Right now MFP is having major issues with various platforms and programs for syncing. Hopefully that'll be remedied soon before you get any new devices. :)

My Samsung Health app stopped, too. They goofed on something with syncing capabilities or something with the servers.

Samsung Health stopped working for me as well. Something with their servers must be tweaked since many people are having syncing issues across various platforms with MFP.

Name: Jenna Reddit username: jennburr Stats: 23/F Location: Wine Country, CA Would love to get a better idea of things to eat/meals to make by snooping your diaries. ;)

Thank you guys for the replies and information. I decided to start today with it and 1) found that I have had no hunger pangs at all whatsoever and 2) no desire for any snacking/sweet treats/carbs/etc. Now, I know it's just day 1, but I work in a bakery and am surrounded constantly by samples of bread, cookies, pies,…

at my current weight, I am predisposed to getting diabetes type 2. My father had it and my sister currently has it, but based on recent blood work from my endocrinologist he said that my levels are normal yet weight does need to go down or else I'm going to get diabetes. I wanted to ask about keto because I've heard that…

drink so much that you can't even figure out how to chew anymore, you got nothing to worry about after that.

Congratulations! Mind if I ask what you do for your meals?

Jeez, now I'm thinking maybe I ought to try out Paleo for a week, or even primal, just to see how it goes. I've done a few days so far of the Engine 2 Diet, a 'plant strong' diet. It's practically vegan with no oil, and I gotta admit, it's tough as heck when you're a huge foodie. I'm already really missing chicken, fish,…

oh hell yes

Hamstrings and glutes are usually the worst for me. For 2 days I would laugh every time I sat down in a chair or used the restroom because it was so painful.

1lb a week feels like a comfortable pace, as well! At least in my case since I love food so much. :flowerforyou: An 1,000 calorie deficit felt too aggressive, like when I tried the 1200 gig. I focused more on trying to lose it as fast as possible rather than slowly incorporating healthier options and choices to make it a…

About 2 weeks ago I was at 189.4 in the morning on a valid weigh-in day. About 4-5 days ago I was at 187.6 I believe it was, again a valid day. :) Although I haven't been logging it, I have increased water intake immensely which I feel has been helping in the process of losing. I used to be at 8-10oz a day of pure water,…

Yeah, trying to reach those protein goals! Needs moar chicken + greek yogurt. :) I'll keep closer to the low 1800 range to help with the pangs and also focus more on balancing my meals out so when I *do* need a snack, I've allowed myself that space in calories. Thank you!

I like how CNN-source man is nowhere to be seen. Good and plenty of info there SS, thanks!

Didn't bother seeing other responses, but if it hasn't been said and you're a fan of cucumbers, cucumber water is fantastic. I'm and oddball but drinking water plain is pretty gross to me, at least being able to add an 'essence' of a flavor in there really helps. Try it with orange, lemon, lime, mint, etc. A friend did…

Pretty sure there's been no trolling, at all actually. Perhaps googling the term to relearn it's proper usage would be a good start. And in terms of sticking with what works, no low-carb can work as well (unless, as previously stated, there's issues with diabetes/PCOS/etc. that may affect the success).

Bumpin' for a few more responses/perspectives :)

That's exactly what I considered, too. Stress/depression tends to lead to comfort food/snacking, which all adds up. Funny enough, I work in the bakery at my store and she used to come in at least every day if not every other and get 2 German Chocolate Brownie Bites - probably 250-280 calories. She doesn't get them anymore,…

Well before "ummm no"ing it off, maybe try it. It could give you a better start to some of your days. Don't knock it til you try it. Perhaps it's time to see a dietician so you can begin properly eating? You CAN definitely get enough nutrition AND lose weight, you just have to make the right food decisions. Not eating…

Thank you guys and gals. :)

In conjunction with proper nutrition and eating, yes. There have been some good results posted on here! A few months back I did Ripped in 30 (a step up from 30 Day Shred IMO) and within those 30 days definitely felt stronger, clothes fit better, and a few inches lost (I only say a few since my eating at the time wasn't the…

Search 'In Place of a Road Map' on here. Read. Succeed.

Eat above 1200 if you can. Any nuts in the cupboard? Make up a quick scramble with some cheese? Nothing really too fancy, but it's better than being below 1000 calories.

30 Day Shred is from Jillian Michaels (unless there's some other 30 Day Shred I haven't heard of). I'd recommend starting with that, then when that 30 days is up, check out Ripped in 30, again by Jillian Michaels. And take measurements over the scale, personally. Day 1, weigh yourself and measure, and in 2 weeks, weigh…

I don't but have most definitely been looking into getting one and from now on, taking lunches to work with me rather than guesstimating what I get off the salad/hot bar (work at Whole Foods, at least there's access to some good stuff!) Any recommendations on a good scale or one you prefer? Also, thanks Sarauk for the…

Is it possible for someone with a daily burn of 2300-2400 at 5'3" 190lbs (starting weight 193lbs), who's been eating at 1650-1750 for 3+ months, eventually adapt to having that deficit and have it turn into more of a maintenance? This daily burn also includes no exercise, simply from an active job + body composition…

Lower stomach as in the pooch? I always figured FUPA was an enlarged, fatter mons pubis (right above the pubic bone, tends to have a bulging effect).

For thighs and abs and easy on the knee joints... first thing that comes to mind is swimming, if you have access to a pool. In between seasons of my old soccer days, I'd hit the pool fairly often to keep my legs and core strong (needed that core strength for goalie work :happy:). For abs there are multiple exercises you…

I don't believe many MFPers are ushering people to just jump into something without any type of research, practice, and safety. If anything, most would encourage proper form and a healthy development into strengthening themselves. Plus, this is the Internet - you're always going to have a few that may spout out some bad…
