I don't even track it. I track Potassium, iron, fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

I dislike the word hate. I also am not a fan of hearing "I can't do it" or "You can't do it"

Might be more like 200 - 250. I stopped adding noodles to soup because if we don't finish the soup I can turn it into chicken pot pie and freeze it. Though I have also frozen chicken soup too! :) Enjoy it!

I don't eat much in the way of red meat, or meat in general, so I get a lot of iron from pasta and breads. I also get most of my potassium from potatoes and dairy otherwise I get hypokalemic. The next time my heart stops beating I want to be old not 30 and trying to order a cup of coffee!

40! 40 pounds down and 4 jean sizes and then at my goddaughters birthday party people were all "Hey, are you losing weight? You look great!" Perhaps because I was in clothes that fit instead of a size or 2 too big or perhaps because they see me so often they never realize. Who knows!

I'll stick with 1% in my coffee and skim for my midnight chocolate milk!

I make sure I work out on the weekends just to afford the 'fun calories' I drag my @ss to the gym on Sunday morning and Saturday if I can but always on Sunday! It has helped a lot!

Coffee brewed from grounds, sugar and 1% milk. LOL

16 months of doing Zumba, not changing much of what I eat, including a 25 pound gain due to getting both a concussion and the chicken pox and being laid up in bed for a few months and I am still down 40 pounds. Would have been even more! I love Zumba! I started with the Wii game and moved over to classes. If you can borrow…

Mine is open to friends... Just no judging, I let myself have anything as long as it fits my metrics! :)

^This one!

liver... :sick:

Yes, I've dropped 2 bra sizes. I miss them, and I'm sick of buying bras!

Tom Petty!

Both of my parents have brown hair and my sister and I are both red heads... Genealogy is funny!

I'm a dying breed... :cry:

If you upped your activity level it would up your calories accordingly. I wouldn't log any activities that are walking based, just let fitbit do that. what are your workouts / how are you getting the 500 calories there? Through a HRM or this sites estimations?

I was keeping my level at sedentary and letting fitbit fill in the blanks but I was getting frustrated to see an additional 700+ calories get tacked on come the end of the day (I'm pretty active!) so I'm trying to revamp things and just upped my level to moderatly active and I've still got an additional 160 adjustment in…

Basically, you are not a sedentary person! Sedentary is that you have done NOTHING all day. You've taken nearly 7000 steps today!!! You're at least lightly active!

How many steps are you taking? Getting 200 - 300 calories is, what? 5 miles a day?

Just try doing the move to the best of your ability and modify it as needed?

Algebra at 1am :noway: ... Bumping this to read tomorrow! :laugh:

Please see a doctor!

Get tighter bras. Try them on at the store and jump in them. Padding will help as well. Had the same problem when I shrunk out of all my bras the last time!

LMAO Clever!

A good tailor or seamstress should be able to take it in for you! Shop around, you have some time!

The one you love. Honestly, it's that simple! Love it and you will do it more! I burn 500 calories with a weighted hula hoop in an hour per HRM and between 550 - 700 in a one hour session of Zumba per HRM depending on how hard I push. BUT I LOVE THOSE THINGS so I do them daily and can't wait to work out which makes them…

I have a box of pop tarts in my pantry and when I haven't come close to reaching calorie goal I will eat a pack. Seriously, people save the second one for later? I make my own food 80% of the time but the first time I entered Flour into a recipe I was floored to learn one cup was 440 calories! Oh, and 2 measly tablespoons…

I can see the ligaments move in my forearm when I type. It's so strange to see I was completely amazed like an infant discovering her feet and hands! :laugh:
