When you tried and failed , how long did you try? How much are you drinking per day? I used to have over 40 oz of Diet Coke per day, and even more at the movies. Over a month or so, cut back to where it was just 1-12oz every other day and then 1-12 oz per week (unless at movies). Now I'm to the point where I'll just drink…

Facebook is NOT the place for that sort of discussion. The information could be around for your lifetime and future employers especially are getting more savvy at looking for this sort of information. Don't put out there what you don't what the whole world to know about -- and remember about. Be cautioned that it may never…

You look healthy, fit and HOT! Wowsa. My mom and I were talking about lifting and I haven;t been ready to do any weight training. Nows a good time as any and seeing your results is great motivation. Happy to see your success and read your story,

I've thrown out enough frozen bacon over the years, that 'm going to ask... How do you store your bacon? As a single gal, I'm only have 2-3 slices in one sitting and probably not more than once/week. Its a huge PITA the try to peel off frozen together bacon slices. How do you store it? Separate and store servings in…

I agree with agusia. I use my HRM during exercise to get a better estimate of calories burned, but wear the FitBit all day and night to gauge estimated calorie burn. I have the Ultra.

Turkey meatloaf. This variety has lots of veggies and great flavor. Makes 5 servings. 1 lbs lean ground turkey (last time i made it i had 20 oz turkey 1/2 cup oats 2 cloves of garlic 1/2 cup green peppers, chopped 1/2 cup red peppers, chopped 1 egg 1 teaspoon evoo 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup carrots, chopped 1 cup zucchini,…

bump for later reading. I binge occasionally. Live by myself, so no one to own up to. Maybe nutritionist -- will find out in a few weeks. I DO log it on here though, whereas before I might used to have.

About 5 1/2 lbs.

My diary is open, have at it.

I was the opposite, couldn't eat enough. It is very easy to get wrapped up in the grief and push all/everyone else aside. Make sure you DO eat and with that, healthy food. Walking helped, especially on pretty forest paths or along a serene river. Helps keep your mind clear, and offers good chance to talk with other family.…

, Same here. A loss of 'only' 0.6 lbs this week when I'm normally 1+ lb, but it's part of life and part of the tracking. The good, bad, ugly -- it's a progress chart and in 6-9 months I see not a straight line but a sloping curve on the report :)

I really urge you to see a nutritionist. I glanced at your diary for the past 2 weeks. Many of the days you were at or well over 2500mg sodium, which can be a factor in the bloat in your belly. And with the diabetes, aren't you supposed to limit the amount of sugar you take in? Work with the nutritionist to find that…

Deep breath. Your scale says you gained 4 lbs. OK - weight fluctuates every day, all the time. During that binge period how many calories did you eat? Did you track it? How much sodium? For 4 lbs of FAT you'd have needed 14,000(!!!) calories in excess. That's about 12 medium pizzas. I doubt you ate that much, so some of…

Add them to your cereal Eat w/ green beans

Agree with Rehobobound. The fitBit when tied in with MFP uses the activity level here as your goal for calorie burn. Somehow it detects activity as light, fairly, or very active (especially when working out). I've not found that it ties in w/ my Polar HRM. I still key food and exercise into MFP. Once FitBit is tied to MFP…

When you're searching, lookg for Sainbury. There's alot in there!

To me, consistency doesn't mean same time. It means doing it, no matter what time. Some people will say for 5+ days "I don't have time". That's not being consistent. If your goal is to work out 4 times/week, then make the time to do that. Be consistent, but it doesn't have to be the same time each time, just so you do it.
-
For at least the last 2 weeks you've been at or over your sodium. Maybe /that/ is causing the cravings, and not the exercise? Try cutting back your sodium in general, keeping it under 2000mg/day and see how it goes.

3 oz Tri-color rotini w/ a cup of peas, 1/4 cup of shredded mozarella and a dash of Mrs Dash garlic and herb seasoning. Yum!
-
Exactly! OP clearly isn't ready for one -- else they would get it. I don't consider mine a 'fad' thing and in fact they're mostly covered -- but I know they're there and can look whenever I want. I'd like another -- but haven't found a design/location that I would want for the rest of my life. Someday the right one may…

#1 it should be 0, which means you ate your goal. #2 don't think so, as it goes by the MFP week Mon-Sun

I think they only things I don't log regularly are certain spices (Mrs Dash primarily) and the little bits of grated parmesan I put on steamed veggies and pasta. Those few sprinkles probably about to 15 calories and a little bit of sodium, but without measuring -- not like I'm going to bust my gut. Oh and the olive oil /…

Maybe the Polar isn't compatible with the exercise eq you're using? Just use the watch for the calorie burn -- it's all dependent on your heart rate. RE: the underwire. I honestly don't know. My sporta bra isnt underwire and I've not worn it when I'm not exercising. Test it out while not exercising though just to see if…
-
First I'd like to ask, what do you mean 'program your info'? Is that not done already at the time you set up the watch? Wet the 2 parts of the strap that goes and measures your heart rate, but ideally not the rest of of the strap. Then attach the sensor. THAT shouldn't be wet. I put mine under my sports bra, right under my…

I don't deprive myself of much. Going from eating all junk food for after noon snack, to not being hungry for dinner, then all junk food for evening snack -- to having 3 BALANCED meals most days, yet still splurging on popcorn once/week or so keeps me going. I am losing the weight slowly -- no race here -- I gained over…

What are your numbers? 1 lb = 3500 calories. So if MFP is recommending you eat 2100 calories/day to lose X lbs/week, that's your start. If you're adding in exercise and NOT eating those calories, that's an extra 1000+/day or 2 lbs/week at least. So assuming you told MFP 2 lbs week, add in your exercise deficit (you reallys…

NEed to look for fresh cuts, and not pre-prepared. They are relatively low in sodium. Tomatoes? Look for the canned items that say no sodium added. Del Monte is what I usually get I think for diced tomatoes. One piece of meat I'm thawing out is Hatfield premium cut pork tenderloin. It is 8 servings or so, 90 mg/sodium per…

Feel free to look at recent entries on my diary for suggestions. Frozen veggies for sure, check the label for the low sodium. Hanover brand is great. Meats -- use Mrs Dash instead of salt for seasoning. Use other spices too for seasoning. Watch out for the processed foods, cold cuts, certain cereals, snacks. It's not too…

MrColta -- 1375 RMR means 1375 is the minimum you should be eating. It's what you body needs to fuel itself to do its functions. With daily movement, exercise and living -- your caloric needs are higher. Figure out your TDEE and eat somewhere btwn your RMR and TDEE.

I *am* William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
