I'm in! I am a 46 yo female, 5'5, 160#. My virtual it's to lose 15 lbs. Been using mfp on and off for a year. Got discouraged before because measuring and walking 4 miles, 4-5 days per week has not moved the scale. Then someone suggested I 'eat back my burned calories' which was confusing. I was told that my body was not…

I agree. I am currently involved in a 12 step program and am so grateful to have the "tools" to work through a current medical issue that, left untreated, could lead a person (potentially) back to the bottle. We oftentimes hear of "substituting one bad habit for another". OP, I am glad you posted your honest concerns. Feel…

Being a vegan (don't like taste of most meats) adds to my 'challenge.' I love the jumping jacks idea... maybe burn more calories since I will be in full motorcycle gear (helmet, chaps, protective jacket)!! LOL:laugh:

I love the 'labeled' baggie idea. That is awesome! Thank you

Thank you for the tips! Yes, a Harley is a motorcycle :)

I thought about that too, insanityxthex. That I may be 'starving' myself (because of increased tiredness, as well). I will look into the thyroid idea. I have had issues in the past, so maybe it is time to recheck it. Thank you!

thank you everyone. I will be using my food scale and checking the cals. I have never focused in on the "confirmed by members" or "asterisk" before... will do that too.

thank you!

I agree, NerdyAdventur. I was floored to think I burned 1800 cals on my hike! Does anyone have recommended apps for tracking more accurate calorie burning numbers?

hi PikaKnight I do use a food scale to measure my foods, but not all of the time. I will be more diligent about doing that. I also have used MFP readings, which sounds like may not be the most accurate. To calculate my burns, I have also been using MFP readings... and sometimes go online to double check the cals. Thank you!

love this post! Thank you.

diary should be open now!

My diary is open now. let me know it you can view it. As far as measuring, yes, I measure everything. I rarely use dressing, ketchup, never use syrup or jelly. Prefer to skip the condiments most of the time.

I thought it was... just reset it to 'everyone'.

hi Everyone! I am SugarfreePanda! I am 39 years old, I work and attend school fulltime, and raise two teenage boys. Here is my story: I recently suffered from major fatigue (at least 6 months) and after a WONDERFUL hormone specialist I found recommended major bloodwork, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. I…
