Mom of a 4 & 5 year old, today is 550 days on MFP so feel free to add me!

I have had that problem: 1) make sure there isn't an update for the app 2) make sure your phone is on the most recent version - this fixed my problem 3) reset your fitbit Hope this helps.

You can add me. I am a mother of a 4 & 5 year old.

Typically a meal prep for me would be: 4 salmon filets baked 4 chicken breast baked Steamed broccoli & Brussels sprouts 6 boiled eggs Quinoa 6 oatmeal measured out Raw veggies cut and prepped I also keep quick cook oats and quest bars on hand in my desk.

^^ This. When I first started running I got headaches all the time. Once I started on making sure I was keeping my electrolytes up it got better and they went away.

That is a great idea! Will start adding to my logging journal.

Agreed! Despite the fact that we are surrounded by snow and getting another 30 cm's over night I truly do believe summer is coming and this year I am going to rock it!

Have you had your thyroid checked? Also, I workout or run 4-5 days a week and eat 1600-1700 calories a day.

Tricuits with sliced cheddar cheese.....a lot of them.

My 300th day logging will be tomorrow. 31 pounds down and more confidence gained then I can mention.

I just did my BMI by your site and it was 25.3, I then did the BMI on a regular site and it was still 25.3.

I agree. It is not about the calories for me either. It the point that I am snacking when I am not hungry and it is not always healthy. MFP is not just about calories in calories out for me, I am trying to adopt an overall healthy lifestyle that does not include processed foods. I like your idea but since I am only up 10…

Every Sunday I food prep. I bake salmon and chicken breast portion. Steam brocolli and green beans. Make couscous and brown rice and then I make 5 lunches up in containers. The rest are for suppers along with salad greens I keep in the fridge. I boil 4-5 eggs and put in fridge. I portion out oatmeal and unsalted nuts as…

It was way too early to click on that link.

sorry. Not.

Want this on my profile thread.

Love the top! edit: got bumped and now the six pack

I would prefer a slice or two of real pizza. And as mentioned above, I make my own dough and with toppings can have 3 slices of my homemade pizza.

Thanks for sharing this site!

I try to eat clean 95% of the time. My trainer who has provided me with meal plans has suggested to me to incorporate one cheat meal (not day) meal into my week. So every Friday or Saturday night treat myself. It has kept me sane. Now that being said, this past week I have been in the "I want to eat nothing but junk food"…

Definitley will keep that in mind. I was looking at all the exercises and picked out a couple that I can do without the aid of a mirror to check my form. Don't have one in my little at home gym.

This is a great site!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I have been eyeing getting a bar.

This is good to know.

Thank you to everyone for all the information! So helpful. I think I will give the TDEE method a try and disconnect my fit bit from MFP for a while. I will start tomorrow and see if it shakes things up.

So that is why the online calculators ask acitivity level. Makes sense now.

I work it out on a few different online calculators. Is there one that you would suggest? It would be much appreciated. And I wasn't done with my information gathering, I am very grateful all helpful people of MFP, that is what has gotten me this far.

So if I am basing my calories on my TDEE should I take into consideration the calories I burn exercising? I walk 10,000 steps a day, run 3-4 days a week for 30 mins minimum and lift weights for 45 minutes 3 times a week. I use a fit bit that I currently have tied into MFP. I know that the calories burned are not 100%…
