  • Thanks everyone. I do use a food scale. I log my calories via MyFItnessPal and my exercises are auto imported from FitBit. I eat the calorie allowance that MyFitnessPal tells me I should (although I have had about a handful of "bad days" due to a crazy appetite those days but still ate healthy food). Here is my typical…

  • Hi Nickysmom126, for the most part, yes it is! I had 2 c-sections, not to mention the fact that I gained a lot during each pregnancy, lost most of it afterwards, and was about 20 pounds overweight until my kids were about 16 and 18 respectively. 2 years ago, I was referred to mfp by one of my friends who had just prior…

  • We own a camp that we go to every other weekend from Memorial Day until the end of September. Here are some tips for you... For breakfast, I make everyone else regular eggs and myself egg beaters. Beer Can Chicken is a good option, much better than fried, and also quite delicious. For the pizzas, I would just avoid any…

  • I weigh in every day, at the same time, on the same scale. People tell me I shouldn't do it every day but I do anyways ;-)

  • I have been eating back my exercise calories, yes. I did have my birthday in July, which I was bad for the whole week, and I did splurge with the kids for ice cream the other day. But other than that, I have been eating healthy, just really hungry so going over calorie every day. Just a couple of minutes ago, I readjusted…

  • I am pretty sure I did truly gain the 4 pounds....I admittedly drink quite a bit (we went out of town for my birthday), ate like every meal out. I am truly sick over this....I worked so flipping hard to loose the 20 pounds, took 5 months to do, and I gained 5 pounds back in one lousy week.

    in Do you burn more calories in hot weather? Comment by GJ7072 July 2011
  • All the equipment I use are two 5 pound dumb bells. I use them during almost all my exercises, not just the ones for my arms. Every WEEKDAY morning I do abs exercise for 5 minutes, arms for 5 minutes, cardio (jog in place) for 5 minutes for a total of a 15 minute workout. Every WEEKEND morning, I do everything double for a…

  • I have had 2 c-sections and for 17 years had the kangaroo pouch that is FINALLY gone. Thanks to fitnesspal.com, I lost 15 pounds all over. It takes willpower, but here's what I did and I can't believe it either, but my pouch is gone. I never go over my 1200 calorie a day limit, I never go over on my carbs and very rarely…
