It is funny that I always had thought of myself as that "could NOT live W/O carbs" person....so not the case...it just takes time to adjust. I have backed way off on my pasta/rice/breads consumption over time. I feel much better now that I try to keep to a 40/30/30.....it's hard to do some days - but the best way to get…

I too used to find it confusing and then simply decided that I needed to try different ways and see which way worked best for me....so far I am at 1200 + - meaning I eat a base of 1200 and also eat any extra cals from w/o's etc....many refer to it as eating back my cals. I am loosing very very very slowly which can be…

Hi....we recently (June 14, 2013) moved to Flagler Beach FL....east coast just north of Ormond and Daytona....we LOVE it here....alll residential no highrises lots of non-chain restaurants and beautiful beaches and weather. We left No. VA outside of DC and our entire family (9 yo, 2 11 yo girls - 20 yo and parents) love it…

I may be late...but I am SOOOOO in......just did my 50...... not sure the knees will hold....but what the helll.....if not now then Never and that isn't even in my vocab........whoo hoo!!

Up until today - I have been logging as I eat with the exception of when we go out to eat I will "play" with different dishes that particular restaurant serve and see which one fits my needs for that day the best. After reading these responses however, I may rethink how I am doing this....I love the monthly meal plan - I…

Flex is brand new....just released first of May.....I have the Flex and I love it however there are draw backs I am learning about. The calorie burn stat is not accurate - I don't know how far NOT accurate and I have been told that the only accurate calorie burn calculation is with HRMs. I love that it tracks 24/7…

Thanks guys......I am sad that FB is so off......does anyone know if Nike Fuel Band or Jawbone UP are any more accurate? I want one I can wear day in day out 24/7 - sleep monitor, activity monitor etc.

Great question....I am looking for one myself....any ideas on a good one which doesn't involve the strap????

I love this program! I usually log via FitBit under dance or aerobics....I am not sure that it makes a difference????

WHoo HOOO!!! This will simplify my life and hopefully get everything going in one direction!!! Thanks for making my day and sharing this info! I will also try to be patient in my wait!

I can relate to your pain....I do not necessarily enjoy exercise - I do enjoy how I feel after a nice fast walk - mentally I feel better. Yes the knees still ache however overall I feel better. I am finding that my love of music and dancing help - I have music on throughout the house during the day when I am home and that…

Hi - I can totally feel your pain! I too have two herniated discs, Jan. 2012 and couldn't even walk at times. I did PT and over the past year had totally let the rest of me go - due to not being able to do much and the fear of doing anything. All I can say is PT PT PT - and once they release you - always keep in mind you…

Thanks everyone.....I won't stress about it.....I appreciate all of the input!

WOW what a lot of info........I will just add that I started using my FB Flex last week and I love it......too soon to see results yet - but I have to hope that the data (consistent using FB) from FB and the MFP data - will give me enough to work with for now. I think as long as you use the same methods and tools day in…

I have just been logging non-walking activities on FB not MFP and have not seen any doubles....I do however log ALL activities with times in FB - otherwise I don't think it will pick up the cal expenditure.

I just got FB Flex and I love it.....the only thing I wish it would track would be HR.....the thought of wearing two devices isnt great but I am loving the data from flex.....so I too am in the market for a easy to use HRM preferably without a strap......I will be watching here for input....thanks for posting the question!

The way I understand it.....MFP pulls data in from fb but fb does NOTpull food etc from MFP.....i am new to using both, so i could be way wrong here. Hope this helps....it seems sort of confusing but I am loving all of the data I am getting from both. Please friend me, I would love to keep up with your thoughts ideas etc.…

Currently Leesburg VA until June 11th then moving to Flagler Beach FLA

I so understand your wanting to "cheat"....I am fighting that feeling right now myself.....not sure what I want just want something oooeyyy gooeeeyyyy and thats so hard.....I would love to "hang in there" with you......please shoot me a friend msg! Patti

Being relatively new here....I haven't cut anything out except for ALCOHOL......we are a wine/beer/drink loving home and so far that is the only thing I have cut out....I have found that actually paying attention to what I am putting in really does add up and hopefully this will make a huge difference. I used to be able to…
