An apple a day.

Well I can handle a pound, but certainly not 10 lbs. Better stick to maybe 1 BBQ beef sandwich and veggie platter

Hi, I'm 58, started mid December, have lost almost 12 pounds. I challenge woman at work to get the most steps in and they are 20 years younger than me, and I still can do it. I can now walk up the stairs at work, 4 flights, still get winded, but can do it. I have been doing a lot of bodyweight exercises, to try to build…

I tried spinach, carrot and tomato once. It was horrible. Tasted like grasd

thanks guys, I have the peanut butter/chocolate one, didn't taste that great mixed with water. But today I put it in the vitamix and added one cup of unsweetened almond milk and a banana, and it tastes really good that way. Very filling also.

I am getting stronger at calisthenics

I find keeping a small orange helps. They are sweet so satisfies my sweet tooth

I started 30 days ago, began with 30 pounds to lose, lost 10 pounds, last week been at a plateau, so still need 18 more to lose.

2 cups of weak black coffee for me I will not give up my coffee

Well I can't eat right before going to bed because I do have acid reflux and I'd be up all night with bad heartburn or have really strange dreams

my sleep gets logged but all screwed up, it does it in shifts it seems. I sleep from 10 - 1, then next line sleep from 1:30 - 5. Weird.

ok, thank you

thanks

Well it started working but now it isn't again. Problem must be in their end

it's working now

well, I played around with my goals a bit, and since I have less than 20 pounds to lose, I changed my goal setting from 1 lb/week to .5 lb/week, now my calorie intake went up 220. So I was at 1200 at 1/lb/week now at 1420 at .5/lb/week. I'll play around with .5 and see what happens. Least I can eat more now.

No, the 83 was just yesterday, I didn't do all the extra walking yesterday, I was just kind of lazy.

Wow, you don't even look like the same guy. Awesome for you

well turns out we are not going to BWW after all. Fine with me, miss out on high calorie food (although I do love the food there) and boring UFC fights.

So, I am wondering, I have my profile set as sedentary because I have a desk job, I'm wondering if I should change that to lightly active because yes I sit while I'm doing my job, but I walk 15 minutes twice a day and then another 1/2 hour once a day while at work, then I come home and do more exercises. As I stated…

I don't know why it is only at 1200, I said I only want to lose 1 lb/week. I clicked sedentary because I have an office job. But I walk 3 times a day at work, on my breaks and at lunch, and then work out everyday at home, so maybe I should put that down as lightly active instead?

Sure was fun, when I saw I was at 163.4 yesterday and 162.6 today. I love seeing it go down. Only 18 pounds to go.

ok thanks. Yup, I'm using trend weight.

I am not sure Rabbit, what you are getting at, after reading that post about weight loss isn't linear I do understand about the fluctuations. I just had a big fluctuation of a loss the last two days. I am also measuring my food more concise. So I believe that helps. I learned not to get upset if my weight goes up again…

So since I have been measuring all my food and staying not going below my sodium intake I have managed to lose 1.6 lbs in 2 days.

OK, so I tried an experiment and logged my exercises into fitbit. They did transfer over to mfp. I think yesterday I was kind of lazy, so mfp took away some of my fitbit adjustment numbers. Another thing I don't understand

I was at around 4000

lose weight, sedentary, negative adjustment, 1/lb a week.

See I am still confused even after reading all this. Ok, I log 30 minutes of weights in fitbit with a calorie burn of 98, then I log 30 minutes of aerobics in fitbit with a calorie burn of 112. this all gets synced to MFP, but the calorie adjustment only shows 83. This is where my confusion comes into play. So my calorie…
