Hmmm I havent seen this brand in Canada (Qc). Bur we do have Sunmaid.. ill check the labels again next time im in the store, and see what I can find!

@GingerbreadCandy‌ :) I was just thinking of the "switch it up" approach to help get weight loss back on track. I won't eliminate bread, I love it too much - but I thought maybe people who have been at this longer than I have would have some tricks that may help me get over the hump. I really think part of the issue is the…

@katherine_startrek_fan‌ I always bring left overs for lunches at work. If I eat out, it is usually one supper a week near the weekend with the kids. I am not having an issue with being hungry. I am under my calories for the most part (or slightly over but as my goal is set high at 1lb a week it should be fine). Just…

Thanks all. I do weigh all solids, and liquids when I log. You can all access my diary it is public. I think I will cut out the eating out for a couple of weeks and see where it gets me, but really, I am always under my goals for the day (except 1 day last week I was 20something calories OVER) BUT I have my goal set to…

At our office, people leave food they have ordered, and may have extra of in the kitchen with a note for others to take it. You can do the same thing, and someone else will surely eat it.

I gain anywhere from 3-8lbs before and during. It starts to go down during/after. I really never know my actual weight until just after my TOM is done...

1- are you WEIGHING your food with a food scale? Anything that is NOT a liquid should be weighed. Liquids you can measure. NEVER just take the values off the package of food. Use that information to compare to your entry on the diary, but you have to know the weight of what you ate. - for example, a serving a chips is 14…

Not for anything, but I have a fitbit and one of the problems some people have is it logs time driving as steps. we are TOLD to log DRIVING as an exercise so that fitbit will remove the extra steps... so some of the people logging Driving, may be doing it for the same reason... although I don't think there should be…

yeah me too https://www.fitbit.com/user/33QHQB if you want to add.

no I don't believe you can, unless you saved it as a recipe or under :my meals: so you could pick it as a lunch option.

yes, if it is showing -323 where it says fitbit adjustment, then you are getting NEGATIVE calories adjusted. Meaning you did NOT burn as many calories as fitbit says you normally would. so you LOSE those calories...

I dont actually SEE the steps on MFP (on my exercise log) but I do get the calorie adjustments. I assume this is normal. It is always how it has worked since I linked them just after Xmas. I also allowed the negative adjustment when I don't actually burn what was supposed to be burned. I don't usually eat back calories…

Midwesterner that is good to know,. I got my fitbit at Xmas, and will be starting at the gym Wednesday. I wasn't sure if I would need to log the treadmill or not with the fitbit... but I guess I do!

I too received my flex for Xmas. Please do add me if you want some friends!! https://www.fitbit.com/user/33QHQB

Has the Punishment been posted yet?

Week 7 Beginner Michonne Cardio:125/125 Strength: 70/70 Calories: Yes Character challenge: Yes Thanksgiving challenge: no. Punishment: Yes

I have lost 16 pounds total - without ANY exercise while working a desk job. - you have to WEIGH everything with a scale that goes into your mouth. do NOT rely on the serving size listed on foods, 9 times out of 10 they aren't accurate. (the calories in the weight is, but the serving of 1 piece isnt what they say it should…

hmmmmm, squat challenges are more my speed. I think I may try this...

You need to wait more than a week to get any dependable results. Continue on the 1400 for at least another 2-3 weeks THEN see where you are.

just posted my scoreboard. Also have70 minutes CARDIO over. If you need it, take it - also mentioned I will give to any Begginner member needing it on the scoreboard forum. - GO TEAM!

If you are going to a buffet, honestly, you are best to just enjoy it, not log it and move on. If you have had a large enough deficit throughout the week as you say, then you may just eat it up at this meal. I had a buffet meal a couple weeks ago. There was an entry for 2.5 plates that I used to enter something on my diary…

if you don't start weighing your solids with a scale, and measuring your liquids, then chances are you won't really be where you want to be. if you don't know how much you are eating, you can't figure out where to fix problem areas. As for things like manwiches etc.. use the recipe builder to add things you make at home.…

I have a feeling both Beth AND Carol are going to die during the rescue attempt. Either that, or while being rescued, Beth will die doing something that saves Carol....

Let me get this straight.. for the calorie deficit, if I am under for the TOTAL of the week (but went over one 1 day) - it would still count as being within my calories? Sorry, I just automatically logged that I didn't make this goal in previous weeks because 1 day was over by 30 calories - but the rest of the week was…

No, if you are already set at 0.5lbs a week don't drop your calories anymore. I know the last 10-15lbs are the hardest (im working on the same now...) so if you are sure about your logging etc.. other than there being much less room for error you may just need to be patient...

time of day (or night) has no bearing on weight loss whatsoever. As long as those evening snacks are within your daily allowance, you're fine.

Ok, well first of all pick 1 method. Either the TDEE or the MFP defaults. if you choose the TDEE method, then enter the information you get from that site into the MFP site. Then you have to eat within those limits. If you are hungry enough you go over all the time, they you have to rethink what you are eating. Foods with…

- Did you recalculate your calories per day? You should update your information after each 10-15 pounds. - You cannot spot reduce. You will lose fat overall, but you cannot target your belly. Yes doing the exercise will tone the muscle there, but it won't show until you have lost the fat over it - which will happen when it…

You dont starve yourself. you need to eat the way you can maintain long term. * Get yourself a FOOD scale. use it for EVERYTHING. dont go by the serving size on the back of packages, weigh it all. * measure your liquids (or you can weigh them too - whichever you prefer) * Log every single item that crosses your lips. If…
