I love my Charge 2!

Lowest weight seen is my new weight, I totally agree. I fluctuate like insanity.

Ummm have you remembered to drop your calories by 10-20 for every 10lb you lose? If you update your current weight under “goals” MFP actually does this automatically for you. So instead of tracking your weight under “progress”, track it under “goals” and you get automatic calorie adjustments.

I honest can’t stand the taste of Quest bars. For cheap brands I can grab at the grocery store I like Pure Protein in double chocolate. For expensive fitness store brands that I have to order online I like Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites in birthday cake. I just ordered 3 different flavors of O.N. Opti-Bars as well. I’m…

I like a nice light carb/protein/fat combo. Just a couple hundred calories worth for a bit of an energy boost. I can NOT eat a full meal, I will feel sick and horrible.

This sounds like so much fun!! Wish I could just link it to my Fitbit though because I won’t remember to upload every day.

I way everyday, multiple times a day, but it’s more for mentally tracking trends. I only record overall losses. I’m very sensitive to sodium so I like to see how varying amounts in my diet effect my water retention. Or get an idea of how much water weight I retain for recovery on cardio days vs lifting days. Or TOM etc.…

I’m not really a fan of cardio machines, I’d rather walk/run outside, dance or kickbox. But I DO actually like recumbent bikes. I haaaate the regular stationary bike (which is all my new gym has), but really love recumbent bikes.

I love the calorie adjustment. I set MFP to sedentary activity then just track all activity with my FitBit. It automatically adjusts my calories for me and from that I do what I like.

Love that you eat a pound of chicken. People look at me crazy when I say my meat servings per meal are 8-12oz. (Unless I’m eating steak at a restaurant, then it’s always 14oz lol).

Totally counts. I’ll add all the fun zero calorie sodas as well, like diet root beer and diet cream soda, yum!

Scanning things into the recipe builder would be AMAZING! I love the scanner. I would say that for me it’s accurat 90-95% of the time.

The other day I scanned a barcode for watermelon and I think it came up as some kind of bread.

Thankfully in Canada, Thanksgiving and Christmas are 3 months apart. Thanksgiving is a single day so that can be tackled as any other special day, like a birthday etc. Track the calories, don’t pile your plate to the sky etc. Christmas is a bit more difficult because it’s a “season”, so people try to feed you all month. At…

Pineapple, watermelon, butternut squash, shirataki noodles, rice crackers.

Ugggh. Stupid freezing Canadian winter. I’m going to try, TRY to use the treadmill at the gym. I freaking hate treadmills so I’m the spring/summer I walk/run outside on my recovery days. I tried to convince myself that I will keep it up in winter if I can just get warm enough but that’s a lie. If we had a recumbent bike in…

Oh, I just remembered that I have a caveat. Kickboxing. I like kickboxing with other people.

I echo the previous sentiment that other people are the worst. Just leave me alone to lift my weights.

Ok I’m sooo excited for my next mini goal. I have just under 10lb left to lose in order to hit Onederland! Yaaaaaaay!! 199lb here I come! (Started at 251lb)

Woooooo!!!!

Are you kidding me? The UK is getting it before Canada??? Ugh, I’m just going to go have a pout now.

Highest: 251 Current: 210.6 Goal: 150 Possible secondary goal: 140-130 (depending on how I feel at 150 and body composition. *I loved myself at 150 but I’m ten years older now so I’m prepared to reassess).

When my measurements hit the next size down I buy a couple of new pieces for work in the smaller size and get rid of anything in the larger size that has become unflattering. (Some clothes still look good over multiple sizes due to cut). Yesterday I almost cried when I finally gave up my red tunic because not even a belt…

Good god no! I can bloat up to 10lb in water weight. The upside is that I have a revved up metabolism during that time, so after I have a really big weight drop.

Bikinis. Oh my god I miss bikinis. And really tight tops. Gonna bust those out for sure.

I count, and I hope that I will be counting for a long loooong time. Because I cannot be trusted. Rice, potatoes, bread, cheese. I could easily overeat on these if I'm not counting. But when I DO count I feel free. I can fit in chocolate cake and grilled Brie sandwiches with hot pepper jelly on freshly baked crusty French…

The other week I bought a shirt from a non-Plus sized store for the first time in years. Just a regular mall store. It wasn't even their largest size! They go up to XXL and I fit an XL! I ordered it online and it arrived today and looks GREAT. I'm so friggin thrilled! I'm right on the cusp of fitting both straight and plus…

I'm going with my favorite weight from before, but then when I get there I'll reassess my goals as I'm doing completely different fitness at this time.

Yup! It's my best friends bachelorette party all day today and I've been banking calories all week. Not only eating a couple hundred under my daily goal on a few days but also not eating back any of my exercise calories. I now have over 5,000 calories that I can eat to day and still stay right on track for 1.5lb loss this…

Annoyance, disappointment, disbelief, and all around "boo on this"? Sure. But "vitriol"? Im really not seeing that in the responses. Many people here simply seem to believe there are better ways to tackle the issue.
