If something is chasing me that I feel I need to run from, my body will be fully versed in keeping endurance up..Because Zombie won't wait for you to catch your breath! Seriously though, excellent advice.

I am on the fence with mine. Some of the information helps, like all others who posted, it helps keep you motivated and really shows how sedentary I am at work. However, it doesn't seem to track as well on the elliptical or rowing machine, but loves it when I walk. I am trying to use it as a tool for motivation and not…

That is terrible. One time I saw my mom after a fairly long absence and as she's coming in for the hug, she said "your as big as a house" Everybody within ear shot was as mortified as I was.

You are right. I don't "weigh" everything, but I do meaure out the food I don't weigh and log it by cups, etc. I try to log the way the package indicates. If the package indicates 1 cup =40 calories, I put the food in a cup and log in a cup. I have tried to keep a good grip on the actual calorie intake, but if you are…

Thank you!! That makes sense since my exercise intensity has increased quite a bit.

Thank you. I will try that and see if it helps. You are so right about the phases. Last year, I actually bragged at how easy it was, and now I am whining about how hard it is. :)

5'7 and I am 51

I do have 100 more to lose. I guess my concern comes from two things. The general rule is that if you are not losing and following your plan, you are either 1) not in a calorie deficit or 2) eating too few calores. I am fairly certian I am in a calories deficit, becuase I weigh everything. Becuase I have not been losing…

I think you misunderstood. I am following the MFP plan, exactly. I have my goals set and I stick to them. I eat my calories and I exercise. Some people eat back their calories and some don't. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, but I never go over my calories whether it be eating back calories or not. There is a lot of…

I am set as 2 pounds a week. Sedetary lifestyle (because I sit at a desk all day) exercise is set at 6 days a week at 45 minutes. But I am not losing 2 pounds a week. I have only lost 25 pounds since January. I was starting to wonder if my calories were too low, and then MFP dropped me to 1370 today.

Well, the last time I posted, all I got was people telling me I should have searched the topic before starting another thread. I was just trying to avoid another backlash. :(

I was just getting ready to post the same question. I have lost 70 pounds since last March, but in January of this year I hit a plateau and I have almost completely stopped, with the exception of ten slooww pounds recenlty. I weigh my food as much as possible. I tried increasing my calories, eating back my calories, and…

Excellent advise!

I was waiting for someone to respond with that little tidbit.

OMG. I love this!!

ummmm. I think a cup is 8 oz and a 1/2 cup is 4 oz.

Exactly, same with couscous, measures dry but the box ends up making enough for a week!

No kidding. Or an ounce of peanuts? who eats 1 oz of peanuts?

I'm in

Not only Subway. For the longest time I was using a MFP calulation for Asparagust that said 9 spears was 100 calories. So I only had nine spears. They I found out it is really more like 14 calories and I could have been having more more more. Gotta be careful all everywhere. :)

EXACTLY!!

What a great inspiration. You look amazing.

Good question. I have been wondering that myself. My nutritionist told me it didn't matter, but I am curoius as to what people on this site have to say.

Crystal light is missing a good opportunity. Lots of options , Margarita,daquiri,...yumm

alcohol

So amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Me too. I can't believe how much salt is is vegtables in their natural raw state. The good news is, once you start cutting back on it, everything taste salty so it get easier to avoid.

We also cut it in half, take the seeds out, wrap it in foil, and grill. It takes about an hour. You can also pierce the skin and bake like a potato, but if you do it that way it takes forever to cool down enough to cut in half and scoop the seeds out.

haha. That's great!

I have to get my wedding ring resized. :drinker:
