Same here :(

It's okay, I understand your question. I was actually just looking through the forum to see if there was an answer to the same question. Fitbit used to sync beautifully with MFP but Apple Watch doesn't sync all active burned calories accurately unless you've done them as specific exercise through the HRM feature?? If…

I just got the apple watch and did a comparison with the watch and the Fitbit one that I have loved and not been parted from for nearly two years. The data was almost identical and also the Apple watch provides a lot more data. I also compared it to my Polar FT HRM when doing some cardio and it again was spot on, even…

I've been here 4 years and this worked and works for me, through weight loss and maintenance. I work to weekly calories to allow for high calorie occassions.

To be fair, there are some discrepancies with the FDA. Here in Europe no product can say it's 0 calories unless it's water. Hence Diet Coke, Coke Zero etc all say they contain 1 calorie.

Calories Protein Salt

When you attend the classes it really doesn't feel like exercising alone. There will be loads of people of different shape, size and ability. You'll be too busy concentrating on what you're doing to care what people think when you're there.

1) Why can I not see what everyone else sees? When you ask this, do you mean the people that are saying you are too thin? When I initially lost my weight, people said similar things. But I wasn't and am still not underweight and people get used to it. I think it's more about them and the fact that they are not yet used to…

Walk!! It's such an underrated yet really beneficial form of exercise

Wow!!!! What an achievement - you look fabulous.

We're very mindful of salt/sodium in our house and processed foods are so riddled with it nowadays it's worth being careful or knowledgable about the big offenders. There are so many long term health risks with a high salt diet. I wouldn't worry about being over on the protein though! :smile:

^^^ As UmmSqueaky said - it's listed in the database.

That sounds like a good amount to me. They say you should be averaging around 10,000 steps a day which equates to just under 5 miles (through walking distances and daily activity). I use a Fitbit so it's amazing to see how many steps you get just walking about the house/office if you're not good at sitting still like I am!

Continue with whatever level of exercise you enjoy and will be able to sustain. If you work out you will have even more calories to eat, if you don't then you'll have less. Maintenance is no different in that respect, just you wont be eating at a deficit.

Read New Rules of Lifting for Women, you might learn a thing or two. When people said to Arnold Schwarzenegger "We never want to look like you" he replied, "Don't worry, you never will".

I've been maintaining for 3 and half years and I still 'fail' if that's what you want to call it. It's not about those moments and more about starting straight back to normal the next day. You are what you do the majority of the time.

I weigh in about once a fortnight if that.

I've been maintaining for about 3 and a half years now and I struggle to remember the old me! OR sometimes I would remember old habits or my attitude and almost be shocked that I was like that! MFP has really educated me for the better!

I wouldn't worry about what your friends think, it would be like you passing judgement on what they eat. I don't make logging obvious though, especially when I'm out with company. I'd either try and log before if I could see the menu, or make sensible choices and log afterwards.

I like the card idea! ^^

There are some great body strength programmes you can do. It might also be worth packing a resistance band for a little extra.

^^^ This. I lift 3 times a week focusing on alternating 2 workouts which encompass 6 compound moves: Barbel squat Bench Press Dead rows Overhead shoulder press Lat pull downs Deadlifts

Personally I think your arms look great! You can do higher reps at a lower weight for endurance and you can still lift fewer weights for strength - you wont bulk/increase your muscles unless your eating over your maintenance calories.

Thanks for the responses guys. I will be giving some of these extra moves a try. :)

If you want a tight butt, then you need to get squatting! There's plenty of workouts available on the internet, Youtube, apps for your phone/ipad. Try out some body weight routines and see how you feel about strength training. Like the above poster said, if it's easy you wont get results.

This, one day wont make any difference, just get back on the wagon the day afterwards and carry on as you have been.

Generally 3 days a week are best....loads of good programmes around: Starting Strength Stronglifts 5x5 New Rules of Lifting I also found one on 'aworkoutroutine' website which is great for beginners.

It can be intimidating to do something new like that when you've no experience or guidance. I would recommend definitely trying it - I used to be a cardio junkie, but now give me weights any day - it's far more interesting and satisfying! :) Read New Rules of Lifting for Women - it's a brilliant foundation knowledge for…

I love rice and make sure I can fit a good portion into my calories! However I think where you've heard it's fattening is that white rice is quite high on the glycemic index which can peak your blood sugar levels. Whilst typically Asian continents are generally slimmer than their Western neighbours, there are high levels…
