there is no way fitbit is more correct. many times i have readings from fitbit that are obviously wrong...like climbing 500 stairs! calories are often higher too. i read this happens since it read the wind, and it was EXTREMELY windy that day. also, the bodymedia is FDA regulated and considered a Class II medical device.…
-
are you tracking sodium too? itd be helpful to see if your foods are holding a lot of salt in them. also you might have gained those lbs if its yr TOM.
-
absolutely. you can do it. ive lost 27+ since mid feb. and havent even gone to the gym yet. just be consistent...

bing cherries!

definitely accurate, and i trust the numbers completely. i wear both the fitbit and the bodymedia link, and although the numbers are a bit similar, the bodymedia has always been more accurate for me since it reads my body. theres nothing i dont like about it...well, other than if someone touches my left arm and they feel…

withings. its wifi, so you can keep it on the other side of the house, but it still connects to the internet to chart it down. plus, mfp links to it, so you never have to plug in the numbers yourself. it also gives you a breakdown of fat lbs vs lean muscle. highly recommended.

exactly! before if i wanted ice cream, id eat AT LEAST a pint, maybe 2! but instead, i treat myself to a weight watchers ice cream snack (SO GOOD!) or skinny cow...both around 100-150 cals which definitely beats the pints i was eating at almost 2000cals!!!
-
its a habit, and that habit is going to take consistent effort to break. TRUST ME, it gets way easier the more you dont give in to your binges, and the more times you successfully ignore them, the more confidence youll have to make it a habit not to give in. the first month is ALWAYS the hardest, but in time, you will be…

some of us dont have to think twice about what goes in our mouths, yet never gain a pound. i, however, am not one of those. when i did that, i gained 50lbs. ice cream, whole pizzas, cereal boxes, you name it. i ate it! i couldnt imagine what the calorie intake was when i did that since i never logged the calories, but…

im a HUGE cottage cheese fan, but know not all cottage cheeses are the same. some are just so tangy and nasty, then you'll find the perfect one. personally, i think HORIZON is the BEST out there hands down. packed with such much protein, its a great snack. sometimes ill add cashews in it, but mostly i just eat it plain.
-
everything in moderation, and ENJOY!

i felt like i ate the house yesterday, couldnt stop. snacks here. snacks there...but luckily the cal # i hit was my lower than my cals burned, so i did have a deficit (thank you bodymedia!) but the sodium levels i hit were a bit outrageous. ouch. TOM is coming for sure, but its cool....cause i usually have 1 cheat day a…

my FAVORITE way of eating shrimp is to sauté them in a bit of butter, sprinkled with parmesan cheese and pepper. DELISSSHHHHHH!
-
i LOVED ww, cause it taught me how to eat normal portions again. so i thank them tremendously for that. but after i relearned how to eat, ive cancelled my ww membership and have been here logging foods everyday.
-
LOVED this. its true. its much more about eating less and depriving yourself, but more abt making better choices with the food you love. so good. thank you!
-
wouldnt worry about it. i too had chinese last week and still managed to lose 3lbs. just keep going!
-
haha thats amazing.
-
i think the hardest part of the gym is getting there...and the second hardest, getting there OFTEN. ive had my membership..what 3 years now...and ive gone 2ce..all last year. i used to go everyday, but its a mental block that i have to JUST GO. so i get what youre saying. you are not alone. when i did used to go...i…
-
chobani? a handful of cashews? cottage cheese? or a snack that you really love...
-
i have a chobani EVERY morning. its the greatest.
-
youve lost 51lbs. you know what you can eat, and what you shouldnt eat. id say eat tons of proteins and go from there.

i also have both, wear both and prefer my bodymedia. at one time a month ago, i got a badge from fitbit...a helicopter badge telling me "Congrats! you have climbed 500 flights of stairs!" i was like what the hell, huh how is that possible since i hadnt. then i read reviews on how wind and weather affects the fitbit, and…

bodymedia is fantastic. it really reads your body's calorie expenditure, since it sits on your skin. the fitbit is a more of a fancy pedometer. both work, but its all abt the bodymedia for accuracy tailored to YOUR BODY.
-
mistake #1. not eating a proper protein filled lunch. ditch the pretzels and instead have a great filling lunch. maybe a turkey wrap with avocado? its important. that and a healthy protein filled breakfast. its completely possible to lose the 35 by august, but weight loss does slow down tremendously around the 10-15lb…
-
oh i binged last night too. TOM is coming and i feel its rage, its so hard to resist munchies and i couldnt! but thanks to my bodymedia, i read i still came out with a 6 calorie deficit! THANK YOU GOD! hahaha
-
walking the dogs 45 mins twice a day is AWESOME. keep at it consistently, keep at your calorie goals, drink WATER, eat breakfast and you'll see results in no time. !!!
-
i own both, but i find the LINK reads my body calorie expenditure better...since its reading my skin. the fitbit is also good, and also counts flights of stairs. never had any problem syncing the LINK to my phones, both to iphones and my new BlackBerry 10 (sideloaded app). id say go for it!!!!
-
ive literally tried every method i found online, and the lemon was always the best tip. but then it just made my avocados TASTE like lemon which i hated. so i just stared around my kitchen thinking how can i make this work...then i looked at the paper towel and a lightbulb went off in my head! its CRAZY how well its…

its actually really awesome you feel this disgusted. you have reached a point where its not working for you anymore and WILL do something about it. baby steps! you can be where you were last year in no time...use your motivation of disgust to get you back on track.
