You have to link the 2 apps together for the information to flow. If you've linked through Fitbit, you still need to enable the data link in MFP. You also need to decide whether you want to allow MFP to negate calories as well, if you're below your desired calorie burns. I do neither, since I use TDEE so I have a constant…

Syntrax Nectar: Caribbean Cooler, Chocolate Truffle or Vanilla. Shamrock Farms, a dairy company, has introduced a new protein milk called Rockin Refuel. It is milk based with added milk proteins. They have 3 different protein levels: lean 20 grams (with lactose & sucralose), muscle recovery 20 grams (all lactose no…

Syntrax Nectar is the bomb!!! It comes in a variety of flavors, although I think Caribbean Cooler, Chocolate Truffle & Vanilla are the best. Caribbean Cooler is pineapple coconut. My usual breakfast is plain Greek yogurt (6 oz), 1 scoop Caribbean Cooler, Kasha Go Lean 1 oz, roasted edamame 1 oz & fresh pineapple. It's…

If you go to your dashboard on your computer, then the "gear" image at the top, you can click on "settings." That is where you adjust or "customize" your stride length. I figured the dashboard would keep my adjustment when I changed from my Fitbit One to my Charge HR, but it didn't. I had to reset my stride length for the…

Lactaid 2 % Lactose Free Milk - 100% Lactose Free, 0.5 cup Kashi - Go Lean Crunch - Honey Almond Flax - 28 grams Cheerios - Cinnamon Almond Protein - 55 grams Strawberries - Raw, 0.5 cup My breakfast this morning. I tend to eat this, as it gives me a sufficient amount of carbs before I head out on an 8-10 mile run. If I…

I prefer the Syntrax Nectar brand of protein powders. I'm a physician & it is the brand most recommended physicians & dietitians. I like the Chocolate Truffle & Caribbean Cooler (pineapple coconut) flavors. The chocolate one I mix 1-1/2 scoops in 8 oz. milk + 2 cups water, then add 1/2 serving of Carnation Chocolate Malt…

I used to have this problem all the time. First try loosening your lace, or change the lacing technique--#5 in the pic above is what is recommended. After all of that, I still had trouble. I went to my local running store & they recommended Asics Nimbus for the gel cushioning. (FYI, Asics run small, so error on the side of…

Chobani's Pumpkin Spice is good too, but pretty tart. I add a little Sugar-free Pumpkin Spice liquid creamer to the Chobani & it's really good. Also the Chobani is fewer calories, even with the added creamer.

I just bought new running shoes. I've tried most every brand on the market. I buy my shoes at the Runners Forum, and they suggested I try the Hoka brand. I LOVE them!!!! These are by far the most comfortable running shoes I've ever had! I highly recommend them! I have had a terrible time with my fore foot going numb, so I…

Drawing & painting--I painted the murals in one of the NICUs I used to cover. Writing-fictional long stories, short stories & poetry. Sewing--I've done everything from normal clothing, heirloom children's clothing & christening gowns, men's suits, formal gowns & bridesmaids dresses. Knitting & crocheting--sweaters, coats &…

I think a lot of folks look younger in their success post after their weight loss. Unfortunately, I look older. The loss of weight allowed my wrinkles to show & my dimples aren't as big. :ohwell:

See a doctor first to make sure it is only a frozen shoulder & not a more serious injury. Once evaluated ask for a referral to physical therapist. They can help you work through an exercise program to slowly loosen the shoulder & work up the strength of surrounding muscles. I went through this about 5 years ago after a bad…

Love, LOVE asparagus!!!! It's best when you buy slimmer rather than thicker asparagus stalks. Rinse it under water to clean & then snap/break off the bottom end. It will break naturally at the woody point, throw the bottom end away. My favorite way to cook asparagus is to roast it in a really hot oven. Preheat oven to 450…

It's the aspartic acid in asparagus that give that smell.

Another vote for Quest! I like chocolate chip cookie dough & the new cookies & cream the best. I've also tried cinnamon roll, apple pie & vanilla almond torte (tastes like Bit 'O Honey candy, expect for the initial artificial sweetener taste, but it disappears quickly after the first bite). Quest bars have one of the best…

I use pasta, when I'm making spaghetti & just create room in my calories & macros for the real thing. If you're looking to make a "zucchini" noodle, here's another option. Williams-Sonoma has a device that cranks out a lot of "noodles" quickly. It called a Paderno Spiralizer. I made Chinese Chicken Salad this week & used…

This thread is all kinds of SAD!!! So much misinformation, which will lead to lean body mass (i.e. muscle) loss, decreased calorie burns, plateaus & eventual failure. You can't sustain this kind of diet for life, which means when you increase your calories post weight loss, you will regain weight quickly! For you doubters,…

Right now, it's Chocolove Dark Chocolate candy bars, but given my free choice, I prefer a good flavorful hard candy. Jolly Ranchers & Claeys Candy, especially Green Apple!

No, just sharing an exceptionally good cookbook with a fellow baker. I love your posts, because they a SENSIBLE and realistic. Enjoy the book, I've bought one for most of my family members over the years. Just save the goodies for special occasions, or freeze them enjoy them a few at a time. :)

Yeeeesss!!! You don't have to give up what you love; you need to learn to eat it in moderation! That is the recipe for success & a life long dietary change. Love the post & I'll share a little secret with you. The best cookie cookbook EVER!!!…

This looks good, thanks! I can see using this in a lettuce wrap with some tomatoes, green onions, black beans, 4-mix Mexican cheese & a tiny bit of sour cream or plain greek yogurt. Or make it into a salad with all the previous & substitute Boat House Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing. YUM!

I made a point to retry everything I hated as a kids. I now love most of those foods I used to dislike, but to this day, I still can't stand peaches. Must be my unique tastebuds, shrug. :ohwell:

Brussel sprout, because they smell & taste like sweaty feet. Peaches, because they taste like sweat. Everything else is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<Golden mix named Lizzie Bea. She was a horribly abused rescue, extremely shy & withdrawn, but so gentle! Lizzie's withdrawn nature is what spurred on getting a second dog as a companion for her. Enter Frances a pure bred Golden. They adore each other & Frances brought life back to Lizzie! Both of their pics are on my…

Ah, I just noticed that now, my bad! Sorry, I usually agree with most everything you post. I guess I should have read with a more careful eye, as you changed the word (i.e tolerant for intolerant), hence my mistake.

You are both 1/2 right & 1/2 wrong. Her % for Northern European (i.e caucasians) is ridiculously high, while Johnny has the race profile reversed. This information is straight from the American Academy of Pediatrics: "In populations with a predominance of dairy foods in the diet, particularly northern European people, as…

I get them every 2 weeks as well. You can decide which snacks you want to receive. You can click to get your favorites often & delete those you don't want to receive. I went through & deleted all those with really high calories, tons of carbs or flavors I don't like. I LOVE them & so does my family.!!! If you need a code:…

Eat more! If you are using your Fitbit number as your TDEE (total daily expenditure of energy), then you calorie deficit is set according to your weight loss goal. If you need to lose >20 pounds, set your deficit at TDEE-20%. If your need to lose 10-20 pounds, then TDEE-10 to 15%, and once you're down to <10 pounds to…

Hi! I use the TDEE-deficit weight loss method. I gleaned all my knowledge for the "In place of a Roadmap" thread. It is excellent reading. Several folks have ask me how to follow the method & some rational for the macro goals. I posted the below response many times in the past--it follow the same details as the "roadmap"…

I opened this thinking, "Oh no, not another one!" I was so happy to see your post! Congratulations!!! What an amazing accomplishment! :drinker:
