I was obsessing over carbs as well but had to take a step back because it was getting ridiculous. I wouldn't focus so much on carbs from fruits or veggies but more from breads, pastas, flour, etc. That being said, I make sure I put most of my focus on Protein and fiber as those are what will fill me up. Although the carbs…

Ha..too funny!! I just went on here to see if anyone used the Fitbit HR Charge because I asked for one for my birthday coming up. Coincidently, I'm 5'2.... Not sure what my stride length is but glad I found this post or else I'd of never even thought of it. I have been a Fitbit user for about 8 years. I have the FB One and…

I would suggest a Fitbit also. Any kind really. I have the Fitbit One and I LOVE IT!! I've had it for a few years and I have gone back and forth as to whether or not I want to get a newer one but I figured until its completely dead, I'm good. LOL. I use my fitbit and also have the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor and those…

The Biggest Loser game is also great. I've been using that for my training currently. I'm on week 6 of my 12 week plan and I love it. Today I just got the Nike + Kinect Training game so I'm super pumped to give it a try!

One thing I do is that I always bring a calculator with me when I food shop. I have a set budget I need to stick by and I round everything up to the nearest dollar. You'd be amazed what you can actually get and how much you save, It makes you more aware of what your spending and forces you to look into other cheaper…

Hi there! I have the Fitbit and I absolutly love it! I love the fact that it works side by side with MFP when linked up. I don't use the HRM so it's hard for me to compare the 2. I guess I'm pretty one sided. LOL Fitbit will also track your sleeping patterns and how many stairs you climb. Combined with the fact that you…

I'm right there with you! I myself have been up and down with my weight! I'm tired of it. The hardest part of the whole journey is making the decision and taking the first step to do something about it. Good for you!! You are welcome to add me as a supportive friend if you'd like. I find that is one of the biggest things I…

Almonds are great to eat but like the others said, you want to watch the portion size. I get the 100 calorie packs and I'll have 1 pack with my lunch or as a snack. It's just enough for me to get in my fix. As far as granola, same thing. Portion it out. Try it as an added item to yogurt in the morning for breakfast. I…

Hi there! I can totally understand where you are coming from. I am always up and down with my weight. I heard about MFP thru a friend and was totally excited and ready to go but there I sat. What got me going was talking to a co-worker about it and finding out she had it as well. I knew I had to do something so I started…

:heart: I totally agree with this. It's hard enough for us to make the changes we have to but to do it around non supportive people make our journey that much harder. Stress does not help and will make it harder for you to lose the weight. You need "you" time and the only way to do that is to rid the unsupportive. Good…

I totally understand!! I am a diet coke junkie and it was hard to give up!! I would go thru a 12 pack in less than a week. I would actually buy a 12 pack at the store and also grab a 20 oz. bottle to drink on the way home!! CRAZY!!! I noticed like you that when I "cleaned" my body of the soda and just drank water I noticed…

I'm sure this is going to sound wierd, but it's so good! (Well, I think it is anyway) I'm a salad nut too. Always have one with my meals at night. One night, I decided to try something different and I added one of those Minuite Rice Single serving cups (Brown and long grain rice) to my salad with my normal 1/2 Tablespoon…

Absolutely! I'm in the exact same boat! I work shipping and receiving and also am walking around constantly at work. I never really knew exactly how much I walked around until I got the fitbit. I was shocked! I avg. about 3 miles a day! I was a member of weight watchers 3 times and yes, the program does work, but I found…

It's nice to see I'm not the only one who had the oatmeal for breakfast! Usually I'll have it with 1 packet of Equal with or without the banana, but your Honey idea sounds delish! I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion! :-)
