  • you have to remember that as you have added weights/strength training you will building/rebuilding your muscle mass. There will be times that you will basically exchanging fat pounds to muscle pounds. And don't base on weighing every day.

    in Did I screw up my metabolism? Comment by momma_hav August 2014
  • I have only had the fitbit but several people at work have them as well. I like mine and the way that it will adjust my daily calories based on how active I am that day. If I am lazy like on a Sunday it will show a deduction or no change in calories. If I go to the gym or have more walking / activity than usual it will…
    in Fitbit vs. Fitbug? Comment by momma_hav August 2014

Like we can earn back the whole $50 if we meet basic goals in gift certificates but you might want to use smaller one s to allow for the "other" milestone…

  • Did you pick the 1400 hundred calories a day or did you let MFP choose for you? In our weight loss group we had a couple of people that thought the MFP number was too high so they lowered it and struggled. Once they went to what MFP chose for them to lose 1.5 lbs a week they started doing better.. Also I notice you aren't…
    in If I am at a deficit, why am I not losing weight? Comment by momma_hav June 2014
  • Great post and great attitude. These journeys have to begin with taking responsibility both for the past and for the future. I found a Groupon for a running/fitness store that offered a "Month to a Mile class" It was designed to get someone to running a mile at the end of it. I took with the idea of being able to walk a…
