I have the link. Although you can "link" it to your phone through blue tooth all it will do is show you the data at the time you link it. It will not transfer the information to MFP (or from what I read on BodyMefia FAQ, it will not even link the information to your account online so you can view it on the computer) until…

I realize I have not been on MFP very long, and I am no expert in weight loss but I can tell you this much. Just because MFP says it will work doesn't mean it is going to work for you. Just because everyone on MFP says their way will work doesn't mean it will work for you. You need to tweek things here and there until you…

I say measure the one you want and stick to that. Or do like I do and measure both. I think seeing any numbers shrink is positive reinforcement for you.

When you g et measured for a bra they measure your chest (under boobs) and your bust (around boobs). The size of your chest (under boobs) is the number size. The cup size is somehow then dependent on the difference between the chest and bust. SO... if you want your chest size measure under your boobs.

Great job. What is NSV?

Bust: Don't squish yourself -- measure all the way around your bust and back right at your nipple line, and make sure the tape measure is not lower. Chest: Measure under your breasts but as high up as you can go, keeping the tape measure parallel to this line when you reach it around your back. Waist: Measure wherever it…

Day one done! Not so bad. I recently did the KettleWorx workout program and after the first workout, and the million or so squats I couldn't really sit, stand, walk or use the toilet without difficulty. I think it prepared me for this. The hardest part for me was the push-ups (I have always been very challenged by them)…

I don't actually have a copy of this yet. I am supposed to get it from a friend this weekend. I did check out the video you posted here but I have a few questions. It looks like I need weights. Do you have any recommendations for weight. When I do my Kettle ball exercises I use 1 5lb ball. So you think I should use…

There is a website called Active.com and there you can find races of all types in your area and around the country. I think you can even set it up to get email notifications of races in your area. Keep up the good work. A 5k is something to be proud of. And I like your time. My first ever, and only at this point, 5K my…

I am totally in. My cousin is supposed to drop the DVD off for me this weekend. I am really looking forward to doing it and I would love some support and motivation and story swapping friends! Is it really as hard as people make it sound? I never even looked it up, I don't want to psych myself out of doing it.

It doesn't sound to me like you are harming yourself. If you told me that you aim for 1200 every day and you are always way below and never eat back your exercise calories I may worry for you a bit. Only my opinion.

This gives me hope! Thanks. I know it will happen and I am really looking forward to it.

I trained for a 5K this year. Before that I never ran a mile in my life. It was hard. I will not lie. I find running to be the hardest exercise. I am sure many will disagree, hopefully you will too. Anyway... stick to the plan. Don't overdo it. I always like to eat a few hours before exercise and some form of protein…

When the light bulb finally went off you made an amazing change to make your life better. Be proud. I am proud of you. I hope your family understands just how hard it can be to stop eating that way. My family has a hard time with it. My dad will say "Ruth, have more." He doesn't like when I say no. Problem is, he is…

My cousin is going to lend it to me this week. I plan to start it ASAP. I would love to hear about your experiences and share mine with you as well.

Please excuse me if I am in the wrong for asking but do you need to lose the weight in order to become pregnant or do you just hope to lose it before you try? I have never been pregnant, nor have I ever tried to become pregnant so I am not sure if this is something you need to do or just a desire. Either way, I support you…

Awesome! I can't wait to join you one day. Keep up the great work!!

Oh thanks. I did go back and read your post. it sounds like BodyMedia might be a good choice for me. At this point I still need to justify spending $120. if it really will help with my weight loss journey I say it is probably worth it. If I am just going to spend more time at the computer because of it and less time being…

I recently posted something similar and no one responded to me: I use a heart monitor watch. I also like to use the GPS app on my phone to track my miles and time. I used both today during my walk. I went 2.5 miles in 45 minutes. According the the app I burned 293 calories. According to the heart monitor I burned 500. My…
