It's not a difference of water weight if I am getting three readings (with a 7 pound range) within 30 seconds. I see the appeal of that chart for sure. I'm a WOMAN who weighs myself every day so trust me, I know all about water weight and monthly fluctuations, but I just want to be able to wake up and get one accurate…

Thats what I need!

This is all helpful. I think I will stick with my one and just count it as a silent bonus when I do stairs during the day.

so will sweat or hairy arms mess up the reader? Asking for my husband in this case ;)

great info!

Can someone elaborate on "Negative Calorie adujustment" ? Does that mean if I don't move enough, it gives me less calories?

OK- I'll try connecting my One again. I just remember doing it last time and being shocked by how many extra calories it gave me. I tried to eat those extra calories for a few weeks and didn't lose anything.

THank you! But am I not burning a few extra calories when I am stressed? And if I climb the stairs 5-10 times a day, don't those calories count too?

Thanks for the replies! Keep em coming! I love hearing your opinions

That's what I'm worried about Meg! So far I am keeping on her milk demands but I have literally ate whatever I wanted plus some food I really didn't WANT, I just wanted to eat. :/ I'll accept your requests!

thanks for the help guys! I've been pounding water, yesterday and today and its seems to be helping. It's crazy how feeding my body too much of the wrong stuff can make me feel so awful. The sad part is, nothing I ate was tasty enough to be WORTH the nasty feeling. It's just so hard to be away from home and away from my…

Wow! great info. thanks for the help guys! You are right- I need to just enjoy myself but I have this irrational fear that this week will make all of my habits and discipline spiral out of control.

welcome!! MFP is the place to be! You can do this!

you look awesome!!! nice job

obviously you are sooo much smaller and look awesome, but you also look about 25 years younger!

Well I've read a lot about people who are insulin resistant or who can not process sugars like other people. I have also heard that sugar is what is going to turn to fat if its not burned off. I agree that you could lose weight eating twinkies, but I just wonder if you would lose it a little faster and control cravings…

Well I can certainly be patient knowing everyone else is having the same issue and only for the last few days. I love my fitbit otherwise :)

hi! good goals. Don't say "if"!! Say you WILL because you CAN! I'm at 256 right now. My goal is to lose 10 pounds by the end of September then another 10 by November 10th (best friends wedding.) I'd like to lose 32 by the end of the year which would put me at 224 (what I was last year at my wedding.) My first BIG goal is…

haha..Spanx, good idea! .. do they make them to fit under swimsuits hehe? :) Thanks for the extra tips. As a side note...I'm sure there are many benefits to exercising such as heart health and toning, but it just seems strange to me that I am supposed to eat back those calories (after this initial 5 lbs a week thing.)…

Thanks so much for your answers (especially geekyjock.) That makes a lot of sense. I didn't realize I should be netting a minimum of 1200. You are right, there are a lot of things on here that are not clear but that does clear it up. Sounds like you have done your research! And it sounds like that extra few pounds won't be…

Thanks everyone. I ended up leaving about 750 calories and I liked what it said I would weight in 5 weeks... I hope its accurate. I have myfitnesspal set at "sedentary" for my activity but I am really trying to get 10k-15k steps. I just wonder how much I can leave without messing with my metabolism. I also don't really…

Wow you look awesome!! way to go!

Hi! I'm Tia. ( I wonder if Tea (above) and I pronouce our names the same? TEE_uh.) I'm 27, and live in Ohio. Like many of you, I have struggled with my weight since I was very young. I remember being 90 pounds in 1st grade when all the other little girls were around 50. In highschool, I dieted/stopped eating and went from…

Hi! I'm in the same boat. I joined but never gave it the attention it deserved. Went to atkins but decided its not really a good fit for me and just came back today. Welcome back! Good luck
