I wake every night (often a couple of times, I am a light sleeper). When that happens, I get up, go to the toilet, have a glass of water (with diet cordial if I am feeling really snacky), and then go back to bed. Ways of dealing with it really come down to: 1) having a unplanned, uncounted snack, 2) trying to willpower…

Me: 11* LNS: 2 Streak: 3 Getting back in the groove.

Me:8 LNS:1* I am sorry to break my streak today, but happy that I restricted it within my calorie goals, and to fruit. Even though I made better choices, it was still an unwanted snack.

Me:8 LNS:0

Me: 7 LNS: 0 No kids so a later dinner really helped tonight.
-
Me: 6 LNS: 0 Hip hop dancing tonight instead of snacking.
-
Me: 5 LNS: 0 As I get tired, this is becoming more difficult. Early bedtime tonight.
-
Me : 4 LNS: 0. My hubby is sitting next to me drinking beer and eating chips. But I had my planned dessert and am surprisingly ok with not having more.
-
Me:3 LNS:0 Tonight was really hard. I tried a low cal jelly, but still felt really snacky. Held out for an hour and then had a mango, but did not have the biscuits in the cupboard. Still under my calorie goal, so I am counting it as a win.

Me: 1; LNS: 0

I'm in. I do great until the kids are in bed and then binge, so this challenge is just what I need.

Paying exhorbitant rates for internet access while on vacation just to keep your streak.

I had to look up what half and half was. Just use normal milk. (I use 2% light milk, but that would be even more of a shock).

That if I lost weight I would stop grinding my teeth (and the only way to do this is to eat an all green diet). I found treating my anxiety a more effective option.

Update time: SW (jan 1): 277.9 CW (jan 23): 273.9 GW (mar 27): 262.9 Not too bad considering that my first week of January was more miss than hit.

For the volume measurements for liquids, many measurements including both cups and tablespoons can vary in volume depending on your location, so you are better off logging in millilitres.
-
Since you are Australian, one thing to remember is that this site generally does not use metric volume measurements. 1 cup on the site is not 1 cup in Australia (220ish vs 250ml), and a tablespoon is out too (15 vs 20 ml). It caught me out in the beginning, but now I use ml measurements instead of cups and tablespoons.

Hi guys, there is a 50lb+ group that you are welcome to check out if you want to find more friends. You can find it in the groups section. Unfortunately mfp is eating the link. I have 100+lb to lose and am happy to make friends.

I am a bit young for this post, but have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was a kid. While I exercise to help my mood, if I do too much then I need to have a rest day the next day. I make sure I take my medications, including paracetamol, as needed to be able to function. Past that, for me it is mainly diet. I can't rely…

I like the way you think.

Look at the overall trend and the pace of loss. For example, when I started, I lost 3 kg in the first week and a half. Most of that was probably water weight. Since then, I have been losing steadily as I should based on my calorie deficit. This is more likely to be fat. Ignore the daily fluctuations and look at what is…

Hi all, I just found this group, wish I knew about it a fortnight ago. I just finished w2d1 of Zombies c25k. I am trying to incease my running time in the free run at the end. W1d3 I did 1 minute on one minute off for the last 10 minutes, today was 1:15 on 1:15 off and just seemed so much harder. Same speed (run 4mph).…

I find that it only re-adjusts when I edit my goals or weight settings, not when I enter a low weight. It isn't a problem for me as I keep it on mini goals, but if you have it set for you ultimate goal then go into diet/fitness settings, and it will recalculate.

I'm in. Name: Beth Age: 32 Height: 5'2 Start Weight (1st December): 276 Goal Weight (1st January): 270 1st December: 276 Hoping to keep going after a good October & November.

You can delete meals in the fitbit app, and/or you can try forcing an update (if they are linked) by adding to your mfp diary. I had it go skewy for a few days last month but it sorted itself out eventually.

I am on 7.5mg per day, and currently losing. For me I pre-pack my days meals and snacks in a cold pack and only eat from that. It is the only way I can stay in my calorie allotment. If I earn more calories then I decide directly after a meal what I will have and pack it. Part of this for me was to learn to ignore my hunger…
-
I allocate calories for dessert. I am always going to snack at night, so I make it work.
-
Mine is set for 2lb per week and sedentry, but I have a fitbit and eat back all the calories it gives me + half my workout calories. I also have a lot to lose so will be at this for a while before I have to drop it down.

If you do a lot of your steps whilst using your hands (carrying things or washing up) then I would get one that clips to your clothes rather than a wrist placed one. You can get aftermarket clothes clips for the flex on ebay though.
