I just manually entered my Fitbit calories into my MFP account and they automatically synced into my Fitbit.. Wonder why it isn't working from Fitbit to MFP, but is working from MFP to Fitbit. Strange.

Glad I'm not the only one. Noticed it late last night too

I have been followimg this routine. It also provides a meal plan to follow. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-easons-livefit-introduction.html

Thank you for the reminder. I am still so hung up on what the scales says. I also started MFP in January and lost 29lbs by March 17th while focusing my workouts on cardio only. On March 18th, I started a 12 weeks weight training program and have only lost and additional 8 pounds. BUT I too see the muscles in my arms,…

The Bodymedia Fit is a great device and does have Bluetooth, but you have to pay a monthly service fee to retrieve and sync the date it collects...... :(

I've learned how many calories there reallly are in foods I was eating. I've learned what a serving size really is. AND I've learned I can eat ANYTHING I want. Some days I just have to work a little harder for them!

I love pizza and if I want some I have it. You shouldn't feel guilty about anything you enjoy eating. Don't deprive yourself of anything. That is why so many "diets" fail. This isn't a diet, it is a lifestyle change. Enjoy!

Thank YOU!

Quick question. What is NSV? I have seen it many times on here and can't figure out what it means. Thank you.

Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work. Having a very large weight loss goal can be overwhelming. You definately have the right idea about achieving smaller goals, It does make the weight loss journey seem much more attainable. You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing your story. Keep us posted of your progress.…

For me age is only a number, however, I will be 41 in May. Although I am probablly less fit & healthy than I was when I was younger. I actually feel younger now. than I did when I was in my 30's Since I am not getting any younger and I am at high risk for diabetes, I decided to get healthy!. Having a nice, lean, toned body…

^^This, except I do not have this scale.

I'm with you. I started using MFP nearly 8 weeks ago. In the first 5 weeks I lost 12.2 pounds. I have also lost inches (although I don't know how many because I didn't measure, but I am down a pant size). In the 6th week I gained.4, and last week I lost .2 pounds. I, like you, and nowhere near my target weight, I work out…

I feel your pain. I started MFP 7 weeks ago. In the first 5 weeks I lost 12.2 pounds. The last few weeks I added weight training to my workouts. Last week I had a GAIN of .4 pounds and only a loss of .2 pounds this week all the while meeting my calorie defict and eating back most of my exercise calories. It is…

I also go to Planet Fitness. I really like it. It has everything I need, the staff is friendly and helpful,and the facility is kept clean. Ours just began offering free training sessions as well. They do have pizza day, but only on the first monday of every month from 5-8p. If you are exercising, why shouldn't you enjoy…

I also weigh myself every morning. I don't get too upset if the number doesn't change or even goes up, except on Wednesday. Whatever the scale says Wednesday morning that is what I log. Although I have been working out with weights the last couple of weeks I actually gained last week, I am kind of dreading tomorrow. I know…

You look amazing. Congratuations!

This. I also am 5' 7", starting weight of 195. My goal weight is also a toned, sculpted 140. My biggest trouble spot is of course belly fat. Any suggestions. You look AMAZING. Congratulations.

Bump. Some of these recipes sound so good. :smile:

When people add an "S on the end of a word that shouldn't be there. FordS, K-MartS, Wal-MartS, TargetS, So and so works at Fords.... When I was at Targets....K-Marts has.....

I log my food as I eat it. Same with exercise, I weigh myself every Wednseday morning and log it at that time. I have read that some members log entire day at one time, some log their entire diary once a week. Some people weigh in every two weeks, and others only once a month. There are some that don't weigh at all, and…

All good suggestions. Also, there is a "recipe" seciton on the message boards here, if you get a chance, check it out.

CROCK POT!!!!! Use it often. There are lots of healthy recipes availiable. I also work 40 hours a week, and find it hard to make healthy meals every day and still find time to exercise and spend time with the family. Here is a recipe that was just posted on here this morning: CREAMY CHICKEN TACO SOUP (SERVES 6) 2 frozen…

I have recently discovered Quinoa. I will definately give these a try! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds delish. I think I will top mine with some salsa!

My diary is open if you would like to add me, although most days it is pretty boring.

I barely sweat at the gym. My underarms and he hair at the back of my neck get damp, meanwhile my husband can drench a shirt.

OMG...I have that website up right now looking at "Your Top 4 Female Muscle Building Plans" (for the 40+ age group). Although none of them are with Kris, there is a 12 week Tone & Define program and LiveFit program, both with Jamie Eason. They both look good, any suggestions!!! BTW, great job on your progress!

Congratulations! You look amazing! We often need to be reminded that muscle weighs more than fat. So rather that focus on what the scale says, we should focus on our measurements. I fall into this category of women trying to lose weight, we all want immediate results. And while it seems so good to see the number on the…
