  • That stuff or any quick fix is a big fraud, diet and exercise is the only way to go.
  • HRM polar f4 with a chest strap, paid about $65 with free shipping, I love mine.
  • I tried this but could not stand the taste, I take the capsules and i think it helps also helps with digestion.
  • Buy a Polar heart rate monitor, MFP exercise calories can be off as much as 300 calories. i eat back my exercise calories also, but sometimes give it a little wiggle room and leave a 100 deficit.
  • I had back surgery and could not exercise and still lost weight but I had to eat just 1200 calories a day and that is tough. I just started back riding my bike at a very slow pace, but I get to eat an extra 183 calories yeah!
  • I eat carbs when ever I want. I am still losing weight. I am always over my carb limits but under my fat limits and I do alot of cardio. I think if you dont eat carbs you will be hungry. I do not eat bread or pasta either.
  • I dont cook either. Also I am a vegetarian and he is a meat eater. He knew I was not a "cooker" before we got married. But I will make him a sandwich or a breakfast. Twice a year at xmas and Thanksgiving I make a by scratch meal for both of us, meat for him lots of other stuff for me. It is difficult to cook for a family…
  • just had back surgery on Monday. I usually exercise 90 minutes a day. I went in and adjusted my settings to no exercise and I am sticking to the recommended 1200 calories a day. i am bored and hungry, but in order to get better I am following my doctors orders.
  • Just ordered mine too. I am excited to use it and compare the actual calories burned.
  • My nutrionist advised drinking this, more for helping with the digestive process. I could not stand the taste so I now take the tablets. It seems to help.
  • I am supposed to eat 1200 per day, if i work out I will eat 1400-1500. The calories burned during exercise I thinks is a guilde line and not everyone burns the same amount of calories. I was not losing any weight when i ate back all of my exercise calories. I am 49 years old and I also think that has to do with calories…
  • I am also 5'4 at 136, I have lost 3 lbs so far. My goal is 128, But I would love to be 120. But i will just be happy at 128 or so I tell myself. Remember if you are working out the scale might not be moving, but I just tried on mine jeans that i wore in January and they were loose. I feel much better about my weight loss…
  • I have found that MFP is a little off on calories burned for some of there exercises. I was eating back all my exercise calories and not losing. I know that when I ride my bike for an hour at 12-14 mph I am not burning 568 calories I think this is just a baseline. There is no way that every person can burn the same amount…
  • Try pilates, nothing beats it. I have a DVD and did 30 minutes. The next day my abs were sore. I could not believe it.
  • My son is a vegan and he has showed me how to cook with tofu and it is great . I make areally good cheesecake with it. Also putting it in your smoothee also gives you your prorein.
  • Does anyone know if the polar f7 will work while riding my bike. Do you just wear it like a watch?
  • :Seems to be a lot of us former WW members. i had medical problems so my weight would flucuate. When i finally got to my goal weight and did not have to pay any more, only had to weigh in once a month, they don't take medical conditions into account.. I love this sight no getting weighed in and worrying that i gained 2…
  • good to know that you can lose weight without exercise. i am having back surgery mid February and will not be able to exercise for at least a month. So now i wont stress as much. But I usually work out at least 1 hour a day at it will help your weight loss and it also makes you feel better.
  • I have been eating back my exercise calories back, but now I am reconsidering doing this. i think what a previous writer wrote is correct regarding the amount of calories burned as MFP list is a rough guess. I have a bike computer on my rode that list calories burned. MFP say something like 560 calories for 1 hour of bike…
  • My go to breakfast is fat free greek yogurt, buy either Fage or Chobani, plain(there are cheaper versions but if you read the nutrional info you will see the cheaper brands have more sugar and less protein, add some fruit to it and I use some vanilla liquid stevia to make it taste sweeter. This will fill you up and is also…
  • I was put on Seroquel to help me for sleep. I have always had self image problems. The doctor did not tell me of the weight gain side effect. i could not figure out why i gained 10 pounds in one month. I finally ended up taking melatonin and valerian for sleep. It took me 3 months to get that 10 pounds off. I guess if…
  • I have bloating sometimes so bad that ihave 2 different sizes of clothes. i take activated charcoal tabs for gas, I thake them with every meal. To make matters worse i had to have my gallbladder out 2 years ago. i love this ight but for me with the constipation I gain 2 pounds then gain it right back. I will try not be…
