I don't usually have a problem with it, but have been for the last two days. Don't know what the issue is.

There are some very supportive people on here. I hope you find everything you are looking for and then some. Welcome and good luck on your journey. :flowerforyou:

Babybirdganz' 9. I want a flat tummy like that! :)

In Aug my best friend and I will celebrate our 31st anniversary. Looking forward to the next 31.:love:

I would love to join for the rest of this challenge. I am setting my June 1st goal weight as 160, which is around a 15 pound weight loss. I'm really hoping to beat that goal...but we'll see. Here we go!!!

Be very careful with this one....First, she has to find her motivation and choose to make the changes for herself. No one else can do that for her no matter how much they want it for her and how much their motives for wanting it come from love and concern. For many of us, words and actions from our spouse of SO that they…

I usually drink 1-3 cups per day and really do not notice any difference on days I drink it and days i don't. I have however read several studies that say it boosts your focus, memory, concentration and is believed to help prevent Alzhiemers. Don't know how true that is....you know how every couple of years there's a new…

No, absolutely not. I have nothing to hide, so would have no problem logging on and letting them look or letting them friend me so they can look, but I would never give up my passwords. I hold a management position at my job, so feel that I can see this from both perspectives and still feel that this is going too far.

I lost weight first and am now begining to focus more on toning and gaining muscle while I work on losing some more fat. Your results will depend on just how hard you are working out, what you are eating, etc. Don't focus too much on the scale, instead look for other ways to measure your success such as taking body…

Ahhh, the old weight of muscle vs the weight of fat debate rears it's head again.... To say muscle does not weigh more than fat would be like saying steel does not weigh more than aluminum foil. Obviously a pound is a pound is a pound, but it takes a whole lot larger piece of aluminum foil to equal a pound than it does…

Congrats on the weight loss so far. If you see a change in how your clothes fit, then it is noticable in that way if nothing else. Some body types take longer to show the loss than others. There are a few things that I have done recently to be able to see the difference....first, I have started taking measurements once a…

If you are hungry, eat....Just make good choices. If you are excercising you should be able to go over the 1200 calories per day anyway. If you can not make the changes you are making fit realtively comfortably into your lifestyle, they will be difficult to maintain. Good luck on your journey. You can do this!

No gym membership for me...down 47 pounds and counting.

Walk, dance, wii, work out with resistance bands, wrist and ankle weights, workout videos, swimming, mini exercise routines (kinda like we used to do at the start of gym class)....lots of options, and I interchange and utilize all of these and more. The variety keeps me from getting bored. The gym just does not fit into my…

1. I ate three mini snickers bars tonight and logged them as quick calories to avoid negative comments. 2. Although I mostly like my job, there are days I absolutely hate it. 3. I am very stubborn and bull headed....ok, maybe not so much of a secret to those who know me.... but I do try hard to bite my tongue and keep…

I guess I just view MFP as a tool for me to set and monitor my personal goals and track my progress. It's nice to hear from friends occassionally, but at almost 50 years old, I don't need another parent bird dogging my efforts and being critical about every morsel I put in my mouth. I am accountable to myself and most…

Been using mine a little over a month now and love it!! Give it a try, you will not regret the investment.

Goal = 10,000 steps per day 3/3 ---- 11,517 steps 3/4 ---- 10,788 steps

Not at all

I switch off all the time to add variety, some full fat some low fat, just depends on how many calories I have to play with. If I add fruit (diced apples, rasins, etc) to my salad, I like to use a raspberry vinaigrette. Marie's and the Kraft Light both have similar fat and calorie contents. I have tried a couple of the…

Ooh forgot to report todays total... 11,517. :happy:

I use my fitbit to track steps. My goal is 10,000 per day, so that is what I'll reports. Thanks for this. :smile:

I've had mine for a little over a month and also love it. I feel that it gives me too much credit for excercise calories, but I just make sure I don't eat all of them back. It keeps me focused and aware of my activity level as much as MFP keeps me aware of my calorie consumption. I usually push for at least 10000 steps a…
