Add me too please!

I'm in the same boat. I'd love to get back on track and have friends here. Anyone can feel free to add me.

I think I need good bike. But I think you're right. Maybe biking would be more enjoyable than running.

My husband and I quit together 3.5 weeks ago. It's really hard. We decided not to have any alcohol during these beginning stages as well because we would want to have a smoke to go along with a drink. It's been hard and he's been way more cranky than me, but we're getting through it. We both use hard candies and gum (sugar…

This time I truly vowed to stop the yo-yo weight issues by not just being here and logging, but seeking help from my doctor. I was at 218 lbs at my heaviest. From there I went to 144 lbs. But I didn't do it the right way so I had no problem going right back up to 185 lbs. Once again I got down to 142 lbs, but once again, I…

Once I found my TDEE goals, it made my life so much easier. And I don't feel like I'm on a diet. It's just my new way of eating. Take a look: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/

Well done! I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. Your story brought tears to my eyes. Congrats on your baby on the way!

Me too! I love having active friends here!!!

Friend request sent! Thanks for the info!

Add me too :)

So I sit at a desk most of the day. I know I did not move 620 steps in 2 hours. Should I not wear the wrist watch and clip it to my shirt instead? Does my arm movement mess with it?

This really helps! Thanks for taking the time to send me so much feedback. I have the Samsung Note 4 so I'm pretty sure my app isn't as great as yours (from what I've read). But I'm hoping this will help me lose my last 20 lbs. Good luck to you!

Do you feel like MFP and Misfit are working well together? It's not like Misfit is getting a heart rate. I know it's a highly educated "guess" about calorie burn, but I'm wondering how people think it's working. I've never had anything like this before. I just realized I had to go change my settings so calories and…

I'm so happy I'm not crazy! I went to Fresh Market where you can make your own bags of different sorts of nuts. I got all unsalted or raw. But I thought I was going to get a bag that would last me the week. Ya... um... no.... I ate them in one sitting at work. But what I do like is that I can go to Fresh Market, get a…

I've dieted pretty much since I was a teenager. I can't count the number of different fads I have tried. This is the first time in my life that I have actually tried changing my eating style for the rest of my life and not called it a diet. I'm just changing. I really liked your post (I'm a weirdo for statistics). Keep up…

I sent you a request. Anyone else want to add me... feel free! I need some support too. I've been slacking lately.

I don't usually eat breakfast, but I didn't eat dinner last night so I was hungry this morning for a change. I had eggs with sauteed onions and artichoke hearts with a but of grated Parmesan cheese.

Great topic! I had no idea that this was common. I've been trying to force myself to eat and then I struggle throughout the day with a crazy appetite. I start eating my lunch around 11. I say start because I eat something around 11 and then something around 2 and then I eat dinner. This works for me. This is great! I don't…

personally i find that staying away from the trigger foods doesn't work. i've battled with this since i was 12. i may have stumbled upon something that works for me. i have a tendency to binge on sweets. i found a great brand of sugar free cookies. i have been having a serving of them every single day. just one. its like…

I loved reading this. It's such a journey and reminds me of my own (minus the appendix and the hip!). Keep up the hard work and dedication. It's inspirational. A lot of people would have thrown their hands in the air in surrender after what's happened in such a short period of time. But you've pushed through. Congrats!…

James Patterson's "Zoo". I've pretty much read every single thing he's ever written and love it all :)

My heart is breaking for you! Although you did make me laugh with your last statement :) Maybe you can do upper body stuff to keep somewhat active. My grandmother took care of someone who broker their hip. She got really strong by lifting heavy things over her head! Let's hope maybe you can get cleared for some Yoga at…

Thank you! That helps a lot!

Thank you so much. I always just thought I should be at 1200 calories, literally always. Time to rethink my caloric intake as well as my menu. I do love menu planning :)

That's it! it's not working. I'm never satisfied. Time to change it up! Thank yo :)

me too! no cravings. I'm honestly hungry. Plus I don't have a bunch of sugar anyway. Sometimes we are just hungry girls! hahaha

perfect! thanks for the laugh billsica!!!!!

I need to do this more often!! Thank you so much for reminding me :)

I did go get some whole wheat toast with some orange marmalade. That seemed to help. I had carrots before that and it just didn't do it for me. Thanks for the advice! I need to keep some peanut butter at work :)

I didn't get mine resized until they didn't stay on my finger anymore. Until that happened I hated to admit it, but I used some tape to take up some of the room. lol
