I know a little about the bb & it seems like it would be most effective if you plan to wear it all day everyday. That seems like a pain in the *kitten*! I got my F6 more than a year ago & not only am I completely happy w/it but feel no desire to purchase a bb. I log all my food/beverages here on MFP & use my F6 to track…

Congratulations! All your hard work is clearly paying off! You look fabulous :)

Have you looked @ a side-by-side comparison picture? Similar/same outfit & pose? I'd be willing to bet that if you did that you'd see a difference.

You look simply fabulous :)) Isn't it amazing how much more real the weight loss feels when you post a side-by-side photo?

I don't specifically know that phone so I might not be much help :( My old phone was a Palm Treo so I accessed MFP via the web browser--the functionality was somewhat limited ( like I could add food to diary from "recent" & "favorite foods" but couldn't search for new foods). New phone is a palm pixi & the website works…

F6 all the way baby!

Congrats! Keep up the hard work and you'll reach your goal in no time : )

Are you washing the actual watch or just the chest strap? The only thing your supposed to wash is the chest strap? And only by hand in pure water. Personally, I wash mine every time I use it but all I do is rinse it off in warm water when I take my after-workout shower. I dry it the same as my sports bra--put on towel,…

Both of my parents have sleep apnea and both took some time to adjust to the machine. I believe each of them also went through a few masks before finding the one that fit each of them best. So if your mask is not staying on, you need to talk to your doctor about alternatives because if the mask can' t stay on, the machine…

Although no where does it indicate that the F6 comes with the chest strap it DOES COME WITH IT! That a GREAT price!

I'll bet if you look at the pics side-by-side you'll be able to see that there's a definite difference! I've been doing side-by-sides since I started & can always see more of a difference than just looking at them separately. I like to do it in Microsoft Publisher since I can save it as a jpeg to post here once I've…

My advice! Don't do something just because someone says to....Do what works for you. Some people can't "cheat" once a week b/c then they go overboard afterwards too....Others can. Personally, I'm most successful when I allow "cheats" here and there..not a set day or meal just when I really want to like when I'm craving…

Thanks soo much for the information! Can't wait to check out the links

You are a hot mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, welcome to MFP and congratulations on making the decision to do something good for yourself. I am proof that absolutely anyone can lose weight if they are just willing to make the commitment to eating healthy and being active. I started here at 235 lbs. After 1 month lost 15lbs. After 1.5 months 26lbs. After…

I'd suggest you double check your settings. I honestly can't imagine that MFP would suggest that you would lose weight eating 2400 base calories. From what your profile states, you are a 27 year old female. I don't know what your current weight is, but when I started I was 235lbs (31 yr old female) and looking to lose 100+…

Absolutely couldn't have done it without MFP. For 30 years I was the fat girl who could never be thin.....Now I've lost count of the number of strangers who have commented on how small I am. I still haven't gotten used to being a size 4 and still consider myself a work in progress, but I'm the healthiest I've been my…

Do what works for you : ) If it doesn't work for you you won't end up doing it. I'm a night person, so I workout in the evenings. Only exception is the weekend when I go at whatever time suits my schedule best. So if you prefer mornings, do morning. If you prefer evening, do evening. If you prefer lunchtime, do lunchtime.…

Polar F6 ALL THE WAY! I've had mine since shortly after beginning this journey and I LOVE IT!!!! Best investment I've ever made. It's amazing to me how inaccurate the estimates I was getting for calorie burn were...Now that I have my F6 I feel confident that I can eat all my exercise calories without having to worry about…

All I know is this....If I ate/ingested something new and a couple hours later I was vomitting I would immediately stop taking it.

I'm hoping that works for me....I'm way to young to have such sad looking breasts : (

Starvation Mode isn't an immediate thing! It's a cumulative effect that happens over time....One person could go into starvation mode in a few weeks whereas another person could take months....The point is that I have yet to encounter anyone on here who has done less than 1200 cals per day LONG TERM, has had steady weight…

As for being low on fat & high on protein, I've been doing that since I started & have had no problem losing weight. But do be sure to get some far b/c a lot of vitamins/minerals are fat soluble & can't be digested without dietary fat. Other than that I concur on fresh vs packaged/ frozen. A lot of packaged/frozen foods…

Hmmmm! You might regret saying that if you end up in my shoes : ( ......At 235 lbs my breasts were 40DD.....Around 185lbs I was a 36DD.....At 134lbs I'm now a 34C and not only are they small now, they look like deflated balloones......It was almost like not a single ounce of fat left my boobs for the first 60 or 70 lbs and…

The only real way to do it is with a heart rate monitor (hrm). That's because, depending on what you're doing for strength training, your heart rate can vary greatly making estimates really unrealiable. As an example I did 16 mins of strength one day and burned 84 cals, another day 18 minutes/116 cals, another day 34…

Melissa, Having now looked through ur food diary for the last few days I can't believe that your dinners leave you feeling "stuffed" & that you're even able to function. You are doing soo much harm to yourself eating soooo little. You really should print a copy of your diary & then go see a doctor or nutritionist & show…

I can't help but notice that you mention "huge dinner" several times but make no mention of other meals. You should be eating at least 3 meals per day...better to have 3 meals & 2 snacks! You shouldn't have any problem hitting 1200 doing that. Also, your body can only digest soo much food in 1 sitting...I forget the exact…

I'd be willing to bet you're dehydrated & malnourished. You should be eating no less than 1200 net calories (calories eaten - calories burned through exercise) per day. If you don't change you're eating & drinking habits you run the risk of doing damage to your body. You don't have to eat huge meals or guzzle water you…

I hate to say it.....but I believe you misunderstood how MFP works.....You are already on a calorie deficit....Example: Based on my stats and "sedentary" lifestyle, MFP estimates that I need 1650 calories per day. So if I were to eat 1650 calories I would maintain my current weight. However, I am still trying to lose some…
