I was looking into getting a weighted vest for cardio and I think I'll definitely get one now. Thanks everyone!

I appreciate the Bible reading and meditation as well. Helps set me day of on a positive note. Wake up 4:15ish. Check on family. Read Bible texts of the day. Workout #1. Shower and change faster than Superman while watching news and weather. Throw lunch in bag. Kiss everyone and snuggle pets on my way out the door by 6:15…

Not necessarily on this thread, but the general public and the medical community has. I remember those stupid charts too. Someone posted one to a Facebook group I belong to. Thankfully the comments shot it down.

Do a search for how to nominate posts for sticky status. You'll find the page that way.

Yes! Another one, not shortie specific, is those purple who weigh down the knee pad on the assisted pull up machine with plates to do regular pull ups instead of just using the pull up rack. Then leave the plates there. So I have to figure out how to unload this thing without getting hit in the face with the knee pad when…

Yeah... I like how it says its for people tired of throwing away their hard earned money, but then you gotta buy the book and packages.

All of this reminds me of how I was running from doctor to doctor insisting I had hormonal issues keeping me from losing weight despite working out religiously. That and constantly buying the latest book, dvd, or magazine for answers. It had to be my metabolism, not my daily diet of: Dunkin Donuts for breakfast Chinese or…

I see a lot of zero point WW meals on Instagram or FB, and when I do the math they can come out to 600 calories worth of fruit, eggs, and avocado toast. My hubby is always eyeing up the size of my meals. I can fill a dinner plate on 350 calories or less, but he thinks I'm overeating due to just size. Meanwhile his snack is…

The guy who refuses to allow people to work in with him because "people slow him up and throw off his groove", yet he cleared off half the dumbbell rack and now lives in the squat track. This dude had the nerve to give me an eye roll for using 2 benches for feet elevated dips because the machine was taken. People who crap…

Agree. I am healthier. I am more active. I am smaller. Than when I started out, yes. But I am ten pounds over the cut off for normal weight. I could and have looked a lot better 10- 13 lbs lighter than where I am now. I can see I am still overweight. I am not done yet. So the overweight and happy part? No. Can I be happy…

I prefer horse drawn carriage. :p

Good to know. I have a salad dressing where one bottle was listed in servings per gram, then it was relabled and the servings are now listed in mL. Same 30 units per serving and same amount of calories. I'm in the US. How'd they pull that off?

Lost 70 lbs on the older WW plans and kept it off. Tried Freestyle and I get bored to death eating the same repetitive foods because they're zero points. It just sets me up to binge. Plus my calories were too low to support any strenuous activity. I will agree that it does encourage you to really think first about the…

I'm doing the same. For me it's not a matter of which works better, it's a matter of consistency a and sustainability. I automatically check calories on packages instead of points. But in all honestly I'm not consistent in logging on MFP or WW, especially on weekends. I switch back and forth too. I woosh, weight loss…
-
A lot of members are pushing for the option of counting macros and calories along with points for health and athletic performance reasons. Will it happen? Most likely not. I understand the push to clean eating, but the plan itself resulted in a boring, repetitive, restricted eating style that led to binging, and…

It's extremely difficult to find the entry that actually lists the calories too. I found one though.

To enter a 5k. I can run it indoors, outdoors is different. Do a handstand and an unassisted pull up. Do 100 lb upper body lifts- bench press, overhead press, bent over row Complete my flying lizard and mermaid poses.

Flexitarian with a little foodie mixed in. Mostly plant based, but if the butternut squash mac and cheese, shrimp and grits, or chocolate cheesecake is calling me then I'm there with my food scale.
-
Some candies may be dusted with confection sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking. Maybe the gluten free label is assurance the powder is not wheat based? I have an issue with cholesterol free on tubs of margarine or vegetable based spread. Yes, cholesterol is found in animal derived products, but when I see all that fat…

All today I was negotiating going home to escape a Noreaster or the gym. I went to the gym. I finished week 8 day 3 of C210K, and felt like I wanted to keep going. So I ran 4.75 miles in an hour. Not the fastest, but I did it. Then I ran into an old co-worker I hadn't seen in about 2 years and 20 lbs ago. And she…

I weigh the inedible parts of all fruit and just chalk it up to covering any margin for error.
-
Thanks. I just weighed out the 130 grams drained, found the corresponding entry and went with that. Still a very small serving.
-
I drained them. I know some people would keep the liquid for cooking but to me thats a ton of salt and slime.
-
What about coming in under? I weighed out servings of beans, 130g as per the label, 3.5 servings per can. I only got 2 and maybe a quarter servings per can. I demand a refund. :p

Did the 100 squat challenge with a 25 lb kettlebell. Not fun. I can't squat super heavy (disc issues), but manage 115 lbs easy for 3x12. Heaviest I've ever gotten to was 135 before having to back off.

I remember being between a 1X a size 12 after losing weight in my 20s and thought that was the best I could do. Then I got comfy and gained it back. I was obese, prediabetic, stressed out and pissed off about all of it in my 30s and eating for comfort. I dropped to a size 4 with WW and MFP in my early forties. I'll be 42…
