I really love the fact that my weight is automatically logged electronically into FitBit and MFP. The weight loss badges from FitBit are fun to earn and weighing frequently has taught me how crazy my weight can fluctuate. Although you can delete a weigh-in, I find it keeps me honest - lows and highs are all recorded, no…

You would think it would be in the interest of the company profit margin to give just a little less per item, so it's interesting to hear some of you have found products with consistently more. Then again, maybe it's a CYA thing? Take, for example, the recent lawsuit against Subway over their 12" sandwiches coming up…

Fantastic! Great work. 50 is my tentative goal and it's amazing to see what a 50+ pound loss looks like. Love the hair, too!

I think this is why the concept of a body weight set point is so incredibly amazing. Imagine the margin of error for maintaining ones weight over the course of so many years. Even an extra 50 calories per day would lead to a 5 pound gain per year, yet our bodies are capable of maintaining this tight control over weight.…

I was under the impression he mistook the two words, as I was pointing out the internal mechanisms at work of which we are not aware. I could see how he used conscience as a synonym for guilt as a result of overindulgence, leading to behavior change. However, nothing I cited mentioned ones conscience, guilt, or cognitive…

Dictionaries and the definitions of words are our friends. conscious (my word) - adjective 1. aware of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc. 2. fully aware of or sensitive to something (often followed by of): conscious of one's own faults; He wasn't conscious of the gossip about his past. 3. having…

Set point theory works with weight gain as well. See this: http://www.obesityaction.org/educational-resources/resource-articles-2/weight-loss-surgery/body-weight-set-point-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-know I think the best real world example of this is post-holiday weight gain. After an indulgent 2-3 weeks around the time…

I read a book by Dr. George L. Blackburn who likened losing weight to a rubber band. The further you go from your set point, the further and tighter that rubber band stretches and wants to shoot back to its original form. His suggestion was to lose weight slowly, lose 10% at a time, then maintain that 10% for at least six…

Food labeling laws are in the process of being revamped in the U.S., and one of the proposed changes revolves around the idea of appropriate/reasonable serving sizes. I hope these changes take effect! I would love to see a 'total calories per container' label, such that I could account for all the calories in foods that…

That's an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing your strategy. Estimating and accounting for calories in my coffee, spices, and Pam spray can make me feel a little crazy at times. I don't know how to NOT try to be perfect (but the perfection mentality is exhausting and I give up entirely in bouts). I need to find a…
