I am regular and always look for new friends! Add me :)

I have about 5 breakfasts max, perhaps 10 lunches and 20 dinners that tend to cook a lot. They are mostly saved on mfp (the recipes) and easy to add again. It takes me 2 to 5 minutes to do my food logging daily. Less than brushing my teeth twice a day. It keeps me at weight am I am happy and well worth the effort Obesity…

Yes I do. It works well for me. I train & track 3 weeks, followed by easy week and an extra snack in the evening. Not much thought, about 200 calories for the 5 days ahead of period.

whatever works for your. If it's not working - change it. I do it daily on and off, and when done daily I tend to lose little. Now in maintenance, not as important but still do it once weekly

well done - that smile!!! you look great

I go through periods where I find it easy and when I don't. When I don't, I am good and doing my minimums to keep[ me in check. When I do, I try to get most out of it - workout, cook, walk. My maintenance range is pretty big, 5lbs +- meaning that when I am finding it easy I shoot for be near the lower end, and if I find…

Similar story. I cam back doing it regularly 2015 and decided to make another short attempt not to do it last summer and it backfired, so don't plan any attempts to stop now. It takes me 5 minutes a day to be honest, it's like teeth brushing for me. I am used to it, most recipes are already there, it keeps me honest and…

I am like that too, 45% carbs feels on the low for me.

Love all awesome answers

Yes, I do.

I see why would they make the change. If you like counting - calorie counting is the easiest, most flexible with apps as MFP accessible for free. Other methods are left trying to cater for people that want to do as little counting as possible.

If i have communicated with someone i don't remove them even if they are inactive If there was no communication at all, ever and they just added me but never post, email, or reply - after few months. if they post mean spirited comments targeting others - they don't need to be inactive, immediate remove

but is it sugar buz, or awesome energy?

I figured maintenance for me is 10 pounds range, and most of the time I am in the middle. I have resigned to the fact that I need to keep an eye on it and as you, travelling is where things get hard. What I am going to say is that it's worth it and most people had number of attempts to achieve their goals (weight related…

Awesome

I agree with sijomial, track, monitor and adjust based on results. It was accurate for me but I use fitbit and it's syncing. Meaning MFP alone would have underestimate my daily burn

5'7 not sure if I qualify for tall but my range is 130 to 140. Trying to narrow it down little and avoid winter gain this year so hope to be 130 to 135

the moment I wasn't willing to eat any less long term or exercise anymore and I stopped loosing weight. I lost weight as I wan to maintain it and when I felt I am at my limit about how much more I am willing to change long term

I am going to answer myself I am still trying to find the balance right. If you tell me I cant' have pizza ever I will straight up say no way, but not so sure about dessert type treats. I don't really love them enough and usually I end up feeling hungrier for the rest of the day when I have them but in small quantities…

Yes, I packed my bags for Florida! Haha, sorry no I meant weight gain. I gained little last winter, I feel I am ready to approach winter slightly different this year. Until I have the funds and no home commitment so I can flee to Florida

Flip, 1300 calories in one drink! I am looking forward for time when we have more calories published here too. I just think you can get a lot more very enjoyable options for 1300. It's like saving hard to have some cash for emergencies, not wanting to blow all your savings on super fancy car you don't really need. There is…

I struggled with winter vs summer last year. I feel better prepared and hope to avoid it this year.

if you keep doing the same thing, you will get same difference. Start with 2 or 3 workouts a week and plan some rest. If you feel you can add more in few months, do it. else try working every day, and keep restarting. It suits some, but most people need rest and if you are restarting for the last few years, you may need…

send request to all, always looking for new friends!

I am in

Charge 2 is very spot on for me! I used Charge HR during weight loss and Charge 2 for maintenance. It's like a watch with extra info - on days I end up sitting a lot taking and extra walk, on days I move a lot little extra food. It's not accurate for things as spin class for example, but I learned just to let it it be as…
