There are several different types of Fitbit devices-which do you guys recommend? I work out 4-5 days a week and run several times a week

This is my first week doing this challenge!!! weekly goal : 3500 MON : 452 (jogging w/ dog, eliptical machine at YMCA) TUES : 899 (jogging with dog, eliptical machine and expresso bike at YMCA) WED : 1,075 (jogging with dog, eliptical machine at YMCA) THUR : FRI : SAT : SUN : TOTAL : 2,426 LEFT TO GO : 1,074 I can't go to…

For those of you doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred: how many calories do you say you burned doing it? I just got the dvd and am going to start ...

This will be my first week. :) Weekly Goal: 3,500 Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri:…

as i feel myself getting crazy, i immediately start thinking about food. i will think about "after i drop my daughter off to preschool i can go through the dunkin donuts drive thru and get coffee and donuts" and as i'm driving home in my car eating donuts i can only cry b/c i know it's SO STUPID that i'm doing this and yet…

thank you guys. i am just so stressed - being home all day w/ kids and dealing w/ my car and money and life in general - it's like my only outlet is food! :(

When i was 22 yrs old I was diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism. 11 yrs later - i think i've gotten used to it and can handle it. I've had 3 children in 5 yrs and between pregnancy hormones, weight gain and breastfeeding - it got really out of whack. i noticed that right after each child was born my thyroid levels went completely…

this is my first time doing it-so its new to me too! I'm also new to MFP. I try not to weigh myself more than once a week - and since i started MFP on 2/20 i have not taken new measurements. i think i will this morning though - just so i can track the difference w/ adding the 30DS to my routine.

fantastic! i'll post my starting weight tomorrow morning when i get up. this afternoon i did my first workout of the 30 day shred. it really kicked my butt!

thanks! it's kicking my butt but i'm loving it! even my daughters (ages 5.5 and 3yrs old) started doing it with me (they liked the jumping jacks!) and after a few minutes they left the living room and went back to playing! haha

as much as i'd want to do new haircut/manicure - i can't for the same reason: i have 3 small kids and there is no way i'd ever get out on my own long enough to enjoy something like that! so ... i made a wishlist on amazon.com and for every 10lbs lost i have been buying a new cookbook (my passion is cooking) so it's been…

i am counting it as 500 calories a day under cardio. whether or not that is correct, i don't know. i try to eat 500 calories of fruit, veggies and perhaps a glass of 100% juice to "make up" for breastfeeding. This is my 3rd and last baby :) we also have a 5.5yr old daughter and a 3 yr old daughter. our baby boy just turned…

i tend to eat leftovers for lunch :) i'll reinvent them though - like throw rice and beans into a burrito. leftover plain rice becomes fried rice (egg and veggies thrown in). salad into a burrito. i also have 3 kids (5yrs, 3yrs and 6 months) but it's just me and the 2 littles during the day while DD#1 is in kindergarten.…

nursing mom here too!!!! our new baby is 6 months old :)

our daughters (ages 5.5yrs and 3yrs) LOVE asparagus. i've gotten into the habit of making 2 bunches as of late b/c they keep asking for more!!! thanks for all the suggestions! sometimes i fall into such a rut and want to change it up. i usually do a stir fry with the shrimp but wanted something different to do instead.

thank you!!!!!!!!

yes-foil packet to bake in. i guess i'll wing it! i have some ginger, lemon and veggies...

ignorance is bliss!!! that's the truth! we're a vegetarian family. never eat fast food. rarely eat at restaurants. i love to cook. i thought we were eating healthy - then i started recording my meals here - OH MY GOD!!! just finished my first week here on MFP and lost 2.5lbs just on food. haven't been to the gym yet - but…

Good morning everyone! I just finished my first week here on MFP and lost 2.5lbs :) Yesterday morning i was in a car accident on my way to work (I work very part time and very early in the morning). i hit some black ice and spun out - scariest thing ever. Thank god it was just me and my kids were not in the car. Just…

maybe this is silly - but why not skip "typical breakfast foods" and just eat something that more resembles lunch? or ... maybe a smoothie? you can do all sorts of smoothies w/ fruit or veggies. I do not eat/drink any dairy myself - i like doing a smoothie w/ almond or soy milk and a banana and maybe a spoon of peanut…

SW: 179 (2/20) CW: 177 (2/25) it's my first week here at MFP and i lost 2 pounds!!!! i know it's probably water weight, but i'm still happy!

what are some of your down falls? i know when my daughters do not finish lunch i'm apt to eat what's left over on their plates, whether i'm hungry or not. ugh.

i'm getting hungry around 2pm or so --- i need some ideas for high protein, but low in calories and fat snacks!!!!

I'm up for it!!! I just joined MFP this week so it will be my first weigh in.

Room for another??? :) Technically, I'm not a SAHM. I work 20hrs a week, but so early in the morning that Im home by the time my kids get up and are eating breakfast !!! I have 2 daughters - 5.5yrs and 3 yrs old - and we now have a 5 month old baby boy. After his birth we discovered he has a heart problem. I comforted…

i'm vegetarian and overweight ---- WAY too many carbs!!!

i'm 5'8" and currently weigh 176lbs -- just joined MFP this week. i'd like to get down to the 150's :)
