Thank you for all your advice. I'm gonna wash it today and then try again. At some point last night I got it working, but after my exercise. I just wear it around the house to see how long it would work (it beeped the whole time), and it lasted a bit. Maybe I just need to learn how to use it properly... have heard that…

It's brand new, out of the box. Shouldn't it have a full battery? I've read on the Internet it allerts when the battery is getting empty... no sign of that.

Period can lead to bloathing, especially when you give in to cravings and eat salty foods or sweets the days before. When you are on your period you get bloathed easier. But it's one of those things that vary from a person to another. I personally weight less on my period and I could swear that my belly looks smaller the…

In my opinion even the most gorgeous man on earth looks bad with speedos. They can ruin the nest bodies. Just like those micro-bikinis look bad on women. It's... strange... Boardshort are good for beach sports... but I see them as strange when just sitting at the beach. Trunks. Definetly trunks. Not to tight, not to baggy.…

Hypermarket (I don't know if the term is also used in other countries, but in Europe it's a common term) - I buy most of my groceries here (meat, dairy, cans, more `exotic` / hard to find veggies and fruits, spices, and so on). Veggies/fruit market - I buy mostly in the warm seassons, as more local produces come to the…

I'm an software enginner in a more R&D area. I tend to sit a lot at my computer most times at work, but I also go and talk with my colleagues, to the lab and so on. We are encouraged to get up at least once an hour for a good stretch so it's not a totally sedentary work place. The job itself isn't getting me a healthy…

Nothing beats waxing (or pulling out all the hair) in my opinion. It's just great results, lasts 3 weeks (at least) and the hair grows back smooth, not that rough like from shaving/trimming/depilatory cream. If I shave, I get that rough feel in 12-24 hours. And the hair growing looks terrible. It hurts. But you get used…

I weight in almost everyday because I want to be able to cope with the daily weight fluctuations. You know, try to understand and accept them. But my weight-in day is Sunday morning. I find that weight in to be `the one` (like the consistent one), taking into account the other days and my lifestyle.

I eat eggs (always whole) and include them in recipies and I am healthy as I can be and I lose weigth. And I have a very low cholesterol. Sunday and Saturdays morning I would always have 2 eggs cooked in one way or another, with a bunch of other stuff and they keep me full for my week-end activities. They are a great food…

I try not to workout on a full stomach, so I space my workouts and meals/snacks depending on what I eat. I feel bad when I workout on an full stomach, especially when doing intensive exercises (nice way to say I feel like pucking).

1. Pounds lost: around 60 lbs (I still have more, but I'm getting very close) 2. How long it took: 1 year and a half (I wanted to make it slow and permanent) 3. How many calories you were eating a day: 1700-1800 (net) 4. How many days a week you worked out: 3-7 (depending on my program, I just work out if I have time, but…

it's seasons changing right now, so it is very likely to feel somewhat tires, maybe even hungry. It's called spring fatigue. Most people suffer from it in March-April, especially in geographic areas with 4 actual seasons (like, not summer all year long in temperatures or winter and snow all the year round). Personally I…

1. A scale. It is very important to weight things. 2. Make a plan. It doesn't have to be anyones else plan. It has to work for YOU. 5-6 meals a day, 3 meals and 2 snacks, 3-4 small meal and a huge dinner, it doesn't matter. It has to work for you and your lifestyle. You have to be prepared 99% of time to follow it. Keep…

I'm also 5'7'' and when I started here I thought I would be rather good with a 130/135 goals. Now I'm down to 147 lbs (from 210) and I still have to lose a good amount of belly and leg fat, still need to tone a little here, a little there.. and I have to lower even more my body fat. Now I'm thinking of going to125 lbs.…

BMI is accurate for the `average` person, aka a generalization. Like calorie intake for a certain height, it's just a number made up on an statistical average at some point. It's accurate on average, but sometimes fails for a certain individual, because we are unique in the end. In the end, people do have larger/smaller…

Pre-logging it's just natural for me. I pre-log my lunch if a pack one for work. I pre-log my breakfast and snacks when I prepare them in the evening. Why wait to actually eat the food to log it, when I make the serving / weight the evening before? It would be strange. What would I do? Remember that I put 300 grams of rice…

It's pretty much different for every women, so you must find out on your own what happends to your body. Personally, I weight less on the day before and first day (also my tummy seems to shrink more)... I actually feel my `skinniest` on the first day. Then by day 2 and 3, I suddently gain 500-700 grams that I lose steady…

Depends on what your eat... I can easily get passed 120 calories of protein daily. Just by having meat with every meal (lunch, dinner) and an yoghurt at breakfast. Cottage cheese has proteins and it's just a great snack. Eggs... again... source of protein. Beans and lentils have good proteins. There are so many types of…

Well... there are tons of successfull people on MFP, so this is a proof that it works. Calories in - calories out it's bassically chemistry, aka a science. Our metabolism burns calories to make us live and perform. Too much, the metabolism can't burn it all, so our body stores the extra calories as fat. Too little, and our…

Raspberries with yoghurt and sticks. Delicious snack. And 3 complete 450-500 calories meals. Chicken breast in bacon, basmati rice, gralic zuchinni. Curry basmati, grilled pork, lentils with veggies The tortilla has in 2 chicken breast fillet, 2 bacon slices and 2 spoons of delicious homemade guacamole.

Chubby. I don't think I ever liked a skinny or muscular guy. :laugh: Something must be wrong with me.

I can't say I hate them, but they sure make feel uncomfortable. In the first year since I started MFP and losing weight, weight loss was a `no-no` subject for me. People comments are always strange... they comment about counting calories, what I eat, how I eat, why I'm not losing 10-15 lbs per month, how X and Y losed…

At first I thought that after my weight loss, I will still have some breast material. So at first I went from DD to D cup and I was happy not having huge breasts. Then I went from D to C and I thought that a C cup is quite nice indeed. Now I am going so closely to a B cup... and... and.. and... I just lie to myself that a…

Another 2 of the `I can't believe these are 500 calories meals` Beef and oyster mushroom, server with a big portion of potato and brusel sprouts mashed (the picture does not flatter the size). Topped with red onion gravy and some bacon (I had a little more room until 500 calories so I went generous). The left-over beef and…

When I was at the begining, really unfit, all JMs workouts were a nightmare to me. I couldn't last even 10 minutes on them. I tried other workouts, less intensive at first, but still JM workouts seemed impossible to me. Then I started to do those 10 minutes at a time. I pushed myself to add 1 more minute next time.…

I actually get less often sick and when I do I get recovered a lot faster. To know, I have lost weight by changing to a more healthy lifestyle and this reflects a lot in my sickness. I also have a low weight loss goal (only 500 calories a day, for 1 lbs per week) and I feel my 1750 calories with nutricious foods. The ideea…

This is one of the reassons I stick with a low weight loss per week. Only aiming to eat 400-500 calories less a day than maintenance, I can be `normal`. I can go out at lunch with my co-workers and keep it `in the game` professionally (I never actually believed before I got a job that sometimes lunches are so important for…

Weight it. Log it. As you say, a slice depends on so many things: cut, type, length, witdh, and so on. Better get the weight calories. It's more accurate.

If you have some medical problems that made the doctor tell you so, you should listen to your dietician. There are conditions in which an individuals has digestion problems when eating fruits and so on. But if you are a healthy person, there are no reasson not to eat fruits. It depends when you eat them. For example I am…

I have a scale and I think that it was essential for my weightloss. Serving sizes, measuring cups... they are not nearly as accurate as a scale. It's the best investment I could have made. It's very important when measuring high calorie foods. I have a no-name scale bought from an appliance store. I just verify it from…
