I love mine. I won't pay attention to my steps if I don't and I can find myself being ridiculously seditary. Also remember Black Friday sales are just around the corner and a lot of stores should be having them at a great sale price. We got our flex last year for $49 each.

I save 90% of my calories for late night because it's when I get ravenous. I have 6 kids as well and it's the only time I can eat in peace and quiet and enjoy my calories lol

I was that way the first week until I realized I needed to change what I was eating. I was eating small portions of high calorie foods instead of large portions of low calorie foods. Change up what your eating and see if it helps. Large portions veggies and small portions of pastas, rice, potatoe for dinner along with…

Mom: I'm so happy to see how much weight you have lost! You look great! I was really starting to worry you would die young when you were so fat". God bless her heart it was in the right place lol

Toscana soup with tons of kale! Switch out the pork sausage for turkey sausage and the whipping cream for non fat half and half. Delicious soup

I lost 65 lbs on WW. I was NEVER starving, when I cancelled my membership I was never charged again, I NEVER bought weight watchers food and never felt pressured too, I never attended a meeting because it wasn't my thing and sounded cheesy to me. I loved WW and how it worked for me to jump start my weight loss. It was the…

With type 1 diabetics there is often to no rhyme or reason or "patterns". Blood sugar can fluctuate with moods, stress, foods, oncoming sickness, hormonal changes, a scratch they could becoming infected and a hundred other different reasons. OP I'm not type one but my 18 year old and has been for last 16 years. He's also…

I think it's about perception. Maybe you're feeling invisible when your heavier so that is what you see? I've been morbidly obese and low end of the healthy BMI and everything in between throughout life and I never felt invisible. However, I know people who aren't big and still feel that way because it is how they perceive…

Depends on what you mean by BG and how many carbs we are talking here. If my son ate a ton of carbs in one meal mama would go mama dearest on him. So can you clarify if your diabetic? If so then resist it and cut your portion size down to a reasonable carb intake for one meal. Normally 30-45 carbs per meal is recommended.

If you want a baby then have a baby. If you decide you don't then don't. You can continue taking care of your body while pregnant (making it much easier to lose pregnancy weight after) but in the end yes we sacrifice some of our body dreams when we have a baby. I don't ever hope to have my pre babies body. I've given birth…

You were a gorgeous bride and congrats!!!!! Plus love the last name even if you spell it wrong :p former McIntire here (maiden name).

I chew gum like crazy (habit from quitting smoking) I break off pieces of gum instead of chewing a whole stick at a time. So a fourth of a piece each time. I chew gum all day long. If food isn't in my mouth gum is! Try breaking the gum into 4ths. You still get the fresh gum without chewing a full piece at a time.

Last night I tried on 3 gorgeous pinup style dresses I had purchased almost a year ago as incentives to lose weight to get into them. All 3 were able to zip up ( before there was literally about 5-6 inch gap I couldn't close across my waist/back! Sure I could barely breath but those darn things zipped up!! Eek!!! 20 more…

Lol the bacon grease!!! I seriously had an argument with myself about if I could away with not counting the bacon grease to cook my hash browns in since I already counted the bacon. I was so sad to pour out the grease and use a spray of Pam instead lol 1 quick spray not 1/3 of the can lol

I just checked it's been almost 8 weeks since I actually got serious with logging and I've lost 13 pounds so it's averaging pretty close to 2lbs a week. Now some weeks it's 1-1.5 others it's 2-3lbs it varies but still pretty close :) as for the tip for fit bit ty! I'm still trying to figure out what all this little gadget…

I'm completely happy with amount of food I've been eating for 3 months and not hard at all. Plus I eat back at least half my exercise calories so there is rarely a day I have ate 1200 calories. Normally it ends up being closer 1400-1500. Why does everyone assume if your base calories are 1200 the person is actually eating…

It's totally appropriate for an obese woman but ty for your concern. :)

Maybe I'm just being anal the 400 less calories burned by end of day seems like a rather large discrepancy between the two but guess I can be patient and wait until midnight to see lol. Ty for your help.

I didn't even try logging yesterday. I could have had 2000 it could have been 10000 lol I lived in blissful ignorance for the whole day.

Weird as MFP has me needing to eat 1500 calories including the steps from fit bit but according to the fit bit that barely put me (me at around a 300 calorie deficit) I realize I have 5.5 hours left but it's going to be sitting at a computer trying to force myself to write a paper for school I don't want to write so I…

I'm a Coke Zeroaholic. I've lost 73lbs so far so in my experience it hasn't affected weight loss. However I also drink around 90 oz of water a day as well

I just sat down from walking in place while watching tv. I am trying to walk in place for 10 minutes every hour that I am awake. I'm a sahm so for me this is an attainable goal. Plus we go to the gym 3 days a week and/or take walks around the neighborhood. It's little habits that add up. Try adding some little habits to…

Nice of the Doctor to set an unrealistic goal :/ well thank goodness they can't force you to lose that much that quickly. If I were you I'd set a goal to lose 40-50 pounds in 6 months. It's obtainable and you won't feel like you are are starving now or failing when you can't reach an unrealistic goal. Personally I'd like…

Side note I had went 3 weeks without any significant loss in fact one week I was up a pound so that may have something to do with it but I still think jiggly fat rules lol

I'm a believer!!! So yes I pinched my fat when this thread started and I thought hmm it does feel feel jiggly not firm or normally more "dense" like it had been feeling. So I crossed my fingers and hoped and prayed. Yesterday's weigh in I dropped 2.4 lbs from last week. Snuck a peek at the scale today another 1.2 lbs for a…

As a sister to two brothers I have to say when they tell me something that I perceive as them struggling or upset about I tend to want to help fix it. They are my boys and I love them. Example my brother was going through a divorce. He explained some worries he had and I spent the rest the night researching information and…

Just a few ideas

A broccoli and cheese quiche would be about $2
