Agree - I use the fitbit zip and gave up on the body media for that reason...I am NOT ok with wearing that thing all day everyday on my arm lol The zip no one ever sees :) It also helps motivate me if I am being lazy. I do think the zip is a bit lower than media but not enough off where it is an issue. MFP calculations for…

Nope female and I have a fit bit so I know my activity levels and for how long. Entered them in and it said I burn over 3000 in a 24 hour period where Body Media and Fitbit both have me just over 2000. Without entering in ANY activity and keeping it as sitting for 24 hours is about equal to what Body media fit bit and MFP…

ROFL!!! OP - have been trying to convince my hubby to get one too. He thinks they are not worth it :/ so for now like this poster ^ mine is called Mark haha

I saw that link calculator along time ago - Very inaccurate I think :( Would be great if it was not however it was 1000 calories over for me
-
Doesn't sound "too" restrictive to me however it is you who needs to be able to stick to it. The restricted items you can't have for only 4 weeks - not the rest of your life. They are reintroduced back in after...with moderation. With any diet moderation is key. I do not personally like the "no portion size" even for the…

your shoes - :) I get that with heels (the ball of my foot) your weight is not being distributed properly in the sneakers. I would try Nike or New Balance either running or cross training.

Thank you for this (not a newbie but lots of useful info)
-
LOVE my Zumba - I have the disc set however I think you can find quite a few on You tube for free. I have used mostly Zumba since April however I incorporate strength / resistance on some days. Their toning one is OK but I do not feel it is enough. I also mix in hip hop abs as well for variety here and there. I am just now…
-
Interesting topic however - to be honest..I do not think there is one out there cheap or pricey that really works :( I think all those creams (wrinkles, sun spots etc etc) are a hype. Find one that really works.. Please ..let me know! LOL
-
I understand that - the only thing I changed on the sheet was his lifting minutes. Nothing else changed. I put BMR above..sorry BMR is the same - all other numbers changed. TDEE went up but TDEG dropped. (just did it again to see exactly what the number differences were.)
-
Thank you will do :)

No one ??? ~ : (

I am 38 - started fully this journey in January. As you see in my ticker...weight loss is happening. I use the TDEE-% currently and have about 1520 - 1560 goal for calories daily. I do not eat back my work outs. I lose anywhere from .4 to 2.5 lbs per week averaging about 6/7 per month as well as some inches :) I also zig…

This ^^ and now I am sad because OMG YUM!

Pumpkin anything to me is like bacon to half the people on here LOL Thank you!!! On the grocery list :)
-
I agree with everyone on the rinse well and fry. I had them last night - I have found that I only like the macaroni ones :/ Texture is not as bad. I rinse and soak for at least half and hour (way more than you need I am sure). Then fry them for a bit with spray butter. A few minutes after they start jumping in the pan lol…
-
I chose not to eat :) Woke up starving this morning haha It doesn't happen that often so I felt ok not hitting my target. Will have to keep an eye on it to make sure it does not become a regular occurrence. Thanks!
-
With the artificial sweeteners....I get emails and posts all the time as I hardly use regular sugar for me. I have been using equal since 2002. That being said - my children however can NOT have it in anything. But it is not the actual "artificial sugar" that is the issue. it is the fact it is artificial in the first…

find a gif/pic you like right click and select properties highlight the address and place it between like this: Only make the IMG lowercase instead of caps (img) should result as such (copied from another MFP member who helped me and others with this same issue LOL) for personal pics I use photo bucket :) edit to add Thank…
-
thank you for that tip - they like celery but usually only one stalk and I wonder if that is why lol Will try that Thanks!
-
:) You guys are the best!!! Thank you a million!!! I have checked out some home made granola bar recipes. Once they go back to school I will have more time so I have those on the back burner right now. Also going to check out that book ~ she loves wraps especially the flavored ones (spinach / tomato etc) Her new favorite…
-
No it hasn't, I guess I nor her doctor ever thought of it :/ Thank you for the suggestion and no doubt something I will bring up to her doctor! I guess in my mind that is an "adult" thing. She eats exactly what we all have...more so the same thing her twin does. In fact...less than her twin most of the time and more water…
-
I just started using this one - however with previous poster eeek I thought it would be the most accurate LOL I have tried the calipers..word of advice have someone else do it and measure 3 times for accuracy. I can never do it right myself :( I also have a scale with the BF% - between calipers - navy and scale they range…
-
I wasn't going to respond to this...but I just can't help it. Let me start with the negative..continue reading for the positive. I read through your other post - the one that provoked this one. I too took the post as most others did. Regardless of how much we have to lose if any..we are ALL here for the same reason..to be…

I have 3 children - a 19 yr old and twins 8 At home - the kids eat exactly what my husband and I eat (dieting) with NO complaints. This is protein and 2 or 3 veggies / fruit for dinner. Fruits / yogurt / PB etc for snacks When we go out to eat - it is special and they get to pick what THEY want. At one of the restaurants…
-
I tried them years ago when they first came out. {{{face palm}}} The amount "additional weight loss" you get is NOT worth the side effects. I was already on a very low fat diet so I assumed these would not give me the wonderful side effects..WRONG!!!! Luckily I work from home - change of clothes at least once a day...no…
-
^^ OMG your killing me LMAO!!! But to the OP - yes you may have to just send a friend request. I generally do not request anyone and any email receives are quick question / answer or secret reply to a post. Not for daily conversation. Most people on here check in - say hey great job today - quick check of forums and off…

Eating meat and veggies will fill you faster than sugar full foods - in fact sugar filled foods will feed your cravings in turn making you eat more not to mention most sugar filled items (chocolate for one) is not filling at all. (at least not for me) Therefore of course you lost weight..you were consuming less calories.…
-
Definitely eat more - I am currently 179..eat 1500 or so and have a loss every week..even when I eat our or drink
-
It does - thank you!!!! I have moved workout around before but only when I know FOR SURE I can. Going to have to plan my lunch carefully - broccoli I eat alot of but never noticed being gassy or anything from it. Thank you all for your help - Think for my own sanity I will work out tomorrow instead and skip the broccoli at…
