Going to try for 200 in July

Totally agree - WALK that is all you need to do - get a pedometer I have a fitbit absolutly the best money I have ever spent. Then start walking - You don't even start off fast or for long just add a few more steps everyday - and Good for you!!!! You can do this! Once you get stronger and start seeing results you will want…

Just realised that for the last few days I have been hungry allllllllll day long. So I went back and looked and see that I have not had my usual hard boiled egg first thing in the morning. I have eaten one almost everyday since I started this "lifestyle" change and have done well. Have wanted to knaw my arm off for the…

Never remove your fitbit lol! I wear mine 24/7 - you dont have to be right on the money on the times fitbit can tell if you are a few minutes off. keep it on and then record on MFP in exercise say 15 min of crunches or ab work or something like that and it will all adjust your calories

I have a fitbit zip and could not be happier. It syncs well with MFP so if I do something on treadmill or eliptical then I log in and put my calories that the machine told me i burned into MFP. If i am just walking around or anything else I just let fitbit tell mfp how many calories I burned. Love it! Have never been more…

I just did the samething had red grapefruit in natural juice and a nonfat blueberry yogurt and over on my sugar already. I agree with the others just try and stay away from sweets and white flour items and eat healthy sugars. I am going to read up and see what is a healthy amount for the day or if MFP is just a little…

I am 5' 3 and started at 170 ` I average about 1200 cals a day and do not eat back my exercise calories. I usually do the elliptical for 30 min a day and try and get 10000 steps in daily. I have had nice steady weight loss. I think if you want to loose weight then you need to stay around 1200 cals. I feel if you dont loose…

Pretty sure humans average about 14 lbs in your intestines at any givin time! Now there is something to think about yeck!

I only sync mine Monday thru Friday at work and to me it is totally worth it. I have never been so motivated before as I am now that I have the fitbit. I log everything on MFP not on fitbit and they work great together.

Hi Donna - You can do this - Just know that it will take time. This is the first time that I have decided that no matter what I am not giving up. Try and add a little something every week that will aid in your weight loss. Buy a pedometer they have some that come with computer programs and I think that has been my biggest…

Do they have a gym/fitness center at your school/college? I work at a College and it is my saving grace. I sneak over every chance I get. If they do then you could stop in before/after/between classes. I just do cardio most days but every other day I do arms. It really just takes 20 min or so. Haven't started on legs yet…

You can do this - It truly is all about calories in vs calories burned. You must log everything you eat. I use to be "oh well i will just eat the salad, or I will skip the fries or chips and just have the sandwich" but untill you realize the calories in food you just have no idea what you are eating. The best thing I did…

Here is what i tell myself almost everyday. Ok self so you dont feel like working out - that is fine - just get dressed and go to the gym - thats it. Then if you want to leave you can. Then once you are at the gym tell yourself Ok Just get on the treadmill for a few minutes thats it and then if you want to quit you can -…

Great job keep it up! Thanks for the motivation:)

I have a fitbit - it is a pedometer like thing that you wear on your bra or hip. It counts your steps and tells me how many calories I burn daily. To get your calorie deficit you track your daily calories and compare that to how many you burned that day. I too shoot for 1000 calorie deficit daily. I do not always make this…
