AWESOME!!! you look great

I have one and I really like it! I was always so confused about how many calories I could eat. It links good with MFP and has a phone app as well. I'm having some trouble linking it to my Iphone through Bluetooth for up to the minute data, but other than that, i would suggest it.

I'm not 100% positive, but I beleive the total calories burned on body media include at rest, the normal amount you burn just living. It also includes calories burned working out. I think that MFP takes into consideration the normal calories burned when figuring your calorie goal. I'm not sure that is 100% correct, but I…

Hang in there. I tried to give it up for Lent and did not last one day. After a binge on Saturday, I really am going to try to abstain. Again, hang in there. You are doing awesome. The fact that you posted instead of having a drink shows that you really dont' want to do it. Sorry for you loss as well. If you want to friend…

I have one and love it. I had some problems figuring out in the beginning. The sleep pattern will be from the night before. Make sure you click on today, or a specific date at the top of the activity manager. You can also click to the left of each item and it will drop down with more detailed information. Good luck!

I do beleive there is a blood test that can be done to test for Celiac. My son tested positive but the diagnosis was confirmed with internal viewing of his stomach and small intenstines. I am "gluten intolerant" as of a few years ago, but this usually turns into full fledge celiac. Our doctor suggested my younger children…

I made some mini spniach quiches yesterday for the week. Lots of veggies and protien - 246 calories. I only live a couple minutes from work so I warmed it up and ate it as soon as I got to work. Could "nuke" it too. It kept me full until lunch! Eggs, spinach, peppers, onion, low fat cottage cheese, 2% cheddar cheese. YUM

How often do you work out? And can you open your food diary.... I'd like to see all your tools for your awesome success!!

Thanks again for all the great feedback. I'm going to make sure to exercise right away tonight. Last night I had just a couple after dinner, but when my husband said he was running to the store for beer (it was his "Friday Night") I asked him not to, and he didn't. I slept so much better and feel much better today. Maybe I…

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and caring. I have some books I will be reading soon. I agree, I need to get into a new routine. Maybe it is just "habit" more than anything. Thanks again!!

Still too new to answer your question, but there are many who will help. But you may want to open your food journal so they can see what you have been eating as well. Good luck!!

A while back I was going to a trainer and she had me weigh once in the morning and once at night. We compared that to my food journal and it helped me see how certain foods affected me, such as sodium, not enough protein ect. It was only for a few weeks though, then I went to weighing only once a week. I would only record…

I have done it in the past, and getting back on track myself. My best advise is be "prepared". I grill a couple pounds of chicken breast at a time and keep in in the fridge for quick meals. I also cook turkey breast and fish ahead too. I cut up veggies and have them ready for a quick grab and premake some side salads. I…

I am 47 as well, but have a lot more to lose, approx. 115. I'm just getting started myself, so if you would like to add me as a friend that would be great. We need to get fit before 50 and our metabolism slows even more LOL. Good luck.

I typically have egg beaters, but just 1/3 cup. I sautee peppers, onions and mushrooms, which far outweigh the egg, so I probably could go without the egg all togeher. But as stated above, don't need to have "breakfast food" A couple days ago I had 4 oz of left over grilled samon for breakfast.

I will be 47 in December. Today is only my second day on my jouney to get healthy. I have about 115 pounds to lose. I'd love some weight loss buddies in about the same situation / age as I am. Good luck all!!!!

I'm in... today is just day one for me. How will I find the Challenge when it starts? Just look for the title in the message boards? Off to fill in my profile and get started. Wish me luck!!! I'm so ready to commit to this!
