  • Bonjour, je suis francaise mais residant aux US depuis tres longtemps. Je fais des allez/retour en France 3 fois par an pour m'occuper de mon pere ( grande banlieue parisienne, pas loin de EuroDisney) Je suis sur ce site depuis plus d'un an, c'est le meilleur site de support que j'ai trouve. J'ai atteint mon but depuis le…
  • I am 5"5, my hubby is 5"3, best thing come in small packages, lol.. we have been together almost 30 years. I used to wear high heels way back and he never minded, actually he thought the looks we were getting were rather funny. What he lacks in height he makes up in million other ways. The inside is what counts.
  • EVERYTHING should be added and accounted for, not logging one thing leads to another and so forth. Either you stick with the plan or you don't. It should become second nature. There are no such things as "free food" as advertize in other diet plans, being on MFP is not a diet, it is a very helpful tool to stick to a…
  • I wish I could figure out this darn picture posting, lol.... anyway if you right click on the link it will take you to my page. Thanks for the compliments.:blushing:
  • this is really getting on my nerves Why is the d..n thing only showing half of the picture. I have re sized them to almost nothing
  • second try, I have followed instructions, this is aggravating and frustrating
  • 280, darn, I just pictured it on my kitchen table, what a mountain.
  • Make sugar free freezer jam it is awesome and super easy all you need is Splenda and "Balls NO COOK fruit pectin" both available at any grocery store. I make lots of it in the spring and enjoy it year around.
  • Your BMR is based on Height, weight and age and how active your day is. It sounds like yours is calculated as being totally sedentary ( hardly move throughout the day) 1500 cal is what your body needs to survive. If you exercise, are on your feet all day or stay active then you start burning more calories and should add…
  • C25K is great, I am now running 30 to 40mn straight. 6 month ago I could not run more than 60sec.
  • Definitely have to try that one next time, it is hilarious
  • Awesome except for one small mistake..............IT IS "GO NOLES"
  • I love my fitbit as well. One thing I noticed though, I live in a very hilly area and run/walk a lot, fitbit seems to view the uphill as climbing stairs which to me is fine since my uphills here are steep and equivalent to stairs in my opinion. It also automatically adds to MFP your calories burn so you do not enter those…
  • Outstanding dedication. Congratulations on your success and be very proud. Keep us posted on your progress.
  • Corsets gave women of the 19th century very small wait (I have one of my great great aunt's undergarment, she had an 18" waist) and some women nowadays have done it too, that does not mean they have squeezed the fat out and I would not recommend it. Tight clothes will make you look fatter and most likely will attract…
  • Just log as walking. I do the same, it does not burn more (well maybe a few but not worth noting). On the plus side it will help strengthen and tone your arms and legs.
  • your body is 20% exercise and 80% food, if you do not eat the right food, exercising will not make it better. there is a lot of truth in "you are what you eat". This advice came to me from a friend who is a hardcore runner and had just finished the Atlanta 100K. He also is a nutritionist.
  • My vice is wine and cheese (I am french, lol...) Dark Chocolate is third on the list.

  • Just got mine yesterday and it does show more cals than MFP. I have also checked on other ways of calculating what you need in a day through another website which gives different datas as well. I find that fitbit is a good average between all datas. Everybody is different so I supposed it will be a touch and go until I…
  • In France tradition is crepes which is a paper thin and filled with either sugar or jam, although since Nutella has been on the market it has become #1 filler. there
  • I will be making "crepes", that being a french favorite, I did invent a much healthier version made only with oat bran, oat fiber, egg whites and 2% hood milk. They are therefore gluten free as well (about 40 cal/crepe). They of course do not taste like the real thing but they are pretty darn good. I use them with either…
  • YES, YES AND YES. Guessing will put you back where you started. No matter how good you think you are, you are not. There are only a very few fortunate, those who have been at it for years who might possibly guesstimate, but you are not one of them, otherwise you would not be asking. You decided to take the healthy route,…
  • WATER,WATER,WATER......it is a KEY ingredient to successful weight loss. 8 glasses is a minimum at your weight. The ideal amount of water for you would be 8 glasses plus 1 glass for each 10lb of extra weight. I know it sound like an incredible amount of water but it is important that you try and have as many as possible.…
  • You look great, amazing results. I am fortunate and do not have the saggy belly issue but I have the arm wings and really would like to have those removed. I wish someone out there on MFP had the procedure done already and made it known to help with the decision.
  • Amazing results, I definitely think I am going to invest in that program as soon as I am done with C25K program which I started 3 weeks ago.
  • For me it is cheese, french cheeses to be exact. I travel 3 times a year to France and bring back an average of 25lbs of various cheeses which I freeze. Once every other week I will defrost one and try to portion it out but I have been known to eat a whole one with my homemade baguette and of course wine has to be part of…
  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stunning, you are absolutely gorgeous and deserve all the compliments coming your way. Your accomplishment is beyond words. Except for about a handful of individuals with health condition, anyone saying they can't lose weight just does not know what determination and willpower are all about. A…
  • First of all, looking at your picture, it does not look like you need to lose a tremendous amount of weight, so that is one reason it is going slow. Second you say you just got off the pill another reason for fluid retention and change in your metabolism, it could take a few weeks for your body to get adjusted. And third…
  • Hi, first I suggest you get a scale that is in decimal (kgs and grs) A pound is 454gr, an ounce 28gr. European also have the decimal system and they do not give info per serving but per 100gr which requires a bit of calculation for someone like me visiting from the States. It really is not that difficult. Actually if you…
  • Just started C25K and absolutely love it. Free app on IPhone, easy to use. Why wait till march, do it now. I go out is 30 degree temp. By the time I get home I am sweaty. Unless it rains I am out there (you burn more cal in the cold weather too, that's an extra bonus)
