Exactly! But I have to say I missed that part... where it's the last resort, so that at least makes it better!

And the list of people I know who will use this just popped into my brain... these people I thought of don't give a fig about eating less to lose weight or proper nutrition. They are the people who complain about being "fat" while shoving large amounts of high calorie foods in their mouths all day every day... ::SMH:: I…

Me...errrrrday!

This is all very informative...thank you!

You do way more than me exercise-wise though....

Wow! Good to know! I'm intrigued... I need to try upping my calories and see if I can do this too... SLOWLY though... cuz if I can eat more and maintain my weight then I'm all for it! Although I weigh a lot less...and I like my size, so maybe that's where the difference lies... Anyway, sounds like an experiment is in…

What the?! Do you lift? OMG! I'm 5'2 and I eat between 1300-1400 a day. I never eat my exercise calories... which are my Fit Bit calories that generally average about 400. So base don that I would say the most I might be able to eat 1800 ( I doubt it though because my current weight loss is minimal) So 2100 -2300 seems…

True story!

@ReaderGirl3 Just by this comment alone I think we should be friends... LOL

Bahahahahahahahahaha! LOVE THIS! Too funny!

Thanks for that info, but I know how Fit Bit works, it's not working correctly... I never log regular exercise, cuz I don't exercise I just "Fit Bit"... The only reason I logged some exercise is I needed the calorie burn for my diary records and Fit Bit was not giving them to me. So for example I burn approximately 400…

Yup same. I've had problems off an for about a week. I've had to uninstall and reinstall (the MFP and FB apps) a few times. As well as revoke access and reconnect, always seems to fix it for the next day but the day it messes up is a lost cause! On those days I manually input exercise calories that are equal to my daily…

I eat fast food a lot... I like it a lot...actually I LOVE IT! I've lost 28 pounds and have kept it off for over 6 months... so what's the problem w/ fast food? Log it, make sure it fits your calories, and most importantly ENJOY IT!

Pear shape here... 5'1 (and 1/2inches) tall, 98 pounds, size 0... lost a total of 28 pounds... skeletal on top but still a little bit pudgy on the bottom, but it has shrunk a lot (but slowly) since starting MFP and doing lots of cardio which includes walking 10 flights of stairs 2x a day every work day ( I work on the top…

Pretty much any flavor exists in cheesecakes, even ones you don't want... the "cheesecake bible" I referenced in my above comment includes: Salmon flavored and Chives & Dill flavored... we HAVE NOT tried those ones, LOL

The one's my husband bakes. He has a "cheesecake bible" cookbook and makes pretty much any kind you could ever want. And his always come out light and creamy not heavy thick (and gross) like the store bought and/or Cheesecake Factory cakes! My faves of his are the cappuccino flavored and peppermint or chocolate mint…

Yes...this video is a great reminder for those that may have forgotten and a great eye-opener for those that have never seen it!!!

I just started using the recipe builder... thanks for the tips...

I just saw your question about them turning brown... I haven't had that happen and I slice and package mine the night before...I just put it in a Tupperware container. IDK if it makes a difference...

Yes! Thank you! A "small apple" to one person may be a 'large apple" to another... I'm tiny...your medium apple may be a giant apple to me... LOL So in other words, logging "1 medium apple" doesn't mean the same to every person. That's why I weigh, by grams, and log. Even pre-packaged items a can be "off"... Manufacturers…

Exactly! I'm only 5'1 and a few extra calories can make or break my weight loss/maintenance efforts. I've been on MFP for a little over a year and have been maintaining a 28 pound (up or down 3lbs because I allow myself a 3-pound weight range) for over 6 months. I still eat whatever I want to... and I can do this and still…

In some cases, yes, and that's fine, but if you don't weigh your fruit, you may not realize that that piece of fruit is actually more (in size, weight and calories) then it says and that's when it causes negative repercussions to your weight loss/maintenance efforts

Yeah I have to hide my treats too... my husband doesn't understand the word "ration", LOL! If I don't hide it, I don't get to eat any of it! #NotCool

Yeah I thought about that actually... I hope nobody actually does anything to the poor little mouse... :'(

There can be big differences!!! I know this from having weighed all my food for (almost) every meal for over a year... The only thing I don't weigh is what I can't, like when we go out to dinner. If I buy food and bring it home, even if it's tacos from Taco Bell, for example, I weigh it... So yeah the calorie difference is…

If I can, I cut it up and weigh only the part I eat. If not I weigh the whole thing and just include it in my total... I figure being off a little bit, by saying I ate more than I actually did from time to time, will only assist me in my weight loss/maintenance efforts.

That's the solution...bring a mouse into work and realize it near the sweets table... they'll never bring sweets again! LOL!

There's always food in my office too... I just ignore it. I have my own stash of goodies, if I absolutely feel like I want to indulge I eat those...very rarely happens though. I find the longer I do this the easier it is to resist temptation plus I allow myself treats, weighed and planned, into my day EVERY day so I never…

Yes... I weigh everything and the packaging has been wrong more than it's been right, w/ the error being that there is more in the package then the serving says. Perfect example: Pure Protein Shakes. The package states 11oz for 160 calories. I've measure and there's actually 12oz which makes it 175cals. Again that's just 1…
