  • Just checked out the Bodymedia Fit, looks like its functionality is very similar to the Fitbit, I would end up not using it though as that armband would drive me nuts. With my fitbit I throw it in my pocket and go, I don't even know I'm wearing it, and have compared the results to my HRM I wear for spinning and the two are…
  • Your body doesn't stop burning calories at midnight, it's a 24 hour burn, stay whithin your allowance and you'll be fine.
  • I didn't have as much to lose but dropped 20 pounds in the first month just from diet change and exercise, then my weightloss stabilized. I wouldn't worry about it, if you are eating healthy an feeling healthy just keep on what you are doing, it's a marathon not a sprint.
  • Great attitude m doubleya.
  • Realistically, look at this in the long term. Is going over one day going to cause a sudden increase in weight, nooooooo, just endeavor to do better tomorrow. We all have slack days, yesterday I only did 45 minutes on my bike ( slacker) but today I worked out twice as hard. Just relax, savor the pizza, get up tomorrow and…
  • Lol....one more addendum...I'm not promoting doing what I'm doing, I am not intending to run that much of a deficiency, I just physically can't eat any more, just make sure your numbers are correct and you aren't over estimating, and what I have always done is to try and at least be a few hundred calories less than my…
  • I am a little concerned though, unless you are doing major exercise your numbers seem too high. I'm a 6'1" male, around 220, do 90 minutes a day on a spin bike, plus weights and even though my Fitbit/MFP adjustment tells me I need to consume 3800 calories to keep my 2lb per week weightloss, even eating all day I can only…
  • If your numbers are correct if you burned another 108 calories right now or over the next little while you will still be on course for your original weightloss goal.
  • Moderation and some exercise is the key, but, it's also boring, people want WOW!!! A book called eat veggies and go for a walk would sit on the bookstore shelves and turn to dust, while, the eat all the meat you want while drinking powerful delicious weightloss smoothies and lose 50 pounds in two weeks will fly off the…
  • You just said it yourself, you did not want to take the advice that people were giving you, and then you say thats just what I do. The old adage states, keep doing the same thing keep expecting the same results. Just saying I want something doesnt make it so, nobody is going to be able to give you any useful tips without…
  • Then both you and deadvim have issues with gluten, I and many many others don't, and your sarcasm is unnecessary and uncalled for deadvim. At least try to be on point with sarcasm, it was stated unless your doctor, or are you self prescribing for yourself?
  • Don't take this the wrong way, but your question reads like you are looking for that one little miracle trick that will turn it all around. And saying you closed your diary due to criticism tells me you don't really want honest advice, only what is going to suit what you think is right. My advice would be open your diary…
  • Unless you've been told by your doctor to cut out wheat for some medical reason there is absolutely no benefit to not eating it, despite what some of the nutjobs will tell you.
  • @msperkey Just a question, why did you replace a fitbit with a relatively simple pedometer?
  • Is this any different than getting a facelift? Nose job? Tummy tuck?. All elective surgeries, all pose some risk to life, those others are not frowned upon, so why this one? If someone wants to eat ridiculously small portions the rest of their lives then so be it. I do agree though that being proud of your accomplishment…
  • Not much of a bread eater at the best of times, but since I have changed up my diet I have pretty much gotten rid of risen bread. I still use whole wheat wraps and Ryvita dry bread. I just found a lot of the stuff we are tempted to put on and in bread really wasn't the healthiest of choices and b deleting it from my diet…
  • I think you mean the hustle.....do the hustle
  • I was wondering the same thing, there is no hypertext around the word when people use it so there is no functionality to it, so what gives.
  • Just went back a month, your fat consumption is just fine. Your diet looks healthy, I have noticed you haven't logged any exercise recently, and as you stated have missed some days. Has you activity level dropped by any chance? And if you only have 2.2 pounds to lose it kinda means you are already there. You more than…
  • Just wondering why you have eliminated gluten from your diet? Have you been diagnosed with celiacs disease?, if not get those wheat products back in your diet, they are great for calories.
  • Quite honestly unless you open your diary there isn't enough information here to even hazard a guess.
  • Not a thing, massive workout, great healthy food, perfect day.
  • @aventuria For the drinking a lot part, would you reccomend beer or vodka, either one helps me forget about food....lol....jk
  • Before I started working out again I had to do this once in a while, if I was craving , let's say pizza for instance and I wanted to keep within my 1480 calorie goal I would not eat until pizza time. A lot of people are going to come on here and start pontificating about that's evil, wrong, dangerous, unhealthy, blah,…
  • I've been sort of wondering some thing myself. With my workouts now MFP is saying I should be eating 3800 calories to maintain my 2 pound per week loss, but unless I start eating junk there is just no way in hell I'm getting to 3800 calories, I topped out today at 2161 and ate a lot of food. I realize this is far from…
  • Great article, another myth debunked, maybe....lol
  • I'm starting to feel like a broken record a bit here because I'm telling everyone the same thing...lol Get a Fitbit Ultra or one of the other high tech pedometer gadgets. They will track all of your exercise, whether working out or walking the dog, that way there is no guessing. It's been a godsend to me, I knw every day…
  • Try and hit the gym everyday, it will battle some of those vacation pounds you are almost certain to put on. But most if all, relax and have fun, you've earned it.
  • If you keep eating the way you are you will lose weight, and I agree with the other poster, light cardio to start.
