  • I got a Fitbit Flex for Christmas and have linked it to MFP. I really like the auto tracking of exercise throughout my day. When I work really hard it seems to document it accurately and it adds calories needed to my daily consumption allotment. In fact this week I recorded 5 dots on my activity level and I was really…

  • Part of the group since early 2013 and have lost almost 50lbs. In and out of maintenance level now. Will continue with MFP but I'm not able to log in every month because of vacation trips.

  • This is something I have been waiting for. I have been struggling to finish the last 10 pounds and it seems like FOREVER in loosing weight. Instead of loosing a pound a week I am now loosing .6 pounds every two weeks. This exercise period of 30 min everyday should take my mind off of watching the scale and instead watching…

  • Wheat toast is good, butter is good, egg is good - although I throw away the yoke, and a latte is great! I wouldn't worry about it if it fills you up and keeps you going. If you feel you have to fight back hunger at lunch you might want to add more protein (egg whites).

  • That is a really good question! I noticed a difference when I had to buy a new belt because my old belt did not have enough holes in it.:drinker: This last weekend I was at a gathering with people I hadn't seen in a long time and everyone was "amazed" at how good and healthy I looked. Someone even took a picture and sent…

  • Don't waste your time on people who can't be supportive - especially when you are trying to do something difficult. Lots of people can tear down but few build up. Keep company with those that can support you and you can support them. Life is much more pleasant when you do!

  • Know your body and your emotions. Some people can go without eating in the morning and some cannot - but the important thing is that you don't stress over your choices. That just sets you up for failure. Meet your goals for each day and exercise in some way that is enjoyable. You will be able to make it a life change and…
    in Should I skip breakfast?? Comment by dcnpaul December 2013
  • One thing that I have discovered is that when I stay away from sugars and carbohydrates in the morning, I last much longer in not being hungry throughout the day. Then in the middle of the day I have, to the best of my ability, a balanced meal for lunch. Good luck in maintaining all your results!

  • This kind of news from our doctor can and should be a wake up call. I didn't listen to my doctor and ended up having a heart attack and then heart surgery. But it is never too late! Best thing to do is take your doctor's advice and begin - calmly - to reduce your cholesterol. At first you will need the meds then through…
