I've always weighed once per week but the thing that's made the biggest difference in my perception of my success is the day of the week I weigh. In the past, I've weighed in on Mondays and I've dreaded it because after working hard on weekdays I spent the weekends thinking "I can splurge a little, look at how good I've…

We've been trying for 4 years with no medical reason for our difficulties and are about to begin fertility treatments again after a successful IUI & miscarriage a year ago. If you want something easy to try read up on myo-inositol (brand names pregnitude & ovasitol). I've been taking it for about 2 months after a…

Whether we know how organs work or not at least you've given us all a better understanding of the effect of drugs on the human brain. I can't view your diary but I'm assuming you had crack on toast for breakfast....

My go-to right now is ground turkey breast. 1lb of ground turkey + 1 bag of frozen mixed veggies makes 2 meals for me and each gets me about 50% of the way to my protein goal for the day. By changing the veggies & flavorings I use I can make it Italian, Tex Mex, Cajun, BBQ, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Greek...pretty…

I got one a few weeks ago and I love the ease of use/wifi syncing. As far as accuracy, it seems to do total weight just fine but between it and the body analysis machine at my gym (have no idea what it's called) there is a 20lb difference in my lean mass and a 4% difference in my body fat %, although I have no idea which…

This recipe is my go-to base (and is one of the many reasons I have 2 dwarf meyer lemon trees) - http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Lacinato-Kale-and-Ricotta-Salata-Salad-236940 I've either omitted the cheese or switched it up to mozz or feta or fontina. I've also added things like roasted butternut squash cubes,…

I've fallen into a whole wheat toast w/ unsweetened almond butter rut myself. However, I came across this recipe last night and it's in my plans for the weekend. http://www.fitsugar.com/Cinnamon-Quinoa-Bake-21799042

Just reading the title of this thread makes me think of pain...pain in my chest, and pain in my face since I'd probably be slapping myself if I was running topless. But I have no problem with anyone going topless - chicks or dudes. Whatever makes you happy

Hasn't happened yet, but everyone notices my husband's weight loss. :-/ Kinda makes me wanna get all strangly

I do. Dislocated my right knee (torn patellar tendon, 1/2 inch bone chip from the end of my femur) in 2004. Other than that I've been ok (knock on wood)

sugar withdrawal suuuuuper sucks. This last time I told my husband to remind me how crappy I felt for those first couple of days if I start upping my sweets again

face...much easier and less major-operation-y to change your body.

Anyone can add me if they want....all my stuff is open to everyone. (Although I'm not so good at logging food on weekends just fyi - something I'm working on). As you can see from my profile pic, I have nothing to hide. lol

Sherlock The League The Fall The Bridge

My freshman year of college I was pledging a sorority and they told us all to get dressed up to go out for Halloween. I borrowed a friend's car to go costume shopping and came back with the only thing I could fit into. When I showed up I realized I hadn't gotten the memo that Halloween was now just an excuse to look as…

I'm not 40 but feel free to add me as well :-)

LOVE beets. Can't wait to try this recipe. Sidenote...as mentioned above beets stain everything...I once accidentally dripped beet juice on my beige dog...I was worried someone would call animal control if they saw us on a walk

I realized if my trend continued I'd reach 300 lbs for the first time in my life by the end of the year

Arrogant *kitten* Ale....can't get Stone brewery beers in the state I moved to 3 years ago. If I'd realized that ahead of time I seriously would have rethought the move...

Sounds a little humblebraggy to me lol

Hmm...I have a fitbit one and I think it's fairly accurate. MFP usually adds about 1000 calories from exercise each day from my fitbit (700 cals burned in 1 hr on the elliptical, the rest come from 3 dog walks - 3 walks with 2 dogs, not walks with three dogs lol)

Please add me too!!!!

Hi Everyone! I recently re-started my weight loss - I lost 50 lbs with Fitbit+MFP a year and a half ago then had hip surgery and gained it all back. I'm trying to lose 150 lbs so I'll be here for a while and I'd love to make some friends along the way. Have a good day! ~Jessica

Please add me too, everyone! I'm in it for the long haul.....

I'm trying to lose 150 lbs and looking for friends who are in a similar boat (hopefully we all have our life preservers on). Accepting any and all friend requests!

I had 18 years of IT band pain and I can tell you that (for me) squats were THE WORST thing I could do. I tried to add squats to my workout and I wouldn't be able to exercise at all for the next couple of days, and I wasn't even squatting with any added weight. I might not be the best example because I ended up having IT…

Definitely! Make sure to ask for the business cards of anyone you meet with. That way you can thank them for their time afterward and re-state why you'd be a good addition to their team. Be specific!
