My hubby likes it. I didn't know about the GMO thing, but I have mixed feelings on that anyway. I, personally, have yet to find a Greek yogurt that I like. So far all the ones I have tried taste to sour to me. I also dislike plain yogurt. Is it something you eventually get used to? Is there a brand that is less sour than…

Oh, and I also have sensory issues and they can change day to day. Just something to think about.

Could it possibly be sensory issues? My daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder and has aversions to most foods. Everything she eats has a similar texture, color, smell, taste, etc. Sometimes she can eat foods outside of her restrictive diet, but the most it lasts is a few months and then she stops eating the new food(s).…

I don't log housework as exercise. I set my activity level to lightly active and wear my FitBit One. A plain old pedometer would work too. I found that I burn a decent amount of calories without exercise, which enables me to up my calories more than I was without it.

I can't workout when I get a migraine. I get nauseous and feel like someone is driving an ice pick into my head. Calorie deficit = weight loss, so I don't worry about missing 1 workout. I adjust my calories accordingly. I can't eat when I have a migraine or for a little while after it's gone (especially if I have to resort…

Stick with it! Drinking water has helped my weight loss a ton. For one, I stopped drinking my calories in the form of soda and fruit juices. This was a huge cut in calories and I started losing weight without trying. Another reason is that if your sodium (salt) intake is high, water will help flush that out and cut down on…

A little over one scrambled egg (made 4 and split between 3 people), 2.5 slices of bacon, and some asparagus. Yum!! Oh... and a cold brew coffee with almond milk and stevia. ETA: All that was 336 calories!

Thank you!

I'm in again! My name is Christa and this is my 3rd month doing the walking challenge. I use my FitBit One and count all my mileage for the day. Before February I was a complete couch potato, so the object for me is to just move more! I'm still shooting for 100 miles, although I will be pushing myself to hit closer to 150…

Two lbs in two weeks is great! I'm close to your weight and averaging about the same, only I never go to bed hungry.

I'm going to keep going like I have been and slowly increasing my daily movement. I am using my FitBit to track my daily steps/mileage, so my goal is to eventually only track walks/runs that are purposefully for exercise and outside of my everyday movement.

BUMP! This is full of awesomeness! I need this in my feed. I might even print it out and tape it to my wall!

Absolutely LOVE this! All my previous attempts to lose weight and get in shape failed because of self-hate. We are our own worst enemies!! One day I decided that I did not want my kids to feel about their bodies the way I have felt about mine. It dawned on me that I needed to lead by example. I stopped striving to be…

I had a similar issue on the 10th, except my FitBit didn't die. I have the One and when I put it in the clip case, I put it in backwards. Apparently when the contacts hit that metal surface it makes it shut down, which caused me to lose the whole day. I ended up choosing one of my lower totals from the week before (where I…
