  • so I started wearing Palazzo pants (loose baggy elastic waist) to work. Very dangerous. I can not fit into my button and zip clothes any more. I have gained back every ounce that I lost about 2 years ago. Now that fall is here and winter coming, I will either need to buy all new clothes (in the size I am in now) or get…
  • Anyone ever feel like they have so much going on that they can't really focus on one thing? Like "Made to Crave" book? I am in the middle of like 4 books. I so need to stop and focus on one thing at a time and do that one thing well. Saying "Yes" to too much stuff? Any thoughts from anyone on this?
  • Yesterday's goals were met except for taking measurements to better track progress. Today's goals: 1. Take Measurements!!! No matter how bad I don't like them. 2. Get a min of 64 oz of water. 3. Go top gym and finish my step goal for Fitbit and do lower body workout on machines in the circuit. 4. Track everything!!! (so…
  • First day of challenge. Already added my info to spreadsheet. Goals for today: 1. Get in all my water- min of 64oz. I try to drink more though 2. take body measurements tonight :\ Not sure how I will feel about the starting numbers but my mentor said it is important!! 3. Go to gym and do cardio and upper body on circuit 4.…
  • Joined and I have already added my information to spreadsheet! Planning on working hard! I have to say that I will be having a vacation during this time frame though!!!
  • I would love and need to be mentored. I am 35 years old. I am married with 2 kids. I have a sedentary job. In 2013 I went from 185 to 161 in about 6 months by counting calories and going to the gym. Unfortunately, I got out of the routine after vacation and never really got back into being focused. Until now. I started…
  • I wear my Fitbit Charge on my non-dominant hand but have it set as dominant. This is my personal preference and since I just started with my Fitbit and MFP seriously on Sunday, I am still learning and tweaking. I personally don't want it too sensitive which is why I have it on my non-dominant hand but marked as dominant. I…
  • Just got my FitBit for Christmas so I am learning about the adjustment for calories. My original goal was 1200 but according to both Fitbit and MFP, I am eating too few calories. I am 5'8 and weigh 178. Would like to get down to at least 150. I think my diary is set to view. I will check. I am open to anyone adding me as a…
  • Slice an apple and add PB to each slice! Yummy!! I like the Peter Pan Whipped Peanut Butter.
  • I am here! With my new Fitbit, I have a little more motivation going! always to get encouragement and add friends who can give advice with calories, recipes and also workout ideas. need some peeps who can help with that!!
  • Thanks! I will adjust my calorie goal in MFP. I love almonds (the smoked flavor is yummy). and some other good foods (like fruit or vegetables cooked sensibly or raw)
  • I would love to join!!!! I am using fitbit charge and MFP. Still working on adjusting my calories to add back for exercise, but so far I have been below my calorie needs. My poor brain doesn't like the fact that I need to eat more!!! I guess that is okay as long as what I am eating isn't pure junk right? I will try to add…
  • My question is the same...Only I love the elliptical.. Do I log in MFP or Fitbit? Does the elliptical count as steps or exercise? Do I want to get my steps (10,000 goal) and do elliptical and other exercise on top of steps? Need advice here...
  • What about the elliptical? I love the elliptical and burn more calories on that than just walking on the treadmill. Where should I log that activity? And what about weights? Log it on MFP or Fitbit? I have learned to only log water and food in the MFP app. Just got my Fitbit for Christmas and really started working with…
  • I am also looking for a good fitness tracker. I would like to sync it with MFP. I am looking specifically for one that counts steps, monitors HR (to at least give me a good idea), and works to help me as I am in the gym to more accurately count my calories. I am seeing some great information. When does the new Fitbit…
  • I have read the book and I have the devotional on my Kindle. It is really good. I enjoyed it. I may just start reading it again and join you! I have just gotten back in the groove of trying to lose weight again. MyFitnessPal is a great tool for me to use and I love it. good luck to you!
