No specific cheat day. I just eat and I know if i eat fast food or unhealthy food today then I need to be healthier tomorrow or if I have a pizza for breakfast then i'll have salad for lunch and dinner. I enjoy some form of candy/pastry daily because that makes me happy but I ensure i'm not consuming too sugar in my other…

Ignore the red. You know you're eating less salt. You can't strictly log things like that

So we know we burn more calories when awake than asleep , do we not believe staying up for a few hours after eating that makes a difference in calories burnt daily?

What i did was added the predicted weight for 7 straight days of logging and found the average. I tried to be consistent for the next 5 weeks. But i never came close to that original average even I made sure to eat similar to that first week , i even added exercise which was not apart of that first week. Where i over ate…

Even if i do an average the predicted weight for the week i won't meet that even close. And this is with some level of consistency since I dont really eat any extra or any different daily.

[/quote] What comes up for me varies, but the first time I did it I got Chicken, broiler or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, raw, which for 1 piece is 326 calorie, but notice that is piece not a weight. If I select 100 grams as the portion, it comes out at 120 calories which is basically the same as other…

I agree. If i have to be adding my own foods and I have to be buying pricey tools for accuracy i could keep track of all this myself

We should tell them to do average of weeks to predict weight instead

(i). <5000 steps/day may be used as a 'sedentary lifestyle index'; (ii). 5000-7499 steps/day is typical of daily activity excluding sports/exercise and might be considered 'low active'; (iii). 7500-9999 likely includes some volitional activities (and/or elevated occupational activity demands) and might be considered…

I don't weigh things but I look on the serving size of packages to calculate my calories and I do weigh liquids if I'm home since I have measuring cups. I also try to add 10% to everything. For example, if I think i'm eating 3 ounces of chicken then I log it as 3.3 ounces. Instead of weighing using a scale you can find…

In home jogging/fast walks, check out youtube for walking exercises . Zumba. Plyometrics and HIIT exercise (HIIT isn't for everyone but you can burn up to 100 calories in 10 minutes0

I tried to make note of it then 5 weeks i tried to be fairly constant, not eating more than 200 calories more or less than my starting day. In the end i only lost 2lbs by the 5th week instead of the 8 it predicted

There's some videos on YouTube, once you type in yoga for for beginners, the person's name starts starts with A. Sorry i can't be more helpful

There was a huge argument in the comments, especially over dairy stating that it isn't to be ingested after the age of 3 and it is found to fuel cancerous cells . I just wanted to know how many people believed it was unhealthy to consume dairy. Another was saying regular table salt is very unhealthy and seaweed salt,…

He took my chocolate

I was you. I was eating the 1200 calories recommended by MFP to lose weight and i was exercising daily; I thought i'd burn between 1000 and 1500 calories per week. Yet i was never seeing weight loss. I later used another app and found out I was still eating too much for weight loss, I should have been eating around 1000…

I actually know someone who says it helped them lose weight,about a pound a week without a change in diet according to her. I've read up on it a few months ago and the document said it supresses the diet and also assists in the breakdown on fat. It says start by drinking a cup of water with 1tbsp of acv then gradually…

You can do this!

If you can't get a hrm immediately a good pedometer might temporarily work or even your phone to give you an idea. There's an app called runtastic that really helped me to have a good idea of my calorie burn when i walked, jogged or used a treadmill. I just had to figure out to determine the sensitivity it should respond…

You can check the mph by how long it took, did you run for about 22-28 minutes? Also walking at a high speed and running should be calculated differently. I think if i run 4.5mph for 25 minutes it's about 182 calories for me (5 ft 4 and 158 lbs) but when i put walking at 4 mph i get 138

I feel you, i recently stopped logging for about a month. I was just tired of logging but i kept a mental note so i wouldn't go way over board. I just started back today but i'm not pressuring myself, i'll do quick calories if i'm too lazy to find the food

Hey I'm Jodi. I've lost about 4 lbs and i want to lose between 8 and 18 more (depending on how my body looks0. I'm 19, 5 ft 4, no kids but i'm still here to motivate!

A nice sweater , jogging sneakers and a sewing machine

I'm Jodi. I think i want to lose 18 lbs, i'm currently 158 and i'd like to weigh 140lbs. Most recently I'm thinking to change my goal to 150lbs since i've grown to love my body how it is. I dont log my food much anymore (too busy recently) but i come here for the support and motivation

Thanks everyone, I'm actually having mood swings/being frustrated all the time but the headaches stopped when i started taking it an hour before bed. Somehow i'm losing a pound every two weeks but not sure what changed

Thank you so far

She's actually a cat in disguse

I needed to see this! I love everyone that posted and it's so motivational!

I had this issue too! I can do about 200 squats, although I've done research to ensure I have proper form. Try sumo squats, jump squats or bulgarian split squats (these really get me). If none of these are for you, google other exercises which focus on that area. Or add some weights or pick up speed. Also I heard it helps…

Just want to say great job and I'll be sending some positive energy your way!
