There are multiple postings about Apple Watch and MFP. I've found they just don't play nice. MFP doesn't account for Apple's "active calories". i've been trying lose it and like the intergration with apple watch better although its food logging has it's challenges. It seems like they could figure out a better integration…

I've used it. It does help you plan your meals better and helped me save money when grocery shopping because everything was planned out. I only used recipes that I added in from websites like skinnytaste.com, etc. If you are looking for a planner to help you save money and meal plan its great. I'm not sure if it would help…

My studio owners and instructors love Dancers Body and Super Sculpting 2. I take studio classes most of the time. They also have streaming videos online now.

Couldn't figure out how to post a pic but its my profile picture now. I don't have a ton of weight to lose. More focused on toning which I feel Bar Method helps me achieve.

I don't know how to post pics but I have been doing Bar Method for over a year. I can tell a HUGE difference. I only did Bar Method and walked. I am down to a small instead of a medium in a lot of workout clothes. I lost 2.5 inches in my hips, .5 inches in my arms, .5 inches in my thighs and about .5 inch in my waist (it…

I second Lucy and personally, Lululemon are my favorite. They come in sizes, 2, 4 6, 8, etc. so I find they fit better. They aren't cheap though so be prepared to drop some cash if you go to either of those stores. I like the Wunder Unders from Lulu. I have a friend that also swears by NIke ones.

You could always roast the pork tenderloin with carrots and potatoes. Serve as is or with a salad. This marinade is delicious and I have made it without marinating for hours. http://foodie2sisters.blogspot.com/2012/05/delicious-pork-tenderloins.html

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Bar Method. I take the studio classes but the DVD's can be just as effective. I take class 4-5 times a week. Burr (the founder of Bar Method) recommends 3-5 times a week. I am definitely more tone and the only other exercise I do is walk a few times a week with my pups.

I burn about 350 calories in a 60 minute studio class of Bar Method.

potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, green salad cornbread. Low country boil is awesome! (I'm from the coastal GA/SC area and we have it all the time. Even had one for my rehearsal dinner!).

http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/lean_spicy_taco_meat.html My fave taco meat for burritos, tacos, salads etc! I also sometimes take the extra thin corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, bake at 350 for 10-15 min to make my own chips. healthier than store bought and it satisfies my nacho craving.

The usually have what they call "diet steamers" on the menu. No fat, no oil and they give you the brown sauce on the side. It actually isnt bad and I order it most of the time when we get takeout. The Mu shu is also a better option.

Do you log the activity in MFP or on the fitbit dashboard? It seems most people say to log on the MFP site. The only activity I would normally log that fitbit won't pick up is my Bar Method class and I wear my HRM to that every now and then to get estimated calorie burn.

Thanks! I am currently at 1500 calories per day and will keep it at that. I have the fitbit one which I think has a start/stop on it (I just got it today). I'll have to play around with it over the week to learn all the features!

Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 or 30 Day Shred. They are 20-25 min long and produce great results.

I take the Bar Method class at the studio. My instructor recommends the dancers body for experienced Bar Method students and the change your body for beginners. I LOVE the classes. I had foot issues for over a year from running. Bar is the only thing that helped it heal while allowing me to stay in shape.

I created my own workout and just wear my HRM once every few weeks to class to see if my general calorie burn changes. I usually burn between 325-375 calories depending on the day and the teacher.

I made my own workout. I wear my HRM every few weeks and just log it at the same amount of calories each time. I normally burn 325-375 calories depending on the class. I usually log in between there.

I LOVE Bar Method. I did a 60 day fitness challenge and lost over 4.5 inches. (2 in my waist and 2 in my hips) I also run but only 2-3 days a week. I walk a lot with my dogs.

It's not heavy lifting but you could always get some resistance bands to use to keep muscle tone. And just keep up with cardio on the road...

Try not drinking any caffeine after lunch. I never thought that was the issue until I tried it and I sleep much better now.

I can see how her DVD's work since they remind me very much of how The Bar Method tones you. However, I hated them b/c she never told you when to switch moves and there was little encouragement from her in the DVD. Personally, I like some more direction when I am working out. I think I did the metamorphosis one about 5…

I don't think anyone would be confused by who the bride is but as someone who got married last summer I would not have been happy if someone wore a dress that looks like a wedding gown to my wedding. I spent a lot of time (and money) planning our perfect wedding. Its the bride and grooms day and the whole point is you…

I agree. I also think its too bridal. The dress is absolutely gorgeous though. You also want to remember at wedding you never want to take the attention away from the bride. =)

chobani greek yogurt, protein shakes (I buy the premiere protein chocolate from Costco or make my own), hard boiled eggs, apples and peanut butter, mini babybel light, almonds, string cheese with a slice of deli meat wrapped around it.

Just saw this. I have worn my HRM a few times and usually burn around 400. Most of the time over, sometimes just below. BTW-I am 5'7" and 151lbs.

Oh and also keep in mind that MFP calories burned on exercise tends to be higher than what you are actually burning. A Heart rate monitor with a chest strap is the most accurate way to track that.

This. I too exercise a lot and was hungry all the time at 1200 calories. I bumped up to 1300 and then to 1400 and was still losing. Also, I would recommend tracking your sodium. You will be amazed at how much you are taking in and that will make you retain water weight. Like others have said try to keep eating out at a…
