I've been doing the Every Other Day Diet since April and haven't been sick much at all. I've had what started to feel like a cold or allergy related issues a few times, but I've started taking raw local honey and cinnamon the minute I feel anything like that coming on and it really seems to be keeping it at bay. There is…

Some of these sound AMAZING... and little cleanup? Bump-da-bump-bump-bump!

Excellent idea to have a grocery list that's not only calorie conscious but also budget friendly.... Lots of great tips in this thread! Additional suggestions... Mashed cauliflower (Large one makes quite a few servings... I add almond milk, garlic and garlic seasoning - very versatile Turkey Cheddar Brats (when on sale)…

I've seen these on YouTube, but this serves as a reminder.... bump bump!

I read somewhere that Shaun is working on Delta, but to my knowledge there have been no updates. I am finishing Gamma so I was interested in Delta, but have to do something else in the interim.

I've had the BodyMedia Fit Link for a year and found it pretty reliable. Yes - definately check the MET settings... I had to adjust mine to as when I was just walking around at work it was showing as Moderate Activity. I am generally a fast walker but I wanted to be sure it only tracked when I was more active. Also, be…

You look amazing!!! Such great progress! How can you not keep going, look at you! What are you gonna do after Beta? I really like Gamma, but we may do a hybrid next. Again, congrats on your current and continued success! ~Jennifer

Hello all! I've completed Alpha and Beta and have started Gamma this week. I did it with my hubby, and because of his schedule there was one week that we had to start over during Beta. Note though we didn't just "give up" for the week - we did get some workouts in. My tips... - We start the calendar on Tuesday. Why? It…

And clearly I don't know how to spell deficit.... *sigh*

Frankly I rarely ever lost with a 750 calorie defecit... the BMF is not 100% accurate, nor is logging food. If you eat anything with a nutrition label the calories noted are allowed a variance of up to 20%. That being said if something states it is 250 calories, it could actually be 300. If you're portion size is a bit…

I love my BMF Link and can't imagine giving it up. I researched everything and it seemed to be the most accurate and able to calculate for majority of my activities... the only activity that has been off thus far is when I'm on my recumbent bike, but in that case I move it to my calf and I'm good to go. The only other…

DDs I love Fage 0% yogurt with Strawberry (trying out other flavors now)... you get a good amount of protein, carbs, and it tastes great for only 120 calories. Salads and lean meats are good, as well as protein shakes. I also drink lots of water, green/white/roobios tea, and naturally flavored seltzer.... I try to have a…

Last Diet Day I didn't "eat" until 3pm. Only had a 4 1/2 hour window to eat and I saw my biggest loss on the scale the next day. And I didn't "go crazy" on my Feast Day yesterday. Clearly waiting as long as possible before having a meal helps greatly!

Yes, I'm finding once I start eating and getting the digestive juices flowing then it's harder to not eat. Today I'm trying to go as long as I can before having food and see what happens. I think it will be more manageable. And I agree - I've been upping my protein... greek yogurt, protein bars/shakes, chicken breast,…

Sounds yummy!

From what I've seen (and I've looked at stats on quite a few bars), Quest bars give the most bang for the number of calories. I can't say I'm a huge fan... the consistency is like taffy and I've tried nuking them but not much of an improvement. Of the ones I've tried thus far though Cookies n' Cream is the best... actual…

It's true. Eating at that low of calories repeatedly sends your body into starvation mode and it will just hold on to the pounds and conserve energy wherever possible... thus your metabolism will start to dip too. You would be better off eating at least 1400 cals or even an alternate day fasting program. Also, you don't…

Hello Everyone! I've seen different information on intermitent fasting recently, and then I saw Dr. Varady's book was recently released and after reading the reviews I just had to pick it up. I am amazed at the research and the addtional health benefits, besides weightloss. I've been alternating days for roughly a week now…

I don't have one everyone night, and It's nothing high calorie - usually around 150 cals, but when I do have it I'm usually not ravenous and feel pretty good in the morning.

I have the Link and love it. Yes, occassionally there are sync issues but it usually is around when MFP or BM does updates. I love being able to see where I'm at in calorie burn, steps, etc. And I use it when I workout using an Open Workout to see how many calories I'm burning during my workout. I do this for T25, Zumba,…

I'm currently on Beta and have done it all different ways... My week starts on a Tuesday, that way I'm doing the "double day workout" on the weekend and I can relax on Sunday... Stretch is a nice way to start my Monday. I do this w/my hubby so sometimes we have to take a day off or miss our workout... this past week we…

I highly recommend the Bullet Blender... pulverizes but keeps the fiber and can be used for protein shakes, salad dressings, batters, etc. If you plan to not have caffeine, but currently do, it's best to cut down gradually to avoid headaches. Also if you have sugar now you can go through "withdrawls" during a juice…

I love ON Amino Energy Drink...I drink it before and during my workout. I do T25 workouts at home most mornings and getting up around 4:45am to workout doesn't really allow much time for eating anything prior. I find that a protein shake before bed and a good night sleep help and most days I get in a good workout.

I am currently doing T25 and really like it. From what I've seen of the P90X3 informercial it looks like (as another said) it's more focused on muscle confusion. T25 has more of a mix of cardio and muscle work. I'm not sure if there is a modifier in P90X3, but T25 has someone showing modifiied moves for every workout,…

From what I can tell there was a recent update to the MFP App, atleast for Android anyway. As of yesterday I am having the same issue... I have to go into the BMF site and unlink/relink with MFP for the cals to show on MFP. This often happens with updates, either when MFP or BMF has an update. I wish they all could work…

Sounds like you are motivated by events/activities. Perhaps book another trip? It doesn't have to be something major, like Italy, but even a long weekend somewhere can be a nice incentive. You can devise "rewards" for milestones... a new piece of clothing, new shoes, a mani/pedi, etc. Were you working out? Are you now?…

I now truly feel better when I've regularly working out and miss it when I'm not. I enjoy the feeling of being sore from a good workout and feel/see my muscles becoming more defined. Putting on a pair of pants I couldn't fit into before and actually fitting into them! Comments from others that have noticed my progress.…

Nice!:wink:

Ditto.... I wear mine all the time and have a slight indent. You stated it isn't tight... be sure you can fit a finger or 2 underneath it. Not wearing it in the exact same spot helps - just moving it a half inch higher or lower can make a difference. Also, I took mine off for about a week over the holidays and that helped…

It's not the best fashion statement, but no one really sees it unless it's really warm outside or I'm working out. I've purchased 3 or 4 straps in different colors, and I've bought 2 skins so far... the latest is a quatrafoil black and white pattern. I uploaded the pic and I really like it. I debated all the other similar…
