  • I've heard MFP always estimates high, so don't go by them. Besides, it's better to estimate low rather than high. Unfortunately, the most accurate way to measure is to use a heart rate monitor.

  • You may have heard this a million times, but try eating fewer meals. Snack throughout the day. It REALLY boosts your metabolism. I do it each Monday and work out at night. The next morning, I've always been a pound lighter. Also, it sounds like it would benefit you because there's no need to cook. For example, here is what…

  • I gave a book of "way to go" like stickers to a co-worker. I tell him each week what my weigh-in was, as well as how I've done each day. He is essentially the "keeper of the stickers" and decides whether or not I "deserve" one. Then, I put it on my calendar. I put that calendar behind my computer screen so I look at it all…

  • I know some people that wear two. I wonder if there's any research on whether that is helpful or not, good or bad or not. I went bra shopping last weekend. I went in expecting to spend $60. I wear a 38 DD and ended up buying a 40DDD sports bra. I absolutely need one that clasps, too. Well, I grabbed eight bras and ended up…

  • Snack day going swimmingly! I have enough snacks to be under my calorie goal and still have one snack every hour. I'm behind, though, as it's 11 a.m. and I just had my first one. Still feel great! Full report tomorrow.

  • I've planned out my day for Monday and HOLY CRAP I never realized how much I can eat by doing this. I can't wait to see how it goes. I prepared the husband and let him know I wouldn't be cooking that night. I put in my favorites, added some of yours and still barely made it to the daily limit for any living being.…

  • I love using Greek Yogurt in place of Mayo and Sour cream. It's very tasty with Boca burgers and any mexican dish. You can't tell the difference and it's MILES better for you. LOVE IT. Plus, there is less lactose in greek yogurt, leaving you less gassy (almost everyone has some sort of aversion to diary). On its own, I…

  • I should try one day only eating snacks and spreading them out throughout the day - just to see how it goes. Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. 5 Small meals. I'll try this Monday and report back... using some of your suggestions. Thanks all!!!!
