I recently got the Precision Plus by Eat Smart. It is very consistent as I was having major problems with my 3yr old Taylor brand digital scale. It would fluctuate as much as 3 pounds in either direction everytime I stepped on and off. Here is the link from Amazon.…

I love the support I get from my MFP friends! I'll send you a request! Good luck with your goals. I know you can do it! :)

You have done an amazing job and like all the posters before me, there is definitely a difference! You are beautiful and your plan is exactly how I have set out to lose weight on my journey. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for posting your pictures and story!

I recently got the Precision Plus by Eat Smart. It is very consistent as I was having the same problem you are reporting with my old Taylor brand digital scale. Here is the link from Amazon...not sure if it's also on Amazon UK though. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032TNPOE?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1

You look wonderful! Thanks for posting your pics....it's so motivating for me!

Welcome! You've come to the right place.....as long as you're willing to put forth the effort to change old habits, you will see great results! Good luck on your journey....and I'll send you a friend request to support you along the way! :)

I originally used Lose It! on my iPod touch last year but like a previous poster mentioned, it wasn't so good without wifi so I eventually stopped. Then when I got my iPhone I found MFP and liked it's database much better so I switched!

I can't even remember how my life functioned before my iPhone 4! I've been with AT&T since before they were even AT&T...it started for me as Ameritech!

2007 Honda CR-V....love it!

Welcome and congrats on the 7lbs! The app is so helpful and makes it so easy to keep track!

I had a New Balance one I got from Target. I tried it once then boxed it right back up and got a refund for the exact same reasons. I then got the black/gold Polar FT7 from Amazon for $85. I love it! I mention the color because it was cheaper than the other colors of the same model for some reason. I didn't care about the…

I'm an adoption worker for the county. I find forever families for children in foster care! And then at night and weekends I'm a mom to a high energy 3 year old!

Hi and welcome! I'll send a request! Good luck on your journey!

I'd like to know this too....so I'm posting so I can find this post again when hopefully someone has an answer! :)

Just from personal experience: The only kind of fasting I've ever done is during the Islamic month of Ramadan. We don't eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset....not even water. Then you eat whatever you want after the sun goes down. I have always lost weight during the month and never found myself gaining it back…

So amazing and so inspiring! You look great!

I'm awaiting the arrival of my new scale on Monday because once I changed the batteries in my current one it will cycle through weights in swings of 3 lbs higher and 3 lbs lower WHILE I'M STANDING ON IT! Then when I step off and step back on it will come up with a total different weight. So I know I've lost weight, but I'm…

I have found that if it's not in the house, then I'm not going to go out an buy it. If it is here....I will eat it all. My husband doesn't understand that I have no self-control over those wonderfully tasting sweets and will bring home cookies, candy, doughnuts, whatever! I like the fat-free pudding and fat-free whipped…

Welcome aboard! I'll send you a request!

You are beautiful! You have done a great job....I could only hope to look like that!

I log it right before I eat whatever it is I'm eating....with the exception of breakfast: I log that when I get to work just because I'm always rushing to get out the door on time! I use the app on my phone so it's pretty convenient.

I just know of red lentils and brown lentils....and the red ones are really orange! :) My husband is Arab and there is this one dish he made before that was basmati rice and brown lentils together. It's called mujadara. That's the extent of my lentil knowledge! LOL

Back in the days when AOL was the only way to get online, Chrisc31 was my username. I used to go by Chrissy....so I was cool and made it "Chrisc". And the 31 comes from when I thought Mike Piazza was the most awesome baseball player around (and it was his #). I've used it since around 1996-1997.....just easy to remember!

I just set my DVR! Thanks for the tip!

I too am over 300 lbs and have A LOT to lose. My first goal is to get to 250 just because saying I wanted to get to 150 seems too impossible at this time! This is the heaviest I've ever been and I'm tired of feeling the way I do. I had lost about 60 pounds in 2005-2006 and was under 300 for the first time since I was a…

Hello to you from Cincinnati! Good luck to both of you!

I've been telling my mom about it and she said she was going to check it out. I hope she joins because I think it would be fun to have her doing this with me!

Done!

You could still get in a quick exercise session tonight. But really, I think you just need to look at it as "Okay, today wasn't so good but tomorrow will be better." And just be extra mindful of tomorrow's calories. You can't go over one day and then cut down the next though. It happens....just try to not make it a habit!
