And cardio helps fight depression and improves your moods. Maybe not while your doing it, if you're not enjoying it, but after you have done it for a while you will notice a difference. You just have to find something you enjoy. Go for a bike ride, hike some trails, kayaking, jump roping, dancing or swimming. Just put some…

I didn't even see this comment on the soda stream before I posted mine. Yes, there are many different flavors for the soda stream, not just soda's. Lemonades, ginger ale, fruit punch, and tons more. There is sure to be something to satisfy your sweet tooth. And even if you drink regular soda on the soda stream the calories…

I start my day with my Diet Dr. Pepper because I don't drink coffee and then switch to water for the rest of the day. Occasionally I will have a Diet Pepsi with supper if we go out for pizza or something. Some foods just need a pop instead of water. I bought a Soda Stream and am totally in love with it. There are home made…

Ooh. That is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing.

I'm right there with you, almost same stats too except I've been "off the wagon" for about a year. I still exercise buy my eating habits are terrible. Like one of the posters said, progress is motivating. I've started logging my food again this week and started out terrible but getting better as the week goes on. Keep…

No one has one of these phones??

I want lean, muscular legs that look great in shorts. I have not worn shorts since before my first child was born and she just graduated from high school. I also want to run a half marathon, and be strong enough to do pull ups.

Me too. Personally I find it obsessive, but the more I read the more I think I need to try it.

Also this^^ I have not worn shorts for 20 years. I would love to get small enough and have nice, muscular legs to wear shorts again someday.

I'm in a size 16, down from a 22. My goal was to get to a size 10, but I have a TON of clothes in the 12/14 range that I used to wear a long time a go. I have a whole wardrobe, dress clothes, jeans, sweaters, etc. But I also have a dress that is a size 8 that I used to love. It's navy blue with white polka dots,…

The only time I ever have had a vertical red line on my stomach was when I was pregnant. And I have all kinds of rolls when I sit.

Congrats on begging to run. I love to run, but running does not like my body at all. I suffer from chronic shin splints, have had tendonitis a couple of times and a stress fracture so I'm warning you on not doing too much too soon. That being said running can be so rewarding. I agree with everyone on the shoes. Go to a…

Ever heard of modifying??

I'm closer to 20-25 lbs to lose a jean size.

I 100% agree with you on this. I am in the same situation. I lost 75 lbs here on MFP then stress hit, life hit and I'm back to eating the sugary carb crap and I can't stop. I'm up 15 lbs. I know what I need to do, but I just don't have the will power to do it. I'm am stressed to the max and a cake, cookie, donut or candy…

I do too. Have since I was in my 20's. I wake up in the morning and my hands are so puffy I can't make a fist and have to retie my shoes mid day because my feet as swollen in the mornings. My doc put me on a light diuretic (water pill). I helps but is not a cure. The only thing that makes it go away is diet. Eating clean,…

Me too!! Guess what I had planned for supper tonight? Popcorn and a movie!! We do it weekly.

He had to have felt like he was on a constant insulin level roller coaster. Sugar high, sugar low, all day, every day for 2 months! Wow! I feel bad for the guy for feeling that way, but yet I'm impressed he could stick to it for that long.

I exercise to keep depression in check. I can tell when I miss a few workouts because I start to get really edgy and crabby. Something about a heart pumping sweat session with loud music in my ears that makes things all better!!

I felt the same way about not posting my workouts on the news feed. I just post my workout on the news feed with only 1 calorie so my friends see I'm still working but then Fitbit can adjust my calories as needed.

Eat an apple, every day. And try to limit bananas.

When you complete your diary at the end of the day the only thing it does is post it to your news feed so your friends can see it. I log all all my food, good and bad, but I stopped completing my diary at the end of the day because of the stupid message that said "If every day were like today you would weight XXX in 5…

I have a Fitbit Connected and if I don't exercise mine does that too. But it does even out and give them back throughout the day. Just get moving and your tracker will give them back.

You and anyone can add me. I turn 40 next Thursday, the 19th.

I added some of you on Fitbit. If anyone wants to add me too I'm https://www.fitbit.com/user/36VTL2. I've got a Charge HR for about a month now and I am loving it. You can also add me on here too. One can never have too much support and motivation!!

I've had mine a week and love it. //www.fitbit.com/user/36VTL2

I got mine on Amazon last Wednesday and had it Friday. I just looked and they only have the small available, but keep checking throughout the day, especially first thing in the mornings and it can change. That's what happened to me. I had been watching them for a week and I gave up and ordered the flex on Tuesday night,…

Maybe it's menopause...

Fitbit will give you calories for your workouts and also if you add a workout into MFP you are essentially doubling your workout calories. I enter my workout on MFP as 1 calorie and then let Fitbit make its own adjustments so they are not doubled up. If that makes sense.
