This is solid practical advice! Thanks

For that I thank you! My doctors are not concerned as much with calories, fat or protein, but carbs so I try to reign those in outside of low starch vegetables which are allowed in abundance. They actually told me to just do the plate diet and skip the stuff here. 1/2 plate is low veggies, 1/4 lean protein 1/4 a higher…

I have gone to the Dr. I have PCOS. Making weight loss extremely difficult.

So lets say I make my family a salad I have to weigh out every tomato every pepper ever portion of lettuce every cucumber slice then effing pick it all to bits and reweigh it when I put my portion in my individual bowl? See...this is ludicrous! Plus by the time I figured all the math I would too pissed to eat that damn…

Ugh...this is just frustrating. I think I am just going to give up just to not have this headache anymore. This is worse than having another full time job

I was always told to eat back most of those calories you earned since mfp sets a deficit when you set things up if how active you are and how much you would like to lose a week See this is just contradictions and confusion

I can't wrap my head around that...I lost weight before and never weighed a thing.if the cereal box days bran flakes 3/4 cup I measure 3/4 cup....why weigh something that has nutritional values given to me as cups, tablespoons, 3 cookies, one slice,of bread?

Well if the nutritional info is on the container and I have half of the item why do I need to weigh it? I usually do the walk 3 minutes at 4mph then run 1-2min at 5.2 mph so I am doin g some of that ...Same with spinning sometimes it's a slow hill with resistance sometimes it's a fast sprint making up intervals of my.…

No it's there. I got one guy who friended me and chatted back and forth innocent until he took it somewhere else. Tons of junk in the chat or need friends section like "if the poster above you were a food what would they be" "if you had to say something to the poster above you what would you say?" It is just gross.…

If I type *kitten* why does it switch to kitten? In the preview it says B I t c h not kitten WTF

And EVEN 180 was considered overweight but it was a *kitten* to get to and maintain...so I slowly got back to my set point of 220-225 In 8th grade I was 215... that has been me for years!

Jittery not buttery.Omg this stupid autocorrecting kindle

I am on metformin for 16 years now. No real changes and they don't want to try weight loss drugs because it makes me feel buttery and after a week stop working. They don't seem to see my weight as an issue, I do. Ob/gyn, regular md, even endocrinologist are all fine with where I am. No real startling changes for any thing…

I stay the same weight...last time I was here was over 6 years ago got to an 180 goal but had to be anal and exercise 2x a day for 6 days a week and got very burt out

Height 5'6" 216 now and yes, I adjust my HRM I usually have exercise calories left at the end of the day. Stuck for 4 weeks s ok now that you know everything but my bra size none of that makes a Damn bit of difference because you won't be able to fix it. Doctors can't even fix it. It's not thyroid it's not drink more, eat…

Yes, PCOS makes it like 3 times harder for me vs anyone else to lose weight. To the other posters I have we been stuck going on 4 weeks now, I do change up my exercises . And time of day I work out. I never go higher in weight than a set point of 225 and I am back here after 6 years. In fact I am back here lighter than…

I am thinking of trying weight watchers because you shouldn't have to weigh every morsel or never go out to eat because you can't accurately estimate the weight, calories, ingredients or fat, carbs, sugars, proteins etc. You shouldn't have to become the girl in a bubble making this a science experiment to get results and…

I don't know but at day 75 logging weighing food and even fixing wrong entries for nutrition info in the search list I then add to my menu of foods...I think I am being pretty diligent. I have an accurate heart rate monitor, drink tons, limit caffeine and never hide my cheats planned in to my day. Period was last…

Picture on the left

Thanks! As long as I burn calories then counts most. Thanks for clearing things up.

What I eat varies, what I drink and even how many calories burned .....I guess if I did everything EXACTLY the same s or those 5 weeks it may be accurate but who could do that with precision and consistency for 5 weeks without going bonkers with boredom to test it out? Yesterday my thing said in 5 weeks I'd weigh 211 but…

Thanks all. I guess reading the responses, logically getting in exercise whenever you can as long as is gets done is optimal versus picking out a best time of day. I just seemed to be white knuckling it holding off hunger and spiraling into a feeding frenzy eating throughout the day when I exercise early. It seems as if a…

Jogging stroller and a high school track or paved path. Walking gives you and baby time in fresh air and exercise. Some of our best walks were at a golf course that had a paved walking public path.

I did read that pickled foods like sauerkraut, pickled eggs and pickles and even pickled beets increase the levels of good bacteria in your gut.

You have 3 days usually to back out of any signed contract. You may have to call in the big guns and go to your physicians and get a note to opt out. If they are classes on credit card...cancel your card and move if you have too. Cross fit seems like hell. I think cardio intervals like walk 3 min light jog 1 minute…

Yup just used the url feature for the turkey pot pie my husband made...AWESOME. I needed to know about this so much sooner

I have the scale but never even considered the recipe generator. I was just writing it all down then figuring out my portion ...which is sort of the same but a lot of steps, plus I would do it all over again if I ate it as leftovers.

Thank you Afura for the chart that is a great start to what else I need to focus on.
