  • first off I suggest talking with your doctor before and during your pregnancy about your individual needs. here's my little story when I got pregnant with my 2nd child in 2014 I was already overweight/ obese but had recently lost 30lbs the year before. I was already walking almost daily for 30-60 minutes I continued to do…
  • curious as well. I don't really pay attention to the calories burned from my watch but yesterday mine said 2793 total but only 665 were move calories
  • this is exactly what my husband and I are eating this week. the hubby added bacon to his I wanted mine to be like a vegetable omelet
  • Thank you for sharing @HeatherLeAnn622 I had my oldest in 2009 and my youngest in 2014 and I have been up and down my whole adult life. I did get pretty close to goal in 2017 but kinda gave up. I am back this year with a whole new attitude. I wanted to add I love NerdFitness he has seriously helped me answer so many…
  • I received an Apple Watch last week as a gift from my husband. I have worn a fitbit daily for almost 5 years. I have been wanting an Apple Watch for about 6 months. I was surprised but nervous to switch. I have been sooo surprised with how much I am loving this watch. It gives me way less calories then my fitbit gave me…
  • Yes I’m definitely having a withdraw period for sure! I also enjoyed it being right in my face... I’m legit confused on how to figure out these calories. I’m 5ft tall so have very little room for error! I do enjoy the logged workouts more on Apple Watch by getting used to the battery life...
  • Honestly I’m still really confused haha can you tell I’m not good at math? I had a Fitbit for almost 5 years so this is all new to me. I can’t even figure out how to sync to MFP at all. I think I’ll just stick to making sure I eat the correct calories and not worry about how much calories I’ve burned
  • Sorry my goals are to lose weight I usually do 30-45 minutes of cardio 5x a week at the gym either treadmill or eliptical nothing crazy I want to start doing the weight machines but I’m unsure if I should do it before or after cardio I’ve heard reasons why for both just wondering what is the best and what everyone else does
  • Awesome! How tall are you? I’m 5ft and weigh 175 would love to get down to 125 Tell me your secrets!

  • honestly I was sooo off track for basically all of 2018 :s that it wasn't that hard to get back onto track at all I lost 64lbs in 2016 & 2017 then in 2018 I gained 35lbs so I was ready to get back onto track because it sucks losing pounds I have already lost I have lost 6lbs so far since Jan 3rd
  • I started IF Jan 3rd because I wanted to control my over eating and snacking I would wake up and feel like I already need to eat something when really I probably just needed a glass of water I was eating until the point I would throw up daily throughout the day it's like I didn't have a shut off button. I have been…
  • I completely understand were you are coming from Hubby & I got gym memberships on Nov 19, 2018 he has been able to go basically every single day were I have fun mom responsibilities to do with our children. I do say he does do the meal prepping for the most park for us so I don't have to put in too much effort for that. I…
  • Thank you for sharing your story! I am crying reading it. I also have a bad relationship with food and like you described its to the point were I can't even control it. I knew I was getting bad again when I wanted to start hiding when I was eating, when I felt the happiest eating alone in my car. I did good counting…
  • biggest loser challenge starts Jan 3rd https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/23818-biggest-loser-team-challenge
  • I walk 30-45 minutes 4x a week as my main cardio at the gym but I also get 4k-7k steps just with my normal day to day life (work, kids, etc...)
  • I use almond milk for cereal I love it and def love saving those calories lol
  • no my friend spent $80 total including the book and all the ingredients for the 10 days I think she said the book was like $10-$15 dollars at Target.
  • I also have the Fitbit Charge 2 I have a fitbit for almost 3 years and I have worn it daily. I know it sometimes takes a week or so wearing it at all times to get a true resting heart rate. your 100 bpm does seem very high to me. I am a 29 year old female and my resting is 58 BPM. I do notice even though my heart rate goes…
  • I joined the 10 day smoothie cleanse facebook support group awhile ago just for kicks and giggles because I was curious it's crazy how many people do lose weight but I know it's just water weight or weight that will def be gained back after the 10 days I would be lying if I said I didn't think about starting the cleanse as…
  • @sheloves89 I just started using the Chocolate Elevation Protein Powder and I absolutely love it I use it as a meal replacement after the gym in the morning because I am not a big morning eater haha but I do 6 ice cubes 1 banana 1 cup almond milk and 2 scoops of powder blend it up and it's my perfect morning milkshake and…
  • Hubby and I just meal prepped our lunches and breakfast for all this week and spent $25-$30 dollars and that was for 20 meals so I think you could definitely spend $20 a week for your self. what we made for breakfast is Scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, & turkey sausage. for lunch we got a bag of turkey meatballs & cauliflower…
  • Thank you everyone seriously I was crying as I was making this post. I have been struggling so much lately actually since last summer for some reason and I only have about 40 more pounds to lose until I will be to my goal weight. I started fresh today and so far so good. I just started watching the show GIRLS I don't know…

  • Good Luck on your upcoming stress test I have had 3 open heart surgeries so I basically don't work out I mean I can but I my anxiety makes it really hard. Stress Tests suck for me just because I have no stamina so I am done in like 3 minutes.
  • I am 5ft tall and weigh 166lbs so def in the obese category I wear size 12/14 jeans but I have a friend / coworker that is constantly telling me how skinny I look and she always seems to do it on days that I feel like I am a stuffed can of biscuits lol also when I look at myself in the mirror sometimes I don't feel super…
  • @WinoGelato I did put myself as Sedentary for both MFP and Fitbit because for the most part I am I don't go to the gym or have an exercise routine at home I just try to get as many steps as possible my step goal is 6k I have been trying the last few weeks to increase my step goal to 8k Fitbit has my average steps as 9k so…
  • I am 5ft tall CW: 166 GW: 125 and I have a fitbit sync to myfitnesspal so it gives me anywhere from 300+ calories a day extra I eat 1250-1350 calories a day. 9 times out of 10 I don't eat back any extra calories now on that 1 day that I do eat the calories back it's because we decided to go out to lunch or dinner. also if…
  • as someone who once thought I had to cut out certain foods or food groups in order to lose weight I totally understand your head space right now. I was once 212lbs I currently weight 166lbs. I would cut out ice cream, cookies, breads for a good week or so then I would binge and binge for days because I felt deprived then I…
