You've made duplicate threads. Have you been measuring your body? You could be gaining muscle weight. Also....I could be wrong, but isn't 119 pushing you to the very edge of the BMI spectrum (close to being underweight)? Maybe what you're looking for is not numbers, but to lower your body fat percentage without actually…

I just found out about Halo Top ice cream. You get it at Whole Foods, but it may be stocked elsewhere. You can also buy it online from the company. One entire pint (4 of the 1/2 cup servings), costs you 240 calories. I like it. Expensive but with to stock it for "binge" moments.

Ummmm....I'm confused. It spat out two formulas that are DRASTICALLY different. One BMR that doesn't take body fat into account is 1936 calories. The one that mentions the body fat says 1353 calories. However when it shows how much to eat, I can't tell which it's in reference to. For sedentary it's 1697. For lightly…

If you haven't done so yet, start measuring yourself and log it in mfp under reports. You can add custom fields. I'm measuring waist, hips, neck (those are default. I also added:), thighs, arms, bust (because boobies), and band (also boobs). Sometimes your weight 'stalls' because you're gaining muscle while burning fat,…

When I tried a fitbit, it was wildly inaccurate on calorie burn. Machine and fitbit matched heartrate. For 30 minutes, elliptical had me at 360 calories. The fitbit had me at 450. It makes sense to trust the machine more because I think it would calculate my stalls, resistance, speed, weight, and heartrate into the…

Yes yes please sticky this. Sex ed when I was in middle school was a joke. They taught abstinence rather than what to expect. ; ;

I drink only a lot of water at work. At home, I have water for when I'm reaally thirsty. If I'm wanting something "better" with a meal, I do a 12oz of Dr Pepper as long as I have the calories to spare. Sometimes I drink orange juice and grape juice.

I'm 5'4 and mfp has me set at 1370. Any less, and I'd probably give up. I think 1200 for 5'7 os WAY too little :(

23 and looking to lose 130 lbs. If other people want to add me, make sure to add a message. I tend to decline invites that don't have any wording to them.

LOL For a minute there a read that as "One of my boyfriend's" and I panicked for you. I see a lot of people using brown sugar in things. I don't know why...I never liked brown sugar when I was growing up.

Watch your urine. If it's very light yellow - almost water looking, then you're hydrated. If it's a darker yellow, then you need more. I just have a 32 oz water bottle. I drink two of them a day.

I just checked and the Whole Foods near me has them. If you don't have it locally, they have an option to buy online. http://www.halotop.com/where-to-buy/

I was planning to go to Whole Foods today! I'd never been before, and we had a presentation at work about the store. How much is it?

:) Boyfriend and I are 10 years apart. He's 33, and I'm 23. We've been together almost 2 years now.

Stress can also halt or alter your menstrual cycle. If she's putting herself through stress and doesn't even realize it, then it would seem like a medical problem. I was living in a place where I was constantly stressing and sinking into depression, that it became a 'normal' for me. I didn't even realize I was stressed.…

I can, for the most part, walk on the treadmill. However, if I could just walk to get what I wanted, then I wouldn't even bother with a gym membership. I'd just walk around the neighborhood parks (especially since it's hard enough as it is getting my exercise and my dog's exercise in).

The problem with that is that I have a really weak ankle. I twisted it a LOT when I was younger, and it's the foot I primarily [extremely] underpronate on. When I'm on a treadmill, I feel like I'm about to trip. I have done 15 minutes on the treadmill on incline 7 with an average speed of about 3.0. But as soon as I start…

As long as you eat a low calorie dinner, you shouldn't gain. It's okay to occasionally eat maintenance calories. Just plug maintenance in the calculator and see how many calories you can have to stay at your current weight.

When the hypothetical zombie apocalypse comes (New Walking Dead season is on Netflix.) , I want to be able to outrun them zombies! I'm not doing the exercising to lose weight. I want to get fit and lose weight. When I was a kid, I loved to run. Then that stopped after I started gaining weight. Annnd my job IS very very…

Maybe the PC version is under Reports > Charts > Select an option from the drop-down menu?

Here's another update. I am now able to do the following elliptical workout without stopping (though sometimes I pause a moment to drink water) 3 min on resistance 1 - slow pace to warm up 30 min on resistance 3 - moderate pace (working up a sweat.) 3 min on resistance 1 - slow pace to cool down. Well, that was a few days…

I was confused why it would affect anything, but then I remembered that most other women actually have menstrual cramps. I just have never had them. I use sport tampons, and my normal workouts aren't too intense anyway. Strength + cardio days last about 40min to an hour, and cardio days last about 40 minutes

I'm set at a 1360 goal. 5'4 with SW of 261 and GW of 130. 2 lb per week. CW 253.

Substitute your ground meats with lean turkey (at least 90% lean. That puts 4 oz of the meat at 160 calories). I'm making Turkey Meatloaf tonight with simple ingredients. Ground Turkey, Egg, and Crushed saltines. Topped with ketchup. At 4 oz servings, it gets me approximately 210 calories. I add a side of mashed potatoes…

Fantasy's my genre!

@Baddogbeanie o.o Are you at Bike's Blues and BBQ's this weekend?

Pizza. I love pizza. If I had a second, it would be cupcakes. But I could eat pizza forever, but if I ate cupcakes forever, I'd probably kill myself xD

For media use only for the gym, I just use some LG wireless ones. Great for being active and them not falling out of my ears. (They're the weird ones that have a plastic headband looking thing that sits on the neck with the ear buds coming out of the ends)
