I spend about $2.20 per meal eating healthy. On the flip side, I spent $3.30 per meal eating "unhealthy." Although it does depend on location, too.

I have had the Surge for a few days so far, and it is right on target with my previous tracker, the BodyMedia FIT, which was the most accurate tracker on the market before Jawbone bought them out and got rid of the product line... In other words, I fully endorse the Surge and think its worth it.

Real name is Stephen. Everyone assumes its Alec.

I lost 86 lbs in 12 months.

250-500. 86 lbs lost.

Food is packaged by its weight, not volume. Should have what a serving size is in grams in parenthesis - use that.

926 days!!! So close yet so far.

I just weigh/log the whole thing, even parts not eaten.

I literally eat homemade turkey chili for lunch every day. Super healthy!

Well, I am L*G*BT so I hope I'm LGBT friendly! LOL. Anyone is welcome to add me. =)

I dunno, everything seems fine to me.

I personally set my activity level to "sedentary" since the activity tracker is going to adjust for my actual activity anyway. Entirely up to you though - I did have it set to my true activity level once. I found it motivating to get out and move more just so my activity tracker would add more calories to my daily goal.

Get a tracker that syncs with MFP and set "negative calorie adjustment" to on so as you sync your data throughout the day it updates your calorie goal on MFP automatically.

They give you a better understanding of how many calories your body burns in a 24 hour period, so you can eat accordingly. My BodyMedia was such a great investment. It consistently tells me I maintain my weight at ~2,000 calories, instead of 1770 as MFP says. I've trusted the numbers of my BodyMedia for two years now and…

Even if the database entry doesn't have a grams option, if you know by the package what the weight in grams, you can still log it by the weight by how much by weight you ate vs what a serving size in weight it is. Of course if its a raw ingredient, just search the name of it with "USDA" and it should pop right up.

901 as of today!

Shoes. I'm a tried and true sneakerhead to the max.

I always have to double the oat serving, or I'd never be full on it. Then it balloons to over 400 calories. Which is OK (my typical breakfast is 650 calories).

A week is not long enough to say definitively that you've gained weight. Two, three, yes, but not one.

Note that you said "stall," not "stop," and also note that you said "could," and not "would." So enjoying yourself and not stressing over a single meal could, or not, stall, not stop, your progress for a day... the goal is to get there, and as long as you do, that's what matters most, and since you don't know when that day…

Favorite: Family and friends! Least favorite: Family and friends!

I eat 28 eggs a week and my cholesterol is perfect.

The display is for the non-Bluetooth BodyMedia device. The LINK doesn't need a display because the display is via the phone app.

But food is always better the next day... plus I practically live on leftovers and have lost like 80 lbs.

Well that escalated quickly.

That description of Aries fits me to a T.

You're starving all the time because you're eating too little, because your deficit is too aggressive.

When you set your account up how many lbs did you say you wanted to lose? 2, 1 1/2, 1, or 1/2?

Your calorie deficit is too aggressive, and you're exercising regularly on top of it. You need to eat back your exercise calories because at 1200 you're already eating at an aggressive deficit to begin with. Change your weight loss goal to something more manageable like 1 lb per week instead of 2. Also weigh your food and…

Well, how much are you eating? You don't log your food it looks like so can't really help you.
