127 and 5'8"?! You don't need to lose any weight; you just need to gain muscle!

Nope. :\

Totally. :-)

It's good to charge during your inactive or sleep times. I charge when I'm napping on the couch during a lazy day/evening (a few steps to the bathroom during a movie aren't going to count for much) or when I'm too busy to leave my desk at work. It's got a battery life of 5 days, give or take. It may drain slightly faster…

This. And Oreos. And refrigerated cookie dough. I'm too afraid to try the cookie butter. :o ...Wait, has nobody said Reese's yet?!!

Let it go. It'll be okay tomorrow! :)

No, do not double-log your walk. If the Fitbit app seems to show an appropriate number of steps or amount of activity during that time, leave it alone. And capecodlady8, I do not recommend linking either account to Endomondo! When I did, it took my info from Fitbit, copied it to MFP, and then copied it back to Fitbit, so…

When Fitbit syncs up with its calories burned, MFP will adjust for the *additional* activity that would be considered over and above what's normal for your activity level. I used to have my activity settings on sedentary since I'm at a desk all day, and MFP would add a lot more calories from my Fitbit activity. Once I…

Do you have your activity settings in MFP on sedentary, lightly active, active...?

String cheese or cheddar snacks are great to have around. Aldi's Greek-style yogurt is good and inexpensive. At times, I'll have an ounce of peanuts & raisins together and flash back to our lunch menu in elementary school. I always buy a large bag of natural almonds (if they're roasted/salted or flavored, I'll eat too…

Eliminating foods leads to binging. If you're able to do it, good for you, but knowing I can count on a scoop of ice cream at night keeps me from saying "eff it" and eating whatever I encounter throughout the day.
-
Yyyyeah... I'm pretty sure an hour or two of breathing and pumping blood will burn it off, if I'm within my calories for the day. Thanks, but no thank you.

Don't be too hard on yourself if you do go over a little bit. Remember: the number you're given is ALREADY a deficit. If your goal is set to 1lb/week, that's 500cal/day. For example, 2100 burn-500 deficit = 1600 goal. If you get to 1650, heck, you're still 450 in deficit! Good job! If you get all the way to 2100, you're…

You don't have to stop eating! Just go for a walk and earn some more calories. Moving around makes you feel good about yourself, get some fresh air, and you get to eat MORE FOOD. Starving yourself is the fastest way to make yourself quit or binge. As far as logging veggies: I use lazy measurements with something that has…

You really do have to weigh your servings. Did you know that, by law, packaged foods can be as much as 20% off? Food manufacturers get less flak from regulators if the packages are overfilled rather than underfilled. Remember that: you *could* be eating up to 20% more than you think you are. You can always get a cheap, $13…

That took an incredible amount of dedication and will. Great job!
-
My whoosh is usually 2 lb or less, but yup, that's how it works! Keep drinking lots of water to help it along.
-
And I've totally called other women "chicks" too. Just to mix it up sometimes. :)

He may be experiencing some emotional issues if he's soothing himself with copious amounts of food. Perhaps he's overwhelmed, having stress at work, or is struggling with something he's kept from you. Please try talking with him, and (perhaps along with pre-marital counseling) have him see a professional. I notice you've…

I don't know whether I bruise easily, but I am a little clumsy. Since I'm very fair, any bruises show up all too clearly!

You're not you when you're hungry. Have a Snickers instead.

365andstillalive: Very well put!

LOL (I sure hope that was sarcasm)

Having an immune system is only half of the equation. If you understand how it works, you'd know why the shot is so important--your immune system is much more effective if it recognizes the virus! Get in the habit of getting your shots and taking care of yourself. If your immune system was already compromised and you were…

I love the sound of this! It's the most optimistic approach. Meet the locals, go to events, and find the holes in the wall with great food. It's the key to enjoying any new place, whether traveling or just getting settled in.
