I have not cut out alcohol all together but I do only drink it every once in a while. I think I have had a 6 pack of blue moon in the fridge for a little over a month now lol

I just started this today. I only made it for 23 mins after stopping twice for water. Is this pretty average for the first day?

Everyones body is a little different. I couldn't really lose anything at 1200 calories. I was just miserable and putting on pounds here and there. I was only trying to lose a about 20 lbs and im sure if that had anything to do with it or not. I bumped it up to about 1450 and have been losing a half pound or more a week…

Im 23, 24 the end of april . From Winston Salem NC :)

My husband and I have both experienced this as well. I think working out gives you more energy and makes you feel better about yourself.

5'6" 23 yrs old SW= 140 CW= 133 GW= 120

I just got married last may but feel that one thing is true marriage definitely has its ups and down. My husband is in graduate school so getting to spend time together and really connect is hard sometimes. I am not a person who likes to be home alone a lot. I like to have him home for dinner every night but had to realize…

I do cheat days on Friday and don't exercise as much. I do log everything so I still portion everything but I might have pizza that day that I wouldn't have other days and I don't go over just get closer to my allotted calories as I usually finish under my goal.

Usually just water but sometimes ill get a diet soda or add Mio to my water

I wear mine all the time when I work out. It is insured though if anything happens to it.

I try to log everything the morning of that day. It lets me know where I stand on calories for the day :)

My tdee is determined to be 2235 by fitness frog.com if I take 20% off that I'm at 1788 calories a day. This sure does seem like alot to be eating and losing weight. Maybe ill try it for a week and see if I can get rid of a few more pounds. Opinions?

I have a cup of yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast and then a protein shake as I drive to work. That keeps me pretty full for a few hours. I than have some fruit between breakfast and lunch.

You probably need to eat a bit more to get your metabolism moving. I found I starting losing and feeling better 1400 calories a day. Try it for a week and see how it works :)

Feel free to add me :)

I would go by the machine its better to underestimate than over estimate calories burnt. I think MFP always overestimates my calories burnt.

I love that even though I just lost two pounds I feel better and I look at myself in a different way. No longer hate passing the bathroom mirror :)

If your not eating at least some back you may end up below the min 1200 limit which can put your body into starvation mode and keep you from losing weight. I eat mine most times since my MFP is already set to account for my calorie deficit.

I carry mine in my hoodie or scrubs pocket. I can't tell how accurate it is because I work at a job where I walk a lot of the day and it said I walked 7000 steps today and I feel that could be right but who knows. Lol

How do you determine how many calories you burned? I have a job where I'm walking almost all day and would like to be able to count that in my exercise

So you think if I type in the minutes i walked into MFP and let it calculate it that it would be more accurate?

Thanks guys I really needed some motivation to get back on track :)

I felt that way when I started cutting calories. Might be part of your body adjusting to a different and lower calorie diet. If it continues I would see a doctor and get it checked out just to be safe.

I have problems with my knees as well and for a schwin stationary bike and I love it. Easy on knees but a good workout

Can you make this in a blender cup? If so I'm making it with my chocolate protein powder and vanilla pudding :)

I work as a lab technician at a clinical research facility

Thanks guys such great options. I had a really hard day at work today but somehow I am managing to work out even though it took some pep talks. I think I'm going to try taking a bath afterwards and see if that helps.

I mix mine with almond milk making a great 160 calorie breakfast. I also have a piece of oatmeal bread with apple butter

I had no idea how much I was eating till I started logging it on mfp.

Where did you buy your pedometer from?
