cindy Crawford!

I was 2 lbs far from my goal, but I am 2 lbs up and down and I never reach. I hace changed my exercise routines, lowered and raised my deficit, but it does not works! Discouraged too.

This. I have a Zip for last couple months, and it is accurate, very, specially for medium-high activities. Not that much for light activity like computer work, driving, as it does not detect movement. This I log manually. I got it because I was at a stall and I was not sure whether I was eating too much or too little. I…

how long? who knows. It depends on how much mucus you keep hidden in your bronchi and lungs. weeks or a few months. drink lots of water, so mucus is mostly liquid than solid, it will be gone easier. I heard that biting grapefruit seeds helps with the quitting because of the awful taste of smoke it gives. (hint)

I think you don´t need to worry too much. It is more than probably mucus, from yor throat or from your lungs. Tobacco, smoke, avoids your lungs to geet properly "self-cleaned", as the tissues has their own slight movement that rejects mucus out of your lungs and bronchi, and this kind-of-movement is slow or absolutely…

you should be seeing your own count in your newsfeed service. You joined in April, if you have been constant, you should have already seen it!

I have a Fitbit Zip and I track my Food here at MFP then sync to Fitbit and it has been working great for me, as I got out of the stall I was at, while eating more than never, I have to say that I sometimes find hard to eat the many calories I am supposed to eat, but I set my net calories as a weekly-bases goal, so lazy/…

this. You are very close to your goal, then you should be eating at TDEE -10%. Too much cardio wasted your muscles, and increases TDEE, then I agree you should be eating a lot more! Reducing carbs and cardio and increasing protein + weight training, whether you feel unable too eat that many calories. I am hungry eating…

I got my Zip 1 month ago when I decided to change my strategy froma low cal strategy (meaning netting BMR) to a -20%TDEE strategy, as I was at a stall for 2 months and I was only 2 kg far fron my weight goal. I had been checking different sites for tdee calculators, but I thought that wouldn´t work out well for me as my…

I am realizing these days that I have been living on very little calories for years. 2 years ago I lost 18 kg in 4 months on Dukan diet, sure I lost very quickly when only proteins, slowlier but not slow when on proteins and veggies, but I reached a point when I was losing weight without control even eating carbs and…

bump for later

I got a zip less than a month ago, as I wanted to switch from a 1200 cal diet to TDEE based diet. It has changed my life! it is motivating to move, to walk, to run, I wear it all day long, even at nights when I am at night shifts. I don´t consider calories burnt overestimated, but MFP underestimated instead; the truth,…

Thank you! I will keep on this for a few more weeks. Right now I am highly discouraged, I gained almost 4 pounds in those 12 days. I have reaad that this happens, that my body needs time to adapt after a lifetime eating too little calories, but I am not hopeless because I still fit in my recently adquired size 10 slimfit…

I have a question here, because I don´t like lifting heavy. I read that lifting lighter would eventually work out well too, and I really love cardio. I am at a stall for the last 4-5 weeks. I recently purchased a Fitbit Zip (10 days ago) and since then I am eating at TDEE -20%. The question is: Would this work for me, not…

Spain! And I am the only Spanish user in this thread too, since other user I found above just deactivated his/her account!

This. This is not research, you found a potential match, now you must prove it right before assessing conclusions. More, you need to prove directionality: what´s causing what.

anybody ?

I would need some help too, I am still pondering whether to buy a fitbit, I would need to know whther it would track any exercise or activity I do, besides walking-running. I mean, does it track calories burnt while lifting weights, while cleaning the house, when doing some deskwork, or driving? Because this is what I…

I only lost 15 lbs, and I want to lose 4-5 more to achieve my goal. but scale refuse to move, and i quit worrying about it since metric tape is my best friend now. What I cannot understand is why my %bf remains the same (high) when all those inches are gone from my waist and hips, and my boobs are melting in a daily basis,…

15 lbs. total 8782

I would eat part of my exercise calories, not all of then, as MFP overrates calorie expenditure from exercise, and I really cannot understand how this site, being so accurate about food, might be so indulgent about exercise: this may make people eat too close or over their TDEE, resulting in no weight loss, even gaining.…

I got tired just reading your post! Maybe because I work 60-70 hours/week too, including night shifts (I am a Family physician), my daughter is already 13 yo (my schedules has been the same since before she was born) but I am divorced so I don´t have anybody at home for help and support with the girl and housework and…

Hello, I am 43 and I have lost 15 pounds in 2 months, I have been gaining and losing weight for the last 13 years, and I have to say that I have been lighter but not thinner. I am 148 pounds now, 5´6´´ tall. I am close to my 139 pounds goal before I quit smoking again (I gain weight when I quit smoking as I am hungry all…

my home__settings__ switch to metric measurements. then it would appear "switch to English measurements" if you regret and want to go back to lbs. Good luck! I am spanish, but I prefer english measurements because the number is higher (when weighing in) and metric measurements for body measures, for the same reasons LOL so…

That´s a good question, as I consider "cheating" going over your calorie limit for the day. This I have done twice in 2 months, and that was 2 days that I was really hungry all day, and I overate healthy food for the whole day. Now I have learnt from this experience, and I have learnt to control hunger (not meaning…

I say to myself "no sweat, no sweet". No cheating when eating chocolate If I am under my calorie goal, so I check calories in the evening, and see what I can "afford" to eat. Working out a little bit would be a good change in your routine, together or not, and would allow you both some "cheating" almost every day. Anyway,…

Scales is a nightmare. I weigh myself daily, and sometimes several times a day, just to check how every little activity has an influence. Weigh after going to the restroom is 1 pound below the weigh before. 1 pound higher after breakfast. 2 pounds lower after workout. The good moment to weigh yourself is right when you get…

ok I will use this track to make a question myself: if I do my belly dance routine with 2.5kg dumbells in each hip, is this cardio, or strengh training for my abs?

Food that are rich in iron: red meats, all of them, long green leaf veggies, and, as a hint, any food in the rad range color: from orange to dark brown; don´t forget about strawberries, dark chocolate, mussels, red peppers, lentils
