  • The fact that this topic was started a week ago and the issues are STILL not resolved had me question my renewed membership. As a test yesterday, I went back to my past site (SP), linked by FitBit and my exercise info has synced correctly every two hours -- including SLEEP (love this!) -- yesterday and today. So adios,…
  • This "bug"has been a nightmare for me. I just purchased my first FitBit last Sunday. Set it up and synced it Sunday evening and went to bed. Was psyched to see how accurately my sleep was recorded that night (I know I'm restless during my first hour of sleep and Fitbit nailed it.) So Monday morning I hit the treadmill and…
  • I'm the OP and want to add final thanks for everyone's replies. Your assumption about my impatience was deserved. I failed to mention that I have been on programs (primarily WW) once every decade for the 30 years. I successfully lost and maintained each time, but also know it is a slow, dedicated process. Everyone strictly…
  • Congratulations! You look so great.
  • It would be a sad day for me to remove my beloved green beans from my diet just because I could not pronounce Haricots Verts (French for Green Beans). :p
  • I could never take the widely-advertised grocery store multi-vitamin brands as they tore up my stomach. Several years ago, I discovered the MegaFood vitamin line and have had no problems since. The company has been around since 1973 and only use whole foods to create their vitamins. I can even take them on an empty stomach…
  • So sorry for your night, but glad you still have your sense of humor. Consider it a "cleanse/detox"? Good luck and drink LOTS of water.
  • Do you have a Kernel Seasons shaker that states only 5 calories per 1/4 tsp? The only reason I ask is because my local stores don't carry it, but I was getting ready to order online. I visited the Kernel Seasons website and they list nothing less than 80 cals per 1/4 tsp for any of their products. I am really interested if…
  • Been lurking this thread for weeks and, although a bit overwhelmed, I am joining in the fun. 59, female, single, mother/grandmother I look forward to following and contributing to this great group.
  • I appreciate the reply, JennieMaeK. I am using my Apple Watch and the Health app to calculate my exercise calorie burn because heart rate is measured, but I know that it also has calculation flaws. As long as either MFP or Apple estimates at least 250 kc, I never eat back more than 100 kc. I have no problem meeting my…
  • Thank you, loubday. I do weigh myself at exactly the same time every Monday a.m., but I did not think of the possible muscle increase. I have been using exercise bands and doing several reps a week. This could also be why my jeans fit. By golly, lunges and squats evidently may matter. :D I will ignore the scale this week…
  • I also LOVE Bolthouse and it's the only Blue Cheese dressing I have used in years. Delicious! The creamy Blue Cheese is only 35 cal for 2 TB, but I think their vinaigrette BC is a little higher.
  • Looking at these photos is like seeing a flower bloom. A happy face that just gets brighter and new colorful, stylish clothes. Congratulations on this big success and cannot wait to see the next set.
  • I so needed to read a success post like yours today. A few weeks ago I decided to get serious about getting back to a healthy weight. I knew it would be tough and that I should also start exercising (for my health). I had an almost new treadmill in a spare room that had become a storage area for clutter. I cleared that off…
  • Forgot to clarify, my question was NEVER to copy public Food DB items. I ALWAYS enter a product name in MFP, verify the correct nutrient profile, and add it to my meal. In my opinion, MFP is the best source for correct food profiles. I was not questioning MFP's food database, and rarely find a need to look elsewhere. As a…
  • Thanks much for your explanation. I just realized that when I was trying to add a food from my Recents list, I had not clicked the drop-down option for ALL and it was defaulting to my last menu (i.e., Breakfast). I do have to say that this is more convenient, but what would be a better option is: * Searching for a food *…
  • Congratulations on quitting! I quit four years ago and there are too many benefits to mention. Yes, I did gain about 30 pounds, BUT I was also going thru menopause. That does not mean that YOU will gain, though. The average quitter gains between 10-12 pounds, but takes it off in a few months. Just like this wonderful MFP…
  • Way to go, Katie! Hope to see your posts on your goals and strategies here soon!
  • I feel your pain, YeaYea. The lack of nearby Trader Joe's is not just limited to rural areas. I live on the bustling Central FL east coast and the closest TJ is 48 miles away. Even if I chose to go, the traffic to get there (thru Orlando) is horrendous. Have fun in CA!
  • Loved the title of this thread so came for motivation, then realized that I had to come to terms with my OWN ah-ha moment. OMG, that was so painful and I ended up in tears today, but here goes my confession. Hopefully, it inspires someone else. As I've posted elsewhere on the board, for all my life I was a yo-yo…
