  • It depends on my mood usually! Sometimes if I feel like it and I'll go ahead and trim 100-200 caloreis off my intake for the next few days to make up the difference, or try to squeeze in some extra walks but sometimes I'm just hungry or stressed and don't want to deal with trying to make it all work out even and just write…
  • Maybe not the most feel-good reason, but honestly it was mostly me hitting peak self-loathing =P I'd always been chubby since middle school but when I hit college between some struggles with depression and heavy school load that lead to me stress/comfort eating, and decreased activity (no more team sports to keep me…
  • A lot of people report having huge inaccuracies with the Fitbit but I've never had that issue. I use a Fitbit Charge 2 and before that I had the plain old Charge and it seems to be fairly accurate for me. Now that I've gotten to a lower weight, I've found that the Fitbit suggested calories a day is more accurate for me…
  • I use an app called Libra (for Android, I think a similar iOS app is HappyScales, I'm pretty sure there's a website you can use called Trendweights) and weigh every day in the morning in as close to the same circumstances as I can. Roughly the same time, right when I wake up, before I drink, after I use the restroom, and…
  • I've lost 32 lbs since April and the vast majority of my exercising has been walking. I was suuuper sedentary at the start of this, all day desk job, videogames/reading being my main for-fun hobbies. So I started off trying to hit over 5k steps on my fitbit every day, and 10k steps 3 days a week. Which most people probably…
  • Yeesh, people sure like to rain on other people's parades. People running around playing Pokemon Go or Ingress or reading Twitter or whatever else they want to do on their smart phones while they walk doesn't hurt anybody, so why try to make them feel bad about doing it? I've been trying to walk 3-5+ miles every day after…
  • What mythical land do you live in where Team Instinct has some actual clout and owns gyms? I need to move there haha. I think I am one of like 3 team yellow folks in my entire city, eveeeeeeery gym is blue/red haha.
  • The CP you find pokemon at is basically just luck it seems, and the higher level you are as a trainer the more chance you have of finding higher CP pokemon
  • I play quite a few games, and my taste in games is all over the board. My main timesink game is World of Warcraft, have a buddy guild (Horde-side) with people I've known online for 6-8 years. I still have fun with the game, but don't know if I'd still be playing if it wasn't for having that group of friends, that play…
  • It'll probably vary from town to town, but it seems like there are a lot of spots! "Gyms" in this game is just using the main pokemon game terminology, where you go to "pokemon gyms" and battle trainers to get badges. In Pokemon Go, they don't have to be REAL gyms, to be game-gyms. I've seen pokemon gyms marked on the map…
  • But no really, they might actually be potatoes. Haha. I've been out running around my apartment complex at almost midnight. And my work is a zoo, it's a big, 2 tower company with thousands of employees, across from a huge outdoor shopping centers, and there's like, 8 pokestores (one of them IN the building) and 3 gyms in a…
  • I tend to be busy all day at work and not really think about being hungry unless I'm stuck in meetings all day and bored, and even then I'm stuck and can't do much about it. And then at home when I have more free time to think about it, I get ravenously hungry, so I usually save the bulk of my calories for dinner/evening…
  • I think birth control is just one of those things that affects different ladies in different ways. And different brands affect the same folks differently. My sister swears up and down starting the pill makes her gain/keep 15 extra lbs, I have a couple friends who say it caused them to drop 5-10 lbs, and I started on them…
  • I actually started using WW in January 2013 right after college graduation as my first attempt at serious weight loss, and had pretty good success with it. I never went to meetings and just used the online tools/phone app. In 4 months I dropped about 25 lbs and didn't feel deprived. Then in May I finally landed a "real"…
