Overnight oatmeal. Make it the night before, grab and go in the am. Only thing that keeps me satisfied until lunch.

I just googled Leslie Sansone. What a great tip. It looks like you can get her workouts on you tube. It also looks like they are not that expensive to purchase. It looked like the reviews were good.

I am having the same issue. Friday was the last time it's showing that ithe synced.

I went from the one to the charge HR and I love it. I also looked at the surge, but way too big. I like the charge HR for a lot of reasons. Obviously the heart rate monitor, the convienence of looking at my wrist to get the time and then tapping to get the stats, and the sleep monitoring. I had the one for almost 2 years…

Try that. It might be the one you use for all fitbits. I have the charge hr and it is syncing. I actually went from the fitbits one to the charge and didn't have to do anything to sync with my new fitbit.

Overnight oatmeal- 1/2 cup oatmeal, container of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup any milk (I use almond milk), cinammon. Put in a small mason jar, shake up and put in fridge overnight. In the morning shake it up/mix it up, eat as is or add whatever you want (fruit etc..) and eat. Very filling and a lot of protein.

It will double it. Do one or the other. I don't wear my fitbit when I workout, I log my workouts.

I think if you check out the videos and visit the gym when the classes are running, you can see for yourself if they are something you would like. Some gyms offer a free week to try it. You said it's a big financial commitment, so see if you think it would be worth it.

I think you were clear...... "...I know it's because of my poor diet, and now that I'm ready to take my eating healthy seriously, I'm also ready for a new workout challenge...hence considering Les Mills."

IsaackGMOON, I think OP was asking for feed back on Les Mills and identified that she knows she needs to be more conscientious about food choices and logging.

I would say see if the gym will let you try it for a day and see if you like the classes. You could go to the Les Mills website and see sample videos of the classes. I take Body Pump 2X a week. That is the only time I do any work out with weights and it's a good full body work out. I really like body vive, which is a combo…

Once a week (on the same day), 1st thing in the morning seems to work best for me.

The "average" slice of pizza (12 inch) is about 250-300 calories a slice (they do vary though). If it's thin crust it will probably have less calories. Would you be "satisfied" getting it light on the cheese? It sounds like you planned for it, so have a couple slices. If you add meat, you will add a lot of calories. It's…

I bought the fitbit because I really wanted the sleep tracking too, but I found it was not accurate, so it didn't help much. If I was awake, but not moving, it didn't log that I was awake. I used the sleep monitor for about 2-3 weeks and then gave up, it didn't really give me helpful feedback. I do like my fitbit a lot and…

I did a lot of research before deciding on my fitbit one and it was an excellent choice. It syncs with MFP. I have had it since January 2014, and it works great. It still holds a charge for 2+ weeks. I got it on eBay for about $75. I am actually researching it again only because after seeing the apple nano ($120 at cost…

Put your goals into MFP and it will give you a percentage of protein, fats and carbs. You can track this in the nutrition section as you log throughout the day. You could start there and thee adjust it manually. I always go over on carbs and under on fat and protein. I have trouble hitting the protein target because I'm a…

You seriously think this has anything to do with your weight? At 5'7" and 130 pounds, you should not be looking to lose weight. You are right to be concerned about getting obsessed. You are thinking about doing this because you think this would make your boyfriend be more attracted to you. I know how you can lose 160ish…

You do realize that we're in the maintenance forum and therefore most of us are not trying to lose weight anymore, don't you? We're trying to learn how to have a life without gaining the weight back. Taking the occasional break isn't necessarily for the purposes of creating a "cheat" day. Maybe people are trying to learn…

I have the fitbit one and I really like it. I got it last January.

The best advice l have (and others have said the same) is to add calories back slowly, not all at once. Do 1300 for a week or so, then add another 100, etc.... good luck! It takes some adjusting.

It sounds like they are both linked so you are getting double credit. Changing 1 of the entries to 0 or 1 calorie burned is one way to adjust it. The other way is to just use one. Also, MFP over estimates calories so be careful not to eat them all back.

That sounds even better! I'm going to try that one

Plain not fat Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) with a packet of hidden valley ranch mix.

Typically 2-3 pounds but I weigh in the same day, the same time under the same conditions 1 time a week (1st thing in the morning on Saturday). I used a 20 week maintenance average as my goal and try to stay within 1-2 pounds of that to account for normal fluctuations.

I think if you feel that the support and accountability is helpful, then it might be the thing for you to get you started. I needed the accountability to give me the jump start I needed. I didn't do WW, but I did do a "Biggest Looser" type program at my gym and used MFP along with it. We had weekly weigh in, and beginning,…

Look on you tube, pinterest or even your cable channels. You should find something. It depends on what you are looking for. Do you have a flight of stairs? A jump rope? You can get some work out videos pretty reasonably like Jillian Michaels. I have seen them on Amazon and at BJ'so so you would always have a back up plan.

It's not easy for me to get to 10,000 unless I am doing a lot of errands after work. One of the ways I have been able to do it is to get to work 20 minutes early and walk around the building a couple of times (for 15-20 minutes). Another way is to walk during lunch or for 20 minutes before I leave. When the weather is nice…

If I am wearing my fitbit when I walk I don't log it in MFP so it's not counted twice. If I do other workouts I don't wear my fitbit and then log it on MFP. They sync with each other, so it will be included in both places

I'm 5'2" and when I hit my goal I waited 1 week to be sure, then added 50- 100 calories back. After a week, I added another 50-100. I did this until I went up to maintenance. I continued to lose, so I went below my goal. That gave me a 3 pound "cushion". My range is goal-3 so if I fluctuate, I am still under goal. I went 3…
