  • Well you have youth on your side. Don't worry about it.
  • I've been trying different things this past year. Since I hadn't been gaining I figured my food was fine. So I focused on exercise. I had been doing the same exercise the whole time 4 days elliptical a day or two walking. Started doing HIIT with elliptical and start3s to lose again! But then it stopped. Tried something…
  • Just watched the video.... Wow that was a definite light bulb moment!
  • I have dropped how many calories I eat only once during my weight loss journey. So I will adjust it and go back to weighing my food. I will start when I get back from Disneyland. For now and during my vacation I will hold onto the status quo. BTW I am not only off my diabetes meds but I am off the cholesterol meds too! I…
  • You're right I need to find of my scale and start weighing again. After 2 years I figured I was able to eyeball it enough without having to use the scale. But clearly my eyeballs are just seeing way too much. ;) As you could tell by my profile,i f you've looked it. I have logged in over two years of food and exercise I'm a…
  • I think I'm being fairly realistic with my calorie burn I use what is said on the machines I work out on at the gym minus about 75 calories I find them I'll be a little high. For the past 6 weeks I have been going to Jazzercise 3 days a week. I'm not exactly sure how to calculate the burn for that. I use my runtastic app…
  • I am faithful and honest regarding my logging. I would only be fooling myself if I didn't log what I actually ate. But I think I probably need to start weighing my food again. I just need to find my scale.
  • I do log everything I eat. But I have not been really good about weighing my food. I figured after doing this for two years that I can eyeball and have a good idea of what what the portion should look like. Perhaps I should go back to weighing my food. As for my blood sugars they are perfect! I am no longer on medication…
  • I am 52 and have lost 57 pounds in the past year and half. I have another 45 to lose. I was diagnosed with diabetes a year and half ago. That was my wake up call! I cut the carbs and sugar and upped protein and exerciese 6 days a week. I feel so much better and look better. The weight loss has slowed down quite a bit but I…

  • Hi Everyone!! I am a 52 year old wife and mom. Thanks to a wake up call, being dx with type 2 diabetes May 2013, I have now lost 53 lbs! AND am no longer on diabetes meds OR cholesterol meds!! I have been on a MAJOR plateau for the past 3 months and really need all the support I can get to get me back to the losing track.…
  • I have found that the Elliptical machine cal. burn is a smidge high but the MFP is way too high. I have used a HRM and it was way off! It was off by 300 calories lower compared to the elliptical. I sent the hrm back and got a different one, figured it was a bad monitor. The new one was the same. I even tested it out with a…
  • Don't worry about a one week gain at this point. Keep doing what you are doing and check your weight next week. There are a lot of factors that may make you gain temporarily. I've experienced the same thing. A gain after being really consistant at loosing then the next week down what was gained plus and additional pound or…
  • Bump....Anyone else experiencing low calorie burn read on your Polar Ft7? Is this a common issue for the monitor?
