Please don't turn this into an argument people. I was just trying to inform the people that do eat ground turkey so they don't end up sick or worse. Everyone has the right to choose what they eat. Be respectful of that please.

I think you have to go recalculate your goals though. As I have lost it kept it the same for me. then I went to change goals and let MFP do it instead of Custom and it was lowered then. So you have to go to change goals to get it to adjust. Then readjust your macros to what percentages you want. Good Luck!

Great post and article! So true! I don't even like to be friends with people that do some of these things. I feel if I don't say something to them I am not being supportive in their goals. It's a bad situation to have to sit back and watch someone hurt themselves. Makes me sad : (

KJ here is another post where people are talking about Wii.... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/310040-wii-alone maybe you can get some info from other members about Wii Fit. Good Luck!

I think I have heard it is a little. I heard one difference is in Wii Fit Plus you can make an exercise program so each exercise starts up right after another without having to choose it. So its a quicker transition between exercises. But even without that it is not that hard to just choose the next exercise quickly. I…

I use the Wii Fit Plus somedays. The aerobics parts and then yoga to cool down. I do about 30-40 minutes the days I use it. The next day I definitely feel I have used all my muscle groups. I feel it is a good cardio workout. I don't know anything about the gauge for the bike or punching bag so cant help you there. I also…

Don't get weird. Own it!! Be proud of what you have lost!! You did the work now reap the benefits!! Congrats on your weight loss!

Thats exactly why I asked the posted question...to get more ideas and see what other people like. Hope its of help to you!!

Thank you all! I don't feel so crazy now :smile: Good luck to you all on your journeys!

I use ankle weights just when walking or doing leg exercises. It has helped with strengthening my leg muscles I feel. I have not experienced any negative effects from them. So I say go for it but my only advice is don't start off too heavy. I have ankle weights where you can add or take away some of the weight so I started…

Well I did ask your right! lol I think I would go to sleep after something like that lol

Hmmmmm I like whole wheat pancakes every now and then...I wonder if it would work to mix my Vanilla whey protein powder in the mix?? you gave me an idea thanks!!!

If its only one day I wouldnt worry too much. Dont over indulge but cut yourself some slack. Like others said make some smart choices but let yourself have something as a treat. You will probably be walking around alot getting some exercise to help balance it also. I went away 2 weeks ago for 4 days and went over my…

Hahaha but I think the OP did not get the joke she may be offended even if she did lol

I agree. bottled, tap whatever I hate the taste of water makes me wanna vomit. I drink flavored water or tea that has no sugar calories caffeine etc. 0 everything so its just as good as water.

I log everything!! I am obsessive about being precise with every recipe. It's crazy sometimes. I would rather know exactly where I am at than guessing. Guessing is what got me to the weight I was at.

If your friends start looking at you weird because you just asked them for the 25th time to join MFP because its "fun"......

I don't belong to a gym but invested $20-$30 in some hand and ankle weights and just do all sorts of exercises with them. It helps that I can do them when I have the spare time during the week or when I am not working or going to school. Also cheaper than a gym membership if your tight on cash. Good Luck!

I was taught in my nutrition class....if you eat a high fiber diet it will help your body not absorb as much of the sugar you intake. So as long as your not going way over and you have a high fiber diet you should be okay. (as other people said as long as its not all processed sugar)

I do the mayo ketchup thing too. But my friend has the most disgusting thing I have heard of. She eats cottage cheese with hot dogs!! YUCK!!

Hello Emma. Sorry you don't have enough support yet. Add me if you like!!

Welcome Natalie!! Hope you have as awesome MFP experience as I have had. Add me if you like. Either way good luck on your journey!!

Your going to probably get some mixed reviews. Some people say they dont eat their exercise calories. But MFP already factors in a weight loss when giving you 1200 calories. And if your only allowed 1200 calories to begin with I would say eat some if not all back. Again a weight loss is already factored in to the 1200.…

Well Im pretty sure under 5000 steps is sedentary so I would assume if your doing over 11000, that would be at least slightly active but probably active. That would be my guess.

I agree!! It was an eye opener for me when I had to make a list of all my families illnesses or causes of death for a health class that made me realize I really need to get healthy to prevent those things from happening to me!! Now I am well on the right track!! Good Post!!!

I have a partner who has a sweet tooth also. She eats whatever she wants and doesnt gain a pound. It's sickening!! What I do is try to keep healthy alternatives for myself to snack on when she snacks. Like watermelon or cantaloupe. Also to feed the craving for chocolate I make Jell-O Chocolate fat free sugar free pudding…

I feel for you. I am a stress eater too. Just remember you have to do whats best for you...not your professor, boyfriend, friend, roommate or whoever!! Worry about you and your health...physical AND mental!! Don't do something you are truly against or you will regret it. I know its hard to disappoint someone who was…

Turkey Chili!! Yummmmm! If you would like my recipe email me and I will reply with it.

I would wait a couple days and see if any comes back after your start eating normally again. Just so your not back and forth with the weighing in. Hope you feel better soon!!!
