I would like to try the three things challenge. It sounds fun.

The big trick is just burn a little more than you eat. Your diary is still set to private so I can't help you there but watching intake versus output is the most important part. You can do it!!!!!!

I would never date a man who uses or has used steroids( of course that doent count prednisone for poison ivy or lung condition). Muscles never attracted me. A man who is so centered on his appearance that he would endanger his health is not someone I would have ever been interested in. A man who is capable of love will be…

This is where I love the fitbit. It counts every step and I dont have to worry over logging or not. If you are someone who never walks, yhou should log it. If you are set at a mildly active, etc, and you walk a lot anyway, then I wouldnt. Fitbit is really accurate here.

You can friend me. You can do it.:happy:

Slow and steady wins the race. Keep doing what youre doing. Make sure you hit the macros properly.:smile:

Why would you choose only one? Life is a holistic venture. All things are affected by factors surrounding them. If there is no exercise, the muscles waste away. If there is no food, the muscles waste away. Food builds muscle and excercise builds muscle. Both are necessary for healthy life and the trick is to burn more than…

I have found that I have to search for foods that can be measured in Grams. Then, I just weigh it.

My daily average ai around 10,000. I am 59 and 5'1. I weigh 125.6

Very dangerous don't do it

Mine is set to 1000 but I eat much mnore than that b ecause I eat back my exercise calories. I am five feet and I average probably eating 1500 a day with eating back the calories. I wonder if the people who say they only eat 1200 are not eating back their calories or counting those.

The interesting thing about sugar is it is actually physically addictive. So once you eat some, it triggers this craving. It isnt even a matter of will power; chemically your body sets up this need. White flour, and other high carbohydrates also turn to sugar immediately and feed this craving. I have found a snack very…

I like this idea. I have been trying to decide what to do. I had back surgery last year. I got the cardio down but need to do the strength part.

Oh and one more thing the most important of all; log everything and if you can wear your food my biggest problem was I had no idea on portion size.

Hi I will agree with most of what I've heard here with the exception of stay away from juice cleanses and that kind of thing it's best to be sensible and eat whatever you want but stay within the calorie goal. That being said it's also a good idea to just decide to be patient. I tried for years to lose weight and when I…

Thank you. I, like so many others who post on here, would love a definitive answer; however, there is no such thing. My metabolism seems to change with the seasons. I am looking forward to finding the right place and then learning to replace fat with muscle to reduce the bmi while maintaining weight. Ah, challenges. You…

thats not good.....you need to eat those.:smile:

Its fine. Time to cook it.

I did not start losing weight until I weighed my food. It constantly amazes me how small two ounces of something is. I would not be without my food scale. everyone said I was obsessive but everyone said I wouldnt lose weight too (except my daughter, who turned me onto food weighing and MFP) It has worked for both of us.…

I know someone who tried it and he said it was a disaster. So I thanked him for trying it for me and I didnt try it.

An apple and a packet of almond butter. Its my go to protein energy boost.

The dirty rat. Can you talk to him? Clearly he has some passive aggressive issues with your nice food.

You sound as if you are way too worried about what the rest of the world is doing.

Thanks for all these good questions. I wonder all the same things. I am not even sure where I want my goal weight to be.... I have lost almost 30 pounds and am near my "first" goal, but I have flab which I don't know if would be so bad or go away if I had more muscle or if its still just fat. Not sure if I have to go to…

I love exercise outside in all kinds of weather. I do more fast walking if its slippery since its safer. I got shoes and boots with nonslidy soles so I dont break my back again. Dont let the weather keep you inside!!!!! I love my UnderArmour coldgear.

I used to have a juicer and I made carrot juice with it which I like carrot juice a lot. Now my ex has the juicer and I have to buy carrot juice. It saved me a lot of money. Why do people on here hate people who like carrot juice?

I guess I am lucky. I like all food and all food likes me.

If you can see that it's not "weakness" and enjoy pizza like that when it happns, all really is ok, and you will lose the weight.
