Not sure they would listen to me about it! If you ordered it from their website then you should have an order history. Or if you paid for it with a Credit Card it will be on your old statement... I told the CS person that I bought it at Sports Authority and when I bought it. They looked up to see if it was eligible for a…

It gets faster with time. Now that I have been doing this for over a month, most of the things that I eat regularly are already on my recent foods list. I keep a notepad and pencil next to my scale. I write it down as I add it. If I am doing something to taste, I weigh the bottle (for spices) or container before I start…

Don't even need a receipt or to have bought it from their website. I got mine at Sports Authority and the band started lifting off the plastic part. I just had to tell them when I bought it, the color and size. Mine was in the mail next day.

Try to lower your carb intake in increments. Doing it all at once can make the "flu" a lot worse, as well as the cravings. Pre-hardboil eggs and keep them in the fridge. Also if you like nuts, pre-portion them out and keep 1-2 portions in your purse as a go-to snack. Drink LOTS of water. And make sure you are getting your…

I have been waking up 2 hours earlier for my workouts the past 3 weeks (the first week was a lot of failure with a bit of success). After that really awful first week, it was a lot easier to do. I find that I have a lot more energy for the day by getting my workouts in before work. My tips: -make sure that you go to bed at…

Make sure that your Fitbit Timezone and your MFP Timezone are set to the same. Since you log the date/time of the exercise, if these are different it will mess it up.

hmm was that made from filtered, natural spring water? Or tap?

Well, I must be an anomaly then because my energy has doubled since starting LC.

Are you on Low Carb for medical reasons or because you think it is the best diet for losing weight? If you don't like eggs and cannot think of things other than Salad & Chicken to eat all the time, then Low Carb might not be for you. I have been doing LC for a month now and have yet to stumble into your problem, but I love…

OP- I know just how you feel. I dislike it greatly when people bring it up, especially people that I don't particularly associate with in normal settings. I just tell them that yes I have lost weight and then either move on or change the subject. With my friends and family it is a little easier, but still I feel like,…

I had a similar situation this weekend, only the carb overload was my own choice and fault. It was so dang hot and my son wanted a Jamba Juice. 80g of carbs over my goal later and I spent the rest of the weekend feeling bloated. As the others have said, shake it off and keep on going. I am told it is easier for your body…

:smile: Bookmarked!

Thanks for the explanation. The less reps/higher weights was confusing me.

I will take a closer look into them then. When I did a google search they looked very advanced. And the ones that require books, I have to wait for the books to get here to determine. Thanks for the feedback.

I like the machines because I don't know how to use the free weights and the machines have little diagrams to help. As to the weight, I tried going to 40lbs the other day, but it was too hard to maintain that weight over 10-15 reps. That's why I went back to 30lbs. If I increase the weight, I won't be able to do as much.…

fillers and additives (ie breadcrumbs)

I am not sure what size you are, but I know that "plus sizes" like 14 and up can fit people for several sizes. For example- I went from 250 to over 300 and my pant size went from a tight 16 to a well-fitting 18. My sister went from about 130 to 140 and she went from size 2 to size 4. The larger the size, the longer they…

I've read in the MFP forums that for severely overweight people it is sometimes OK to eat below BMR. Most online calculators put my BMR around 2100, but MFP puts my calorie goal at 1600 to lose 2 lb/week.

I took them for a couple months. The DR had me on 1/2 pills and 1 full pill of Fluoxotine (sp?). When I was sitting around my limbs would vibrate and twitch. I could hardly focus. Oh, and I was so exhausted because I couldnt sleep that I could hardly function. But good luck to you.

Congrats on hitting your Goal for the Challenge!

I had to stop using MapMyWalk because of the Under Armour App. Even when I went over my step goal it would screw up my daily totals. I dont get why I can't have the 1 App linked without having to use the other App.

As an alternative to bareback riding - If you are using an English saddle, cross the stirrups over the mantle but keep your form. If you are using a Western saddle, drop the stirrups. This will give your Calves and Thighs a work out. But riding itself will not elevate your heart rate too much.

When I am not hungry and I am still short of 1200-1400 calories (my goal is 1600~) I grab a spoon and put my peanut butter jar on my food scale. Then I just eat peanut butter until the jar weighs enough grams less to meet my calorie goals. 1 spoon, maybe 2-3 if I am on the low end for the day. Maybe not the most…

I have decided to log exercise and then if I am hungry I eat SOME of the calories back. Even if I do not eat them back, I make sure to log the exercise because if something happens (like I stall in my weight loss, get sick, etc) and I need to know what I did on certain days the information is right there for me to see.
