Eh, I get really sluggish with a big breakfast and as a workday meal it gets me from about 7am to my morning snack at 10, which is all I really need--I prefer to save my cals for dinner if possible. About 4 inches in diameter but pretty thin. Different strokes. :) Someone who needs more morning calories could certainly…

I premake a batch of protein pancakes on the weekend and freeze them, then pull out a serving to thaw the night before and reheat at work. The last batch I made had about 21 pancakes (1/4 cup batter per pancake) and each pancake was around 45 calories. I typically eat 3 for breakfast and they have 2g fat, 11g carbs, and…

Search for Cybex in the exercise list--it's the arc machine's brand name. I know I have friends who use that entry.

Unless you have really tiny arms, go for the Large. I got the small because I measured where I wore my Flex (right above or below my wrist bone) but they recommend you wear the HR further up your arm (in the direction of your elbow) for a better reading, so the bigger band is helpful. There's a peg on the little loop that…

Pretty sure that's the Hacker's Diet website. Good stuff! Weightgrapher is sort of similar.

It's only my first "normal" day with the Charge HR but it seems to be giving me more steps than my Flex did (both set to Dominant hand). Not sure if that means it's over-counting or if the Flex was under. I figure I'll use it as an impetus to be hyper-vigilant about logging/calorie counting for the next 4 weeks and assess…

Keep an eye on the various store websites that normally carry Fitbits (Target, Best Buy, REI, Dick's) - I snagged a Charge HR from Best Buy on the 29th, had it shipped to store, and picked it up on the 31st!

I have a full-time desk job but still manage to get about 6-7k steps daily while I'm at work. I take the "long way" to and from the bathroom (and I drink a lot of water, so lots of bathroom trips!), and after I'm done eating I spend my lunch break walking briskly around the atrium area of our building. It was a little…

I've added coffee crystals and also cinnamon, which have both been pretty tasty.

For anyone who missed the President's Day sale, GNC is doing 2 boxes for $48 and you can take an extra 25% off ($12) with the code THKSPRG. :)

Does anyone have any links to guides/videos on using one? We inherited one from the previous owners of our house and I've been curious but I don't want the thing to fall over with me on it or anything.

I lost about ten pounds a month using just MFP and their suggested 1000 calorie a day deficit (I usually came very close to my goal and very rarely over) from Feb-Aug 2013. In February I weighed about 285. At the end of August I got a Fitbit so it's been a little different tracking since then but I'm still losing about 8…

Is this still working? It's telling me it's not a valid code when I try to enter it. EDIT: Tried using Incognito Mode in Chrome and then it worked. FYI if anyone else has the same problem.

Adding myself to the list. I eat plenty of junk but try to at least make a minimal effort at macros (40/30/30 C/F/P). So far so delicious!

Check out oral allergy syndrome. If that's what's causing your reaction, it has more to do with another allergen that's getting mixed up with the fruit/veggie.

For what it's worth, it might not be specifically the bananas--it might be Oral Allergy Syndrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_allergy_syndrome Basically, you might be reacting to pollen that gets mixed up with the fruit when it's growing. I always thought I was allergic to bananas because the inside of my mouth would…
