Amazing! Congratulations and continued success!!

I hope that was a joke, maybe OP could offer said homeless person the remainder of her half eaten apple as well. Gross and disrespectful.

I think his point was that YOU were the one that forgot your manners. Seriously.

Why not just increase your portion sizes? If you're only eating 1100 calories, your portions can't be anywhere near big enough.

Well the way I'm huffing and puffing I sure feel like I'm burning tons of calories, lol. I dream of the day when I can run an 8-minute mile bwogilvie! I guess I'll just keep playing around with the numbers I log and as long as my weight continues downward, I'll be good. My food tracking is accurate as I have a scale and I…

I'll definitely keep the 10cals/minute in mind when I'm trying to calculate calories burned. If my numbers have me at or over that rate I'll be recording only some of those calories. Hopefully that will keep me more accurate with logging. Thanks for the info SamZ10 and futuremanda!

Just downloaded the Nike run app, will try it next time I run and see how close it is to today's run. Thanks nikkerbob!

Thanks futuremanda. That's a good idea to even out my target calories for the week. It would definitely make it easier to plan meals, and not leave me feeling hungry or deprived on my non-exercise days. I don't do the same exercise every week, I kind of just do what I feel like doing day by day, but I generally aim for…

Agree with Asher_Ethan on the water. So important to drink lots of water. I also have tea with milk and sweetener when I'm feeling like I need something to fill me up. It tends to do the trick. I'm drinking one right now actually, in the past I would have been snacking on cookies while making the kids lunches!

They're also good for getting in those foods that you may not necessarily like on their own. I can't seem to maintain eating yogurt on a regular basis, and spinach isn't something I like by itself, so by having a protein shake every day, I get my yogurt and spinach in without actually tasting them. I also love having them…

Oh, and I got it on Amazon, I'm in Ontario.

I also have an Ozeri, recommended by many users here on MFP. I love it!!

I'm 5'11" and currently 230lbs. I am set at lightly active, and work out 5-6 times a week at a high intensity for 45min to an hour. My goal is to lose another 60lbs and MFP gives me 1500 cals a day. I generally earn 500-800 exercise calories on the days I work out, and I usually eat back about half of those. So basically,…

Totally agree about the peanut butter thing. I will have a spoonful when I'm feeling peckish, and because it looks so small I think I've fooled myself into believing it wasn't too bad for calories. Once I got a scale and actually weighed it, I realized what I was telling myself was about a tablespoon of peanut butter was…

Now I wish I had just gone ahead and ordered it yesterday, I could have gotten it by tomorrow! :( Oh well, 2 more days of wingin it won't kill me, ha ha. Thanks for responding!

Thanks for the response, I ended up ordering the Ozeri one this afternoon, very excited to get it!

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated!

Thanks for the response. Funny, I almost ordered the top one earlier today but then decided to get some opinions from the 'pros'! I will give it another look, thanks again.
