You look fantastic! Great job :-)

Once you hit your goal weight and go into "maintenance" your calories will go up. You need a deficit now in order to lose, but once you hit your ideal weight you will jump up quite a bit in calories. I know that I get over 1700 cals a day when I'm not trying to lose.

I took a break Wed but did 4 miles Thurs. I plan to do something today, not sure how much though :-) So far: 8/29- 4 miles 8/30- 2.7 miles 9/1- 4 miles

So far this week I have: 8/29 4 miles 8/30 2.7 miles

I'll join you :-) I did 4 miles this morning and my goal is to do 4 miles 4 times per week. Great idea!

You've lost 10 lbs already since you've started, that's awesome! Don't sweat the little 1 lb ups and downs, they happen, overall you are doing great!

My weight is always fluxing between 2-3 pounds. When people ask what my goal weight is I give a range (135-138) since I know I will never stay at just one number. Don't be discouraged, give yourself a "range" goal and work to get to that. My starting weight here was 150-153 and I'm at 136-138 now. Try not to worry so much…

I tried mine swimming and got the 0 heart rate when submerged. I looked up what could be the problem and found out that chemicals in the water could effect how it works. The website basically said that water use could be sporadic at best. I am going to try again in my own pool when it warms up (it is salt water, so minimal…

On the FT4 I think it is recommended that the manufacturer (or an authorized jeweler) change the battery because it is water resistant to 30m. The owner can change it easy enough, but there is a seal that needs to be in there correctly for it to remain water resistant.

I really like these books, they are a great tool to help you start making better decisions and to really see what you are getting. You can also get e-mail newsletters from Eat This Not That for free.

You had me laughing out loud, great post!

bump :-)

I have a different brand then you, but once I input my height, weight, age into it, it calculated my target zone for me.

Usually it would say water resistant to 25m, which means you could go to that depth in water and it should be fine. Since you probably won't be swimming that deep you should be okay.

I found MFP's sugar goal low as well. I changed my daily goal to be about 6% of my calorie intake. Just a couple pieces of fruit will knock you over the goal they have you at.

The thing about peanut butter that is good for you is the fat, it's the good kind...any without calories, fat or sugar is going to contain things that aren't good for you. Try Jif natural peanut butter.
