Grazing on mini peppermint patties and chewy jolly ranchers all day, and not measuring the amounts of olive oil or cheese I put in salads or in cooking.

I'm looking to get one ASAP but first I have to get a new iPhone and that's not happening until September probably. I have an iPhone 3GS and the Fitbit Flex is only compatible with iPhone 4 and above. If I really need a tracker before then, I might buy myself the Jawbone UP. I think that's compatible with iPhone 3GS.

I'm a teacher in a 4th floor walkup and I climb 5 flights of stairs 3-4 times a day, up and down, within 45 minute intervals and spend most of my day standing and teaching. MFP categorizes me as "lightly active".

This is the most esoteric thing I've heard all day. There's probably something to it.

You will definitely find motivation among the many members and stories here. I've been here almost a month and there is a LOT of support. Congratulations on starting your journey!

Yeah it's down...News Feed was down earlier today, now I can't log in, had to come online to log my dinner. Hope it gets fixed soon. I'm really loving the app.

Very inspiring. It seems like you did it in a consistent, moderate way. And it obviously paid off! Congratulations.

Congratulations! You look great.

Does Soundgarden and Audioslave count? That is on my running playlist.

Eclectic sounds all around!

Awesome!

Olive oil

Hypnosis helps me a bit. I also went to acupuncture when I was starting my journey to give me a jump start. They're not magic, but helped get me in the right frame of mind.

You look great man! Congratulations. You don't need to go any more but if you do, I'd keep it to within 5.

This issue once actually kept me from working out hard...I'd try to buy more time with my hair style...it takes so LONG to properly dry because I have long thick hair. I get a keratin once every 3-4 months and now that the weather's warmer it's a bit easier but I sometimes alternate days washing my hair...gross as that…

My gym used to have a "coffee" smoothie where they mixed the coffee with some whey protein and ice and milk (I'd use almond milk) and it tasted almost like coffee ice cream. I don't know what whey protein flavor to use (I'd probably use vanilla). The coffee they used to add to the smoothies were scoops of Maxwell…

Congratulations! Inspiring indeed.

Congratulations. You look fantastic.

I lost 3 lbs last week. I'm extremely active and usually fall under my calorie goal. I think it's OK as long as you're eating healthy. For all the work I'm doing, I was actually hoping to have lost 4 or 5 during the week. As frustrating as it can be, I was OK with it because I feel like I'm building muscle and boosting my…

I agree. The investment you're making in yourself is actually bigger than the feelings of a bad day, or even a good one. Feelings aren't facts. Tomorrow is another day. :smile:

I've upped my running to 3-6 miles every night (about 60-70 min for me) plus 45-60 minutes of the Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zones" workout. Then I try to do a Yoga For Runners 25 minute program. The NMTZ workout does planks, crunches, some mat/leg work, and uses dumbbells. I feel like I'm making progress with this…
