Girl you are BAD! You betta just go 'head with ya bad self!

Absolutely! You could purchase a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). They work great! They keep track of your heart rate as you exercise so it can tell how hard you are working. My only suggestion is to make sure you get one with the chest strap. It's most accurate. I've had 2 and the Timex one I had was no good. The calorie count…

In my experience, it's been more about eating the things that actually SATISFY hunger. Once you eat more of that, there's no more room/cravings for junky stuff. What I have noticed is that if I eat a tub of pringles.... I'll definitely want more pringles. Or something else with the same flavor pallet. I recently watched a…

It's interesting because if I do get to 160, I'd be a size 6. This numbers game/variety between all of us really fascinates me. Some people will weigh less but wear the same size as me.

This is so fascinating!! I'm also 5'7 and this is a HUGE range of weight!! I'm currently at my heaviest, 180, and I'm hoping to get to the 160 range. That is as small as I'm willing to go. Anything smaller than that, I look quite ill.

Good point!! You're absolutely right. I'm only looking to lose between 15-20 lbs. Maximum 25 lbs. You make an excellent point! And you're surely right... I've got the syndrome bad, lol. I think I do need to put the scale up for a few days :) Thanks!

Wow. This is awesome!! Thank you so much! I love love love sodium. I can't lie. Yikes. Soooooo, I will try to decrease my sodium. I think most days I'm under my requirement, but maybe I should just pay attention. Thx girl!

It's hard to tell. The scale keeps fluctuating so much. I *think* I lost 4 lbs. But after dinner yesterday the scale surely said something different. I've been weighing myself everyday for the last 3 days (at different times a day... which I know isn't good.) because I felt like I was doing pretty good. But it seems like…

I'm wondering how viable a few of these are. I do have an HRM that I've been using for the past week to get an accurate measurement of calories burned/energy expenditure. Prior to that I was using whatever was in the database. I HAVE been weighing myself at different times. I'm just not sure what to trust! The morning? The…

I've been working out A LOT. At least 4 days a week. For the first 2 weeks I was "over" my calorie intake, even with exercise. So I will definitely stop doing that. :laugh: But this week I've been a tad under each day (no more than 200 cal). I know you can't be too under. But I guess I feel like I've been working so hard…

Hi! I'm new to the forums! I've used MFP for awhile, but I'm getting serious with it. Looking at your tickers have been really motivating for me! I've never been able to lose weight on purpose, but I'm serious about my health. This is the heaviest I've been in my whole life, and I think I'm too young to be overweight! I'd…
