We have whole forum for FitBitters! Go back ot the main page, scroll down and you'll see the FitBit section. Lots of helpful info there. Like others, I do not log my exercise unless it is something that FitBit doesn't "get", like spending an hour bowling on Kinect or yoga, stuff like that. I love my FitBit, it has really…

I find this is a little bit ironic because most of the "clean eaters" I have spoken with acknowledge that there really is not rule book for clean eating. A question as simple as "what foods are clean?" will garner dozens if not hundreds of conflicting opinions. The ultimate goal is to increase the healthy foods like fruits…

This makes me laugh every time too!!!! I wonder if it thinks I need encouragement?! Like a cheering section! Hooray for me, I went potty! The only time I see my messages is when I pick it up off the counter after my shower.

I usually eat 1/2 C, which, when cooked with broth, is about 120 calories, 2 g fat, 5g protein.

HOLY DELICIOUS! this was by far the BEST thing I have made with quinoa to date. My kids and husband even ate it! Woot woot, thanks for sharing - can't wait to eat my leftovers for lunch today!!

LOL!

Without being able to see your food log, there is really no way to even guess at this.

My husband is very similar to this but I will say that he is getting better. The most important part of ALL of this is that your spouse know that this is a journey for you to be HAPPY. HAPPY. HAPPY. Not a super model, not eating only celery, not a compulsive exerciser. It's not about torturing him or starving him or…

I graduated today! Love ya and Hug me! Woot!! And I really do laugh each time it calls me FitB*tch. I will be one day!!

Every body is different. Some of the girls here are posting about being 200+ at a size 16. I am 177 and just moved fro 16 to 14. These 14s are not going to last long, they already look like I could fit another person in the butt area. But the waist... that is my biggest difficulty. I also think it takes a long time to drop…

Some people don't weight themselves at all. I just read another post where the OP had to surrender the scale batteries to her husband. To each his/her own. If you want to, wait till your clothes feel a little loose and then do it. That way, you KNOW you're making progress because you're (insert sound clip of Wicked Witch…

Breakfast: Organic spinach (really proud of this one, I HATE spinach!!!) Nonfat milk Dannon Vanilla Light N Fit Lunch: Sargento 45 calorie cheddar slices Diet Pepsi (oops) Tomatoes Dinner: Calabacitas Guisada (fancy for Stewed Zucchini, so GOOD!) Lettuce Tomatoes I do eat meat. I think. Sometimes.

I am about 7 weeks in and while I would like to say it gets easier, I think a previous poster was correct in his assertion that we just get better at it. Once eating all the good things becomes a habit, you will stop thinking about that other stuff. And for me, honestly, part of this process was to change the route I take…

I know, right??

Thanks everybody! Feels good!

It took me a while but I figured it out. Mine is now named FitB*tch.

I make my own also, from Borax, baking soda, Zote soap, OxyClean, washing soda, and I add fabric softener in crystal form. Clothes are CLEAN (even got ink pen of my daughter's doll's face; the ink was like 6 months old and I had tried unsuccessfully to get it out at least a dozen times before), soft, and smell good. My…

So now I want to know how to change its name??

So are people just deciding that what they're eating is "clean" and then feeling proud about it? I have been thinking that clean eating means nothing from a box: like no pasta, no whole grain cereal, etc. Someone told me if it doesn't spoil within a week, it's not clean. That would mean milk is out, yogurt, cheese, lots of…

My fitbit hardly ever gets put down so I am doing a little experiment right now: Stepgeek Hi there No Donut Stepgeek Hi there No Donut Stepgeek Hi there No Donut I think my fitbit has the vocabulary of a 2-year-old.

Nice!!

No prep, sweet, and lasts 3 hours. I'm afraid I'll be useless on this one. What about buying a container of pre-cut fruit from the produce area/ That's a lot of sugar though...

What kind of stuff do you like? Ever tried quinoa? I like quinoa cooked with broth or water, mix in some salsa, and eat it with raw peppers and other veggies like a dip. Makes me feel like I'm eating chips and dip kind of. As far as something you can snack on for 3 hours... that's a lot of time to eat mindlessly. Maybe…

For me, the eating at X:XX meant eating when I wasn't hungry. It meant calories I did not need. It just didn't work for me. I am a fan of fasting, in fact today is a fasting day and I have yet to feel actually hungry and I've been up and moving for 8 hours. If I was eating every three hours, I would have consumed all those…

I fasted Wed and Fri last week and today is my third fasting day. By far, today is the easiest yet. Like others have noted, my appetite is noticeably reduced and am able to still stick with my 1400ish budget on "eating" days. I am also finally able to discern between what is a craving, what is boredom, what is habitual…

I know, RIGHT?!!??!?! I was wondering if I was going to have to get a AA!?! I guess I should be glad I went from a 38B to a 36B but these poor cups are way more padded than the old bra and are not full, either. I'll be an A before I'm done, I feel confident.

I certainly WOULD have cried!

Yup, had to buy smaller bras yesterday and I'm only 12lb down. Boobs are disappearing fast, not that my giant B cup was much to brag about to begin with. :frown:

I did end up buying one and I really like it so far. It's helping me to keep track of everything, from my sleep efficiency (very cool to see this info in detail, I had NO idea) to my activity level. Turns out, I'm probably not giving myself enough credit for all the activity I do, and I actually earned myself an extra 750…

Today is fasting again - I think I will just not mention it. At all. To anyone. : ) Have a great Friday everybody!!!!
