I could do that, but I know that eating a very small portion will be harder on me. It's more about having some freedom and not feeling like I have to make sacrifices all the time.

This is exactly what is happening with me.

I know I can just eat what my fitbit tells me, but I don't like it when the MFP app tells me in red numbers that I've eaten too much.

Something weird is going on with me too. I have my MFP on light activity level, so most days I get more calories burned on fitbit. I have a deficit of 1000 calories on both MFP and fitbit. It's almost midnight here and MFP tells me I have 214 calories left to eat. But my fitbit app tells me I can eat 510 calories based on…

Hi. I'm norwegian also. You can add me as a friend if you want to. :)

I've had the flu the last week and I haven't really logged all my food. But I know I haven't eaten a lot and I've lost weight. I had a really sore throat and that has made it hard to eat. But I have been eating a few things I normally wouldn't and I haven't worried about balancing my nutrients too much.

The two first days were the hardest for me, my body was very sore afterwards. But now the workouts feels easier. But that might change when I try workout 3 and 4 for phase 1.

I started on week 2 today!

I've started the program today, but I'm not planning on following her diet. I'm going to do the workouts and eat what MFP and fitbit tells me to. But since I only have a deficit of 500 calories I'll try not to eat back all my exercise calories.

LItt dårligere sommer enn jeg hadde planer om og jeg gikk litt tilbake til dårlige vaner. Men nå er ferien over og jeg er i gang igjen. Nå er jeg under den vekten jeg var i begynnelsen av juli og planen er å miste endel kilo i løpet av høsten og vinteren. Kanskje til og med kunne passe i konfirmasjonsbunaden min i mai? Det…

I'm not for starving yourself during pregnancy, but if you are obese it can sometimes be good to try to not gain weight during the pregnancy if your doctor thinks it's all right. In my last pregnancy I had pregnancy diabetes and by eating right I got very good results and didn't need to use insulin. I gained maybe 2 lbs…

I bought a bag recently to try out in a cold oatmeal recipe. It tasted good and I will make it again.

At the moment my goal weight is a few pounds under what I will weigh when I reach normal BMI. I think I will be content if I can get down to normal BMI, but I won't know before I'm there. And I'm free to change my goal at any point. I don't think I'll ever again be at the weight I was in my early twenties when I had a BMI…

No, I don't think I would. But I can see a reason to take rent money from the parents, at least here in Norway. When your parents die and you're going to inherit them you will have to pay taxes. But while your parents are alive they can give you some money tax free every year in advance. And if you rent out parts of the…

Here in Norway most women breastfeed their babies, so it's normal to breastfeed in public. I've done it with all my kids and I don't want to stay at home the whole time. But I used nursing tops and I'm discreet, so you wouldn't see more of my boobs than at woman with a low cut top. Some malls have nursing rooms, and they…

Jeg har ikke opplevd at noen av oppskriftene mine har blitt borte. Jeg har lagt inn endel oppskrifter jeg bruker jevnlig, blant annet brødoppskriften min.

Jeg har blitt stor tilhenger av å telle kalorier. Jeg gikk jo ned endel ved å kutte ut endel åpenbare kalorikilder og spise sunnere, men det å faktisk vite hva det jeg spiser inneholder har gitt meg en god del aha-opplevelser. Er ganske mye som er sunt men som ikke fungerer i store mengder dersom man ønsker å gå ned i…

Jeg er akkurat kommet hjem fra ferie. Ble litt mye som ble spist og lite logging, men det ser ikke ut som om det har gjort så stor skade. Ikke noe jeg ikke kan leve med iallefall. Men er litt skummelt hvor lett det er å bli hekta på sukker igjen. Ser at det nok kommer til å bli en jobb å faktisk holde vekten når jeg har…

I'm 5'3 and 135 is my goal weight. That's the weight I was before I got my kids and I wasn't underweight or too skinny at all. A few years before that I was 108 lbs and at that time I was just over normal BMI. So you could still loose weight and not be underweight.

Maybe a mini exercise bike to put under your desk?

I went cold turkey for a while, but now I eat chocolate again in moderation. I also have chocolate protein bars that I can have after a work out. I keep it within my calories and try to buy small chocolate bars instead of large ones or mulitpacks.

Well, I haven't been the person trying all the quick fixes and fad diets. Just because I knew rationally that they wouldn't work in the long run. But a lifestyle change is a very daunting task. I've tried a few times to change my whole lifestyle at once and I've failed a few weeks later when it becomes to much work and…

Hi! I'm from Norway! A lot of foods are added in the database, if you have the app you can just scan them. I ocasionally add foods I can't find in the database, but most of the products I buy are there already.

I'm down 23 pounds and lately I've noticed my tummy is a lot smaller. I felt I looked pregnant when I was at my max weight and even got asked when my due date was one time. I think it's a combination of loosing fat and that my food choices makes me less bloated. I also see that my clothes are getting bigger on me. My pants…

It's not like it's a secret or anything and I've told some of my friends. But I don't really feel like the changes are so big that I need to make a big announcement. I eat more healthy food, but most is prepared at home. If we're at a party I try to prepare by exercising so I have some extra calories and I eat smaller…

I don't always eat all of them, but I eat some and if I'm hungry or want a treat I can eat them all. I'm not one of the people that love working out, so for me it's a motivator.

I get extra calories from fitbit from just everyday activities. I've changed my activity level up to lightly activ and I still get a few extra even when I have a rest day. On MFP I have a daily deficit of 500, so not a very high one. So now I'm trying to either eat my extra calories on the days I'm hungry or leave up to…

I make myself a latte at home probably 4-5 times a week. I use 1,2% milk, because I have to use lactose free milk and that's the only type the shops here carry. I may put in a little bit of sugar too. It's maybe 70-80 calories, it depends how much milk and sugar i put in it. Other than that I don't drink much coffee and…

We sometimes make fruit salads, my kids love helping to make them. We serve it with vanilla quark. And I make chocolate covered frozen bananas and smoothie popsicles for them. I don't really have desserts that often. But I'm looking forward to my daughters birthday next month, cause I'm going to get to bake cakes and eat…
