I definitely don't drink as often as I used to and - honestly - I feel much better. I will have a cocktail with friends, or an occasional glass of wine with dinner, but alcohol in general is so bad for my body and counter-productive to the goals I'm trying to reach. I drank plenty for years and now I'm getting healthy.…

Just make sure if you work out that you adjust the time on MFP. That will sync with your fitbit app and will adjust your calorie allotment! You don't want the steps AND calories burned during your workout to both count otherwise you will have double counted the same movements. Once I figured that out, I was golden! No…

While I agree he is not correct on a number of things, many posters are complaining that he promotes nutritional supplements that he actually doesn't. He did an entire episode {one of the few I've actually seen} talking about how companies are using his picture and name illegally to promote their products. Green coffee…

I definitely don't know enough on this subject but now want to learn more. I think for me, I find my food choice is important beyond the calories because I struggle with portion control and feeling full. If I pick up a candy bar, it might satisfy that sweet tooth or urge to indulge, but it isn't going to leave me full and…

Coconut Bliss Bars are also really delicious! 170 calories each. . . worth it!

That's super helpful to know. I just got a food scale {FINALLY} so I'm getting into the habit of weighing things instead of just guessing all of the time.

Thanks for your feedback, everybody! I really appreciate it. I appreciate the links as well, Thomas. Sounds like something that may be good for some people but probably not necessary for me. I will "let" myself have a treat every now and then if I really want it. Life should be enjoyed, right? The problem was that I…

This might seem silly to ask but if I'm weighing an orange - do I weigh it with or without the peel?

I take half an Advocare muscle fuel before my workouts and drink Spark {another Advocare product} during my workouts. I know not everybody needs/benefits from them but they really help me stay focused and motivated. I also push myself further than I would normally without the burst of energy. I enjoy it, but again, not for…

I have my daily goal set to 1200 and then it gets adjusted based on my fitbit activity level and whatever extra workout I choose to do. If I want to eat more, I work out more and earn those extra calories. It's that simple. I know what you mean and it's easy to get bogged down by the number of calories. I'll often budget…

My new favorite breakfast would work well for an evening snack -- Apple slices and Fage 0% Greek yogurt. It's delicious. You get a creamy element along with the crunch from the apples. The yogurt is 100 calories and the apple slices vary depending on type of apple and quality, It's filling too.
