Whoa. What brand was it and what brand are you getting? My scale is super old now and doesn't even turn on sometimes. Might pick up a new one today ... :worried:

Yes, its IF at 23:1. It fits well in my schedule and it seems to be the perfect fit for me as it's not been difficult to maintain at all. Hoping it stays that way. Thanks for letting me join. :smiley:

Looking forward to seeing what i can lose in July. I use an exercise bike daily for 30-60 mins and swim a few days a week at least (weathers been bad so I havnt…

Thanks guys. That makes me feel better. I won't worry about the steps then. I think i'll take tillerstouch's advice and aim to get 30 minutes of increased heart rate. That would be simple enough if I go up and down the stairs for 10 minutes 3 times during the day. That will also boost up my floors per day count.

2300 is to stay at current weight. im using that as the example of what it says i would eat and not lose anything. if i follow what fitbit says and ate what it says i burn each day (in order to not gain or lose) I would eat less than what MFP says AND that is including a hell of a lot of physical activity. No activity +…

Yes it does miss a few stairs but I've learned how to keep my arm down whrn climbing but I can't imagine going from sitting on my butt to coming home after 8 hours in a pool of sweat and be only burning that amount. Just did my weekly weigh in and I've lost 2 pounds so I mean the exercise is working and thr stairs have…

That happened to me in high school when my best friend's boyfriend didn't want her talking to me anymore. She "broke up with me" with a note in the lunch room. Really hurt. We're friends again and have been for over 10 years, but we arn't as close as we were before that.

The boobs part is what bothers me, They're getting flatter and flatter but since I still have a ways to go It's not so bad...yet. I totally think I'll wear a bra during sex for a long time just so I don't feel self conscious about it. But that won't stop me from losing the weight. It's far more important.

I eat under 20g a day. I do a LCHF diet and eat a lot of meat, cheese, cauliflower, broccoli, and green beans, butter and other fats. It's not difficult once you get the hang of it. There are carbs in most everything so it's important to keep watch with portion control. Adding more fat helps to feel full and keeping the…

I don't "cheat" I'm on a very low carb diet and occasionally I'll eat carby foods (like going out for chinese rice and egg rolls) but on those rare days I make sure to keep my calories low and my carbs under 100 so it doesn't spike my blood sugar as badly. The goal for me is to only go over my carb goal on special…

I had my tubes burned, or whatever it's called, 2 years ago. I actually lost a lot of weight because I lost my appetite but if you just eat under your maintenance number you shouldn't gain. As for "problems" I've had since having it done, nothing serious. I did have two periods a month for a couple months, which was weird,…

lol there is an option to log it over on LoseIt! They even keep it incognito so your friends don't see it. lol

I am. Been on it one week, I've lost 7 pounds.

Works for me. I'm also a diabetic so it had a second health benefit than just weight loss. I love meat and fats so I don't mind missing the carbs.

egg rolls fried rice sweet and sour sauce cheeseburgers pizza chocolate fried chicken mashed potatoes and gravy god im getting hungry...I've got to stop now. lol

No, but once I was buying pull ups for my son and the cashier said "Those are huge! Kids shouldn't still be wearing pull ups when they're that big" and I said "They do when they are permanently disabled." Shut her right the heck up. I hate nosy cashiers.

cardio burns more calories because it gets your heart rate up. Weight training keeps you from losing lean muscle which burns more calories than fat. Both important.

Some people look at an 8 ounce steak and think it weighs 3 ounces. lol and there is a big difference in calories. but if you're good at it, and you're losing weight then meh.

July 25th

I drink water or diet coke.

The number on mine stays the same no matter how I stand or how many times I get off it and back on.

Did you remember all their birthdays?

I do the same, I eat what I want and keep it within my calorie budget. Much easier to follow.

As long as you budget for them, and get the nutrients you need in the day, go for it! I eat what I want, take a vitamin, and eat other healthy foods. This is a lifestyle not a diet, you can't be miserable or you'll fail or gain it all back. Enjoy your sausages!
