I hear you! If I could not walk I would be in trouble- I am only 5'0 - that plus my age gives me 1280 maintainence calories! If I didn't walk I would barley eat! My knee is bad and my foot is swelling but I walk through the pain. I am not sure that is a good thing but what is the alternative? The pool here is closed till…

If I could not walk I don't know how I could control my weight. I used to run and dance and do aerobics- now I have a bad knee. Steps are difficult. So I walk outside, on my treadmill - but my foot is acting up

I also got one for Christmas and I love it. Since I began using it I am inspired to get my steps and miles in. Because of it I was also inspired to begin logging again and I lost the final lbs and am at my goal. The Fitbit jump stated my stalled commitment to being healthy. I am going to give them as birthday presents to…

My fat is low so that may be what the problem is- easily fixed with some Caesar salad dressing or some real butter or even peanut butter!

Not feeling great is like body uncomfortable and hungry- fighting my body saying it's hungry.

Awe! Pinterest here I come for ideas!

Listen to your body and rest.

Ok- donating them to Goodwill.

I fast every day and use this app. I do an 18/6 interment fast. Basically I eat my alotted calories between 1230-630p. Basically the app is a tool for us. Tools are used to make work easier not to be the master of the worker!

I want more peace in my life: looking at that I am seeing that FBook is constantly showing me bad things happening almost instantly- the election stuff is only going to get worse and I can waste hours on it. So- deep breath- I am getting off of it for Jan at least- a break - I bet the world won't falls apart when I am not…

I rebel against calorie counting - then think" it is just a tool"- like a exersize is a tool that can help me. I am grateful that MFP has such an amazing data base to use for counting calories. On my own ( trying to cut back, work out more, etc) I didn't lose- using the count calories tool I lose. It is not in our nature…

My moment was when I found the 3rd key to dealing with my body while trying to live a good life. It has turned my life around - it has changed my relationship with food. I read an article by a Dr who wrote a peer reviewed paper on the anti aging benefits of Interment fasting. He later did a TED talk which I will put a link…

From what I read: the first 4-6 hours are called fed- the nex

I have been doing IF for 13 days. I like the simplicity of it. I like what I have h ad about the benefits to the brain.. Here is a link for information:http://authoritynutrition.com/intermittent-fasting-guide/

My goal is to do the IF this month to reset my metabolism - to deal with holidays ( only 2 meals)- to see if it will give me better energy and sleep as some say. This is a test!

Been walking on my treadmill - the wind and the rain! What a dramatic weather week here on the central Oregon coast. The surf is up over the stairs I usually take to the beach

Crazy weather. Windy and rain but I did bundle up and walk this am.

I am back here tracking after a several month break. I have had some major life changes-the biggest one is I moved from the isolation of of our ranch ( 15 miles to town) to a beach community where I would not be so isolated. Shortly after I spent some time visiting my family - lived out of my suitcase for 3 weeks. What is…

I sent you a freind request

The after pic is 6 days post op. I am posting this in case anyone here wants to see the difference. My neck has been going for awhile- the weight loss made it worse.

Thank you-- new resolve- eat my xsize cals and drink more water. :)

I do both of those things (underestimate) I log 35 min when I really do 45-- same w food- log a few less calories than I really have.

Thanks- wasn't sure where to put it!

Good article on Macros http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/to-macro-or-not-should-you-track-your-macro-intake.html

Start logging your food in the Journal in this app. You can find any food that you eat in here. As you login it you'll see where you're at in relation to where you should be and that should help. I hope you get your mojo back soon!

Gratitude! I am grateful that I found this program. A few months ago I "woke" up to the idea that I was no longer young. I was only wearing baggy clothes and dreaded going anywhere. My knees and back hurt. I could not face weighing myself. I thought I was too old to be able to lose weight but I decided to try. I wanted my…

Evening is when I want to munch so I save enough calories and make a big bowl pf air pop popcorn with butter spray.

I was worried about that too- so I just started working out and eating right and 20lbs later I know we can!

I am new too- love it here!

I am not tracking except through the MFP app. I walk on my treadmill and do some light weights. I live in the country and it is 3 hilly miles to the mailbox so I walk that weather permiting. Nice to "meet" you all!
