I LOVE this! I just quit teaching English in April, so this is near and dear to my heart :heart: .

1981. Whoop, whoop!

I am currently feeling the exact same way (minus the cabbage and beans)! Talk about TMI- I am sitting at my desk right now with my pants unbuttoned because I am ready to pop. I have no idea what is causing mine at the moment, but I am trying to drink as much water as I can to help. So far...not working, but I'm gonna keep…

I am right there with ya. After I stopped nursing my son I fell back into my usual way of eating (Special K bar for breakfast, Lean Cuisine for lunch, grilled chicken, rice and veggie for dinner). Once I started EM2WL I plugged that in and realized I was only eating 800 calories a day. No wonder I had no energy to exercise!

Love it! It's how I track my TDEE and figure out how many calories to eat. It also motivates me to walk more, which I definitely need!
-
Pretty similar. My breakfast is always the same (egg, raspberries, blueberries, mini babybel, and coffee) and my snacks are always the same (almonds, wasabi peas, string cheese, protein shake). My lunches vary because I usually have leftovers from the night before and my dinners vary. I love to try new Skinnytaste recipes,…

Haha! I think you may be right. I've been in TX for about 2 years now and boy do they like their meat! Can't help you with your recipes though...I like my meat too :smile:
-
You can look at my diary if you want. It's definitely not the "cleanest," but I have no problem getting my 1800 in every day. Do you snack at all during the day? A big chunk of my calories come from snacking (almonds, cheese sticks, fruit). I eat the same breakfast just about every day, but my lunch and dinner are always…

Add me! I am pretty similar...got my mind set on a number and then realized I really don't care what the scale says. I want to like what I see in the mirror! Welcome to EM2LW :smile:

I completely agree with keeping them on your friends list. Be sure to provide many updates about how great you feel and share all of your successes. For some people, seeing is believing. For most of us it just doesn't make logical sense that you can eat and still lose weight. But, if we continually see people having…

You wear it on your non-dominant wrist and it tracks your movements while you sleep. Assuming I guess, that if you are moving around then you are not having quality sleep.

Macros are my biggest challenge! I am always pretty close, but I want to be right on!! Dumb question- is there a way to check the circle graph on the regular website? The only place I have ever seen the circle is on my iPad app.
-
If you didn't manually log any exercise, it would make sense that you only got a Fitbit Adjustment...you are not doing anything wrong. Here is how the Fit/MFP partnership works: First, check to make sure you have the same info on both sites (height, weight, cal goal). Next, go to MFP-My Home-Goals-and check what MFP says…

I just started the 30 day challenge tonight. Thought I was doing pretty good in my journey, but the fit test showed me how out of shape I really am!!! LOVE that they are so short (12 minutes each), but boy do they kick my butt :) And, no equipment necessary!!

Welcome! I have CF and Fibromyalgia among other things. I have found that taking things day by day is the only way I can be successful. Somedays I feel great and exercise to my heart's content. Other days I feel so awful that I can't get off the couch. I had to learn to be ok with that. Having realistic expectations…

Well, I just went to see what else was said on that thread after I left and it has been removed. Soo...apparently it got even more interesting. It was pretty entertaining :smile:
-
Agreed.
-
It does seem silly. I was reading a thread the other day where one girl called EMTWL a cult and a few others joined in. TBH, I get much better advice and support here than I do anywhere else. It's a shame that some people will be scared off because of a few.
-
Agreed. I love the blue cheese one and the tomato red wine.
-
Liked :wink:

Bruschi...go Pats!!

2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with deficiencies in Vitamin D, Iron, and Zinc and also with Fibromyalgia. I have since been taking a 50,000 IU Vitamin D pill once a week and B12, Iron, and Zinc daily. I am truly hopeful that this will help with the depression, fatigue, low moods, and pain I have been dealing with for 13…

Hi all, I was just diagnosed with Fibro 2 weeks ago after 13 years of pain (I am 31). I believe most of my Fibro symptoms were triggered by a horrible case of Mono when I was 17, but I have always had some symptoms-my head has always been so sensitive that I would scream when someone else would brush or braid it. In high…

Great minds think alike!! :wink:

That I was basically starving myself without even realizing it. I thought a Special K bar for breakfast, a Lean Cuisine for lunch, and a healthy dinner made for a great day. Once I started on MFP I realized I was eating about 800 calories a day and had been doing so for about a year and a half! Now I happily take in about…

I have read that there is a significant amount of user error possible on the Bod Pod. Maybe have your BF% tested with calipers just for a comparison? Your BF% seems way high for your height/weight...I would say 23% is much more likely.
-
I haven't been exercising at all, hardly move at all during the day at work, and I still burn 1800+ calories a day according to my Fitbit. ( FYI- I am 5'5" and 125, so my daily burn is naturally low. ) It will not calculate your lifting sessions very well, but the treadmill workouts should put you WAY above those numbers.
-
I would wear both just to see if they are significantly different. If not, then you know you can just wear your Fitbit in the future.
-
I probably make 5-6 of her recipes a week...genius. My husband is amazed at how good the food is. LOVE Skinnytaste!!

Hey Everyone! I am 5'5", 125, looking to build muscle...need to stop looking at the scale! Just started a metabolism reset, so hoping that helps my body get back to normal after eating way low calories forever without even realizing I was doing it! Here's to being athletic and healthy :smile:
