ideas: 100g blueberries is 57 calories 100g grapes is 67 calories 100g low-fat cottage cheese is 72 calories 100g cherry tomatoes is 30 calories 100g butternut squash is…

Please add me! I lost 30 pounds already since last January, but have not lost any real weight in last 6 months and am ready to get going again! :smiley: My diary is public too to help keep me accountable... even the bad days. -Jess

I can do this! I've broken the barrier before, 5 years ago. Then I slowly went up 60 more pounds :( I started one year ago Jan 2017 at 262, and lost 30 pounds in 4/5 months. Nothing has happened since then and I am sitting at 230. So ready to keep losing! Thanks for this group! Please anyone feel free to add me as a…

I managed to lose 30 pounds again this year by the way... but then summer happened and I never got back on track. Still have 70 to lose!

Looking for newly motivated people now :smile: Add me anytime! I have been going WAY over my calories and am finally ready to start getting serious again. Let's do this!

Same thing happens with my fitbit on my wrist. Always tight in the mornings. I just take it off and let everything breathe. I try to have a big glass of water before bed and one when I wake up (but often forget...)

I try to ignore the calories I've earned back from exercise for the most part. I just have a goal range of how many calories I want to eat in a day, and try to stay within there.

Sunday mornings

Did you ever try contacting customer service? They will probably send you a new one for free.

I really love my Fitbit Charge HR. Tracks steps, HR, calories... and that's pretty much all I use it for. I love that it syncs up with MFP... and I love knowing what time it is always lol. I do wish it was waterproof, other than that I am super happy. Fitbit has AMAZING customer service too.

Awesome!!

I can't believe there are 10 pages on here... "The teacher says Pop Tarts are not a healthy snack." Well... they're not!

Let's do this! Please feel free to add me, everyone. I have an open Food Diary to help keep me accountable. If we aim for 2 pounds a week, that is 104 in a year. IT will NOT be easy - lots of hard work, dedication to no binge eating and daily exercise... we've got this!!!

Great idea to start a teacher thread! I have been teaching the first grade for 6 years now (in Calgary, Canada.) My biggest challenge is actually when I get home - I am often way too exhausted to cook dinner. This leads to lots of takeout. On good weeks, I prep my meals on Sundays. I am hoping for a lot more "good weeks"…

Oh and I also think some people are confused about extra steps - if you just leave your Fitbit on your counter all day, it will still "register" your base calories, like 1500 or so. These are calories, not steps. It only registers steps (and extra burnt calories) for when you move.

Many of my friends have them, but I didn't really care to count my steps, so I wasn't interested in getting one. Then I received my Fitbit Charge HR in August as a gift.... and I LOVE it! As previous posters have said, I love getting the buzz at the end of the day when I reach my goal of 11,000 steps. I love seeing all the…

Jell-O…. or air-popped popcorn. You can have a LOT of plain popcorn for not many calories! I also try to fill up on a huge glass of tea (sometimes treat myself to one square of dark chocolate with that tea.) My new idea is also edamame beans or roasted chickpeas… not sure on the calorie count on those.

My goal is 30 minutes of daily exercise, in whatever form that may be. So that means if it's bed time and I have not moved, I need to get dressed and go for a short walk! :) Please ADD ME if you are reading this, I love having lots of active MFP friends supporting each other!!! We can do this!

Still looking for active friends on my MFP list! Please add me if you are reading this! :) We can do it!

I am still here kind of as well… Definitely ready to be more active (logging) again! Please add me if you are reading this :) We can do this!

Me:3 LSN:1*

Me:2* LSN:3

Me:0 LSN:3* Decided to come here and be honest… Kind of forgot to stop snaking!!! Will set an alarm this evening to remind myself that dinner is ALL I need!

This is scary.... but I'm so in! About 25 lbs to lose by Christmas to get to my target. Anyone feel free to add me so we can motivate each other.

Ditto! I was going to say I'll start in September, but why not today? I am going to a bachelorette party tomorrow... but not tonight! This is my big stepbfor today! LNSing is probably my worst weight-loss enemy. Can't wait to use lots of great tips to kick it to the curb!

Hey everyone! I went on a but of a summer hiatus, but I'm back! Lots of my old friends on my MFP list are inactive now, so I thought I would bump this old board up. I log everything, even when I have a bad binge fest... trying to get rid of those. Add me! :smile:

Just added a bunch more people!!! Thanks for sharing your diaries!

Thanks for the adds girls! Sharing my diary helps keep me accountable! :smiley:

Ditto! Anyone please feel free to add me, I appreciate the shared diaries

Hello ladies and gents! I have added a bunch of people from this thread now, but decided I should do an introductory post. I am a 28 year old teacher from Canada and also have 100 pounds to lose. My weight has been going up and down (mostly UP!) since I was 9. My number one issue is meal planning for sure. I get very tired…
