The Fitbit and MFP have not been syncing too well all week. I've had the same problem. I just go to the Fitbit log in the "Food Plan" section, and if you have it set for personalized, you can hold your mouse over the little magnifying glass after where it tells you how many calories you can eat and it will show you what…

I have a friend with MS that is doing this so if she can then I should at least try! :P She's inspiring!

Greasy pizza is caused by greasy meat toppings and cheap cheese. Eat at a quality pizza place that takes pride in using the best ingredients, order veggies and add maybe chicken or lean ham and that eliminates the grease complaint. Grease is a "Chain Pizza" thing where they mass produce their product using cheap…

I spent an hour outside yesterday cleaning out flowerbeds and my Fitbit logged the extra calories burned showing my activity level (not steps). When I came in, I had lots of eating to do to make sure I didn't net below my BMR! :) :flowerforyou: I think that was a better workout than the bike ride I had taken earlier in the…

^^ This ---- I went 10 weeks trying to eat 1200-1300 calories even though my BMR was 1527 and Calories Burned Daily averages 2200. 3 of those weeks when I felt like I "fell off the wagon" and ate 1700+, I lost, when I cut back, I gained. I started tracking to find a pattern. Last week I consistently forced myself to eat at…

LOL Sorry for the "Pizza Maker Lingo" A Dough Docker is a roller with teeth that you run over the dough after you roll it out to keep the crust from bubbling up in the oven when it starts baking. "Double Docking" helps make the crust thinner and crispier. :)

I have owned a Pizza Restaurant for 18 years. I eat pizza! The crust is the biggest culprit so I just roll it out very thin so I don't use as much dough. The sauce has basically no calories (25 on a 7" pizza). I use vegetables and if I want meat, we use a 95% Fat Free Deli Ham that we shave very thin so I just put a few…

You're not eating enough. You need to check your BMR. This is how many calories your body needs if you just laid comatose. I bet it's well above 1200! Follow the plan and eat what it tells you to eat and if you're not hungry, eat some handfuls of nuts or make a protein shake with lowfat milk, banana (or cocoa powder), ice,…

Wow, It sounds like an eating disorder waiting to happen. You do realize that the less you eat, the more you lower your BMR so you'll have to eat even less to lose weight? And that weight loss will be all muscles. [/quote] look, i just came here to answer the question, not to be bombarded by your unprofessional advice. i…

^ same happened here! I was eating around 1200-1300 in Jan/Feb and exercising and eating back calories-- nothing. Bumped to 1400-1500, exercised and ate back part of calories, lost some inches but no pounds. So last week I bumped to 1700 and because of my schedule wasn't able to do any exercise but ate consistently every…

The Fiber One 90 Calorie Bars are my favorite. I also like their Brownies microwaved for a few seconds! (take out of package first!) Dole makes dark chocolate covered banana slices that are really good! 100 calorie packs.

Welcome! I'm 55, menopausal, and too heavy. I'm 5'6" and started at 193. With clothes on, I don't think I look that bad, but "in the raw", LOTS of fat pockets and bumps! I've been working the plan for 10 weeks and didn't really lose anything. Lose and pound then gain a 1/2 and was stuck at 192. It takes time and you have…

Everyone has been going crazy waiting for the Flex but I still think my Fitbit One is the best! I like to be able to glance at it and see my steps and calorie burn without checking my phone or a computer. The Flex doesn't have a display. If I'm working, I can glance at it and it encourages me to move along to get to that…

Do you eat exactly what it says you need to eat?

I don't understand all these people talking about their Fitbit adding steps for riding in a car. Mine never does! I started watching and checking it because I had never thought about it possibly doing this but living in Illinois where we have the roughest and bumpiest roads in the country, mine doesn't register steps, in…

First to the comment "How did you gain if you didn't eat", Well, that's also where I am! I never ate breakfast and would have a salad about 2:00 then maybe have a hand full of chips or crackers later in the day and that would be it. I would maybe drink 1 glass of water or tea and a pepsi. I did this for years and would…

Go with 20%. I thought if 20 is good, then 25 or 30 is better but the only 2 out of almost 9 weeks that I lost was the 2 weeks I ate at the 20%, eating less, I gained.
-
When I started out I was eating TDEE-20% and I lost then I read that I shouldn't be eating back the points I got daily from my Fitbit for exercise so I cut back and was netting 30-40% less than TDEE and only at about 1000-1200 cal a day and I gained. I made out a spreadsheet showing the past 8 weeks "Cal Burned" "20%" and…

First of all I want to say how proud I am that you had the discipline to lose weight while in college! Most gain! :) I know how you feel and I'm 50+ years old! A couple years ago, my husband and I started exercising together through a community program. He lost 30# and I lost 20# (from 183 to 163). I was SO excited! But,…

First of all, you can't give up this easily and this quick! You didn't gain your weight in 2 weeks and it's not going to come off in 2 weeks. I weigh 192 and I have been doing the MFP calorie counting for 60 days. The scales keeps showing the same 2-3 pounds gained one week and lost the next BUT I did measure before I…

Count me in! I went on a 30 mile ride yesterday, 2nd ride of the season. Felt good to be back in the saddle. :). Ready for a May Challenge!
