I love my scale! I take insulin according to carbs, and carbs are counted based on portion, and the portion-you got it! needs to be weighed or measured at very least in order to be accurate! the cheese on my sammies gets weighed every morning, 15g exactly- any overages goes to the pug!

[/quote] im on the default i guess setting, 30% protein, 30% fat 40% carb. I know most days im usually eating at 50% or more from carb- so I am gonna ride with this trying to meet 130g of protein for a few weeks and then try in crease from there. Small changes over time work well for me! it doesnt feel so unobtainable!…

I pre log my days and usually igonre my protein count and just focus on calories. I started strong lifts 5x5 last week and decided to make a change with the protein on my next grocery shop to support getting more protein in! I tend to eat the same things for breakfast and lunch thru the work week so I shop accordingly to…

Life is short and I live for my desserts! I plan my day accordingly and leave dessert out- it must be earned and man alive do I work to earn it! I dont want diet desserts, I want the real thing- most nights we have a pie or cake or some kind of fruit cobbler :) if it doesnt fit my calorie budget I swap it out for something…

I have the fitbit force, but what works for me is to see what activity level I am the most- for me, my work week 5 days is lightly to moderately active so I use that as my setting on MFP. On weekends it can be sedentary or highly active, depends on my race schedule and time with family. So on any given day I wake to the…

I have never tried the body media I had the fitbit one- I lost it, and then got the force- its been voluntarily recalled, but I have no issues with mine so I am keeping it- the recall was because some people have a skin sensitivity to it- not me, and my skin is super sensitive! I am a step and cardio junkie, I love the…

So can you recommend something? I cannot eat at a calorie surplus as my BMI is in the obese category, I would like to lose an additional 40-60 lbs ontop of the 22 I have lost. I run, do step aerobics, yoga and walking- I would like to get into a strength routine that carries me thru weightloss and into strength building

it doesnt hurt to gain some common sense smarts regarding what to eat or drink at your fave places- by this I mean looking them up and looking for healthier options and writing it down some where or put it in your smartphone. That way life can be spontaneous and you will have a go to resource. ONce you get the hang of some…

oh the sadness of the food you leave enough cals to eat and then finish just to go wtf? thats IT? Many a dessert in my home has been subject to this very statement. I think my main issues is just restricting that portion, I want the freedom to binge on it, and nothing short of the "ive had enough " and push it away on MY…

My husband used to work in 4 week rotations, so every 4 weeks my run time would have to change in order to solve the childcare dilemma! I have run as early at 4am and as late as 8pm and sometime all I can get in is a 5k walk on my lunch, but I make an attempt to move almost every day. I hate waking up, that moment when you…

I do this! Its smart!! Do you have an Iphone or the MFP app? if you do, you can set a 7 day average and I find this most helpful when looking at the bigger picture. As of today, MFP says i am currently 21 NET cals under my weekly goal-What does that mean exactly? Well it means that If I ate my total daily allotment each…
