Spinning is one of my primary exercises so I have found that wearing my BM on my left calf produces the same calorie burn as my HRM. Wearing it on my arm during spinning does not accurately count my burned calories.

Thank you, I guess my macros are set correctly, they look kind of like was mentioned. On LC days more carbs left than HC days. I am on week 2 and have lost 6lbs so far so I guess I'm doing something right.:smile:

Hi everyone! I bought CMLM and read it quickly. However, I didn't get up the nerve to begin the program until Wednesday of this week. I started on LC and I'm doing the Classic program. I am a serious sugar addict! Today I feel sluggish and I have a headache, but Chris says this may happen the first few weeks. I will push…

I do a spinning program most days and found that if I wear it on my calf during those times, it's more accurate. Before BMF I wore a HRM so that's how I compared whether it was more accurate on my arm or my calf for spinning. Hope this helps.

A friend of mine said she uses the food processor for these types of ingredients and adds them into her sauces or wherever she can. They'll never know what it is!

My 12 yo daughter is currently doing 30DS and a sit-up challenge. She's very athletic (plays travel softball and AAU basketball). I only encourage her to stay active, and to incorporate fruit and veggies into her diet. She is not fat but in the middle range for her age and height.

At this rate, you'll have to buy a new dress! There is only so much fitting they can do:happy:

Thanks for the update! I'm going to a party next weekend so I will try it out as well.

I have read on the forum others who wear it tucked inside their bra on the left side. I can't account for the accuracy but I would rather have it on me than not. The only other place I wear mine is around my calf because I do spinning for my exercise and it picks up the data more accurately than around my arm.

I can agree with zlauermom on this. I am normally up in weight a few days before my actual weigh in day because of exercise but miraculously the scale always shows my 2lb loss on weigh in day. I wouldn't worry very much about it, just keep doing what you're doing. I have even read that some people may not lose one week,…

BMF has me at a much higher calorie goal than MFP and at first I was scarred to eat that much, so I made myself follow the BMF recommendations for one week. I lost exactly 2lbs each week since then. I set MFP to my BMF calorie goal and I do not track exercise on MFP. I have the two linked so that I can use the MFP food…

I tried the Scooby calculator and it did not work for me to eat -20% TDEE. I maintained so I bought a Body Media Fit and now I eat 2250 calories and my total burn for the day is 3250 which is 1000 cal deficit. I am losing at 2lbs per week consistently now. What I learned is that my body actually burns about 2200 calories…

Nice work!

I met my husband at a healthy weight and married him obese. We've been married 16 years (together for 22) and I am now 272lbs. He tells me that I should work on losing weight ONLY when I complain about it. He's been very supportive, but I think my yoyo dieting and complaining about it without working at it really bothered…

I have had many embarrasing moments at my weight. A few years ago, I was at an amuzement park with my daughter and tried to get on a ride and couldn't fit. She was so sad and I encouraged her to go ahead and ride the coaster by herself (she was only about 8 or 9 at the time). But that wasn't enough to kick me into gear. A…

I'm using BMF numbers, set to moderately active. MFP had me eating well below where I needed to be and then if I ate back my exercise calories it was too high. So, now I just meet my BMF goals daily and let the chips fall where they may. I've had mine two weeks and have lost 4lbs (my goal is set for 2lbs per week), I'm…

So now I'm two weeks in with my BMF and have lost 4lbs (2 each week), which is right on target. Thank you all for your suggestions and support. I am highly motivated and feel like this time I can finish this thing. Happy Losing :smile:

You will love it! I am on week 2 with mine and I am already dependent on having it. I have lost 2lbs consistently so far and today isn't my weigh in day but I'm already down 2lbs this week. It keeps me motivated to move, even if it's cleaning something in my house to add to the burn. You can do it, use the BMF as the great…

Do most of you work out with 30DS everyday or is there a certain schedule? I need to dig mine out, I bought it about 2 years ago and never got up the nerve to do it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Everyone looks amazing! Congratulations on your losses and thanks for posting pics!:happy:

Down 2lbs! :laugh:

So far my average is 6hrs but that's because I try to make up time on the weekend:yawn:

Thanks everyone. I will wait a couple of weeks and see what happens and then adjust from there. I really appreciate your posts.

Thanks for the help and inspiration. I won't look again until Friday:wink: I am being very diligent in tracking everything but was just getting concerned because I am not hitting my calorie goal every day even though I am eating higher fat content to try to get as many calories in as possible. I feel a big difference in my…

My worry is my calorie intake. I do have lots to lose (116lbs to lose), but BMF has me eating 2250 calories. Mind you, I had been eating 1800 last month and didn't lose but about 5lbs last month. I currently weight 275.5 so I should be dropping weight steadily right now and I'm not. This has not happened with my weight…

This is my 3rd day using my BMF and so far I love it! I've already met my step goal and exceeded it by 3000 today! It's so nice to have a good look into my lifestyle, and it makes we want to be more active so that I can see those numbers and my goal deficit:)

I just got my BMF yesterday so today is my official first day! I'm hoping to start seeing the scale go down!

You have a great testimony to share! WTG!

Up .5 this week :( Got my new BodyMedia Fit and hopefully will see the scale drop next week.

Great job! I just had almost the same NSV today.
