Andrew Laidlaw? Your pictures don't look the same.

It's all preference. I prefer treadmill most of the time. I mounted a TV in front of mine, put something like YouTube or Netflix on, and just do an hour or so. Time flies for me. Every once in awhile, I'll do outside... but I really prefer treadmill.

I have a Fitbit One, and have had a Fitbit Ultra. They were both good, and the only reason to get the Flex over the One is if you want sleep tracking. As far as step/calorie/distance/calorie tracking... the One is much better... lasts 6 months on a watch battery, and like BeckyD1105 said, it is much smaller and easier to…

My end game is to feel better about how I look. When I hit 150-155, I felt I looked good, and felt good about it. I also planned on actually working on strength and muscle after I got to the weight I wanted to be, and be able to add on weight if necessary at that point. It always seems way easier to gain weight, than to…

I appreciate all the advice, but I'm having a hard time understanding how increasing my calorie intake is going to help me lose weight. I understand it might be healthier, but is it actually going to help me lose weight, or is it going to slow down the weight loss? I assumed the larger the calorie deficit, the better the…

I'm going by the MFP recommendations. I am ~180, wanting to get to 150. I have been there before, but gained it all back over the last year when I stopped exercising and being at all concious of my eating. MFP recommends 1240/day to lose 2 lbs/week currently.

> Oh my gosh! How do you run on so little fuel? Are you sure you're getting enough nutrients from your diet? I mean no disrespect, but I was shocked to see how little you're eating. Maybe you just need more food? > is 3.3 miles in 30 minutes normal for you? Or were you really pushing yourself to hit that? > Your diary…

Yeah, I was kinda wondering if that was it. I didn't even realize how much I took in until I looked at the diary. Damned Olive Garden! Makes sense though. Thanks for the advice. Sodium is my enemy!

Feel free to look at mine. I usually end up being a little under it most of the time.

I can definitely agree with that in general, but in the specific case of chocolate, I have to assume taste was a definite motivating factor. :smile:

I don't want this to sound harsh, but take responsibility for it. None of this, "I didn't realize I was doing it until it was too late." stuff. You did realize it, you aren't a weird zombie, you just chose not to stop because it tasted good. I have done the same thing, usually with some form of potato/nacho chips. Until I…
