  • Ditto on this! I lost on the old system, then when they changed it, I wasn't losing.... I just recently got rid of my old "slider". I'm much happier on MFP, and have made quite a few friends, and it doesn't cost me any $$. And now, instead of knowing the points for foods, I know the calories (right around the calories) and…
  • 4 weeks for you to notice, 8 weeks for friends, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world.
  • I'm curious too... I've just started a couch to 5k app... I'll be doing week 2 day three tonight.... I'm just wanting to be able to jog/run whatever for at least a mile a time.... It's something I've dreamed about, and decided, I'm going to do it. I did find this site, that has some differences...…
  • I take my shoes off as soon as I walk in the door. I have a shoe bin by the front door too. The kids take their shoes off, and most times the husband does. I take my shoes off automatically when I enter another house. I don't demand people take their shoes off when they enter my house. I truthfully don't care either way, I…
  • Before you take a bite of anything, track it. So, you are gaming, and grab a snack, stop, and put it into your tracker first, then eat it. If you make sure you are tracking before you eat anything, you will break the 'mindless eating' cycle. good luck.
  • I have a water bottle by me, and drink my water instead... You could also take up crocheting. :D
  • I want to get two geisha's on either side of the cherry blossom tree that I have on my back, from shoulder blades town to waist, in alternating color kimonos.
  • Down your spine on your back would look awesome!!
  • I tell my husband, He HAS to HIDE it. He can eat it, that is fine. But it has to be out of my sight. And I keep the healthier snacks around in view, fruits, yogurt, nuts. I also convince him to get the bad foods I don't like, that he likes. I also let him know, if he doesn't hide or get things I don't like, then I will…
  • Okay, so, I don't actually use this app, but from what I can tell, it looks really cool. :D I may have to see if I can get it on Android market. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/map-my-fitness-workout-trainer/id298903147?mt=8
  • I buy for my nieces and nephew, but there are three in total. I was struggling with the thought this year, my oldest son is 18, and a freshman in college (okay, so my husbands oldest, I just claim him as my own), with when does he get dropped off the gift tag name... and the Christmas card? I'm guessing when he is on his…
  • Have you tried going to a thrift store? We have one by us called Savers, that is pretty nice. That way, you can try on multiple brands at once, and they are cheap, so you aren't spending too much for a pair of jeans that you will shrink out of in a few months. Then just re-donate them back when you shrink out of them. That…
  • Thanks! I'll check that out. I just figured she was a B...
  • I had a personal trainer (got 3 sessions for free once) tell me that you need to work more on cardio, and burning fat, than gaining muscle... or you look bigger, since you have bigger muscles, under the layer of fat.
  • Check your "goals" section on MFP... you may need to just open it, and make sure you have the right stuff clicked... for some-reason, my calorie goals dont go down, unless I open it... you eat less and you weigh less. Also, do you eat back all the calories that you exercise? try cutting back on the eating back some... Hope…
  • Similar boat here! I started on 10/4/13, again... just hoping this will be the LAST time I diet to lose weight! I get on everyday. And am trying to add more friends with similar weight to lose, or have lost. Please feel free to add me! (anyone for that matter, the more cheerleaders the merrier!) :D
