305 trying for that year; and then we will see.

Bump. Want to look at this closer tomorrow. Thanks for posting.

I had read somewhere that it takes 30 days to lose a craving or get rid of a bad habit. Doesn't help you get over that craving, just gives you a time line of how long you may need to fight the craving. That said, if you can control how much you eat, a piece here or there won't hurt it's the uncontrolled eating that gets…

Like so many others, I have the Polar FT4 and love it. Works well and relatively inexpensive.

Just started reading a book called Spike 84 that actually bases a diet on changing up your calories on different days to trick your metabolism. Just started reading it, so I can't say whether or not I will follow the theory; but I know I've been calorie counting with MFP for just about a year and did really well for the…

Yep must be the owners discretion I just had Subway the other day and I always get spinach not blah iceberg lettuce. It would be enough to make me not go there if I couldn't get it.

Egg bakes go well in our family. Just google egg bake and you will get many recipes. The good part is you can make it the night before and just throw it in the oven in the morning while you are opening gifts.

Congratulations on both items! A good nights sleep is fantastic, and losing 100 pounds is so awesome. You are doing great!

They are not necessarily more accurate. I can step on mine three times in a row; and get three different readings. Don't fret that the scale at the doctor's office was 2 lbs higher; several things could contribute to this. Time of day, different clothes, was one before a meal and one after. It's not enough of a difference…

There are several salmon choices in the database. How did you cook it? If you baked it pretty plain, a serving size is 4oz. .66 is 9.6 ounces more or less, so you could enter that.

Can't really help with the outside gear, but I would say layers. However, you might want to consider walking dvd's for indoors as an alternative. I have used both Leslie Sansone and Biggest Loser. I think i've picked up most of them for about $15 at Target and Walmart. With both of these all you need is a dvd player and…

I definetly like the first one best; and like others posted if you are more comfortable in it you will be more relaxed and have a better evening. Enjoy! You look great.

I have had one for a year now, and absolutely love it. I'm actually thinking up getting the new Kindle Fire; but I need to do my research first.

Great job! And before you know it, they will fit very comfortably. You are doing amazing!

Always go for the real. Anytime you go away from real you are usually adding sodium and other preservative chemicals that aren't good for you.

Congratulations! You look amazing!

Simply amazing! You should be very proud of your journey! WOW!!

I am in the middle of 8 kids; and while growing up there was always someone to do things with, money was always tight so I swore I would never have that many kids and I didn't. We had two; one of each. However, my daughter now 23, says she will have 3 or 4 kids cause she hated that there was only two of them. She likes…

You will find arguments for both sides here on MFP. I personally don't eat them back unless it's better than 400 calories. Then I will try and eat 1/2 back. Like others have said try out both and see what works for you.

LOL All I could think was ouch! I can't imaging working out without proper support. And I am a 50+ year old woman. P.S. I wouldn't have done it in my 20's either.

Hi It would really help to see your diary. Go to settings..Diary settings then check public. I agree with a few of the others though if you are doing some big calorie burn exercising, you may need more calories. Other things may be your sodium intake. If you are over on sodium, you will notice an increase in weight.

Bump. I would love to see some of the recipes.

Generally speaking you don't need to be worried about the cysts, but you do need to see your doctor. You need to determine if they are fibroid cysts; and if you have Endometriosis. Neither may be anything serious to worry about, but you need to know what you have so you can make sound decisions.

From what I understand, it's more if your vitamin D level is low in may inhibit your ability to lose weight. It still takes proper diet and exercise. Here is a link to a research study. http://www1.umn.edu/news/features/2009/UR_CONTENT_165066.html

I don't do the shots, but I take B-12 sublingual dots every day.

I'm not a runner either, but pasta is what my friends eat. Why do you think you are scared? Is it a race or a run? Do you feel like you have to come in first; or are you just in it to complete a 5K? If it's the latter; just run it the best you can and enjoy it. It doesn't matter how long it takes then. Get your rest…

bump

That's fantastic! You should be very proud!

There are tons of recipes out there. I found one by just googling my dressing type and put low sodium and recipe after it. Here is one for western dressing that I found on Yummly.com. 1/2 C reduced sodium ketchup 1/2 C vegetable oil 1/3 C sugar ( I used only 1/4 C and it was plenty sweet enough) 2 Tbsp lemon juice 1/4 Tsp…

I was that person just 6 months ago. You have taken the best first step you could have taken. You found MFP. A calorie tracker has been shown to be a more successful way to lose weight. I personally feel the support you get here has been my biggest reason for success. I'm not done yet, and yes there have been good days and…
