I don't weigh until tomorrow morning so not sure yet how it's going to go. I logged the whole week and was only very over my calories on Christmas day. Hoping it'll all average out. Guess I'll see tomorrow morning :)

Yes, I have already started pre-logging a lot of it since I'm making our Christmas dinner. So been using the recipe feature a lot. If I wasn't the one cooking I cannot imagine trying to keep track! For the day of our Christmas party at work I estimated calories for the items I ate. I'll be over my calories on Christmas…

Im getting the Fitbit Zip for Christmas and really look forward to trying it out! I'm looking forward to it syncing with MFP. I appreciate the tips on getting it setup accurately. I'd read another post on her about the Fitbits before choosing the Zip. It seemed more what I wanted since I didn't care about monitoring sleep…

I only weigh on the scale once a week at the same time and day each week, early Saturday morning. The fluctuations from day to day are too much and I don't like to stress about it (and obsess) about it that much. This has worked really well for me :) I will never stop getting on the scale, even when I lose the last few…

My weight loss has been a very slow, healthy process of eating right and exercise. I also do some strength training/toning for the past year but I did not at first, just mostly walking and cardio. I have very little loose skin. This is actually one of the reasons I have taken this so slowly and a couple of times have even…

I've lost about a cup size, but I really agree with some of the others that it's in proportion to your new body size. I was a D and now a full C. I'm happy with it, big busts run in my family so I was never going to lose all of it. It's a lot better now for me anyways, easier to exercise for sure lol! I think whatever you…

I get this all the time. The whole "can you have this/that" "what diet are you on" and even if I decided to have a higher calorie item at a work party for a treat...the whole "oh, Bridgette's falling off the wagon!" It's really amazing how people watch what you have every moment now that I've lost so much weight, it's like…

I can sooo relate to this. I have finally learned how to respond to the "you look great" type compliments as it took me a long time to be comfortable with those and sometimes I still shrug them off with a "thanks, it's a work in progress" type of response. I'm better with family and friends compliments and can proudly tell…

I did keep one pair of my largest jeans as a way of looking back and sometimes I try them on to laugh that I can now fit into one leg! I find this easier to wrap my mind around the body image thing than looking in the mirror. I keep only 2 sizes. The one that is newly fitting into as I'm going down, and the size that's a…

I can so understand where you are coming from. I had no problems in the beginning losing weight and the smaller I got the harder it got. I'd have to vary stuff and it would work for a while then I'd have to change it. I agree, it is very frustrating. I keep thinking I should know how to do this whole thing by now but stuff…

I am going to try this, eating back my exercise calories. I think this might be my problem with those last pounds that I need to lose to go to goal. I'm of course scared to try it since I don't want to gain back, but this past week i was perfect and gained 2 pounds! And I'm so close to goal that it has gotten so hard! So I…

Wow, I'm totally going to try this!
