Really need to see your food diary to help. It sounds like you are doing everything right,

Yes I have left my kids in the car alone. Both are grown adults now, but seriously an 8 year old should be left alone for the time it takes to run in and pick up quick items. Lock the car, set the rules, and go. I would not leave a baby alone in the car, but seriously talk to your kids, set some rules up, test them with…

Have you gone to a doctor and had them check your hormones, and blood sugar levels? Start with the doctor to work out a plan and go from there. Logging everything you eat from chewing gum to water really does help you to be aware of what is going in your body. Good luck

Feel free to add me, Diary is open. I just deleted all of the people on my list who were not active or who I knew from work

Try brushing your teeth. Usually that stops me from eating because no one wants to eat something after they have brushed their teeth

Red raspberry Greek yogurt with chocolate chips is my new obsession. I make room for it in my day

Most likely your calories are set at being very active, Since you are ill and not so active, just log what you eat and get better. Then worry about exercise and losing weight

I use a fitbit to measure my calories burned each day all day. While I know it is not exact, I feel like I can use that daily number and keep my calories under it. In other words, Fitbit says I burned 2000 calories. I want to eat 1250 so I burn more then I eat and lose weight

Do not get frustrated, look at your food choices and adjust. If you open your diary others can look and offer suggestions. make sure you are getting enough protein and you are eating less then you burn.

Wear a fit bit, track your calories burned every day and eat less then you burn and you will lose weight. Burn more, eat less

I ride my bike back and forth to work. It is a great workout. You need to plan ahead though. I work in an office, so I leave dress hoes there, and a change of clothes. My bike has saddle bags on the back to carry my lunch and change of clothes. Riding in gives you so much energy in the mornings to get stuff done.

You will love it. To know each day how many calories you are burning is fantastic. I am not guessing at my activity level in a day. I know I burned x number of calories and to lose the 1.5 pounds each week, I need to eat 750 calories less then I burned. Simple math now. I use MFP to track the food I eat, and Fitbit tracks…

Make a quick trip to an ER or walk in clinic and have them get the cotton out or it will become encrusted with wax and may damage your hearing.

i do not know for sure, but I have been told Watermelon is a natural way to get rid of water. I also have the same problem, I drink lots of water and by the end of the day my ankles are swollen majorly

I have the FitBit One also and love it. Really gives me a true reading as to my activity level and lets me focus on being active. I no longer guess at how many calories I burned lifting, walking, or biking, I know exactly and using that number helps me to stay in a calorie deficient and lets the weight come off.

Most of the time the machines are close. As long as you entered your weight correctly. I use a fit bit to track the calories I burn daily and that is accurate. I have checked it prior to getting on the machines and checked it after and it matched

Great score, you might be able to get a manual off the internet. Champions are really good juicers

It will have calories burned in the morning as you are burning calories when you sleep

I have a fitbit and have been using it for a week. My weight loss was stuck and everyone kept telling me to eat more, Well, with the fitbit, it tells me exactly where I am at the end of the day, how many calories I burned, takes the food I put into MFP, and tells me if I am over or under and what I need to do. I set my…

I give the yolks to my dog. She loves them and they help her coat stay healthy.

I was eating 1200 daily for 2 months and lost a few pounds, but mostly muscle, my body fat increased and my strength decreased. This is the best site I have found Explains everything in easy to understand language, one site to figure it all out http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

When they decide to talk to someone on their iphone and hold a conversation in the same voice they would be talking to me. Nothing like a sudden Hey, how are you? that is not directed at you, but an imaginary person on the other end of an ear piece

Add me. I am on here a lot, on a weight loss plateau myself. Trying to get the scale to move, so playing with the calories I have been eating. I believe we can all lose this weight.

That was the big shocker for me. I ate lots and lots of fruits on Weight Watchers and the first day on MFP I was out of calories by noon. Everything has sugar.
