MFP is always WAY higher in calories burned than reality for me. It showed about 10 cals per minute on the elliptical for me and I was actually only burning about 6-7/minute. After going for 30 minutes, it creates quite a discrepancy. When I walk, it is the same way, I burn far less calories than MFP estimates for me:mad:

I bought mine at ****s. They have a big selection of Polar brand that varies in price. I love mine, before I got it, I was only losing about .2 to .5lbs per week and the week I got it I lost 1.7lbs, which is huge for me. Plus, my elliptical machine has a Polar monitor in it, so when I wear it, it projects onto my screen!…

I would probably estimate it at something similar to Olive Gardens Chicken Alfredo - although Applebee's is known to have EXTRA high calories, so it may have even more than that (which is 990)

Ug. I know how you feel. It has been in the high 90's here for almost the entire week and I am having the hardest time motivating myself to work out. I just want to lay around with a glass of something with ice in it. I have been trying to walk at night when it starts to cool off, but last night at 9pm it was still 87…

Don't know for sure, but every time I drink it EVERY DAY - 2 Cups/day - I seem to lose a little more. It may be the extra water??? Or the fact that I drink it at night in place of a snack??? Not sure, but whatever it is that is actually doing it, I do seem to lose a little more. If I forget for a while, my weight loss…

I think the way it works is that the site builds in a deficit for you so that regardless of whether or not you work out, you should still lose (theoretically). If you work out, you are supposed to eat those extra calories so that your body doesn't go into a starvation mode and prevent you from losing anything.

you have eaten all of your meals for the day and you have a large number of remaining calories? i don't want to eat junk food late at night, but if i ate healthy stuff, i would have to eat every fruit and veggie in my fridge!!! i find myself in this position a lot because i don't want to eat too many calories during the…

I don't really know, I think it tenderizes the onions a little an gets rid of the stickey-ness of the garlic???

Try this when you are nearly out of calories for dinner . . . . .only about 135 cals the way i made it below: 1/2 cup homemade salsa (recipe below) (15 cals) 1/4 avocado (80 cals) 1/2 small chicken breast (39 cals) grill chicken with tiny bit of Pam and salt and pepper top chicken with salsa and avocado (so pretty!) I had…

Are you planning on purchasing the dining plan??? We do because it is WAY cheaper than buying food, but the problem is that everyone in your room has to be on the same dining plan - therefore, if you want to purchase it for your DH and kids, and eat light for yourself, you're out of luck, they make you buy it too. Then, if…

I can tell you this: I have always used Norton, McAfee, and various other "anti-virus" softwares to protect my PC's and have gotten such destructive virus' DESPITE these that I was forced to by new computers over and over, however, since I have had my Mac, I have NEVER installed ANY TYPE of anti-virus, firewall, etc.…

I went 2 years ago and we did walk A TON, but unfortunately, this trip was the beginning of my 10 lb weight gain over the next year. So I would love some tips too, since we are going back in December. The problem for me is that when I go on vacation, food is a huge part. I love to try new things at new restaurants and when…

woohooo! maybe only 14 more pounds to size 10, for me is 7 lbs per size:drinker: :drinker:

buy a Mac! No virus'!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Anyone have any idea on calories for a scoop of cookie dough topping at TCBY???

I got the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD yesterday and it completely kicked my butt! I was fine during and after the workout, but this morning I could not move. It literally worked EVERY muscle in my body. I did it again today, even though I can barely walk, but I'm gonna do it dang it!:wink: I would definitely…

water, water, water:flowerforyou:

No kidding, is it lost forever???

So, my hubby and I went out to dinner tonight with no kids:drinker: and the only place we could get into was PF Changs. OK, OK, I know it is really bad, but this is what happened: we ordered the spare ribs and I KNOW they are bad, so I ate only 1. Then we ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp and ate only 5 shrimp (there was like 40…

it substitutes both the eggs and oil. just a box of cake mix and a can of pop. thats it. i cut the baking time down a few minutes too

Thanks. It is good, I just wanted to make sure. I think I will try one with sprite next time.:smile:

Ok, yesterday someone mentioned diet pop cake, which I had never heard of. I read back in some of the older posts and tried it last night. It was REALLY good! But, it was kinda in between cake and brownie texture, it that how it's supposed to be, or did I do something wrong?

I went through something similar recently. (not the surgeries, just the weird weight gain). The conclusions I came to for myself were: 1. not enough water 2. not enough calories - big one 3. not enough exercise. Sound simple enough, but before, if I decided to lose weight, I would just cut out junk food and cut calories…

AWESOME! KEEP IT UP!:flowerforyou:
