I don't eat back all of my calories, but my .95 mi ride was hardly strenuous. I rode around the block, coasted down hill, etc. I used a regular calorie tracker to compare and it said I burned 37 calories. Map My Ride gave me 20 more calories. Over a longer time and more distance, that amounts to quite a difference.

I get between 450-650 calories from Fitbit steps. I usually do 12,000 - 16,000 steps. I eat back most of them and I'm losing.

I try to get between 12,000 and 18,000. It gives me 450-650 calories extra to eat.

Thank you all for your support. You have lifted me from my gloomies. While I intended to carry on my weight loss journey, it was nonetheless disturbing to hear a negative comment. I truly appreciate your support. It means a lot (especially since my stomach is still really big). Thanks everyone.

She was responding to him when he commented on my weight loss.

I was also a horrible middle of the night eater. Sometimes I still am. In order to fall back to sleep, sometimes it's as simple as a glass of water, but sometimes I snack on cucumbers or have a glass of unsweetened almond milk (30 calories).

Yesterday. Well, it wasn't really a binge, just overeating. It was my 68th birthday and Hubby made boiled shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. I don't really know how many shrimp I ate, but it was over a pound and I dipped each shrimp in butter. Plus, I had numerous beers. I tried to estimate calories and THINK, I was at…

Great Progress!

I guess many of us started at our heaviest. I, too, was at my heaviest 61 days ago and have lost 14.2 lbs. I wish all of you success in your new journey.

It took me about 65 days to lose 15 lbs and that also included the initial water weight drop.

I don't know how much you smoke, but I read that you have to eat about 100 calories less per day (or exercise) to offset the decrease in your metabolism. I'm sure there's info on the web about this.

I try to get between 12,000-16,000 steps a day. It takes me a good portion of the day because I do it in little bits. I have a Fitbit Alta (not a HRM), which buzzes every hour for me to get 250 steps. However, every hour I try to get at least 1000 steps. When I want to get those steps over with, I jog frantically in place,…

Sometimes during the night I wake up thirsty or hungry, so I keep a bottle of water by my bed. If I drink a lot, I will sometimes weigh more in the morning.

Walking is my primary form of exercise. I mostly walk around the house, my driveway, out to the mailbox, etc. Frequently I jog in place in front of the TV. I try to get a least 15,000 steps per day. I've lost 14.2 pounds in 60 days.

Also - one thing I do is press lightly on one side to see if it's level. It should be stable and not wobble.

I use spaghetti squash rather than noodles. Much less calories.

I do both. I restrict my carbs to 50-75 per day because I'm pre-diabetic. I use CICO for weight loss.

I was in a similar situation when we came north after our winter in Florida. On my personal calendar I noted "NY scale" and then my weight. When we return to Florida next week and I have my Florida scale, I'll just note, "Fl scale" on my personal calendar. Regarding MFP, I log the weight that it is.

How about peanut butter?

Fish and chips with lots of tartar sauce and catsup or Boardwalk fries with vinegar and lots of catsup.

I'll be 68 on 9/23.

I get this - I posted a couple of months ago when I first started that my big belly belly felt hard. Now after almost 2 months, it's starting to feel squishy. I love it.

Tough. When the kids are sleeping might be the time you and your wife need to spend together, even if it's just watching TV or movies. I think it would be awkward for you to make an escape to the gym as soon as kids fall asleep, leaving your wife alone. I like the idea (if you can afford it) of purchasing some weights or…

Some painkillers, especially ibuprofen and other nsaids cause water retention.

I want to lose 3 lbs in 2 weeks.
-
Me too, though like CMNVA, gone a few hours later.

I weigh everyday and record my weight on a personal calendar. However, I only record my losses on MFP.

Hubby and I are both trying to lose weight. Just today, Hubby made a chicken recipe called, "Cornell Chicken". It's an awesomely delicious recipe and one we've made in the past. The marinade was 2 cups of vinegar, a cup of oil and a tbl of salt. I don't know what make us think it was harmless, after all, it was chicken.…
