I found it marginally helpful to bookmark a direct link to the USDA database.

Others noticed in my face first. I felt it in my calves first. Was nearly 70 pounds down before the midsection started shrinking.

Just vacuum sealed three gallons of vegetable soup in pint jars. They calculated out to 202 calories, 14 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. Add a 120 calorie half toasted cheese sandwich and I have a filling lite lunch with good macros. B)

Maybe just a matter of semantics but perhaps the better way to look at it is "I felt like crap yesterday because of something my doctor said". This way conveys you are in the position of power and can control how you feel no matter what doctor rude or anyone else says. ENJOY

I walk mostly. Been slowly transitioning my favorite route into a run. Working well for me. Down 76lbs in a few months.

Today's workout is rain delayed.

Walking in place as been a boon in the "move more" side of the weight loss equation. I fill those multiple daily instances of short waits with steps. By the end of the day I have burnt several hundred extra calories.

My local store only carries the classic ranch and avocado cilantro. Don't care for cilantro but the classic ranch is quite good. Not hidden valley good but more than serviceable for the calorie count. It tasted a bit on the sweet side with an odd sweet pickle flavor I had to warm up to. Delighted to find a lower calorie…

@trigden1991 that step count is higher than my usual as a result of competing in the Reddit Fitbit league. If you are a Redditor and find the Fitbit Workweek Hustles motivating search out the subreddit . It is set up nicely to progressively increase ones step total. The league is split into 7 divisions. The 6 lower…

Great work. Thanks for sharing it.

I think you are all bark and have no bite. I think you are all bluster and have no wind. I think within two weeks you will find a convenient reason to put off this whole fitness thing till a later date. Prove me wrong if you have it in you.

@jgnatca Are the two sauces a pick one or do you use both?

GoGo JoJo!!

Fuji rules! :p

The salad in a jar thing works well for me. Less than an hour of preparation on Sunday produces lunch for the work week.

Congratulations fellow traveler. We are on a similar path. B) I hit overweight BMI on 2/1, weighed in at 199.4 this morning and am working on transitioning a favored walk into a run by alternating running and walking every two minutes. ENJOY

My tip for cheap and healthy is to grow a garden. Even a raised bed or patio garden can produce a substantial amount of food. For example one tomato plant per person will likely mean you will not buy a tomato from the time they start ripening until winter. Add a few more and some quart jars and you wont need to buy tomato…

I set mine to sedentary since getting a Fitbit. The reasoning was on days I am sedentary the Fitbit will not effect my calorie allotment but when more active it will add calories. As opposed to an active setting which would allot too many calories on sedentary days. The trick is to periodically compare your MFP reported…

Not for weight loss but I once did a 32 day water only fast. An interesting experience.

I have seen BMI calculators which take frame size into account. Perhaps this article would be of interest to you.
