I have the flex, not sure if it would work the same or not

I actually found out about it by accident. It came off when I tossed in a bunch of laundry (right after I got it) I was just happy I hadn't killed it.

As usual I'm late to the party. #1 I almost forgot my 16th wedding anniversary last week. In my defense I know what day it is, I just didn't know the date until I got a message from my mom wishing me a happy anniversary. I rarely look at a calendar. I don't feel to guilty because hubby also forgot. #2 I do way to much…

Really? I come to the threads because I like too (doing something I like benefits me). I don't care if someone else works out, doesn't work out, sticks to their diet or not. (Which was the point of my comment). It's not my job (or my place) to judge them or question the validity of their reasons why they can't, or question…

Personally I don't have the time (or the energy) to worry about what other people do or don't do when it has no impact on me, my life, my kids or my family.

There are days when I figure I must have been someone very bad (like Hitler) in a past life

Since your getting most of your meals through your schools meal plan I would talk with the person who runs your schools cafeteria. They should have the nutritional information on the foods they serve and they should be able to tell you what the healthier options are. Also I would make an appointment with your schools…

I wish! I usually don't get to bed until 1am and asleep between 2-3am

If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck. In my world Murphy was an optimist. If it can go wrong it will go wrong and the less likely it is to happen or the crazier the outcome the more likely it will happen to me.

It's only 10:30pm here in California

I did the Depo for years with no issues (8 years to be exact) got a dose and my hormones went crazy. My OB said no more hormones for at least two years (we were done having kids) had my tubes tied and got pregnant with my son 16 months later. After he was born I did a copper IUD while waiting for hubby to get the two sperm…

Things like that either make or break the romance. My hubby does not handle a medical crisis well and freaked. The manager of the restaurant called 911. I don't remember much detail (thankfully) though I do know the had to put in a breathing tube in the ambulance. I figured we would work out when he was in the ER when I…

Yup I'm allergic to both, chocolate causes me to break out in blistering sores (though if I take enough benedryl I can cheat a little bit), however onions cause my airway to swell shut. It's so much fun being out on a first date and eating a hidden onion in your dish ( that happened on the very first date with my husband).

I should have been clearer in my comment, in that these are the only things I don't eat (for obvious reasons). Anything else I want I fit in my daily calorie goals, since I'm down 30 pounds and losing 1-2 pounds a week it's working and it's something I find sustainable. OP: totally fine that it made you laugh, it was meant…

If I knew it was my last meal and that I would die shortly after, I would eat chocolate (lots of it), and onion rings (lots of them as well). Well actually I would die if I did this since I'm allergic to both chocolate and onions.....

My guess is since the article said it sends information to an app, that people have to enter the food they are eating into the app, but that's just a guess.

If you aren't getting enough nutrients from your diet, your body will strip it from itself to use for the breast milk as opposed to it not being present in the milk. Obviously you want to meet your nutritional needs, but if you have an off day it's not going to impact your milk. With the exception of water, if your water…

My husband is Catholic and doesn't eat meat on ANY Friday. I'm not sure if it's because his family is "old school" and he's the first American born generation in his family. My father in law is from a tiny village in Portugal and my mother in law is from Rio de Janeiro.

On the recommendation of my doctor I take a multivitamin with iron , vitamin e, and fish oil (I but Natures Made). I stopped taking the calcium supplement recommended by my orthopedist when my kidney specialist told me it was the cause of my first two episodes of kidney stones. Unfortunately I still get stones but they are…

I'm confused were you recently in the hospital? Or that was last year only? I was in the hospital for kidney stones and an infection in my kidney for 3 days (could barely eat because of the medicines) however I gained 9 pounds while in the hospital (apparently from the iv fluids) it took about 18 days for me to have it all…

I miss alcohol, which is the only thing I've cut out. Not so much for weight loss, but because even one or two drinks in an evening makes my morning run difficult and kills my times.

Here's another basic example a calorie burned is s calorie burned regardless of how you burn it. 25 calories burned by walking are the same as 25 calories burned by running full speed. However your bodies reaction to walking versus running won't be the exact same, however that doesn't change the fact that 25 calories is 25…

You started out doing so well, however you lost it at the end a calorie is a calorie. Period your body reacts the exact same way to every calorie, what is different is the nutritional breakdown of the vehicle used to deliver that calorie to your body to use. A calorie is a calorie and has no nutritional value it is a…

You need to go back to science class Water has no calories red bull (depending on the MFP entry as I don't drink these has 45-110 calories per cup. However even if you get the zero calorie (if there is one version), the "energy" you feel is because of the stimulants in it, not because of the calories.

219.2 (which means I came almost halfway to my 8 pound goal for 4 weeks which honestly was probably to aggressive)

In my humble opinion: A calorie is a unit of measurement therefore it's neither bad nor good. However if you are wanting to lose weight any calorie in excess of your calorie limit is bad for your goal of weight loss. And calories below your calorie goal are good for your overall goal of weight loss. For food type…

That's awesome! My high school cross country coach had the whole team do it for breathe control (he was a Marine), my mom was a Captain in the Army and would get me the cassettes of the cadences to run to (I now have them from all the military branches). It's neat to find someone else who loves running to them, I usually…

I increased my calorie intake (by eating more of my exercise calories) after a couple of weeks of losing faster than expected. I choose to do it because my workouts were suffering, I just didn't have the ability to maintain the same intensity.

I drink coffee in the shower all the time (I even have a plastic coffee cup), but only if hubby's not showering with me, if we are sharing the shower I've got my hands to busy to hold the cup. I drink wine (again with a plastic glass) in the tub pretty much every time I have a bath. I highly recommend plastic cups and…

Growing up we had three big holidays where my moms side of the family would all get together Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Each holiday had big traditions involving food Easter always had a ham and a bunny cake my grandma would make. Since we now live 600 miles away I've kept those traditions for my kids I make a big…
