  • I have a suspected sulphite/sulfate intolerance, although I seem to be able to tolerate up to a certain (as yet unquantified) threshold before I react. I actually find that it makes it easier to eat healthy, because I tend to be fine with whole foods and have a much greater issue with processed foods that contain more of…

  • I'm personally not the most disciplined food tracker (i.e. I tend to estimate or loosely measure), so I don't sync my activity between my AW and MFP. I sort look at it as a buffer. I have my settings here on sedentary and manually enter my activity if it's enough to justify it. This is just what works for me, though, there…
    in What's the best way to use MFP & Apple Watch? Comment by LuckysGurl September 2020
  • I had mine syncing to MFP for a while, but wasn't happy with the accuracy (duplication and/or missing workouts), so I actually went back to entering by hand. I also don't always eat my exercise calories back, so this gives me the freedom to leave them out of the picture if I need to, or wait and enter at the end of the day.

  • I'm another one that goes the 'kernels in a brown paper lunch sack' route. Easy peasy and you have complete control over the ingredients and nutrition!

  • I really love this analogy, and hadn't thought of it in these terms. I've been a faithful budgeter for YEARS. But always feel like I'm working toward not "having" to log my food. This really helped put it in a new perspective for me!

  • Alarm set for 4:55. Up, potty, weigh, dressed, out the door by 5:10/5:15 for a 5:30 class. For me it is 100% about getting to bed at a decent hour the night before, and then just moving through the actions like a machine the next morning, removing all excuses and obstacles. If I let myself think about it, I'll talk myself…
    in What is your wake up routine? Comment by LuckysGurl August 2019
  • I think it varies depending on the instructer and the type of workout. I've done AMRAP workouts, which are "for time" meaning do the exercise for X minutes, As Many Reps As Possible. I've also had them pushing to see how fast I can get done a set number of reps. Either way, the parameters they give you should help shed…
