I am obsessed with mine. It has made all the difference. However, it works best for activities like running & walking, so if you are into weight lifting, biking or swimming, it wont do that much for you.

there is a whole gluten free group you should check out.

eat back your exercise calories. drink more water than you ever thought possible. Take an occasional break from exercise. Watch your salt intake. get plenty or rest. Weigh and measure your food. eat 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat....all these are things that could help.

It is all about calories in, calories out. However, there is no reason you have to always be losing. Sometimes not gaining is enough. Every 2 months, I spend a week at my maintenance goal. It gives me a break, and then I don't feel so beaten down by calories. Also, if you have been dieting for a long time, you might just…

If you are choosing an exercise from the MFP list, yes, only eat back 80%. If you are using some sort of device to track your exercise calories like a heart rate monitor, eat back all of them.

Lose slowly, incorporate resistance, hope your skin bounces back. That's all you can really do.

yep.

I would focus on inches not weight. You can gain weight, yet be smaller than you were at a lighter weight.

they count. They also keep you from burning fat.

It doesn't matter how much I eat, at 10 pm I am hungry. So I either save calories for 10pm, or I go over. I have tried extra protein, extra fiber, lots of water, none of it works. I think some people are just hungry at night. Start planning a snack before bed so you factor those calories in and don't end up eating them.

I would go get a fitting. Don't just go to a Victoria's Secret. Go to a a department store with someone who knows how to fit you.

I think this depends on whether or not you manually enter them from the database and whether or not you just let the fibit sync. If you are letting the fitbit sync, I would shoot for closer to 80%.

Are you entering in exercise or just letting your fitbit sync? If you let your fitbit sync, and then eat back your exercise calories, you should be right on target calorie wise. The only exercise you should need to manually enter is water activities where you can't wear the fitbit. I am also curious what you do for…

probably both. Loose skin is pretty thin when pinched. If you can grab it, and it feels bumpy or grainy under it, there is fat in there. Strength will help, but so will losing weight slowly. It will allow your skin to snap back faster. That being said, I have some loose skin on my arms that just sort of hangs there and…

Christina Hendricks is curvy. Technically, curvy is when there is a 10 inch difference between your waist and your hips.

I have a really hard time with the term "fat acceptance" or "fat positive". There is nothing wrong saying "yes, I am fat, but I am still a good person who deserves good things and to be treated in a kind manner, etc" but there is something wrong with saying "I am fat and I am okay with being fay". I am sorry, it is not…

I don't really know the answer to this. However, I can say that eating the 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat ratio seems to be working for me. FInally I see inches coming off, as well as a pound or two every other week. I am also starting to see changes in my body composition.

In my opinion, Duck Butter sounds like it involves the poop residue. Swap *kitten* is just an excessively moist undercarriage.

Your body wants to be in homeostasis and it will do whatever it can to get there. This is why people need to up the intensity of their work outs because our bodies adapt and burn less during the same activity. Over time your body will learn to burn less calories if you are drastically limiting your calories. That is why…

keep your trigger foods out of the house and eat more of the healthy food you can control yourself on. For example, I will eat a whole pizza, but I will only eat a serving of peanut butter. No pizza in my house, but there is a lot of peanut butter. Protein shakes are another way I add calories (with peanut butter of…

It all depends on what is normal for you. Personally, I set myself to sedentary and then log exercise. I would probably err on the side of caution and go with lightly active.

Yes. Eat your exercise calories. 1 pound a week is a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day, or 3500 calories a week. That means, if it gave you a goal of 1200 calories per day, you usually burn 1700 calories from daily activity. So, if you burn 150 additional calories, that will give you a deficit of 650 calories,…

no. Either eat your MFP goal AND your exercise calories or eat just your TDEE-20%. They actually work out to be the same when you average the numbers.

You shouldn't try to lose weight while pregnant. However, if you are obese or overweight, you may not need to gain more than 15 pounds at the most while pregnant. Women within a healthy weight range usually gain 20-40 pounds and underweight women should gain more. Once you become pregnant your doctor will tell you how much…

this. I think you should look into the If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) way of dieting. I also recommend changing your macros to 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat...or at least 30% protein and 30% fat to start with. Do you like eggs and chicken? How about fruit? I am terrible about incorporating veggies, so I usually blend…

I have the opposite problem. I wont get rid of any of my fat clothes until the literally fall off me...so I look like I am always wearing a mu-mu, and then I get up set that no one notices I have lost weight. But it is so nice to not have to squeeze into clothes.
