I have the Fitbit Alta and love it. The screen is informative without being overly large. I also like that it connects with myfitnesspal to update calories burned for walking.

I have to admit I somewhat understand where this person it coming from. Now that I pay attention to what I eat, sometimes I find it difficult for the last 50-100 calories...not quiet 500 though. I've also had trouble upping my calories. I keep reading about TDEE, but I'm being successful on 1200, not tired, and I'm…

Liquid Calories (juice, coffee mixes)....so unsatisfying and not worth the ding in my calorie count. I was amazed how many calories a Frap from Starbucks can add up to.

Yeah. I have big thighs, even at my smallest they were still stocky....but, I do have quite a bit of weight to lose in that area, just wish it would come off there before any where else and yet my thighs are the last to go. Anyone know of any good pant brand to buy that accommodate us big thigh girls?! :)

You should check out the Fresh 20. Their recipe's are amazing and the food is so fresh and tasty!

The only way to actually prevent muscle soreness is to exercise right up to the "burn" but not after. Muscle soreness is caused by microfractures in the muscle cells themselves, which is like damage. You can still build muscle without damaging them, just by building up your stamina. Stretching, drinking lots of water, etc,…

I don't let myself cheat once a week, but I think the important thing to think about when you have a cheat day is not to beat yourself up over it. Accept it, and move on, don't let it get you down too much. My husband and I had a nice dinner out for V-day, and yes it took a week to bounce back, but to me it was worth it.…

Love them. One of my favorite things to snack on. And I order extra olives on my pizza. Would love to eat that deep dish!

So crazy, we're so similar!! 3 pregnancies, last one was a surrogacy for twins and I hit 230. After them I dropped down to 191. 5'3" Age: 28 Mom of 2 Starting weight 191 Current weight 174 Highest weight during pregnancy (twin surrogacy): 230 Highest weight non pregnancy: 191 Lowest weight 145 Goal weight: 160-145, I'll…

5'3" 174 size 10/12 depending on brand.

I work out in the mornings. It makes me feel better and more awake throughout the day. When I do work out at night I can't go to sleep so I think it's all about preferences and your body's reaction to the workout.

I mix mine with a little salsa, salt, and lime juice....mmm.....guacamole.

wow, amazing. Good job

Is that a red beard? Cause if it is, that... definitely that!

I have cheat days but I'm still able to stay under my calorie goal by eating really well the rest of the day. For example, a few days ago I had a piece of pizza but for lunch I ate something low calorie. Also, if you go over one day a week, it's not going to affect your whole week. I figure letting myself cheat every now…

Totally straight but you have amazing eyes, so flirt :)

I use Grape-seed oil and Olive oil when cooking veggies and sauteing because it tastes good and it's a "good" fat. However, I do use the 0 calories spray often, like when scrambling an egg or when baking for non-stick. I've never had any issues with it and as a non-stick use I think it's a great non-calorie alternative to…

You can buy a pretty inexpensive food scale at any health store or even some grocery stores. Great investment. They usually show grams and ounces.

mmmm, avacado. num.

I'm not. When I had a little bit more money I had a trainer/nutritionist. She said there is a major difference in types of fats and how they are digested. I eat eggs and I eat chicken thighs versus breasts because they taste better. I use butter versus margarine. As long as you keep track of the calories I don't see…

Exactly :)
