bump. I want one too and am totally confused by all of it to be honest. Lots of people say Polar so I looked at some of them on Amazon. Still confused. heh. Do you have to strap something to your chest when you use one?

you said you've been at it about a month. Hopefully not TMI, but I get major binge urges about a week to a few days before my period. My hormones go crazy, I get depressed and angry etc etc. Just a thought. I up my cals a little so I don't "feel deprived" :)

THIS. I've been in this place and in yours. (two different relationships) Took me a while to figure out that people aren't supposed to act like that, but I leanred. Your turn! :) Good luck

I did. I'm stoked to be the smaller version of my fatter self (size 18 to size 4), but that's exactly what I am. OK. I have much less of a tire around my middle, but I have lots of flab just llike I did 50 lbs ago.

!! Because cats are awesome! Clyde *is* cute.

It's the name of the cat in my avi. You see, it's my cat that is overweight. not me. She's shy and doesn't have thumbs so I'm on the site in her place. Isn't she pretty???

I just picked up the First Anna Pigeon series book by Nevada Barr. We shall see.... I listen to books while I drive and workout though.. Currently I'm listening to "What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage" It's humorous and way more informative than I would have ever imagined. I recommend it to everyone, but…

I read Tess Gerritsen's books. I love them. I love her writing and story telling; just awesome twists! I'll say though that they are nothing like the show. at all. My mom was super disappointed, but then she loves the books Bones is based off and I dont :P

Unless you have panic disorder, the medication Zyban (Welbutron/Bupropion) has had huge success rate. My sister and boyfriend both quit real cigarettes and use e-cigarettes. Both of them smoked since they were 15! It's still nicotine, but they both say they feel a million times better and can breathe now, etc. Don't get…

hi! I vowed I wouldn't give anymore "advice" out until I lose a few more pounds. But you can feel free to add me and also my diary is public. I think I am going about things in the right way... It's all about proper nutrition and exercise :)

my current goal is to drop about 5-8 lbs. ideally more can go away but that's for later :) My Diary is public. I'm also open to help, suggestions and more friends with similar goals and activity etc etc..

I'll send you a request. My diary is public and I actually log everything properly now. We will see in a couple weeks if my method is going to work. Having support here has been more helpful than I can explain.

I found I had better results when I eat soon after a workout. Even if it's a snack like an egg or nuts - whatever. I also find that having a snack pre-workout 1-1.5 hours before helps too. Whatever makes you feel good :)

They say the first year is the hardest. Even harder with a baby added in. Sounds like you might be stressed about things and eating to deal with the stress. Does your husband eat a lot too? I know it's hard in relationships sometimes because guys can eat so much more than women. Dealing with the underlying issues will…

I clean a lot too. Two cats and wood floors. The place their fur gets! It can be pretty zen sweeping up.

BAG HOARDER!! I'm going to suggest you to the Hoarders show! j/k I recycle my plastic bags. They actually are banned in my city now so I don't get as many as I used to. Previously I had one plastic bag that served as Prime Bag Holder and I stuffed it's litte guts out! Then I took it to the bag recycing bin.

THIS. ^^ Moral of the story: Choose better dairy products if you choose to consume dairy. It's out there you just have to find it! And if you still don't want dairy, there are lots of alternatives.

mine is public now. hoping I can be a good example (except maybe my weekends haha)

Yes! Bored = grazing time for me! If you're really starving, add in a snack and maybe do some chores or walk or whatever to balance the calories if you're that concerned. you may need more water. some days the body just needs more hydration than others! Take note of what you do and how it affects you so next time the issue…

Changing the Macros to what better suits you is a good start. I have often heard that MFP sets protien rather low, for example. Personally I started ignoring the Macros and focus on calories and feeling full, energized, etc. instead. I know that if I eat more carbs I will be hungry again sooner. More suagr? I will get…

Hi there Jennifer! Welcome! Feel free to add me - I log pretty much every day and have similar experience - except that I'm well short ;) I've found a pretty good balance at the moment with exercise and eating. Having peeps on here and an open diary help me out a great deal with my eating issues.

This is good advice. Personally I do 1200-1300 and am fine as long as I make healthy choices. It's a learning process. I'm also pretty small: Many people do need to consume more than 1200. The Road map post is helpful and "eating more to lose more" is worth a try!

Check out some Blue's shows -House of Blues or Buddy Guy's or something, if you're not terrified of heights go on the Sky Deck :{)

OOOoo Nazi zombies rpg would be bomb!! "omg we opened an old bunker... filled with undead.... SS!!!" (yeah I'm bored)

No badge loss. Zombie love is just one categorey of geekyness. It's a rather popular comic book series, perhaps it's easier to love if you've read them. I was bored halfway through the first episode BUT I don't care about zombies. Sorry, zombie-cores! I'm more history and sci-fi friendly. My horror-geek friends still love…

I love Sherlock too. I ADORE Benedict so so much. In a non-creepy way I promise. I was hesitant to watch Elementary too, but if you enjoy the character of Sherlock Holmes at all, you should enjoy it. It's *very* different from the BBC Sherlock, but still good.

Cheese. OMG Delicious cheese...

Cute and fluffy puppies like you shoulnd't shave at all! Unless you live in Georgia. It's hot there.

yes it's because you are smaller. Lots of small people lose with eating 1200-1300 Lots of people claim you have to eat way more. I guess it might depend on what they're doing for activity I'm 5'1" CW: 128 When I was around 150 I still ate around 1300 to lose I think I lose more when I eat 1200 (and exercise) but I don't…

They need to sit down and find an actual compromise. I do not dream of a big wedding, but I sure don't want to get married in a courtroom either. It sounds like dude just doesn't want to deal with a wedding at all. From what I hear, most guys don't and the bride does everything anyway. If it's going to be a…
