  • STEPS GOAL * 10/1 - 521 (My goal this day was still 500 steps a day. I realized it was set too low and upped it to 575) * 10/2 - 661 * 10/3 - 715 * 10/4 - 775 * 10/5 - 428 * 10/6 - 558 * 10/7 - 785 * 10/8 -
  • Try disconnecting Fitbit from the apps area on MFP. Then connect to Garmin. That should take care of the problem for you.
  • I'm in, but unable to do the huge number of steps or most of the activities like that of others...I'm mobility impaired, so that's not realistic for me. My goal this week is 575 steps/day. Next week, I'll up it to 600 and each week, up it by 25 steps. I have a Garmin Vivosmart HR to record, so I'll give you what my steps…
  • Yes, I do. I've eaten it, so I log it. Every calorie to the best of my ability.
  • I have one Pig-Out Night a month when I am in Canada with my husband. We meet friends at a local pub and buy the Big Belch and nibble on all the fried foods on it. He eats the Chicken Wings, I eat the Fried Pickles and Bacon Garlic Cheese bread. Also, half the fries/onion rings. I know I'll be way over my limit, but I plan…
  • For me, the difference between adding flavoring to water and drinking diet coke, is that diet coke has aspartame in it. It also has caffeine. Also artificial coloring. Flavored water will have the fructose (Natural fruit sugar), natural coloring from the fruits, with no additional sugars, flavors, or coloring's. It won't…
  • When my Water Bottle with Fruit Infuser gets here, I will begin weaning myself off of my more than 40 year addiction to Diet Coke It does cause problems for the teeth, the acid. My dentist has been telling me so, and my Mom, who was a Dental Assistant for nearly 20 years... For me, I know it causes bloating and has…
  • I've lost an average 2 year old and a rack of baby back ribs. My ultimate goal...losing Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • Sparkspeople.com has a lot of seated exercises to do. Including chair marching iirc. There are even resistance band exercises to do while seated.
  • Just came back after long absence, thank you for this. It will help me to get stsrtedvwith a fitness routine.
  • None of the above. I'm not into watermelon. Though, I would like to try this recipe for watermelon lemonade that sounds delicious.
  • I used to run rather than eat. Seriously. Today, I sit in a wheelchair, barely able to walk. It is directly attributable to my running. Of course, I did something that was not too bright for the three years I ran. I ran barefoot. On concrete. Asphalt. Anywhere. Trust me when I say...BAD DAMN MOVE! I'd love to just be able…
  • Oz recommends anything that gives him a kickback in the $$ department. That's all I need to know. Is African Mango good for you? I have no idea, but if OZ says it is, I'm guessing it's good for his pocket book, not yours. Too bad. There was a time, when he first was starting out that I trusted him. Now. I don't.
  • raw fruits/veggies.
  • On my body. Tried putting it in a purse, but it was just too darn heavy. Oh well.
  • Just came to post the very same site. GMTA.
  • This. Those of us with so much to lose, can and do lose some weight without exercise. At first, maybe the first 20-30 pounds, it might be okay, to get down to a weight where you can walk without stopping every 30 seconds to catch your breath for 5 minutes. When you can walk at least a minute or two without stopping, I say…
  • When I told my Dr. I was working on losing weight, he sat down and asked several questions. 1. How many calories are you eating a day? (about 1600, give or take) 2. What exercises are you doing, since you have severe back/hip/knee problems? (Chair exercises, resistance bands, small hand weights and some body weight…
  • My Dr. has prescribed Qsymia for me as he feels the benefits far outweigh the risks at this point. I have several medical issues that make losing at least 3-5% of my weight within the next 3-6 months necessary for my health and my life. I'm not one who wants to be on a "diet pill" but it beats being six feet under. I'll…
  • Exactly. For me, no outdoor exercise except in water. Indoors, I stay in air conditioning. The heat stroke is horrible. Good thing you were with girl scouts who knew what they were doing. Feel bad the leader didn't. We have to be very careful of heat stroke/exhaustion and stay aware of our surroundings.
  • Yes, and very quickly, but I don't realize it unless I keep track of what time it is, how sunny it is, how warm the temp is and how long I've been out and about.
  • I have the exact opposite problem. I don't sweat at all. Not even in the hottest, humid weather. Means I have to really work to stay hydrated as I don't notice it like I would if I sweated.
  • Go to the store with $100 for food, for the MONTH. Come back here and tell me what things you were able to afford that would stretch for the entire month. Then think about how a large person can afford to stay large. It's because the cheapest things to purchase are pastas, sodas, snacks. Buying meat is a luxury for many of…
  • My husband made a comment about the OP that makes me wonder. He asked if it is unusual to see anorexia in a man. I have to wonder if the OP is in fact displaying anorexia signs. Not wanting to eat more than 1200 calories for a man, unless he is only about 4 ft tall and about 100 pounds is extremely unusual in my…
  • I have been following it for the last month. Lost 23 pounds for the whole month of January. (I started at 338) After each loss, I adjust it so I am not eating too much or too little. My problem is, I struggle to reach UP to my TDEE-20. (1600 before exercise, etc.) I average between 1350-1500. My doctors say that FOR NOW,…
  • I log on my cheat days because I need to know how I'm doing. I have noticed that I struggle to eat over 1200 calories (My goal is 1850 each day)...so for me, the cheat days aren't really cheating. I was desperately craving chicken wings and garlic cheese bread last week, so I had some, plus soda. I don't feel bad at all…
