I am thoroughly enjoying all of these pages of gifs, thank you. :P

Today is a hungry day for me. What did I do? I changed my goals from losing 1 pound a week to losing 1/2 pound a week. More calories :D

:-O

I have not heard of the perfect portions scale, but I looked it up online just now. It seems like it is a scale and a food diary in one? I'm fine with my scale, since I just input the grams of food I ate, and MFP does the rest.

I've hiked Mt. Washington several times too, I love it up there! In fact, I used to work at the weather observatory as an intern.

Amazing :)

I don't know what the best or cheapest is, but the one I got had good ratings and it looks sexy. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E7AZQA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I have been wondering about chicken. Should I measure raw chicken on the scale or cooked chicken? Which MFP chicken listing do you use when its skinless/boneless breast? There are so many...

Hehe, yeah I know I wish I could forget this too. I guess I could have gone on living in bliss using my measuring cups, but deep down inside I knew it wasn't right. :P

This is what I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E7AZQA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I did!! The cup itself weighs 29 grams.

I did zero the scale. So this is only the weight of the actual cereal! (The measuring cup by itself is 29 grams)

Wow good for you for thinking ahead and keeping health in mind! Don't let your friends pressure you into all the foods they are eating ;)

Hmm, maybe I will change goals if I hit a plateau

The 1.5 has been working okay for me. I usually don't lose 1.5 though, more like .8 most of the time. So maybe if I change to 1/week I won't lose much of anything! I was considering 1/week because I don't want a bounce back during maintenance. But maybe I should get closer first... hmmm

Thanks! Anybody else have thoughts?

But, but you have 40 friends!

The feeling in your chest will change. I used to feel it early on too (like whenever my heart rate got above 165, going pretty slow). Now my heart rate doesn't get about 165 unless I am really pushing hard. The bathroom thing, I can understand, because running "loosens things up" for some people, which most consider to be…

Not sure what I was going to ask really. Just wanted to know if there was anything specific that would help me track how I'm doing in my weight loss goals. Maybe blood pressure? Triglycerides?

Interesting. I'd like to know what people think too. I am afraid this will happen to me soon and want to be prepared! :P

1. Not afraid of snakes or bugs 2. Have had the same tiny tube of foundation makeup for 4 years 3. Have only been to the hairdresser about 4 times in my life (I cut my own hair) 4. I love video games! 5. Thinking about boobs makes me :) 6. My closet is pretty empty, I struggle to find appropriate clothes for work or "going…

I could look at this thread all day, but I must bump for later use.

Hi Jessica, thanks for joining, you will like it here. I started at 172 pounds a couple months ago on here, and I am also hoping to get to 140 (I am 5' 5.5"). Losing 30 pounds is daunting to me too, and I always seem to get stuck too, but here is hoping you and me both can get there.

I wouldn't want to have only eaten 900 and exercised off 200, because that means you have only netted 700 calories. I'd eat up if I were you, but then again I take every chance I can get to put calories in me :P

Yes, yes, yes!! Love you all.

A lot of people on MFP don't understand the gross vs. net calories. I have tried to explain it but haven't been very successful conveying what I understand. I always subtract 100 calories per hour from what my HRM says I burned to account for this.

Awesome results! Not just in your body but you can also see it in your face. What did you do to lose it?
