  • I did just get an Android update yesterday, but I guess I haven't added anything through the app since then. I had pre-logged my food for today yesterday and the few things I've added today were through the site. I can't say that I'm looking forward to this occurring... ETA: One thing I had HOPED they would fix with the…

  • +1 I have to get pants based on the hip sizing. My hips and butt fit into most size 6 (sometimes 4, sometimes 8, but usually 6) pants and jeans and they all fasten fine and I don't have a "muffin top." But if I went by waist sizing, I would need a 10 or 12 and they'd be falling off. It makes no sense at all.
  • It really can vary. I would recommend the same things others have said, trying the dresses on or at least going by measurements if buying online. Not every store, at least here in the US, has their sizes run exactly the same as another store. Since you're referring to weight in stones, and that's not generally a common…
  • 36 cm??? What grown woman isn't bigger around than that??? Seriously???? I do NOT have big hips and they're 37.25 INCHES which converts to 94.615cm. Color me wildly confused...
  • I have a couple more, but these photos were easily found ETA: The back piece I had done because I'd always wanted a back tattoo, but then the whole "tramp stamp" phenomenon began, and since mine was a lower back tat, I had more work done to make it a "piece." I'd like to eventually do some more with it, just not sure what.…
  • From central Ohio with no "discernible" accent (ie Midwestern sound), and this is the case for me as well. ALso the au/ah sounds being the same. I don't hear them different and I don't say them different. At least not in the words that have been shown as examples of how they should be different. :embarassed:
  • I've always said it Jag-wahr (rhymes with bar), but I like how the Brits say it on Top Gear: Jag-u-are
  • Those pronunciations must vary depending on region. I say all of those things with the "on" sound, so Don & Dawn sound identical to me. It would also then be: fon, yon, lon & onning. lol I keep trying to discern what's supposed to be different there, but I can't see (hear) it. :ohwell:
  • I looked at a few days' worth of your diary. Some days look really good, others you're WAY under, and there are days with nothing logged. I don't know if you just quit logging on the very low days or if you ate that far under your calories. If you really ate that far under, it's pretty simple to see why you're so hungry:…
  • Nicely done! :drinker:
  • It's not a bad size, but if I wanted to bring much more, it might be difficult. I can fit 5-6 16 oz bottles of water in it (I've done it for long trips). I generally bring a frozen lunch (mostly Lean Cuisine), carrots, some Oikos dip for the carrots, a Greek yogurt, a cheese stick or cottage cheese and a serving of beef…
  • It's been so long since I've posted a picture on here, I don't know if I remember how to do it right. lol This is mine, a thirty-one bag in butterfly print. The reverse side doesn't have the polka-dot print, just the butterflies. Hopefully that fixed the size... And it didn't... I give up. Y'all get the idea anyway. Sorry…
  • Bump to put it in my feed. Well said, OP.
  • I have the FT4 and I like it. I haven't found it to be overestimating for me. When I went to Zumba class I would wet it before I left my house, which was about 30 minutes before the class and never had issues. I wear a VS underwire sports bra and I actually wear the chest strap directly under the band on my bra. Not under…
  • Mine is open, but I rarely ever "complete" my diary at the end of the day. Yes, people can still view my diary by going to my profile page and clicking the link there... But to me it's just not a big deal. I've never had anyone be overly critical about what I've eaten or not eaten. I don't solicit advice and people don't…
  • I'm also 5'5", my figure is "rectangular," I guess, as I'm fairly straight up and down. I fluctuate from about 140-144 and I'm a size 6. My heaviest was 186 and I was a size 14, though they were tight. I have very small hips and a little butt, I'd call my chest "average." I wear misses size small tops. On the rare occasion…
  • So... 120%?? A much more reasonable approach would be 40c/30f/30p or something along those lines. I can't imagine trying to get in 80% protein. I don't think you'd even be able to poop... :embarassed:
  • So.... How is it going to cure the boredom that you're stating is the issue? Once you stop taking it you won't have to be bored anymore, ever again, and be tempted to eat, just because you're bored? I'm not sure if Phen35 is the same as Adipex/Phentermine, which my husband is currently on, under the care of a doctor... But…
  • Ummm... yes it does "cite" it: "But the biggest gut-buster of all: the new summertime craze, Arctic Zero ice cream. It promises 150 calories for the whole pint: Sounds great. But in our test, the results were less than appetizing. Our sample of Arctic Zero Vanilla Maple had a whopping 46 percent more calories than the…
  • Walking vs running/jogging is a difference in gait (or how you move), not speed. Some people "run" at under 3 MPH. I can walk extremely fast, and when I'm doing it for exercise, I push myself as hard as I can. Per GPS connected apps on my phone, I can get an "average" of my speed for the entire walk. I am regularly able to…
  • You are so very right. It isn't easy. And no on can make the changes except you. It will eventually, if you keep at it, become a habit, however, which makes it at least a little easier. I'm not one who was ever big on working out. When my weight ballooned due to hypothyroidism, I had to make a decision. I could either…
  • Wow... not even 30 minutes after posting and the user has deactivated... SMH... Well, I'll still say what I came to say. lol Our bodies change over time. When I was younger, I rarely had ANY PMS issues, to the point where I thought other women must be exaggerating. lol The older I get, the more I notice them. I have at…
  • Yes, it does seem like that should be an option. I believe it's been mentioned in one of the forums here that is up for suggestions for the site. You are able to "share" your recipes so that others can use them, but there is currently no way for anyone (other than the author) to view what is included in the recipe.
  • HRMs are at least a fairly accurate estimate. I always use my Polar FT4's burn. As you become more fit and weigh less, make sure you're adjusting your weight in the HRM's settings... But as you do become more fit, you will start burning less.
  • I finished with the first round at the beginning of December. I've since done the "Pure Gamma" schedule and started the "Pure Strength" hybrid calendar this week. I didn't go back and read all responses in this thread, just the last few posts... Someone had mentioned that in Beta you use the bands. You *can* use the bands,…
  • Not true. I wasn't sick when mine was low. And my doctor didn't tell me anything to do either. She just monitored to make sure it didn't STAY low.
  • ^^THIS! You don't know if the OP's doctor said she needed to increase it. I actually had a low sodium level with my last annual blood work in August.. I had to go back and have it re-tested twice after that to ensure that my sodium and potassium were both in line. Don't just assume that she's trying to gain water weight...
  • Being a little obsessive/compulsive about it, I will then go to my computer, FIND that item in the database and correct it per the label. This process annoys me, but scanning an item and having it come up as something else (or just wrong calories etc) annoys me far more.
