Thanks for the info. I've been having problems with fitbit quite often lately and I suspected they may be down today. My problem lately has been with the sync button not working half the time. I end up having to go to my phone in order to sync. I turn of bluetooth on my computer and turn it on on my phone and sync that…

Thanks, CBeansMom, I have been doing research. Lots of articles, TED talks etc. that support IF so I'm giving it a try. Easier for me for the last few weeks so maybe easier to stick with in the long run.

My take away from Dr. Fung and others with intermittent fasting is that they claim it is easier to not regain the weight if you get your insulin under control (get rid of insulin resistance) by using the fasting method. As far as debunking Fung, I don't know since I've only started to listen to the info on IF, but what I…

Watch this youtube video. Start at 8 minutes in and you'll skip a lot of preamble. Not saying you're wrong but just showing some current studies. Also don't know how legit Jason Fung is re: his theories but his argument for "The Calorie Deception" is also below. If you've done it for 3 years, then you have found what is…

This is a good podcast on why the calorie in/calorie out method doesn't work for everyone and why fasting can resolve the problem and make it easier to lose and maintain weight loss in the long term. https://obesitycodepodcast.com/listen/

I am aware that scientific studies can skew in either direction in many cases but for those in doubt about the research done on IF, there is an explanation why a calories are not as important as we are lead to believe when it comes to principles behind fasting. On the diet that advised 6 small meals a day, or regular diet…

I posted by mistake and it won't let me delete. Dumb.

You would not rather be fat. Look at your banner. You will not let yourself down again. I am starting over after doing what you are ranting about. I lost half my goal weight and then gave up and slowly gained it all back. Now I am starting over again and only 1/4 of the way down to my first goal. Ughh. Look at this as a…

I had the same problem when I started using mapmyfitness. It just wouldn't sync to myfitness pal. Then I realized that you have to put your weight info into the app in order for it to calculate the calories. Doesn't make much sense, because all the other details go from myfitness pal to map my fitness, but that was exactly…

recalculating! (no way to delete?)

burp, I mean bump. scuse me.

can I eat back my exercise calories in bacon cupcakes??

I'm almost always over on protein and under on carbs. I feel like I'm making good choices most of the time so I don't mind the over/under. I don't eat hardly any bread and avoid gluten which cuts the carbs. I think you are fine unless as someone above said, you feel you need more energy. You should do well.

bump and thanks.

bananas are one of the foods you should never.....jk. . BUMP can't wait to try.

Q-tip (I knew that looked wrong, lol)

"HINTS FROM HELOISE -- White iodine will rebuild nail strength A daily application of white iodine on your fingernails for one week will help strengthen them. After the first week, use only once a week. This is not a case of more is better; do not continue to use white iodine on your fingernails every day, or they will…

I read to paint them with clear iodine. I got some at the Walgreens here in MD. Google it. Here is one link I just found quickly. I used it for a while and I think it helped. My nails are strong right now but I have a problem with them once I start using polish. It always weakens them and they end up a mess again.…

Incredibly inspiring. Congratulations. You look great and your pics are very motivating. Thanks for sharing.

I got Wii Zumba 2 for Christmas. I love it. Great workout. I never use Wii Fit anymore unless it is just for playing around. Never use it for weight loss. I do use Wii "My fitness coach" which gives a lot of good workouts but is way less fun than Zumba and has some annoying features, like no cueing on the floor exercises…

Best one yet! haha I did something similar when I was a teen, or maybe about 20. I told a joke I thought was funny but I had no clue what it meant. It was, "save a tree, eat a beaver". I told it in mixed company. I had no IDEA what it meant. I thought it was literally what it said. Open mouth, insert foot. When I was a…

You can download hypnosis weight loss recordings to your IPod or Mp3 player. I bought one from ITunes for $9.99 and one from Amazon for $.99. Both had testimonials where people swore it worked for them. I personally am not sure if I can be hypnotized. I used to listen to them at night before falling asleep. I followed the…

I need to read this when I get a minute. sounds interesting. I agree with you Rebekah, even before reading. Those with diagnosed Alz have much bigger things to worry about that nicotine. If anything can help, I know I would be willing to try it and I think most people would welcome anything that showed promise and wasn't…

I've read opinions (not saying they are true) that you shouldn't eat 3 hours before bed. Your body supposedly goes into the highest fat burning mode when you have not eaten for 11 hours. 11 is the magic number apparently, so if you sleep 8 hours and don't eat for 3 hrs before bed, you will hit that magic 11 hour mark.…

I've tried most of the fruit add ins above, nuts, peanut butter, but the other day I was out of fruits I usu,ally add so I drained one of those single servings cups of diced peaches and added that to my oatmeal. It was really tasty. Reminded me off the flavored peaches and cream oatmeal but I used Nature's Promise Organic…

that guess was for Natalie not LButterfly. LButterly, you must have posted while I was typing. My guess for you would be 25.

33?

WOW! Watching part 1. Those girls are sad. To lose ten lbs you would use a tapeworm. Unbelievable! They need some serious counselling. they should be on Dr. Phil instead of Tyra. OMG.
