I agree with you. This is the best post for advice for her. She should listen to you!!

Thanks for sharing. I agree. A scale is a must. I use my scale, measuring cups, and measuring spoons all the time. I need to. The weight watchers frozen ice cream desserts are excellent too. I feel like I am a high calorie dessert.

I make a lot of their recipes. They have always been good. I love the Parmesean Tilapia. I make that one a lot. I use different fish with it not always Tilapia.

I alway go over my protein and fiber. I think MFP has it set to low. I watch my sodium though. I need to keep that low.

I am a lifetime WW members. I loved the old plan. The new PointsPlus doesn't work for everyone. It didn't work for me after the first few weeks. I came on here and started tracking both places. I found even though I was eating all of my healthy checks. I wasn't eating enough calories which could have caused my plateau.…

You are doing what is right for you to get healthy. I am glad you saw your problem and are getting professional help for it and that you have your Mom to support you. Best of luck. God Bless.

I have a polar HRM too but I don't think it is waterproof. Also I can't put mine in the washer either. I would check your owners manual for yours.

I think she meant 3 apples per day. 1 before each meal.

I love mine. I am actually thinking of buying one for when I go to Florida for the winter .I missed it last year when I was down there. I use it all the time. I like cooking fish, chicken, pork chops, baked potatoes. Just about everything in it. It is great for reheating pizza too. I haven't used it for dehydrating though.…

When my HRM quit I only needed a battery for it. Are you sure that isn't the case with yours. Just a thought?

I thought I might try it but now I think not. Lol.

I weigh myself everyday and that use to frustrate me too I soon realized after some research that about 3500 calories = 1 lb of fat. So you would have to consume that many calories on top of what your BMR and exercise is to gain just 1 lb and that is highly unlikely you consumed all those calories to gain 3 lbs. I still…

I am on my 3rd week with MFP and I am still trying to balance my meals. I do plan my meals daily which helps if I need to adjust. I am working on getting in my 1200 net calories in. Most day I go over my protein and fiber because I think it is set to low. I keep my sodium low because I can retain fluid. I have high…

I need to warm up first with cardio. Then strength training. I think whatever is comfortable for you. Good Luck.

That would be nice wouldn't it?

Sometimes you have to reset it or just unplug it then plug it back in. Then it should work. I think if you have a wireless connection for your computer. It will update from that. I can get to weather and news from my Wii also.

I like Harney's Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea.

I hate diets too. Most of us on here this site do. We are here to make lifestyle changes. We want to lose the weight never to find it again. There are a lot of members on here that are supportive, encouraging and motivated to help each other. Feel free to add me if you wish. Good Luck with your journey.

My protein and fiber are always higher than what they say I should be having. I think they are set to low on here.

I sprinkle it on my cream of wheat, oatmeal, or yogurt.

Well said. Thumbs up with this post!!

You need good supporting shoes for your feet. If you don't you can have foot problems sooner or later. My husband doesn't think I need a lot of things too. If I want something I think I need I just buy it and he gets over it. I hope you can do the same. Good Luck.

That is an awesome gift!! I have a Polar F6 that I have had for quite some time. I take it to the gym with me to get an accurate count of the calories I am burning. The calories the machines at the gym says I burn a lot more than what I actually burn. Good luck with your weight loss.

Thanks for sharing this info. I never knew they made a powder PB. My husband and I love Peanut Butter but can't just eat a serving size. I will be looking for this product.

If you have stairs in the house. Walk up and down them.

Happy 8th Birthday!!! Have a great day!!!

You are doing awesome!! Keep up the good work with baby steps. You will get there.

I have been kind of playing around with that. It depends on what foods you eat. Seems the healthier the food the lower the predicted weight. Also if you figure the predicted weight at least for me the weight loss is more than the 1 lb that I want to lose for the 5 weeks. It keeps me on track. I always try and plan my meals…

I saw this on GMA this morning. What an amazing story. Just think of the years she added to her life!!
