Does this mean that our steps from garmin won't update to MFP ever?

Super helpful! It updated 481 aerobic calories 3x yesterday... so weird. And then in my feed it said I did 4 hours of hot yoga (when I only did one!). So I just deleted all but the hot yoga I know I did... but maybe I should have kept that one aerobic update?

This makes sense... bummer, because I was hoping to find something zero cal!

Thanks all this was helpful!

Thank you everyone! This was very helpful

Yes - same boat here! Need new motivational buddies. Pick me pick me! :laugh:

I tried one once! I was at a Bridal Show and won one, so I got one for myself and the bride I was with. We both lost over an inch from wearing it, and felt great that night. Not sure how long it stayed off, but I would definitely do one if I had a special event upcoming and wanted to fit into something small.. She's going…

Let me know how it is! I'm trying to save $$ right now so I'm on the fence about getting one, but I'm also trying to serious with loosing so....

I don't like to use whey because its genetically created, but I've found hemp protein powder to work just as well. My normal smoothie doesn't include any fruit at all because I like to have fruit as snacks and if its in the smoothie too I end up with wayyyyy too many sugar calories. My normal smoothies contain a cup of…

Thanks for this!! Yes because all of this is just speculation based on people's stored info on the internet...

YES! My biggest obstacles are wine and weekends! I feel you, its hard.

Thanks for this, Im 5'3 and 140! Same boat as you. I am wondering, do you eat back the calories you burn so the 1200 is net when you exercise? Or always stick with 1200 no matter how much you burn? Also what about sugar... I find with 2 pieces of fruit I'm over my limit already. I find that I'm almost always over my limit!…

Hi there! Always looking for more friends - everyone feel free to add me!

I'm 5'3" and my goal is 130, and to keep it off! Currently at 138, haven't really even been at 135 since high school so its definitely a challenge. I was at about 145 and now at 138 people say I look so small and great, but I still feel very jiggly in some parts and want to have smaller thighs and a flatter belly. With…

Hi, I'm 5'3" and currently 138. Weight is coming off slow and I'm keeping under my calorie intake and exercising... ughhh. Feel free to add me for inspiration, I'm always trying to connect to meet new people so we can motivate each other!

Thank you for the good advice!!

Thank you! I go over in my protein all the time... and sugar for that matter. My sugar is mostly from fruit, but I'm wondering if these issues play a big role

Ooh, do you have a recipe for making your own hummus? Always have been curious to try!

Thank you!! Yes it was a nice treat. Question - what do you mean, "marcos"?

I buy tempeh from trader joe's. It comes in a strip and as soon as I get it I cut into into 4th's and put in the fridge. One 4th is maybe a 120 cal's or so? Can't remember off-hand but its in the database, and is fully of healthy carbs & protein!

Diet soda's are some of the number one cancer causing foods out there - I would really try to cut them out if for nothing else but that. Good luck!

Yes! I do overnight oats too and they are delicious - here's the recipe I've been following and the calories are in the database.... PM Ingredients: 1/3 cup regular oats 1 cup almond milk, and more if needed 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds 1 ripe banana, peeled and smashed 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Directions: Mix…

I'm with you on this! Another good option are chia seeds. I make a great breakfast called overnight oats (real easy to make and delicious!), and whenever I do I find I have a movement that day - recipe below. I was also told by my Doc that MiraLax is a safe stool softener laxative that is safe to take that won't cause you…

Thanks I did love it!!!! I'm going to make this a habit.

Interesting all of these comments because I only eat two pieces of fruit each day and seem to ALWAYS go over my sugar levels! I was honestly curious about the banana too.... do you all count the fruit-sugar in your sugar totals??

Ok, thanks to you all I did it again today - that means first time two days in a row. You are all right, I didn't need to skip and do every other! Feel free to add me love the encouragement and will share the same :)

Also - how are you tracking it? Do you just use "circuit training" or ??

Hi! I'm doing it too, but I only do it every other day its super hard for me!! What a great workout for only 30 mins, I am on round two (and like I said I only do it every other day) and can definitely see the results in my tummy and arms. In fact my friends said they could tell I looked more toned. Last week I did ripped…

Makes sense - thanks guys!

Yes! Me too, feel free to add me as well!
