My scale at home also weighs differently than the one at the gym. I've just gotten in the habit of doing my weigh in on my home scale naked first thing in the morning before I jump in the shower. The way I see it is as long as it's consistent it shouldn't matter which you use. if you lose 10lbs the you should weigh 223 on…

Start Weight 160.8 Goal Weight 150 Oct 3rd: 160.8 Oct 10th: Oct 17th: Oct 24th: Oct 31st:

If you've got your MFP set up to lose 1lb a week then then it will account for a 500 calorie deficit already. So if you're accurately measuring your excersice calories you should be able to eat them back and still lose because you'll still have the 500 calorie deficit. I eat most of mine back and I'm slowly losing weight.…

to get you pics to work, just change the IMG to small case letter img

I'm a 34DD and only need to wear one bra, even when I go running. I swear by them. I have the TaTa Tamers from Lululemon. They're reasonably priced I think they're only $56. I have 6 pairs at the moment, but I also wear them when I work in the field. I'm an oil field surveyor so lots of quading (or 4 wheeling or whatever…

Hey you can just drink all you want, everything will be ok because this person is going to pray for you!

I guess there are a lot of sad people out there. I work in the oil field and am out of town for weeks at a time. Me and the guys always have a beer or 2 pretty much every night. It's a social thing after working 12 hour days for weeks at a time it's nice to have a nice cold beer to look forward to. Just because you don't…

Unfortunately they don't sell sugar free cheesecake jello in canada. There are a few other flavors we can't get here either. I got some a few months ago when I was visiting the US I'll have to get some more when I go back down in March. Until then I'll have to stick to my sugar free vanilla pudding.

There is no quick fix solution. A friend of mine did it, lost about 20 lbs as gained it back as soon as she got off it. i really doubt you want to never eat real food again. I think your doc is right, this isn't a quick fix diet you're doing it's a lifestyle change. With a lifestyle change it's something you can maintain…

thanks for posting loved seeing your results, we're very similar. I'm 5'7" my highest was 198, but I started MFP at 174 and now I'm hovering between 159-163 and I've kind of hit a plateau. I also binge. When I'm stressed out I eat and I'm a very emotional eater. I'll eat til I make myself sick, I'm not hungry and don't…

Oh yeah my warranty is void because I opened it and replaced it myself but I don't wear it swimming so don't need it to be waterproof. I changed mine about 2 years ago and I haven't had any issues with it and I sweat a lot when I wear it.

I have an F11 maybe its different. I opened mine using a penny i think. Took it to a watch store and they fit it with a watch battery cost about $10.

Finally got it to work.

Measurements are good but I'm a very visual person and I needed to see results. I didn't see any when looking in the mirror so I took new pics and this is what I saw. It was the motivation to keep going this was only 14lbs different first pic at 174 second was 160. I can see less back fat, a more defined waist and a…

Take progress pics. I've only lost 15 lbs and I couldn't see any difference even though my clothes were a little bit loose. I took more pics and compared and saw my waist getting smaller, my back fat disappearing and my muffin top shrinking. It was awesome to see, because looking in the mirror every day I didn't see any…

Oh I wanna try this with brownies!!!!!!

This will sound weird but Diet Pop cake/ cupcakes. I actually made them this morning. Take any box of cake mix the kind you normally add egg and oil to and instead of egg and oil mix it with a can of diet pop. Bake following the directions on the box. I made large cupcakes, got 15 out of the box so only 106 calories each.…

I just made one I actually use oatmeal but just use it as is I don't grind it up. I also put a cup and a half of grated zucchini in it which keeps it really moist. I'll most likely serve it tonight with cooked carrots and roasted potatoes.

Every once in awhile my chest strap isnt snug or wet and if you look at the watch you'll see a 0 where your heart rate shows up. A few times it's been fine and part way through my workout I'll notice it says 0. If it says 0 it will be recording nothing. Keep an eye on that number and make sure your heart rate is showing up.

I use Body Fortress whey protein powder from Walmart. I really like it. It's way cheaper than any powders at GNC. I don't think it's that bad for me. I mainly use it to make protein muffins and bars for quick easy high protein snacks and the odd smoothy.

I have a Polar F11 and love it. I've never had any issues with it, I've had it about 3 years now. I can't work out without it, I feel naked without it. If you get one invest in one with a chest strap. They're more acccurate and they can also transmit to cardio equipment. So when I'm running on the treadmill my heart rate…

I made these tonight but didn't realize until I'd mixed all the dry ingredients together that I had no milk. I used water I hope they turn out. Oh and I added 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to the batch.

plain greek fat free yogurt mixed with a scoop of vanilla protein powder. has a similar taste and consistency to cheesecake. I like it topped with berries or sometimes just eat it plain.

I'm a surveyor and work in the oil and gas industry. I work on the road lots usually in very remote locations or small towns. My shifts are usually between 17 and 24 days gone at a time then home 4 then back out again. Usually working 12 hour days and living in hotels or camps. I try and do workouts in my room or go for…

I think it's absolutely ridiculous. If she had a "fat gene" which I still don't believe exists then she'll eventually gain it all back again anyways. It's not life threatening it's a vanity thing, sure it looks gross but that's what happens when you lose so much weight so quickly your skin is going to sag. I think she…

I suggest taking progress pics. I'm only down 15 and was getting disappointed in not seeing any changes but I decided to take progress pics to compare them and boy am I glad I did. My back fat is in fact disappearing and my muffin top is definitely shrinking!

We have one and use it a lot. I've made several dishes in it. I love home made french fries and only need 1 tbsp of oil. I season them with different flavors of Mrs Dash when they are cooking. Plus it's great to not have to turn the oven on in the middle of summer when it's hot.

garlic, cinnamon, lemon pepper, and I currently have 4 flavours of Mrs. Dash on the go... I love Mrs. Dash!
