Add me everyone!

So do the watch HRMs have chest straps you wear?

Looking it up now!

What does an activity tracker do?

This exactly! (But I'm still fat FYI lol)

that's what I thought but when I said that in another discussion in here they said it wouldn't be necessary for that

so the machines at the gym isn't accurate either??? They measure your heart rate so I figured they were pretty accurate..

When I lose 15 pounds I'm going to buy myself one of those newer polar HR monitor watches. I been wanting one for a while but they're a tad bit expensive but I will make it a gift to myself for reaching a small milestone! Losing any amount of weight is hard so why not reward yourself for all your hard wrk

Ok that makes sense! Thank you!!!

Ok so say you make cabbage or something like that, and you add maybe 2 tsp of butter..how would you log that if you only getting a portion of the cabbage which contains some of the butter?

Wow that's awesome! Hw many cals you eat a day?

I had texted myself 2 c if I had made it home safe and replied back 2 myself lol!

I understand totally. But dang this is supposed 2 be a lifestyle change.. and I can't see myself living my life measuring every single thing that goes in my body. That's just so overwhelming to me you know? That's just like how we log calories burned when exercising...well we burn calories all through the day and we…

this is really discouraging now...b/c now I know I have to weigh every single thing and I cnt do that all the time b/c alot of the times I'm not home and have to pack snacks and then rely on the nutrition label...but you guys telling me I can't do that and it may hinder my weight loss so now i'm just stressed out more on…

b/c that is what I was doing going by a package or the back of a nutrition label...if I eat a slice of cheese it says one slice is 60 calories...one mozzarella stick says 70 calories...

That's not gonna be easy at all...I grab these in the morning and take them to work...but say if I did measure it: these are 160 calories for each container and its 48 grams it says...If I took the oatmeal out and measured it myself and it came to 50 grams instead how would I recalculate the calories for the 2 extra…

I drink ALOT of water...I just don't fill it in on here

Of course I had to guestimate for the burger it was a tiny bite I had. very very tiny and I was in the car can't weigh a bite b/4 you eat it if you just taking a bit out something ...the quick calories was a subway sandwhich that I had and I used the subway calculator to get the calories.. I couldn't get exact b/c I…

Ok so I watched the video which was AWESOMEEE! Thank you so much 4 sharing it with me! This is exactly why I post in these forums b/c you guys are so informative and provide great resources. Ok BUT back to the oatmeal thing I was tryng to explain b/c I STILL don't thnk you understand what i'm talking about when I was…

ok so since weighing is obviously extremely important, what to do when you're at a dinner or at work and want to grab something to eat and can't weigh anything??????? things happen and we can't always prepare our food and have to make an alternative choice.... Using your best judgment is the only solution right??? But my…

this is very helpful thank you!

I never knew about that site and it will be my best friend! Thank you!

Lol! you got me! I only been measuring using a food scale for about a week or so..b4 it was guesstimates...thanks 4 catching that ;) I will come back to this next week

Love this!!!

Makes a lot of sense! Congratss to you as well! I'm measuring things but now I have found out by this post I have been measuring some things wrong like the watermelon...Thank you for response made me feel a lot better!

but how do you know if that certain entry is correct? you knw MFP has ALOT of incorrect entries so how do I know which one to pick and go by? I hve this problem w/ my watermelon? and I found things that are verified aren't always accurate either

I'm going to read all the links and watch videos as soon as I get home....if I still have a question I will ask ya..thank you!

I don't like repeating myself and I'm sure you don't either so If I'm asking the same questions then I may still be confused about something....this is why I ask questions in discussions, just b/c we talked about it doesn't mean I can't ask again. As you knw I appreciate all the information you give me but I like to get a…

I'm at work at the moment so I can't watch it quite yet I will in a little bit...please stay tuned guys b/c I may still have some other questions I'm at work at the moment so I can't watch it quite yet I will as soon as I get home in about an hour n ahalf...please stay tuned b/c I may still have some other questions...…
