WOW....thank you everyone, I loved all the advice!!!! I did cancel the juicer and after the holidays I'm going to look into getting a Vitamix and I'm going to look for that recipe book on hiding the healthy stuff. Thanks again everyone and thanks for the advice!! Sherry Learning new stuff everyday on how to get…

I don't like eating breakfast, so I keep thinking maybe these shakes would work for me, just 1 a day at breakfast, but they are soooo darn expensive!! I think between Visalus, Shakology and Amway, the lowest price was Visalus, but maybe I missed something. Shakology and Amway were both over a hundred a month, Amway might…

Yeah...I wasn't to sure about posting for a hotel room mate, but just sad I might have to miss this 5k when I was so looking forward to it. Just so nervous about going it alone, I've never been to Pennsylvania, actually I've never been hardly anywhere at all. This was suppose to be a fun girls weekend, stay 2 - 3 days, do…

I honestly don't care about spelling, grammar or abbreviated words used on the internet or text, as long as its all in fun and not important. It really cracks me up how much people complain about it. Now, I cringe when I hear............ "Take the stairs instead of the elevator" and "park far away from the…

I never said WW didn't work. But I did have to buy EVERYTHING, I got nothing for free except a little 10 page book with some very, very basic information in it, nothing to do with points or how to figure points or how much points is in certain foods. The exact words from the gal who signed me up was......you have to buy…

Just want to comment, so I can refer back to this. Thanks, Sherry

Ok, sorry, that was more like $2.00 worth...LOL...sorry for such a long post above. Sherry

Well...guess I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. The first 80 pounds I lost, I lost doing WW at home under their old point system, I also exercised, but loved, loved, loved WW, I just couldn't afford to go to their meetings, so I went to TOPS instead. TOPS gave me the support I needed, also being weighed each week and the…

You can do it Sheila, get focused on becoming healthy and strong. I've seen so many people have surgery, but never learn how to eat properly and don't exercise, to just gain all their weight back and some are even bigger than before surgery. I've lost 115 #'s, but I'm really struggling right now and I'm sure at tomorrows…

Where can I find the Michigan discussion group? Westland/Clio here.

Thanks for the replies, I keep checking back here. I don't feel 70 is a small amount, even 20 isn't a small amount when your that person, so I know everyone with any amount of weight to lose probably understands what I'm saying and I don't want to exclude them. Just that 200 or more probably understand my frustration, but…

Thanks everyone for the replies, I can't use an elliptical, my heart rate goes up to 180 after just 3 minutes and my heart doctor doesn't want my heart rate over 160. I had a desk bike and returned it, they don't work very well and slide away as you try to pedal. I'm currently looking into a recumbent bike, just need to…

Posting so I can read later. Thanks

I like the option of having both, if I'm bored with bike riding, I have the treadmill and if I'm bored with the treadmill, I have the bike or you could do a few minutes on both. I have both, but recently my knees and feet hurt to much to use the treadmill and the type of bike I have kills my butt to use it any longer than…

I have thyroid issues, that has lead to other weight loss preventing issues, along with medications that cause weight gain and I have managed to lose 127 pounds, not easy, I have struggled counting every darn calorie and I exercise, but not a lot because of knee and feet issues. Most of the people I know that have had…

I've had a thyroid disorder for years, it sucks....along with some other health issues that cause weight gain. Its not impossible to lose weight, but you may just have to work a little harder at it. Just take care and focus on getting or staying healthy.......see...I didn't take care of myself and gained, and gained and…

And Body Bugg says as of now, they have no plans to sync with MFP, BB doesn't monitor your sleep or connect with a heart rate monitor....not to mention...BB is 9.95 a month and BMF is 6.95. So Body Media has more benefits than Body Bugg, but when I purchased my BB, I didn't know about BMF.

What is BMF? Body Media? Just wondering, cause I'm considering dropping my Body Bugg and getting a Body Media, but before I spend the money I'm trying to do a bunch of research to make sure its worth spending more money when I already have the BB.

I have considered getting a Fit Bit, but from all I've read and heard it basically just counts your steps, as does your BB. But I totally understand what your saying about the BB, as I have one, I love the BB but I'm tired of the monthly fee and now the fact it doesn't sync with MFP as does the Body Media. I'm actually…

Believe it, it happens all the time and I've quit going to gyms at times because I get tired of the rudeness. One time I had a lady follow me all over the gym saying "just tell me what you weigh, I've never seen anyone as huge as you before, what do you weigh, just tell me....omg, your so fat", I just kept ignoring her, as…

OOPS.....fixed my post and posted below.

OMG....these all cracked me up!!!! Here are mine......like someone else said....advice, when I didn't ask for it. Someone who wants to chit chat and expects me to stop what I'm doing, take out my ear buds and chat back....NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I'm there to work out, its not a social for me. And my BIGGEST pet peeve of all is when…

Ok, I just looked back on my walks with mapmywalk and with the same path they show my burn as 400 kcal burned, just like my Body Bugg. So this app seems to be under estimating my burn?? Anybody else?

Hhhhmmmm....well, I tried it out and here is what I got....Body Bugg says I burned 400 calories and Endomondo says I burned 167 kcal. So it isn't over estimating, but I don't know what kcal means versus calories on the body bugg. So confused now. I like the app, it posted right to MFP. Even though I changed running to…

Yikes, I just downloaded it today, even went for the 4.99 pro, that'll suck if it doesn't work for crap. I used to use mapmyrun and it was dead on with my BodyBugg, worked great!! But since I found out today Endomondo connects with MFP, I decided to download it onto my phone and go with it. Unfortunately its crappy weather…

And I just wanted to add, I hate the website for the BodyBugg, I never use it, only to get my calories burned....the food logging part really sucks. So it would be awesome to have my actual calories burned on MFP. Anyone who has the Body Media connected with MFP, do you like it.....does it show actual calories burned in…

Westland and Clio here!! Grew up in Clio so unfortunately I know Flint well and yes, it is I believe ranked most dangerous in the US now, its sad really.

Thanks guys, I will check out those websites. Thanks again, Sherry

I to suffer from hypothyroid and last year was a nightmare, finally seem to be medicated right, but it has to be checked monthly to keep me on the right meds......but now I have to switch doctors so I'm a little worried my new doctor won't keep on top of it. I get tired of people saying, because I have a lot of weight to…
