  • Good luck, every time I attempt to make it, it always ends up in the trash! I can't get the hang of it....
  • I have PCOS and hypothyroidism (been on medication for 25 years) I have lost 20 lbs over 5 months and just started Crossfit this week. It can be done, but just a little slower. You need to remember you are not in competition with anyone but yourself! There was 8 weeks I did not lose anything, but didn't gain either. Then I…
  • I'm going to get the book this weekend and start Monday August 12. I saw a patient yesterday who started the diet in February and has lost 45 lbs, I hadn't seen her in 6 months and WOW! I've been on MFP since April 2013 and have lost 12 lbs counting calories but haven't lost anything in the past 6 weeks....so I have…
  • My 12 year old son...he is such an angel...will read the nutritional information on food and let me know how many calories are in it. I picked him up from the airport and he gave me a package of peanuts, and he said, "Mom, these are only 70 calories, I saved them for you." I teared up, because he cared so much...
  • I started April 1, 2013 also, but I have only lost 12 lbs...I have not lost anything or gained in 6 weeks. I am so frustrated...I was at 1200 per day and have recently upped my calorie goal to 1600 per day 2 weeks ago. Eat more to weigh less...we'll see...at least I haven't gained in the past 2 weeks by increasing the…
  • Don't take this the wrong way... But... The "girls" look much perkier in the after pic! Good job on your success!
  • I personally go to Goodwill and buy a couple things in the size that fits at the moment super cheap. I'll wear my pants until the are literally falling off me and then I go. I can't afford a new wardrobe in every size so this works for me. Our Goodwill around here is clean, organized, great brands, and I buy alot with…
  • I like it because it takes into account the hills I walk/run up. The calorie count is higher than MFP but I think that's the reason why MFP doesn't know about the hills or how much of an incline. Info matched perfectly with my fitbit on the calories burned during my run.
  • I am on WK3 Day3 which I tried to do tonight but couldn't finish because of the heat so I will attempt it again on Friday. This is the first time it's actually been HOT outside and that might be a problem for me. I enjoy the outside but have to slow my pace at the first 3 min run because it starts as I approach the hill!…
  • gained 3lbs and I updated it on my profile....next week is gonna be a killer loss for me!!!
  • Had to punch a hole this morning! Pants falling off and belt did not help!
  • I'm in week 3 and was amazed I ran for 3 mins straight. After I got through the first cycle of 3 mins I convinced myself I could do it again the next cycle. It's all mental! I slowed my pace and completed it. Will be doing day 3 tomorrow.
  • mine wasn't working either. I entered my weigh in on my phone first and it didn't change so I re-entered it on the desktop and it didn't work right away (this was yesterday) but later in the afternoon it reflected the correct about lost. Just think there is a "bug" in the system from what I've been reading the last couple…
  • I took off 2 weeks and did hip stretches...picked up where I left off after i no longer felt pain!
  • Will you get me one at that price!?!? Don't pass it up, grab it today!
  • I'm giving it one more week before I increase other sites states I should be eating 1700-2200 daily! I just have to change my way of thinking. The lower calorie worked in the beginning but now I am more active so I need to adjust Its all mental I just need to do it because nothing is happening where I am!
  • mouthwash or brush your teeth! Everything tastes bad with the minty flavor in your mouth!
  • I downloaded Endomondo the free version, but I think I might purchase the app to get all the benefits and a HRM. I need to play with it a bit more before I do that though, but so far I like it!
  • looks like you joined in April? I started back in April and also at a stall for the past couple of weeks...but I'm not giving up! I read that changing your caloric intake every couple of weeks may start the metabolism and start losing again....I'm gonna stay at my goal this week then change it next week to see what…
  • cauliflower.....cut up the head place on lined cookie sheet drizzle olive oil on it and sprinkle garlic salt...that's it. Place in oven at 400 degrees cook until cauliflower is tender 30-45 minutes. If you like this you can experiment with other veggies the same way!
  • Same here Kinda disappointing to not see the true number!

  • Mine too! He has lost 10 lbs but only because of me...lol I cook and I even talked him into running with me last night :) It's a win-win for both of us!
  • Make sure the dental office is coding the procedure correctly. Slot of times the insurance will pay alternating prophy and perio cleanings. Each insurance is different it is true they don't want to pay on things after all they are a business and want to keep their money to make a profit. I've actually had to have the…

  • Perio disease will never go away-ever. The reason for the 3 month cleanings is to maintain and prevent further bone loss and the progression of the disease. Most insurances will cover s periodontal cleaning 4 times a year after the scaling and root planing has been completed at 80%. Some don't but it is worth the out of…

  • I'd like to know what app also! I can see the difference in you for sure!
  • I like your name :) Not too many of us out there. BTW, can't see the picture very well..
  • I do! Especially if I am going out for dinner at a restaurant! Lets me know what I can eat before the "dinner" . I also log as I am cooking to help me measure and weigh the food before I eat it, that way I can make adjustments if needed.
  • you fixed it :) I don''t know how long you have been tracking your calories, but you did say today was the first day on this site. Maybe you are all gung-ho when first starting this process and that makes you under your goal. there are days I don't reach my goal either but never by 1000 calories, eat an avocado (they are…
  • you don't have your diary set to "public" so nobody can see it...go to your profile and you can change it.
