I had my gallbladder out six weeks postpartum. Then I started having what felt like gall bladder attacks again, and was very queasy all the time. I started vomiting about 6-8 times a day, but the surgeon felt that it wasn't related to surgery - I probably had "an ulcer or was in denial about bulemia". Three weeks (and 12…

My husband snacks a lot on air-popped popcorn.

Yes, I have entered my stride into my Fitbit. And yes, I take longer steps than my husband, who is 6'3". I also walk quite a bit faster than him (I have long legs and a shorter torso). On MFP, if I enter "walking, 3.5 mph, brisk pace" for 30 minutes, it says I burned 134 calories. If I enter "pushing or pulling stroller…

So, how long do you think a plateau should last before I do something different than what I'm doing? I'm not sure I would stay encouraged for 8-9 months without losing anything. 80 pounds is great! Congrats!

I didn't say it wasn't accurate. I said it wasn't a usual day - that's why it looked "off" - because I had a huge spike in activity that day, and my calorie burn shows that. That day was actually over 25 miles (50,000 steps). It looks unusual because it is - I don't plan on making that a regular goal, it was just a one-day…

Oh - the other thing that occurred to me is that I have had gall bladder surgery (about six weeks postpartum with my last baby). I haven't had any problems once I healed, and really can eat whatever I like, although I do notice that it throws off my digestion if I have a sudden increase in the amount of fats/sweets I eat.…

I plugged in a few of my bike rides into three different calorie estimators online. Fitbit actually seems a little lower than all three of them. And I do log *everything*. It has broken me of the habit of sampling when I cook because I really don't want to figure out what one bite of this or that would be, in order to…

Well, if you looked at yesterday, that was a bit unusual (my husband and I were having a friendly competition to see who could meet some step goals first, and we walked a huge distance...more than 15 miles). But often, I do have a kiddo in the backpack when I'm walking, or I'm pushing a double stroller. And I do walk very…

I remember doing Richard Simmons videos with my husband when he was trying to lose weight about a decade ago...even now, when one of the songs comes on the radio, I find myself unconciously doing the moves!

At our house we've got a kiddo who would graze constantly too. I've had to be gentle but firm about eating when it's time to eat, and waiting till the next time. If I hear a whine of, "I'm hungry!", I say, "Good! That means you'll eat dinner well!" I've got a seven-year-old who has to be on oral steroids periodically,…

At a DD? You really shouldn't have that much of a problem... At a G or H is when I started running into problems. I mostly just wear t-shirts, so I can't offer any help!
