I was thinking it's pretty accurate because the calories burned not only have to do with the total minutes, but also your weight. So a person weighing 125 would not burn as many calories as a person weighing 200. I hope this helps (and is accurate HA)!

I noticed many of you are putting protein in your smoothies. What's the benefit? Thanks!

Congrats to you!:wink:

I have 70 pounds to lose. Count me in! :flowerforyou:

I'd love to join! I'm starting week 2 day 1 today. :)

You can do it! I'm impressed with the 22lbs! When I started I weighted 202 and then lost 15lbs. Since then I gained all of it back so I'm at ground zero. I'm discouraged, but am going to keep plugging away. I hope you do the same. Take care!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could buy, sell, trade or borrow calories??????

Thanks for all the support. I'll try to figure out how to make my food diary public. I'll also make sure to drink more water. I can definitely change up my workouts-usually I do a strong (free weights 3lbs/5lbs) class on M/W, water aerobics on M, swim 500yards on T/TH/F. I also walk for 35 minutes at least 2 times a week.…

I totally agree with the picture thing. Everyone else is thin....and then there's me ;(

Hated it!

Worst thing about being fat....feeling like I'm setting a horrible example for my children. If I can't even be a healthy weight, how can I expect them to? Best thing about being thin......feeling oh so sexy!

:flowerforyou: Congrats! You deserve it!:smile:

I know from experience it can do damage. Make up the calories with exercise if you can.

I look at it as a lifestyle change. I am more aware of what I put into my mouth. I also am now into making sure tI am active as much as possible. I do think it is ok to make brownies and have a low fat ice cream (a true portion now that I know what that really is) with a piece for desert if I want to spoil my family and…

I just made turkey goulash last night and it was delicious. 1lb ground turkey 1 medium diced onion 1 can diced tomatoes 1 can tomato sauce wheat noodles of choice frozen corn Spices I used: basil, garlic, garlic pepper, chili powder

Starting weight 184

Healthy life has bread with only 35 calories a slice, so if you want a two slice sandwich, try it. I love that it cuts the calories.

I just took a begin to spin class with my son and am VERY excited to start taking classes!

I have started doing Pilates and hope it helps me with these difficult areas. Good luck!

God made her exactly who she is for a reason. Her life has a purpose. She is special and unique and you love her.

I'm not much of a morning person either. I just try to get some form of exercise in every day, even if it's a 20 minute walk with my husband at the end of the day. Have a wonderful day and keep moving!

:flowerforyou: Stay strong and remember, it's a lifestyle change. Let it happen over time. Good luck! You'll do great if you stick with MFP.

Good luck!

I would love to be a part of this. How does it work? Is there a certain place we log in to stay in contact with each other? I currently run 3 miles on the elliptical at least 3 times a week, but I know it's not the same as running. I would like to get in a good position to be able to run a 5k without stopping. I walked…

What size can? What are the calories per serving? I can't wait to try this!!!

Stick with it, you can do it. Remember, it's a lifestyle change, not just a weight change. Keep up the good work and continue to let yourself enjoy the good stuff every now and then you don't feel like it is about what you can't eat, but about what you can eat. Have a wonderful day!

No, sorry I was not aware of that, even though I've been a member since last June. I'm still learning, hence the question. Thanks for the info. :happy:

Why is it suggested that we eat all of our calories? Isn't it true that we lose weight when we burn more than we consume? Just wondering!

How did you like the acai supplement from the local health food store?
