Here! Here! if i like it enough to spend calories on it, i want to love it. flavor, fat, and all. no fake stuff for me. i'd rather eat less and enjoy more.

i agree. kicking out foods usually means a not-overall-healthy diet, and leads me to feeling deprived. i LOVE pasta, especially penne with butter and parmesan. that's. it. DELICIOUS! but i've noticed the calories it takes to allow that in my diet, so i don't have it as often. when i want it, i have it, but i eat a smaller…

just built my ticker. hope i make it...this is my first month. go, little turtle, go!

my june goal is 75 miles. for the month.

i'm in! i've reached 5000 steps in a day twice this month, need some help getting the 'other half' reached. thanks for posting this!

i would suggest as close to your waist as possible for better accuracy, but that's just my suggestion. can you wear it on your pants' waist, under your belt?

i have the zip. i do stairs regularly (live on the 3rd floor, work on the 2nd) and couldn't figure out why it didn't keep track of my floors. guess i didn't read as well as i thought i had. it's not a big deal to me, tho. it still tracks my steps. and as for losing it, i've lost pedometers before, but this clip is very…

i was never diagnosed, but as a child i believe i was anorexic. my mom has a photo of me at the age of 7-8 in which my legs were bones. gross. but at the time i honestly saw myself as fat. i thought i had several extra pounds and wouldn't eat much because i believed i was adding to the fat. looking back, there wasn't any.…

i have a question, relatively related. my husband said i should lift more often than cardio. that's fine. i don't like to sweat so much, anyway. (i know you sweat with weights, but it doesn't pour) anyway, i'm interested in free weights bec i read somewhere that that's better than machine lifting. so...what exercises does…

i don't think i'll EVER get to where you are, but this was quite insightful. i'm shy, so it's always good to be prepared, right? :smile: thanks!

great job! soon you'll wonder why you thought they were so heavy. :wink: keep up the good work!

i like the dove promises for my chocolate craving. i can stop at one, and it makes me feel like i'm not denying myself anything. that puts me back in control. :tongue:

bump. i want to listen to this later.

i agree, basically. 45-60 min is a big chunk of time and feels daunting. when i'm not motivated, i tell myself i'll walk for 10-15 min. sometimes i can keep going, but sometimes that's really all i can do. also, i tell myself i need to walk in the morning to boost my metabolism for the day (not sure if it's true), and then…

have to admit, i have, on occasion, been tempted. but i try to remember it's only hurting me, and tomorrow's a new day, i can do better. then i look at why i ate so much, usually because i didn't exercise that day. it also helps that my husband is on mfp, too, and he always errs on the side of too many calories...then…

i want to be able to keep up with the suggestions. i know this will be me soon, and i fear it is my husband now. :(

that's amazing! seems unreal, but you did it! great job!

that's awesome! it's amazing what you can do in a year. i haven't started taking pictures yet, but i think i will. i hope to have made such progress myself by next year! thanks for your inspiration.

i had hashimoto's (before having my thyroid removed due to cancer) and have been diagnosed with pcos. i feel your pain. i have to exercise or i can't stay within my calorie goal. i get hungrier and have less self-control on my non-exercise days. last week i was eating all my exercise calories back (it was a bad week), but…

Callanetics. it's like pilates, but better. it combines yoga, ballet, and pilates. in 10 hours (each session is an hour) you see marked difference. i love it. it tightens up your whole body and stretches you out. it's "a series of delicate, precise movements" and stretches to get you lean and mean. and smooth and…

done. quite comprehensive, good survey.

i just posted all kinds of great info, and lost it. :( i'll do my best to re-create it. i bought the zip a couple months ago and LOVE it. i couldn't justify the cost difference on our budget, but now we're wanting to get one for my husband, too. it's very motivating. sometimes when i don't feel like walking, i actually…

i don't 'plan' it, but i probably should...it'd probably make me do better the rest of the week. usually i have 1 or 2 days that i go over calories once a week or two. usually that's due to one meal those days, but i guess i figure as long as my week average is still within range it's not THAT big of a deal...and since…

i like endomondo because it syncs to a website that gives you coupons and free stuff based on your points accumulation which is based on how active you are. that website (earndit.com) also syncs with my fitbit, but they (endomond & fitbit) sync with mfp so i don't have to re-enter anything, it's all automatic. endomondo…

jean shorts. which don't ride up between the thighs. and i have a super cute short black skirt and a beaded silk top that i'm looking forward to finally being too small for. :) it's been about 20 years since i've been at my goal weight, so i'd have to get a new wardrobe.
