I watched a great documentary on Netflix yesterday called Fed Up. I think dumping the sugar, including all forms of natural and manufactured sugar, is a great idea. But, I'll stick with my healthy fats (avocado, nuts, coconut oil) to keep me full!

I'd be interested in seeing what kind of food you are eating. Enough healthy fats and healthy carbs? Cutting out sugar? I am eating about 1200-1500 calories a day. I feel like I am always eating just to get in that many calories. Protein, veggies, healthy fats like avocado, and small amounts of fruit have helped me lose…

Even though I won't quite make my goals, I've exercised more than ever in a month. Also, I started Whole30 10 days ago and I've been lifting weights on a regular basis. For me, those are BIG wins. Walk: 15.19/20 Bike: 212.28/250 I'm going to try to bike tomorrow and Sunday also. My knees have been cracking sometimes when I…

That happens because your Fitbit is already tracking your movement. No need to use MapMyFitness, too.

As of 4/18: Walk: 11.19/20 miles Bike: 161.28/250 miles I started eating the Whole 30 way on Monday and I'm excited to see where it takes me! I started lifting weights consistently last week so I am hoping to lose big numbers this month. Setting these exercise goals has helped tremendously!

I figured I should at least post my totals: Goals: Walk: 11.19 miles/20 Bike: 86.28/250 Going to exercise now!

I was doing great the first week, but I think I was overdoing it! I was having some leg pain. My chiropractor was able to adjust me and help it. But, I had to rest the last few days. Back to it today and I'm hoping my pain subsides.

I love this thread! This journey is so much about daily accountability and goals. How encouraging! My goals for today: 60 minutes of exercise Log all food and Stay within my calories-1200 Drink 72 oz of water Apply for 3 jobs

Great inspiration, everyone! I lost 46# about 4 years ago. I gained about 20# back. Since January, I've lost 10# and I'm working on losing 15# by end of June. I'd like to lose 15 more by the end of the year. Ultimately, I would be down 63# from my starting weight. This would take me down to the lowest I've been in 20+…

As of 4/6, Walk: 7.2/20 miles Bike: 71.2/250 miles My ultimate goal is to meet my active calorie goal every day of April. So far, I'm on track!

I am happy to find this thread and all the other threads about PCOS. I was told years ago that I had PCOS, and the doc put me on the pill. I was young and had moved out of the country and the effects were adverse so I stopped taking it. Fast forward 15 years later...about 5 years ago I lost 46 pounds, gained about half of…

I'm back to logging my food. I re-started in January, and I've finally gotten into a bit of a exercise routine. I'll take the challenge so I can create better habits. Goals: Walking Distance: 20 miles Biking Distance: 250 miles So far, Walking: 2.17/20 Biking: 33.2/250 Also, I'm working on meeting my active calorie goals…

I'd recommend not weighing for a month, at least. Focus on logging your food and exercising, creating healthy habits. A few years, when I first started using MFP, I didn't believe I could really lose weight. I waited 6 weeks to weigh, and only then bc I had to weigh at a dr. visit. I lost 10 pounds and was in total shock…

I'm thrilled you started this thread. I am looking to follow users who eat high protein/low carb so I can see what they are eating and get ideas.

I have a recipe for Monster cookies that I modified. As far as I can tell, they are about 170 calories each. I substituted the butter with a can of pumpkin and I can't even taste a difference. I used only egg whites. Also, they only use oatmeal instead of flour. I didn't have enough oatmeal so I put in psyllium husk and…

I started last year as a US 20W weighing 233 pounds. Currently, I am about 193 pounds in a US 12 (curvy). I am 5'4". Last year I was able to log my food 180 days in a row on MFP. This year I am shooting for 365 days in a row! I also started using the app PACT which connects to MFP and I am logging more veggies/fruits and…

What a FANTASTIC thread! Most of my calories are snacks. I snack all day, especially now that it is summer! I eat 1/4 cup of prunes at least once a week. Mandarin oranges, banana dipped in chocolate silk Jif, guacamole with blue corn tortilla chips, half of a PBJ on Sara Lee light wheat bread.
