I have the Charge HR (just got it last week), and I love it! I've wanted an HR monitor for a while and was so pleased to find a Fitbit with one built in. My friend said the HR has been accurate on it as well, as she also has a chest HR monitor, so that helped me feel more comfortable with relying on my Fitbit's HR for…

Thank you for telling me! That's 40-50 cals less than the whole wheat ones I have. :smile:

This thread doesn't help me at all - too many choices! Lol. I also don't have a ton of money to spend on trying out a whole bunch of different ones. Does anyone know anywhere to get, like, sample packs or something? So I can try a few and see if I like any of them?

I want in on this so badly, LOL.

I love me some Gordon Ramsay. I'm a really nice person, but for some reason, I love to watch him yell at people. Especially on Hell's Kitchen.

I love Food Network! Makes me hungry, though, so I can only even watch food TV in moderation. ;) I love watching Chopped and Iron Chef (original or America). Luurrrvvvee Alton Brown, Sunny (don't remember her last name), Michael Simon. Giada rubs me the wrong way, and I do like Paula Deen. Rachael Ray always seems mad in…

I have PCOS and I don't HAVE to take it, but my OBGYN wrote me a script for it because I asked him. I haven't taken it in a while. I was on 500 mg 2x/day. The good? I didn't have a huge appetite. The bad? Don't trust the fart - just sayin'.

Definitely a noticeable difference! AWESOME JOB! :smiley:

This x 1,000,000.

I'm so appreciative of the database, even if sometimes I have to weed through a few bad entries to find the one that works for me. If that thing didn't exist, I'd have to enter every last bit of nutrition information myself and lord knows that ain't gonna happen. But yeah, edit the entries you can. Add your own if it makes…

I'd suggest what previous posters have said: maybe increase your calorie intake a bit and try to fit in some of the foods you miss the most. If you find you are genuinely satiated, but you're mentally craving food (this happens to me a lot), maybe try to practice being more mindful? Every time you think of food in that…

Pass the link this way, please! :smile:

Holy he1l. What a transformation! You look amazing and should be SO PROUD of your accomplishments! I have a question, while you seem to feel super great, I wonder if you still have, for lack of a better term, a "fat complex"? I've read that people who have lost a ton of weight, who were used to being overweight, took a…

In no particular order: * Wanting to set a good example for my kid. * Feeling like *kitten* mentally and physically. * Being attracted to people that were not attracted to me physically. * Feeling like I was taking for granted the way my body has taken care of me - I may suffer from mental health issues, but my blood…

I appreciate why some people would want to keep it - but I don't see why everyone needs to think or feel this way. I don't see a problem with wanting to keep it, just as I don't think it should be a problem for those people that want to get rid of it.

This might be stupid, but in addition to maintaining a good healthy diet and exercise regimen, is there anything else that can help? Making sure skin is moisturized? Is there a vitamin supplement that can help, too? I heard someone say they used exfoliating gloves once? I've been researching this and am wondering. Any…

Heya! I'm 29 years-old, 5' 10", and weigh about ~350. My goal is 160 because my 'ideal weight range' is about 160-180, so I figure if I hit 160 and fluctuate a bit, I'll still be within that 20 lb range. I'm a single mom of one boy, have PCOS, bipolar disorder (type II), and general anxiety disorder. I've always been my…

I love English Breakfast tea. The only looseleaf tea I have was a gift. It's from Teavana and it's been really delicious. I got an English Breakfast one, and then another completely random one that was super yummy (but it had sugar in it, so not sure how terribly healthy it is). I believe Whole Foods sells loose leaf tea -…

Might be a good idea then to establish a bedtime routine so that no matter what time you're going to bed, it will help to start sending those messages from habit that, "Hey brain/body, it's time to go to sleep now."
-
I've used Unisom to help me sleep before. There are a number of new sleep aids like Z-Quil and Emergen-Zz. Maybe mix them up so you're not using one of them too much, if you're worried about that. I saw another posted mention Melatonin, that might help, too. I also have anxiety and am lucky that I have a benzo I can take…

I NEVER thought of it this way. Holy f&#k. TRUTH. You've given me an epiphany! Thank you!

There have been a lot of successes with low carb 'diets', etc., but really you just need to find what works for you. I've had a lot of success using South Beach Diet principles (I conceived my son in 2009 after losing 15 lb on the first two-week phase), but I don't abide by their rules as law. If you eat carbohydrates, try…

This. Lawd. If someone looked at me and told me I could overcome my bipolar and anxiety disorders with willpower I might be liable to punch them in the teeth. OP, seek professional help.

Talk to your doctor. That being said, I'll tell you my experience. I weighed about 323 lb when I found out I was pregnant (it was a surprise). The first OB I saw told me she wanted me to lose 20 lb. When I posted that on a mommy forum people flipped the f*#k out - understandably, because who's ever heard of a doctor…

I love this DVD. $10 for a 25 minute workout that kicks your a$s? Um, okay! Plus, I do like JM. That being said, I tried it at 313 lb (a while ago when I was a little smaller than I am now). Within 5-7 days I had lost 5 lb and 2" off everywhere on my body. That being said, obviously I'm very, very big, so results may vary…

Your BMR is the amount of calories you would need to consume in order to maintain your current weight if you were to be lying in bed all day doing nothing. Let's say your BMR is 2500 calories per day. That means if you eat 2500 calories per day you (ideally) wouldn't gain or lose weight (if you were just lying in bed all…

I've never been skinny either. I puffed up starting about the third grade and have continued on ever since. I wonder if that's been part of the reason why I've had difficulty sticking to something ... I don't know what skinny's like. I've been fat my whole life so I'm just used to it. Oh well, I'm giving it a shot anyway.…
-
Awesome! Glad you made it through. :)
-
Thanks guys for the support. It was rough. It's just the craving to eat ... it's so hardcore. I've had the problem before but I'd been giving in a lot lately. I just wish I knew why it popped up so randomly and then so intense!

This sounds/looks amazing!
