I'm trying something new for this... I'm allowing myself to have half of whatever treat I would have normally eaten. For example, today I feel like DEATH- I'm irritable, my chest hurts, and I wana sleep, and cry... for no reason. One of the reps at my office brought catered lunches from Panera. I ate the Classic Salad with…

I'm in the same boat. If I don't get my breakfast in then I'm going on a feeding frenzy by the time lunch comes. I have oatmeal pretty much every day. I'll mix it up with different fruits/berries. Today it was a banana and some cinnamon sprinkled on top. I don't add sugar or milk of any sort. Just the oats and fruit. Also,…

Thanks for the info. It sounds like unless its a day where i am,able to really push myself and get extra exercise there is no need to eat the extra calories. im def not starving myself,but it sounds like both fitbit and mfp over estimate calories burned.

Don't give up! I find that keeping a routine has been helping me. Baby steps... but making sure you truly log everything (don't cheat yourself) and staying true to your promises to yourself works. Counting calories sucks... but I find that it's become a bit of a game for me. Like... how many times can I say "no" and…

girl input = YES YOU DO! If someone is doing something (starving themselves) that is hurting them, you ABSOLUTELY need to be the friend that chimes in! Even if it irritated me and I thought you were raining on my parade, it would open my eyes and force me to do some research on my caloric in/out and whats truly safe and…

My nana once said to me "that must be jelly 'cus jam doesn't jiggle like that!". I think I was about 13 at the time.

You should be THANKFUL that your relationship with this JERK didn't work out!!!

Have dealt with it my whole life. Earliest memory of it in 5th grade with 2 girls pushing me against the wall of a building at school and slapping my face while they called me "fatty". Being called fat while driving my car by boys, being referred to as the "fat friend" since all my girl friends are gorgeous and naturally…

I use a larger wide-rimmed bowl. gives the oatmeal room to expand without spilling over. also, i'll stop/stir once i see it getting to the point where its about to spill over.

Oh Lord... LOL!

5'3" and just turned 30. At my heaviest after my son was born weighed 208. Brought it down to 140 after my divorce and now, a few years later, found myself back up to 187. MFP is awesome. Anyone who says they "can't" needs to spend some time reading all these stories. Since starting this journey on April 10th I'm down…

oh- on chosing your fitbit device - i chose the flex because im very absent minded and forgetful. It would be far to easy for me to forget to clip on a device that is worn as an attachment to a clothing article. my flex stays with me all the time- its shower-friendly, and it records my sleep. I LOVE THE SILENT ALARM! its…

I have the fitbit flex. i have it synced up with both MFP and RunKeeper. There is a learning curve- but there are a lot of awesome forums on here with great informaiton and really supportive and knowledgable members. I love my flex. It truly keeps me in check. There are a lot of other devices out there that probobly track…

I have the FitBit Flex. So far I love it. I have it synced with MFP and Runkeeper. I just wish that it populated more information into MFP... like my activities and whatnot. Same thing with Runkeeper... It doesnt seem to upload my activities into MFP, so I'm not sure exactly what the purpose of syncing it with my Fitbit…

We constantly have vendors and clients in and out bringing breakfast, lunch, and snacks in-between. It's TORTURE! I'm learning to "Just Say NO"... but it's truly a battle. Today we had three different meetings and lunch was catered for all three. This, of course, means there's a break-room FULL of leftover food from Fresh…

Hey all! New to this site... well signed up originally years ago and never logged in. So now its time to take things seriously! I turned 30 last month and am just tired of being uncomfortable. I have 50lbs to lose.. and then to maintain (always the hardest part for me). I started walking 2.5 miles on my lunch break 3-4 x…

5'3" and weighing in at 179! Goal weight is 130. When I started this journey 5 weeks ago (the day after my 30th birthday) I weighed in at 186. I've been using the runkeeper app for the last 5 weeks (i walk/jog 2miles 3-4x/week on my lunch break) and the fitbit flex for the last 2 weeks. I guess this site was the last piece…
