I got sneakers/walking shoes to walk in, personally.

It's natural to want to jump in feet first, figuratively speaking, and be all gung-ho in the beginning. Fortunately, that is not necessary at ALL! As others have said, work on your food primarily. Food scale and accurate logging are going to be the things that will help you get the weight off. I would stop Zumba for now…

I was on my phone earlier, and just put a quick response. Back on the computer, so I can add more detail to what I meant~ Burger and fries, especially home cooked, is really easy to fit in my calories for the day. I don't have to do anything special for that. I do bake the fries instead of dropping them in oil and that…

This is me, as well. I removed sugar from my display and showed fiber, instead.

No more front butt? Isn't that exciting!! Congrats! (NO offense intended!!!)

You can work your calories to fit pizza and burgers in without wrecking anything. I eat that almost weekly.

Happy to have had a few NSVs over the last week or so...* Fit into a pair of 14 jeans that I was sure would be another month before I could wear them. (down from an 18) * Bought a bike and have actually ridden it each day since. (even if my legs are jello after only 10 mins, I'll get there) * Took my son to iHop this…

"Measuring, logging" - how are you measuring? Food scale or cups?

This.

My main reason is the lack of bike lanes in my area. The roads around me don't have shoulders to ride or walk in either. I have started riding but just down to a large parking lot that I can ride around in.

I don't know, but I'm looking forward to it!

The only macros I pay attention to are protein and fat. Not to limit them, but to try and meet the minimum. The only thing I try to avoid is trans fat.

She said she is 137kg, her BMI likely is @2100.

I don't always track all of my veggies. It depends. If I add lettuce and pickles to a sandwich, sometimes I log, sometimes not. Same for cucumbers, celery, and other super low-cal veggies in a small quantity. I know, from having logged every single bite, which ones I can afford to ignore and how much of them. I'm also in a…

The best for losing belt fat is the table push. (As in pushing away from the table) you can't spot reduce fat.

Why would you be eating a protein bar instead of actual food? Dr prescribed?

PS you aren't going to build much muscle in a deficit.

You can change the percentages on the macros, but you don't need to limit carbs to lose weight.

egg white omelets or cereal are my go-to's for breakfast, when I eat breakfast which isn't every day Lunch is usually a sandwich on whole grain bread with turkey or a big salad with turkey Dinner is whatever I want.. today, that was popcorn and Mike & Ike's at the movies Snacks are often apples, with or without peanut…

Projected weight loss should be removed from the app. It's misleading on a good day and outright wrong on all the others.

I'm eating more! More veggies. More home cooked food instead of fast food. More baked food instead of fried food. More carrots, celery, cucumbers or broccoli instead of chips. More appropriate portions. More 'real' food and fewer sweets. I'm still having all of those 'instead of' things, but not nearly as often or in as…

I use full fat on most things, but I do get light ranch because I'd rather use more dressing without blowing out my calories.

I would consider the diet chef thing a lesson learned, buy a food scale, enter stats in MFP and eat food. :) By the way, McDonald's is fine as long as it fits in your calories and doesn't leave you starving later for having used them all up.

Excellent point!! I don't do tater tots often and hadn't gone to look at the calorie content for comparison. Thank you for pointing this out. Per gram/serving, the potato ones are 30c higher, but that's not enough to justify substituting them, in my mind.

With only 30lbs to lose, you should have a lower rate of loss. A half pound per week would be more appropriate and would allow you more calories, making it easier to stay on track. For myself, I pre-log as much as possible, especially when it's food that I know is likely to have a lot of calories. Then I can decide if it's…

Ball gag? For a more serious response, just took a quick look in your food diary. I'd stop buying muffins, to start. Second, you have a very low calorie goal. What are your stats? Age, weight, height, activity level? If you don't have 70+lbs to lose and have your loss set at 2lbs per week, you should drop that to .5-1lb…

I use the "search database" and, with your example, would type in "cabbage usda grams".

I've got the Vivosmart HR and loving it.
