  • I second all of these recommendations! I would also like to add to this a fifth. Start with baby steps. Pick one thing you know is bad for you, and ditch it. If you feel as though you can successfully complete 7 whole days without it, pick a second. Keep adding your most unhealthy staples to this, one at a time, each week…

  • Agreed times 1,000! I started a new MFP account, so my actual weight loss of 60 lbs doesn't show. But yes! I didn't get there by shunning advice I didn't like. I didn't get there by fad diets ( although I can't say I've never fallen into that trap... But I learned quickly the ultimate FAIL that they are...). I did it by…

It pushes the organic vegan lifestyle hardcore, which I…

  • The ONLY reason I chose fitbit over Polar is because of the ability to track everything I've done and set goals that sync with my fitbit devices (I have the scale, or Aria as well as the One and the Force) with my phone, iPad and the website. I use those religiously, and they also sync with MFP, which is awesome. Honestly,…

  • It's more often what you're eating rather than how much. Avoid sugar (specifically simple sugars, like sweets and white breads and pastas), and sodium.
