I also have a Polar FT4 that I wear for cardio exercise. When you sync Fitbit and MFP it gives you an option to log your activities on MFP with a start/stop time for your exercise so that the reading isn't redundant. I think they are both great tools. Fitbit has really let me understand that I was greatly overestimating my…

I got a FItbit Zip on Amazon for $53 and I love it. The website is fantastic and syncs with MFP. It's really been amazing at showing me my true activity level. Realizing how little I actually move some days kind of upset me, but also motivates me to move more. I overall say it was worth the price. I've been working at…

I am literally in awe of your backside. You might have just renewed my commitment to squats and running. Seriously, that is the worlds best motivation.

Fat is a description. I'm am a woman with brown hair, brown eyes, and I'm fat. I'm also pretty, fun, intelligent, but I'm still in a fat body. They aren't mutually exclusive. When we stop using fat like a dirty word which implies so many more negative things like lazy/dirty/bad/unworthy of love then people will stop using…

I log mine as General Aerobics. For the 25 or so minutes of Start it Up the calorie burn total on MFP and my HRM are usually within 2-5 calories of one another. Good luck!

I'm 5'7''. This picture was taken when I weighed about 220. My wrists are about 6.75". I always felt big, but I never thought I was "big boned" because all of me is covered in fat and giant hips and boobs skew my perception. I never considered myself to be large framed, until I started playing rugby in college. The sports…

I'm going to say that as a bulimic, I completely believe that BED is real. I experience the intense need to just devour everything in sight. It's a miserable feeling to feel out of control of your own body. The doctors you visit might prescribe you medication or therapy. Some doctors might be really terrible and…

I've been on MFP for about 5 months tracking my food like it was my religion. Some days, it really really stinks. However, after a while it becomes second nature. I normally measure my portions. To cut back, I'd have 3/4 of a cup of something instead of the whole cup, or if I wanted to sprinkle cheese on my pasta I'd just…

I understand so completely. Today I was running outside during a rainstorm. A man on a bike passed me. He gave me a thumbs up and told me "You're doing great!". I almost burst into tears, because it took me a few moments to realize he was encouraging me, not ridiculing me. I've gotten so accustomed to being put down by…

I use the Sony MDR-AS20J Active Style Headphones. They have loops that go entirely around your ears so they don't fall out. I wear them running and biking and they don't slip out. My ears even get sweaty and gross but they stay in. I've had these for over a year and they still sound great. You can get them on Amazon for…

With your band size you might find some at a store like Lane Bryant. They tend to carry a good selection of sizes. Moving Comfort and Enell both have really great bras for bigger cup sizes as well! Good luck

I've been on Yaz and now it's newer folate added sister pill, Beyaz and neither have slowed down or stopped my weight loss. For me, Yaz doesn't make me feel sick like many of the other pills I've tried plus it really helps with my acne. Birth control choices are very personal. I hope this pill provides you with what you…

I'm going to put in another plug for the Champion Bras. I've also got one from moving comfort that is cut almost up to my collar bone, but it stops the bounce. I'm currently a 40DDD. I played rugby at the college level for a few years and it was the only thing that could keep me from getting a black eye. Sometimes you can…

Yes. I'm only 24 , but I've started taking a Black Cohash supplement to help a little with it. My mom started having awful night sweats when she began to go through menopause and it was recommended for her. She suggested as an option for me and it seems to help. Although I am a bit more sweaty on the placebo days of my…

I'm 66.9 inches so just a smidge under 5'7'' I've got a large frame and an extremely muscular build. I'm hoping to land somewhere in the 160s looking fit and toned, but also not having my head look disproportionate to the rest of my body. CW: 228 GW: 170 UGW: 155
