Hi, today is my birthday and hubby upgraded my Charge to a Blaze! Feel free to add me! https://www.fitbit.com/user/2PSSRK

I find nut/fruit trail mixes to be an absolute waste. I picked up a small pack at my job's snack area and was surprised to see it was 350 cal for such a tiny pack!

I guess I feel kind of dumb and a failure because everyone says to rest a day to recover, and here I barely squat 30 times and I need more than that... :(

I'm a huge fan of scanning the barcode on prepacked foods and logging them. I scanned something a few months ago (a yogurt) that was off by 50%. :neutral:

Can of soup, tuna on crackers, or a frozen meal.

Drinking a Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino.

5'2" newlywed/nerd, 26 years old! Hubby is doing it with me but doesn't use MFP. Feel free to add me!

Correct. You could eat nothing but cheeseburgers and donuts and as long as calorie in < calorie out, you will lose weight.

Yup. I usually gain about 3-4 lbs.

OP I just sent you a friend request. I'm 5'2" with a desk job and also over 100 lbs to lose. However, I eat between 1300 - 1500 a day. I use a food scale and log everything. Check out my diary and you can see what I'm eating. Yes, I eat fruit! I highly recommend a food scale and logging everything you eat.

I buy 2-3 frozen meals for lunch for the week. I also buy tuna (I really love the Lunch-To-Go by StarKist -- I'm having one today for lunch), and I also buy Campbell's soup. There's nothing wrong with processed food to eat. They're usually high in sodium so I make sure I always drink enough water when I have them!

I threw a dart at it. No, but really I picked something near-ish to my "ideal weight" (which is very low as a 5'2" woman) and decided to aim for that. I picked 140 -- still "overweight" but it would be the lowest I've been since I was a teenager. Then, we'll go from there.

You can always invest in one of those under the desk bicycle pedals. I'd personally wait it out though!

Nope, still broken.

Same, mine hasn't updated all day.

Quest bars

The only thing I count as water is actual water or water with some flavoring. I log coffee and tea separately.

I'm about 116 lbs from my goal. Starting at 275, want to be 135. I'm also 5'2". I read the forums a lot and I really don't want to eat at 1200, I think I'm going to starve. But at the same time, I've been doing so well. Kind of a double edge sword.

Hi! I use Just Dance for the PS4. When I had the PS3, I played about 3 other Just Dance games. It's a lot of fun and the time passes quickly when you play.

I hear you! I'm a paralegal and planning for my wedding in June. I know I won't be my goal weight, but I want to feel good on the inside, you know? :) Everyone can add me if they'd like!

I'm a huge fan of fruit, so I keep plums, nectarines, apples, or peaches in the fridge. Or, if I think that won't be enough, I grab a Quest bar. Strawberry Cheesecake is my flavor of the month!

It's 11pm and I just finished my workout. Sorry, being a student and a full time worker, and planning her wedding... I need my sleep. Those pillows are just so nice.

:s Noon and still no fix. Getting nervous. But I'm glad I found this group!

Tomatoes are gross and disgusting. We should take all the tomatoes and put them on another planet. Beyond that, I don't like anything in the melon family. Honeydew, canteloupe, watermelon...

Mine isn't syncing. :/

I just found out that the gram/calorie count on meat such as chicken is the amount uncooked, not cooked. So I've been logging cooked chicken using those numbers. :/

I think I'm stuck then, because I don't see anything that says "cooked" in the database. Maybe I should stop eating them. I only have 2 tenderloins left. What's a good suggestion if I mass cook my meat over the weekend? Should I stop doing that and put little flags with toothpicks so I know how many grams each one is and…

For me if I'm doing any activity other than walking or running, I love my HRM. My FitBit has a built in one, but I prefer the cheststrap. Whenever I eliptical, I take off the fitbit or it counts it twice.

I work for a pharmaceutical company, and as far as protein powder goes, these are our top sellers:* Dymatize Elite Whey Protein (Chocolate Fudge and Cookies and Cream are the top flavors) * BPI Sports Whey HD (Banana Marshmallow and Chocolate Cookie are the top flavors) * GNC Pro Perfomance 100% Whey Protein
