Another thing I was going to mention with the hrm & pedometer I got is that it shuts off after a few minutes of me sitting down. I have to turn it back on when I get up & start going & its waterproof. At least I can see at the end of the day what my calories was the day. I work at a animal hospital so all day I walk to the…

Thank you all for your responses. I bought it at a sports store..(any sports store) mine was &79.99...It look like a pink watch (it also is a watch) but it also has hrm and pedometer in it. It knows like mfp my age, female, etc. Thru out the day I check my heart rate & thats how it's figuring my calories cause it's set for…

Thanks alot...Im going to try this recipe over the weekend Lynda:smile:

Heres what to focus on...heard this on oprah from bob green....At night time when you get that feeling in your head...let me go to the fridge or you stand in front of the pantry or closet looking at what do I want....that's when your body will starts burning fat cause it has nothing else to burn. when you put something in…

Thanks alot:smile:

Thank you Thank you. It's looks like were going shopping...I actually have a weight machine for my legs & butt and the burn tells me probably everything mfp doesn't. I've seen the jillian michaels dvd's..wish she could come to my house. Lynda:wink:

I dont eat extra to count the excercise calories...I focus only on staying at 1200...the extra calories is your bonus & what your burning. Sometimes I'll eat a extra snack cause I have room to do that.

Good luck to you. I just started 4 weeks ago. You will notice a big difference right away in your skin & feeling better. I'll send you a friend request if you want to add me Lynda:smile:

I have kids & lots of errands to do as well...Keep your snacks on you at all times including fruit...I get the bacon ranch salad at mcdonalds alot (I dont eat their chicken just cause I dont like it) with basalmic vinager dressing...it all totals 180 calories. If you go to restaurants - get kids meals. I know its hard but…

Drink plenty of water & have fiber in the morning. Fiber fills you up. I have hot tea as one of my snacks 0 calories

My husband took a picture of me in July walking away. I saw that picture & literally cried all night. I was uncomfortable with my weight gain in past years anyway but always made excuses. We then went to branson the next week on vacation..while their I was uncomfortable with myself & tried not to get crabby with anyone…

Thanks...Im going to try this:smile:

Thank you

I dont count coffee as my water...but I drink alot more tea than coffee. I do count my decaffeinated tea as my water. My tea cup equeals 16 oz. Some days I drink 8 glasses of water with my tea, but on the days I dont I dont worry about it. Do you like tea? Theres many natural flavors that counts as 0 in your food diary.

thanks I'll try it
