Amazing!! I had to look twice because I didn't believe it!!

I know it's in my genetics my addiction to sugar. My mom, sister, and I all hold weight in the same places and all are addicted to sugar horribly. I hide sugary/naughty things behind all the good stuff in my pantry. I never realized how much sugar is in EVERYTHING until I started tracking on MFP. Now I watch it ever more…

1) 5'11" 229lbs, I net around 1560 a day (yes I eat exercise calories) 2) I drink lots of water and I eat often, just smaller amounts. It didnt take long for me to realize it wasn't my stomach hungry, it was my brain. I'd try this: Take the 32 oz Tub of yogurt. Scoop out a serving size amount. Eat it. Go do something that…

I have lost a few furbabies as I would like to call them. I lost our black kitty Joe-Joe Bear over a year ago to kidney failure (he was 5!!!). He went from healthy vet checkup to within a month we had to let him go. I stayed with him til the end, and I let him know that he was very loved. I too lost a pet like you did.…

You would be surprised how not tired you are after even a small workout. Thats what gets me to go!! I do 5, I usually take off one day during the week (I work 8-5, not much time to do anything) and one weekend day. Unless it's really nice weather then I'll usually hit up a hike on an off day.

Totally agree! 90% of my food come from the perimeter of the supermarket. In the summer/harvest months I can buy direct from the farmers. Although most fruits/veggies I would not consider "clean" since I know the garbage they spray on the fields. I just try to eat whole foods instead of crazy processed ingredients. I do…

You may want to try 5 meals a day instead of 3 as well. I normally eat at least 5 sometimes 6 mini meals a day. I've done the low carb thing and that definately gave me all the symptoms you have. I was a raging beast for at least a week!!! I couldn't keep up with it though.

I love cheese, I've moderated mine by putting in in a salad ( you would be surprised how far a tablespoon of blue cheese or gorgonzola can go in 4 cups of spinach) or making the awesome Quinoa mac and Cheese recipe I found on here. Since I am a cheese addict, I make sure if I have some, I put at minmum 4 times the amount…

I had this too as a result of an ankle injury and wearing the moon boot or an ankle brace for over a year. Nothing helped and it was so painful. Finally I gave in, got a cortisone shot and rested. When I though I was done resting, I rested some more. Then it finally healed and I have been fine for a couple years. Good…

Note 2 is great if you like not putting it in your pocket EVER! I tried with one today and unless you have super large pockets, it's not fitting in all the way. It was just way too big for a phone. I have an iphone5 and I love it, although it's not that great of an upgrade over the 4s.

1) Set up college Funds for family members and those who have treated me well before 2) Ask my parents what they always wanted to do in life and make it happen 3) Give $ to save puppies and kitties 4) Pay off all my bills 5) Ridiculous insane party trip, maybe rent a cruise ship and go around the world\ 6) Spend at a…

I think Andrea is going to figure out the governor and have her "oh s@#t Michonne was right" moment. I don't hate andrea as much as you guys do. I think she has potential, just has lost her bad-*kitten* ness for some romance. Even in the zombie apocalypse a girl has her needs too!! I dont think Merle is going to die as…

I hit lifetime with WW back in 2006. I ended up moving around and the weight came back on. I did the new WW and I couldn't lose more then .25 lbs a week for over 3 months. Then I quit. I was going to go back, but then I found MFP. And MFP is free. I get all the support I used to at WW (except this is pretty much 24/7) from…

For me it's all about a comfy nook. If I can't rest comfortably, then it's a no go. And I'd like to be tall, although I've actually never dated anyone taller then me EVER (same height mostly) !! I'm 5'11"!!

I gained 2 lbs once TOM hit last week. Yesterday I lost 2.3, Today I lost another 2.6. Im clearly not losing the weight, it's the TOM weight coming off and the 2 lbs I should have lost last week since I curbed my salt cravings. I hate TOM. TOM needs to be much nicer to us ladies!!!!

5'11" Large frame - First goal is 175 to hit healthy range, Long term is 150 lbs with muscle

I started at 244 in Sept. I lost 10 lbs quick, now i've been stuck at like 233 for what seems like forever. The scale goes down and goes back up!!. I'm about ready to go to my doctor because it's so frustrating!!! My first goal is 175 to be healthy range (I'm 5'11" and a large frame), then I'd really like to be around 150…

All I'm worried about now are the Zombies. No Twinkies = Zombie Apocalypse

I just started week 1 day 2. I have really tight calves and Im feeling it today. Then again I probably shouldnt have done 2 days back to back without a rest day in between. Feel free to friend me if you want some support!!

My old one would tell me I was dead then jump back on. I replaced the battery and that didn't help. Turns out my strap went bad. May want to replace the battery and look into a new strap.

I actually have to disagree with that one. I've been with and without insurance for long stretches in my life. But the majority I was underinsured. Here is an example: I walk into the ER with insurance. Have various tests and a CAT scan. I pay my $150 deductible. Then come all the insurance rejections because the hospital…

The Bluetooth works flawlessly with every other program out there - MapMyRun, Digifit, etc. Endo is the only one that really stinks. My iphone 5 is not damaged in anyway. I installed the program on my old iphone 4 and had the same issue. That leads me to believe that the app is not functioning properly and is conflicting.…

Thats why I haven't gone to a high school reunion!! I was 115 in HS (very skinny) now I'm 100+ more lbs. I really didn't want people to see me so big so I haven't gone to one. I hide photos on FB as well so people can't tell. I was always treated like garbage by people growing up. It was so bad, my parents had to put me in…

Have you been stressed alot lately?? I've noticed that I could eat 30% under my TDEE and if I was stressed I would not lose a pound but gain!!! It drove me insane!! Actually the not losing weight can stress you out and cause you to not lose!

If you have a newer phone that supports bluetooth 4.0, it's much cheaper to just get the polar H7 and sync it that way using an app. My belt went bad and it was $20 on amazon for a new belt or $60 and I get the new belt and the wearlink that connects to my phone.

Is your fitbit set to sedentary?? because if you are at 11k steps halfway through your day thats pretty active.

It gives you negative when you are "lazy". I had a whole lot of negatives from being stuck inside last week. Normally if you move more throughout the day it will go positive. Mine hits positive at about 3k steps. If you think about it, that negative is a great motivator to not sit on the couch all day and watch tv,

I've had more stress then I care to remember since May. It seemed like every single facet of my life (work, personal, family) was in major crisis. The absolute best thing I did was to re-join the gym. Even just walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes watching something like TMZ is a huge stress relief. When I am at the gym…

I've already cancelled my thanksgiving dinner (going to meet family at the parade instead! Yeah walking all day!!!). Feel free to add me!!

Spinach - I'd die without it Hummus - Huge Fan Olive Oil (nice high quality) - Yummy to add into said hummus above Garlic - I've been told I smell like garlic sometimes from eating too much Strawberries - I can eat 2 lbs in a sitting if I don't limit myself
