I drive a manual shift up and down a mountain so I get a lot of non-step steps and floors climbed. There's an app, DriveBit that you start and stop when you're driving (or a passenger). It automatically converts the steps to a driving activity.

Down here they only serve shots (1 oz) not jiggers (1.5 oz) so my drinks re only 64 calories! They also charge in the $7 a shot range, so a bloody mary in a pint glass is $15 (and you KNOW they still only put one shot in ;) )

This group has a lot of information http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

Probably not a popular opinion, but you need to take care of you. Would you accept this behaviour/attitude from a child? No. So why even entertain accepting it from a fully functioning adult. Don't even tell him to cook his own meals. If you know he's going to argue about it (and it's an otherwise perfectly acceptable…

If you're using a fat measuring scale, you're supposed to weigh at around 6 PM after a full day, so you are fully hydrated. In the morning your weight will be lower, but your fat% will be sky high.

It says you can integrate yout fitness tracker, but I couldn't find where to link them?

Just googled the brand. If you look at that the bottom of the website it shows the coverage for the Ole brand. Australia isn't included.

I haven't heard of those, but I use these. Available at Woolies and Coles http://goodnesssuperfoods.com.au/wholegrain-barley-wraps/

When I saw how little I was "allowed" to fit into my CICO model, I just stopped eating it. Wasn't worth the bother.

Except when it says you can have XX more calories, so you eat them, but then you stop moving, or go to bed at 10:00 and you wake up having gone OVER your calories for the day.

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group If you ask in there, you'll find like minded people who will be able to look at your diary and maybe see some stumbling blocks or offer ideas.

Short of unlinking the two, even with turning off neg calories, I couldn't figure it out so I got the premium and just set my calories and macros as fixed.

I just switched to 100g Greek yogurt 30 g chopped pecans and anywhere between 70-100 g of cantelope. It's refreshing and surpisingly filling. I don't need to snack mid-morning

I rice frozen cauliflower and then mix it with a package of the konjac "rice". It really covers the cauliflower taste and brings the texture closer to real rice. My husband didn't even realize that he had picked up my bowl once the curry was on it.

Look for studios outside of the gym. Classes shouldn't have more than 10 people in them so that the instructor can really pay attn to each persons position.

I'm with @Tiptoetherat. I only do it because I can do pilates while laying down in A/C and because the dogs like to be walked. If the dogs weren't around the walk wouldn't be either. I have NEVER found/experienced those so called "exercise endorphins". I much prefer to "do something" instead of exercise, like competitive…

That's the primary reason I use MFP, to make sure I'm eating enough. I keep low(er) carb and after a few weeks I can easily be satisified on less than 1000 calories a day. So, I track and make myself eat at least to 25% below my TDEE.

Exercise has had those effects on me my entire life because of asthma. Does this mean i may never notice menopause?

This. I am way too cheap to pay for a gym membership and then a PT on top of that to teach me the proper form.

The heat down here causes weight gain (mostly water). For example, the heat broke and I lost 7 lbs in a week. I want to get back down to my "pre-summer" weight in time for my holiday in June. I have 7 more lbs to go.

I have it turned off. It was "moving" too much for me during the day. As in,"I can eat 400 more calories" then an hour later because I the doctor took longer or some such "Ooh, I'm 600 calories over". Too many times I ate what I was told only to wake up and find I was over calories for the day.

^^ this. I log food here, all activities on FitBit. I completely ignore FitBit's calories advice, as they go well below 1000 on some days.

Pilates? Low impact but very toning.

probsably as accurate as you're going to get since the amount of fat in each steak will vary. If you are only eating the lean meat, there is a seperate entry for that.

Or you can use the link I listed for Australian Rib-eye steak - raw and change the amount already in grams and NO, a Scotch/Rib-eye is not even close to being the same cut of meat

Scotch and Ribeyes are the same, so weigh each steak and use that weight and this link https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/7397?manu=&fgcd=

Your body views the alcohol as a "poison" and burns that off first. It won't even touch fat or excess calories until the algohol is gone. So yes it may be withing your calorie range, but it isn't helping at all.

I've always used these numbers based on activity levels (per lb of LBM) Sedentary - .5g Average - .6 (light activity, walking) Light activity - .7 (moderate 30 min vigarous activity 3x a week) Workout - .8 active (60 min a day 5x a week) Training - .9 very active (10 hrs per week of vigarous activity) Professional - 1.0

There's a FitBit group with a great FAQs section and a whole bunch of pros and cons. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

Have you tried Zyban? They say it's a fancy name for Wellbutrin but it did work for me the first time I quit.
