I did an experiment once where I weighed myself every hour during the day. My weight fluctuates all day based on what I ate or what came out. (Sorry). It was about a 5 lb difference throughout the day. Im sure it’s just the beer causing the fluctuation

I think I’m going to go for that without the guacamole.

That was the plan - to skip the bun. Trying to decide between the grilled buffalo chicken or the burger. I’m guessing the chicken is the better choice.

Thanks. I don’t normally eat like that - well at least not since I started tracking calories this month. But I’m also going out Friday night which will make 2 days eating out in a row so I wanted to make the best calorie choice possible.

Great weigh in this week! Haven't thought about superbowl snacks yet. Probably some pepperoni bread - which ISN'T THAT BAD if you work it into your calorie allowance for the day. Paired with tons of veggies! Bummed my Patriots aren't in it this year :-(

I would recommend seeing an endocrinologist. My General practitioner only treated my lab values. And while my labs would show I was in the normal range, I didn’t feel good. He wasn’t listening to my ongoing symptoms. I found a good Endo and he listened. We are trying a new / different mix of meds and while I still don’t…

Time to find a new doctor. If you're still having symptoms of hypothyroidism, your medication may need to be adjusted. I've had hypothyroidism for almost 30 years. After I had my son, my normal levothyroxine dosage just no longer worked for me. I'm finally seeing one of the top endocrinologists in my area and he just…

@Jruzer don't do it!!!! :p :p

I weigh myself daily and i just went back and noticed that on 8/22 it reduced my daily calories by 10. At this point I had recorded a 5 lb loss. So it looks like it does update automatically and at the 5 lbs lost mark - at least that's what it is doing for me. Thanks for the replies!

I made a salad the other day for lunch. went a little overboard on dressing and croutons so it ended up being over 600 calories!! EEEEK!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I really appreciate it. Today is officially the last day of my first month. Just hit 199.2 on the scale! This was a huge milestone for me and I'm happy to have reached it. I like this. I've actually been doing the "Just give me 10 days" challenge here on MFP. If I think about it in…

Mine was not taking measurements at the beginning. I took them yesterday - about a month in but I wish I took them at the start too. I have tons of pictures of me fat - and some from when I was young and skinny. I actually printed them out and look at them all the time. I look at the fat pictures to remind myself of who I…

Can you do anything the expedite making lunches? Are the kiddos old enough to stay home for 30 minutes? Do you have a significant other that can help? They could do their homework on their own while you bike ride and then you could check it when you get home. I know how hard it is. I'm a working mom too. Most days when I…

Oh I agree. The custard is great. And it doesn't sit as heavy as the meal I just had.

I don't bullet journal but I do use a planner that is "decorative". The easiest way I can describe it is that it's like planning and scrap booking mixed together. Yes I use stickers. Yes I use washi tape. Others may think it's silly but I love it. It's almost like a functional hobby.

@NorthCascades I think it's a hybrid. Definitely had wind in my face for a good part of my ride.

I was just coming here to ask the same question. Rode my bike around the neighborhood for 52 minutes today. Average pace 11.7 mph. Miles = 10.1. MFP wanted to give me 500 ish calories burned but Strava told me 253. I only logged the 253 because it sounds more realistic. I don't understand why MFP always inflates the…

Just want to say a "thank you" to everyone who has been encouraging about me getting into the 100s. I'm so close I know I can make it! Your support means a lot to me! THANK YOU
