I eat mostly paleo. Probably about 80/20 right now, trying to get to 90/10. YOU STILL HAVE TO COUNT CALORIES. But for me (and many others), eating at a deficit is way way easier when I am on paleo. There are a ton of reasons why, and they can vary for the individual, and some people on this site will get angry when you…

There is a new one with a HR monitor. My boyfriend LOVES it. I'm a hypochondriac and can't wear HR monitors or I will think I am dying. (Sounds like I am exaggerating but I'm not, anxiety is a *kitten*!) However I have gone from the fitbit zip to the flex and I love my flex. It is SO great that it adjusts calories, it…

My boyfriend is doing DDP yoga to try and help with his back problems. I think its sort of weird that it is yoga marketed towards dudes and I sort of wish he would just come to yoga class with me instead, but he seems to enjoy it. He hasn't had any specific progress with weight loss because of it, but it is a new and…

Look at the coaches of college and professional athletes. They don't exactly look like the athletes they are coaching, even when they are of a comparable age. You don't have to be in perfect shape to know how to get someone into perfect shape. I think it is probably more important that you like the person. Personally, I…

Great job! Love your style, very retro chic. You have a great shape and I bet you are going to look even more amazing at your goal weight!

you look beautiful! great job!!

There is a paleo group on here, come post on our threads! I eat mostly paleo and stay between 1300-1700 calories/ day depending on exercise. I agree that it might be tough on 1200 cals, but no more tough than any well balanced diet. I eat lots of chicken, veggies, sweet potatoes, berries, and almond butter. I drink almond…

OMG so avoiding gluten makes her feel better, for whatever reason. THAT'S OKAY. The fad-ness of gluten free has made gluten-free options so much more widely available. Those of you hating on her can at least be thankful for that, can't you? She wasn't telling everyone to stop eating gluten, she was looking for people with…

I'm genuinely not trying to be a jerk but, why do you care? What is knowing your "shape" according to an arbitrary, FRUIT-BASED description going to help with? What are you trying to achieve with this knowledge? This whole thread is super odd and confusing to me.

Did you know that chocolate dipped potato chips exist?? Game changer!

Because it tastes really really really good. That is the reason why people really like it.

How about you "aw" contain your condescending nonsense and do some research yourself to any number of the links I listed. I can tolerate plenty of internet crap, but I won't put up with being talked down to. I've been considering hiding you because you are all over EVERY damn thread (seriously, you must have a lot of free…

Thanks for backing me up! I didn't realize I said anything controversial. I think this is a valid reason for cutting back on meat. I still think the term OP is talking about is pretty silly, but it may have been coined as part of an environmental initiative.
-
Totally agree with this. I'm not sure why folks are getting so defensive. The science is all there, the research has been done. If we can find ways to turn this into something GOOD for the enviornment then that is great, and for those that can buy from farms making these adjustments that is wonderful. It is also most…
-
I don't see why you find this weird at all, I linked you to ANY number of sources that you can read if you'd like to learn more. I'm not stating a controversial opinion. This has been long established. And if you even read the wikipedia article, it points to the percentage of greenhouse gasses caused by livestock farming…

Okay, I stand by my initial comments but I will add that I thought of this thread at the gym last night because I saw a woman working out in green military-style cargo pants, a tight COMPLETELY sheer whitish teeshirt, and a pink and black lace push up bra. No sports bra, very much a hot pink with black lace trim bra that…

-
I tooootally agree with you on these points. I have thrown out meat that I didn't make soon enough too many times and it makes me furious and led to me cutting back on meat. Money out the window! But I certainly have never called myself a reducitarian or whatever it was.
-
Not in terms of methane gas, actually. I'm sure there are environmental concerns with chicken as well, but in terms of methane production beef is just about the worst thing. Its worse than all cars/trains/planes combined. Like I said I still have some, but I could understand why someone would intentionally cut back. And it…

I'm honestly curious: what about living in America do you think made you gain? Was it the types of food, drinking culture in college, etc? I lived in the UK for about six months and lost some weight, but mostly because I didn't have a lot of money and didn't like the food! It didn't seem particularly healthy there either…
-
I think it is because of environmental concerns and less about diet. The beef industry is pretty terrible for the enviornment :/ I've never been a huge meat eater, but I eat about 90% paleo now so I have meat at almost every meal, typically chicken. I like beef but I rarely cook it for myself so I only have it…
-
so annoying. no one would tell a thin woman with an unattractive face "oh, but you have such a nice body..." because they would know it doesn't sound like a compliment. same rules should apply! people probably intend to be nice when the say it, so try not to let it get to you.

One pair of my lulus goes slightly see through in some fully bent yoga poses. They are so freaking comfortable I wear them anyways. The few seconds of time when someone would have to crane their neck out of a pose to look for my slightly visible undies doesn't bother me enough to NOT wear my $90 super comfortable,…

20s and snowy during cross country in high school. I really don't mind runs in the 30s (with proper gear!) Much lower than that can be quite uncomfortable though, it seems harder to breath.
-
LOL our aussies always herd me when I try to run with them too! They have to cut accross at an angle to herd me out of the street. Their little instincts are too funny! OP, try a harness instead of a leash on a neck collar and work up to it. Bring a little bag of treats and start with walking at a steady pace by holding…

THIS. IS. DRIVING. ME. BONKERS. I want a calorie adjustment, and nothing is syncing with anything correctly! I feel like I have this fancy piece of equipment and it is being totally useless!!!! Any word on this from support at either Garmin or MFP????

@blucat What an adorable baby in your profile pic!! Welcome!

Are you kidding me? I didn't spout any theories whatsoever. If you actually read and comprehended what I wrote you would know that.

OUR PROFILE PICTURES ARE REALLY SIMILAR. GO US!

I never said don't eat ice cream! Please read my post before you trash it!!! Sorry but I am frustrated with how people keep doing this, you may be totally well intentioned but others are not so much and are just looking to argue.
