Last time I had this issue, I had to restart my fitbit. You plug it in using your USB cord, then hold down the button on the side until it kicks off, then back on. Solved my issue and I haven't had once since.

1. I've made it through two tumblers of water so far today 2. I avoided Starbucks this morning and instead had a banana 3. I'm consistently getting better at logging all my food every day, even if I overeat. Being honest with yourself can be hard.

My husband and a coworker both had sciatica. It can take months of not years to heal if you keep upping your exercise too quickly. Both people I knew started doing short daily walks and physical therapy to strengthen their back muscles and lose weight. Both took over a year to be pain free. Just don't rush it. My husband…

Ahh, I forgot a major point. I'm breastfeeding so no dairy for me since he can't handle it. I love the idea of a lactose free milk. I looked at Target and a local grocery store but they didn't have anything like that. I also looked for soy yogurt since I miss it also but it's been a no-go so far.. I wonder if Walmart or…

I wear 30Gs and I was running (at least before my pregnancy). I agree with PP; running is fine, just make sure you get the right bra. Also, what really helped me was ensuring I did weight training 2-3 days a week. I actually started weight training about 2 months before I started running. It really helps prevent back pain…

My company sponsors events that are 5K walks and bike rides at area parks. They get fitness points that go towards reducing their insurance premiums by participating. We also do things like healthy cooking classes that are done by places like Wild Oats or Whole Foods to teach people better eating.

We used pillows to traverse the hot lava, which my daughter does now :smile: . We also made blanket tents. As a kid..I leapt 2-3 feet out of the bed in the morning to keep the evil man with the needles lurking under it away. I had bottle rocket fights. I climbed out the rickety old window on the second floor of our barn to…

1. Please don't throw a bunch of T-bone steaks, KC Strips, and everything you need to throw a fabulous party onto the belt, ***** loudly about the expense of food, then hand me your EBT card, which once you are done, still has over $400 in funds on it. 2. Don't request that I put a third of your stuff back after you reach…

aprildawn81 < Amazing that you pushed out a 9 lb kid. You look great!

My husband and I are not very religious, so for us, it didn't matter that much while we were dating. I am more religious than my husband. He follows the "we're experiments from another planet" philosophy while I follow the "there is a higher power" one. We both went to church when we were younger. We both agreed we would…

I was 27 with the first one and I'm 31 with the second on the way. I think 27 was a good time because if I would have waited a few more years, hubby and I would have been so set in our ways we may not have had any. We were living it up! But I wouldn't give up my little girl for anything. I would have been way to immature…

If I don't have my scale, I typically tell myself that 3-4 oz of meat is about the size of a deck of cards.

I hardly ever go over my sodium intake unless I have a weak day and I've even reduced my goal from the MFP default. I've dropped mine by: 1. Never adding salt to foods 2. Switching to frozen veggies (canned veggies have over 300mg per 1/2 cup!) 3. Checking the content on my purchased foods and picking the lowest 4. If it…

Whole chicken can still be injected with the saline solution and be fed antibiotic food and steroids before butchering. Gotta watch those labels!!

I'm a 30G. If you are looking at just plugging in the numbers into a random BMI calculator, they aren't going to alter it by much. You're probably looking as 2-3 lbs per breast. If you are actually looking for your percentage of body fat, it won't impact that either since they don't pinch that area during measurements. I'm…

Kale chips aren't too bad. The trick is watching them closely to make sure your don't burn them. Here's the recipe I use. 1 bunch kale 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon seasoned salt 1.Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper. 2.With a knife or kitchen shears…

My super tiny waist and ribcage (yes, please attack me haters, I'm used to it... that's the negative side to the tiny trunk) . I look like I've been corsetted or something. And my nails; they always look like I just got done with a French Mani.

I say start cooking for 2-3 days and let him feast on leftovers until you get home. Also, keep a bowl of fruit lying around as a healthy snack. It sounds like it's time for him to take some cooking lessons. At 15, my brothers and I were able to make basic meals for ourselves if the parents were out late for some reason.…

I eat a little over 1300 calories a day and I'm close to the end of my journey. Just note: The calories are determined based on your height and current weight. I agree that MFP puts it a little low. When I held to their original 1240, I was starving and dropping weight much faster than the .5 lbs a week I wanted. I just…

Do you have any other symptoms like upset stomach or mood swings? I can't see your diet but are you mainly veggies with few meats?

1. Make small lifestyle changes over time. Trying to toss everything out and hit the ground running is really hard. Little things like switching to whole wheat bread and walking 30 minutes even once a week get you started down the road to a healthier you. 2. Understand that it does take time and falling off the wagon is…

I used to worry about getting older. 31 was a sad birthday because I was no longer attached by proxy to the 20s anymore. I remember looking back and thinking I'd never have the energy and body that I had at 21... But then I realized that when I hit 41, I'd look back and wish I had my 31 yr old body, so maybe I should stop…

I typically use real butter because it's easier for your body to process since it's all natural. I only use about a tsp with my eggs regardless of what I happen to use that day (Real butter or Brummel and Brown). I'd say try heating your skillet just a touch more before adding the eggs. My number one reason for them…

I know the secret! Go to the supplements aisle and look for L-Lysine. I suggest the 500 mg tablets. As soon as you feel one coming on (my lip gets a hard spot on it) take 3 - 500mg tablets throughout the first day. Then take 2 - 500mg tablets over the next few days until it's gone. If it's already too late and the sore is…

I knew my husband for 3 1/2 years before we started dating. We dated for 6 months before we got engaged. We were engaged for 4 months before getting married. We got married when I was 23 and he was 26 (same age as when we were engaged). We've been happily married for just over 8 years. :smile:

I don't buy frozen dinners specifically because of the sodium. I have high blood pressure and stroke history in my family, so I try to keep my sodium lower than MFP suggests. That being said, I DO typically cook with the expectation of it lasting 2-3 days. We take leftovers for lunch and have a Hodge Podge night once or…
