both. My "beginner program" Includes strength training, and cardio and stretching/yoga.

It seems like you are getting your regular burn (RMR)? and your exercise burn added back to your mfp? What does your garmin app say you had for a calorie burn?

@Aaron_K123 I have done it all. Literally, name a diet plan and I have probably tried it. But regardless of "Diet" I only get results if I am actually counting calories.

Thanks, you guys! I really appreciate the encouragement. I am so glad I am not alone. @AprilCoe I really hope I make it to 1000 days. I have set a mini-goal to log in for 10 days.

Week One is Done and OVER!!! Now on to week 2. So far I am down 4lbs. :D I Feel better, except for the part where yesterday I left the house without any snacks and ended up paying for an eight dollar vegetarian salad...translation box of lettuce. so far today I have had Turkey bacon and Egg Omelet, Chopped salad with…

Yesterday was rough....but I made it better. Yesterday I had to go out of town for work. I was supposed to be presenting at the some pre luncheon activities and needed to make it an hour away by 10:30AM. I still do things the way I did when I was a college student...presentations are done at the last minute....and this one…

oh..They are!

Survived another delicious day! Which included cheese scrammbled eggs, mixed nuts, West African Red Red (black eye peas stewed in tomatoes and spices) Turkey bacon, avocado, jerked chicken, parmesean cauliflower and sauteed green beans. ..and coffee with half and half.

Made it through Day 2. I asked my kid if his lunch box had enough to eat, as you can see below it doesn't look like a lot of food. He said that it was more than enough and he wasn't hungry. B: 2 Eggs, 1oz Cheese Snack: 1 cup baby Spinach, Sunflower Seeds, and Olives, with a skim milk and yogurt ranch dressing (I will not…

I have a jaw bone up Move and it doesn't log my activity while driving. However do you have the UP App?

Just an FYI about Nursing and a problem you might have experienced due to weaning. When a woman nurses she burns up 500 calories a day just by nursing. It is a wonderful thing until you wean! Because suddenly your body is no longer burinng those 500ish calories. That said you might be experience a time where your body is…

Thanks. Beans are on my list for this evening. We cannot do a lot of bean meals as my son is allergic to them. HE can eat Chickpeas and Green Peas fine.

LOL. We need phase I. I just posted about our terrible pizza addiction. It isn't a joke. This morning I made really nice omelet and totally forgot the 1/2 cup of spinach. I am going to toss up a half cup of raw spinach yogurt dressing and sunflower seeds as a mid morning snack.

I will join but I will admit I am slow fat loser...averaging about a half pound a week. I might lose 10lbs over the next 90 days. I am on day 2 of the South Beach Diet Phase I. I badly needed a "Reset" as I was craving pizza and crackers all of the time. No Joke, some days I would eat pizza twice a day, and sometimes we'd…

Check out the ENgine 2 Diet. Those are some of the best recipes I have found on the web.

@concordancia;36008583 That is going to be my blue print but I am looking for some interesting combos. Like for example, egg plant mini pizzas. or Jerked Chicken roasted with Brussels sprouts and Garlic Cauliflower mash. Grill, Roast, Stir fry, or Steam. I Rarely boil vegetables. @Sabine_Stroehm Thanks for the group…

Really..i am the only one?

I am sorry about your loss. There's a couple of things. I am similar to you in height and weight. I am 176lbs, and have a trouble losing weight and it seems it TAKES A LOT for my body to burn fat. I can gain 4 or 5lbs in a month and take 4 months to lose it. That said I have had a real eye opening moment with my activity.…

I purchased the JawBone UPmove. It is the most basic name brand activity/sleep tracker I could find. It retails for $50USD but I found them on Amazon for half that. I love it. It can be worn as a clip or on a wrist band. Some of the wrist bands look like a piece of jewelry. I have had it for right a month and basically…

I am going to suggest something totally nuts, and something that has worked for me. Stop Eating Sweet Yogurt and Enjoy it as a Savory treat. I learned about this after my spouse was diagnosed diabetic and we tried to cut sugar. We no longer eat Yogurt sweet, but rather we make dressings and sauces. we still get all the…

@yassinelmeniawy You absolutely can eat whatever you want and still lose weight. The first time in my life I ever lost weight I ate whatever I wanted. My diet wasn't great at the time, a lot of Standard American Diet Stuff. When I began I had "will power". Basically, I could eat 1500 calories of whatever regardless of…

I do my food through MFP (I like the data base and community) but it is connected to Upapp....they sync together. I think I am going to test it for a week...if I lose a half pound i'll know. ;D

:D That sounds like fun!

Tonight is Kind Vegetable Taco night, 1 Bag of "beefless grounds" (must be this brand otherwise it taste and feel likes crap in your mouth) 1 Taco seasoning Packet (low sodium) 1 small onion Diced Sautee Onions and add Beefless Grounds Following the Instructions on Taco Seasoning Packet, add Taco Seasoning and water and…

West African cuisine is AWESOME!!! There's a place where I live that makes peanut butter stew. So good and delicious.

My Father was a peanut farmer, i have pb like 100 different ways but by far my absolute favorite is plain unsalted ground peanuts....no extra oil, sugar, salt, molasses. It makes a difference!

Welcome back!!

I am 5' 2'', and just updated my stats, including 30 minutes of vigorous exercise above my otherwise sedentary lifestyle. (it really varies day to day I try to go swimming four times a week) MFP has put me at 1200 net calories to lose 1.6lbs per week (more than I want to lose). Two other calculators have suggested a…

Calorie counting, vegetarian, low added sugar and processed grained diet. And beachbody workouts. Why? Calorie counting keeps we honest about the Amount of food I eat. I started losing weight as I became more consistent with logging my food and adding exercise. I purposely decided NOT to go all in when I began. I took baby…

I feel the same way, and at this point I can just about tell when I am going to have a "Swoosh."
