Sliced apples with peanut butter - Jif has to go cups of PB. I like to cut up a bunch of fresh fruit (pineapple, kiwis, strawberries) and wash blueberries and raspberries and keep them in containers in my fridge. Mini babybel cheeses or cheese sticks Sliced turkey with cream cheese rolled up Banana sliced up with chocolate…

Yes, negative adjustments happen so that you don't eat more than you move depending on your activity level. Mine's set at Active because of my job and I usually see several hundred positive calories added. But on my days off, I don't normally hit my step goal so Fitbit recognizes that I'm not as active and removes calories…

@Christine_72 "supposedly" I can lose 1 lb a week at 2130 calories....I had it set to -1.5 a week and I wasn't losing. So I'm going to give it a couple weeks. Like today, my calorie burn goal on my Fitbit is 2567 calories and I hit that before I left work. When I came home, I went for a 2.5 mile run and my calories burned…

So I have upped my calories to 2130 in MFP so that it's a -1 lb a week loss. Makes me nervous to eat more now.
-
Huh I didn't think I'd ever need to eat over 2000 calories. Oh yay! I have been tracking most probably 90% of my food by the gram with my food scale, given the few days here and there where the restaurant we go to doesn't have count and then I overestimate to be sure. I will have to get on my computer and see the intake…

Okay so I reread the FAQ sticky part 2..... If I'm reading this correctly, I can leave MFP at Active to have smaller adjustments (I like to know a ballpark figure for my dinner eating goal). And secondly, I'm not eating enough to lose weight? I hardly ever meet the Fitbit eating goal of -750. Almost always under it.

Hmm now that I think about it I had a gall bladder attack shortly after I lost almost 12 pounds in maybe 4 weeks. I was away from home and was rather home sick....I've always contributed it to the burger and fries I ate for lunch almost every day at work. I have no idea how many calories I was eating because I wasn't…

Whenever I am at a place where they don't have calorie counts listed/available online, I overestimate what I had just to be on the safe side (usually it makes my deficit bigger). When I was in college, the food court at our student center had the WORST food possible. I would go to the convenience store and try to find a…

Back at it again too -- 57 days strong of logging! Working out a few times a week even tho my job is very active. Looking to lose another 15 pounds to get down to around 160-165 by my wedding in May. Have been hanging around 180 for two years after losing the first 15 pounds. Moved three times now and getting to a place…

Been back at the gym lifting for about a month now! Down to 178 and I'm losing on 1900 a day (only because I walk at least 8 miles every day I'm at work so it burns a lot!) Looking for more female lifting friends so add me :)
-
I am up at 4 am for work usually so I'll make some protein oatmeal. It makes about 3 servings so I can just portion some up and microwave it while my coffee is brewing. Or I'll eat a Fage greek yogurt cup (they have peach, mango, cherry, strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, etc.) and add some granola. If I have extra time,…

Lost 26 pounds so far! Logging daily :) Anyone feel free to add me!

Keep at it! We'll be your support system :) make small changes and add new things gradually!

I recently found out how to change my stride size because I was getting a lot of steps at work on days I didn't feel particularly busy. Went to the gym and tracked my strides over a set distance and then changed the setting. Now I'm getting less steps but more mileage and that's definitely effected my calorie burn. For…

For me, I gain at least 5 pounds if not more and it doesn't go away until the week after it's over. I don't even bother with weighing in during TOM cause it's just depressing to see the bloat and water retention skyrocket after losing. Like I had just gotten down to 179.6 and then TOM hit and I was at 187.4. No change in…

Can't speak to being busty at a 36B but the Victoria's Secret bras and workout pants are worth every penny. They hold up extremely well thru multiple washings and wear. Also have a lot of Old Navy workout gear and a few pair of leggings from the Walmart brand of athletic wear. More see thru than I'd like but they are like…
-
I usually wake up at 4 am for work so most days my stomach wakes me up around that time cause it's HUNGRY!!!! I literally can't go to work without eating breakfast- usually some greek yogurt with fruit and some kind of carb like a granola bar or toast. I mix it up with eggs or oatmeal but it has to have protein and fiber.…
-
I really liked the part about emotional/physical hunger....sometimes I have to reread that because I work in a bakery with extras all the time. I bring a snack like a protein bar/shake to eat before I can take my lunch which could sometimes be anywhere from 4-8 hours after I had breakfast. I won't let myself go to lunch…

Looking good! They say it takes four weeks for you to notice, eight weeks for your friends/family to notice, and twelve weeks for the world to notice so keep going!! :)

Getting married in 3 months and have about 15 pounds to go! :) Add me if you'd like

I was a cardio bunny for a long time until I found a gym that wasn't intimidating. I started out on machines working my way up in confidence before I tried the free weights. Most of them were on a different floor that only guys worked out on. I read the New Rules for Lifting for Women and Stronglifts 5X5. I watched a LOT…

5'10" here around 180-185, wanting to be around 150-160. Haven't been that small since high school. Highest was 204. Height really helps space it all out, but I wanna be fit and strong! Back at the gym last week and really cracking down on my nutrition and hydrating!! Add me :)
-
Back at it too after moving again to a new state. Just now finding a gym I like. Wedding is in May so I gotta look better in my dress!! :)
-
Getting married in May! Got my dress but could still stand to lose about 20 pounds off my 5'10" frame....just got back to lifting regularly with some cardio after moving again. Add me! :)

Too tempting to pass up...
-
You can add me....on a 62 day streak right now! At the gym 3-5x a week and I eat pretty healthy. Working to lose another 25 pounds :)

I had a Polar FT4 for over two years. I decided to upgrade to something different when the battery finally died on me. I researched the FT7 but I was tired of the chest strap. Also, I walk a lot at work so I needed something to track steps as well. Decided to get the Charge HR about two weeks ago and it's been awesome!…
