I signed up for this program through my work for free too. I'm on week 3. I admit, I'm not actually following it because it's stupid. I don't know why I keep watching the videos. Today I posted on their community boards about my difficulties with their "fist sized" amount of food. I'd had a big salad for lunch and I could…

As is Frontier. Very violent, very good - and Jason Momoa! ;)

A former coworker is kind of freaked out by little people. While on vacation, my other coworkers took all the pictures of Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) they could find and hid them all over her office. She'd open a drawer - Verne Troyer. She'd use three pieces of paper on her pad - Verne Troyer. Open an envelope flap - Verne.…

I like to inhale helium first. Then when I see my weight I swear in a really funny voice.

Every time I see a Sono Bello commercial my blood boils. They are selling liposuction like it's some miracle pill that will take off 50 lbs overnight with no effort! The "before and after" pictures are ridiculous. NO surgery or laser treatment makes that much of a difference. How do they not get shut down for fraudulent…

Ah! Must have missed that. Still an awful lot of apples! But, heck of a good buy.

SIXTY POUNDS??? Honeycrisps cost like $4 / lb. You really spent $240 on apples? :o You must REALLY love apples!

...and this attitude is one of the reasons I won't buy Apple. Seriously, Apple simply annoys me. With Android (at least most of the time) everything is interchangeable. My earbuds and chargers etc., fit my phone, which fits my tablet, which fits my old phones too. I haven't needed a new charger in years because they don't…

Country breakfast foods...like sausage and biscuits and bacon and gravy. I don't want that all the time...but when I do...Wow is that fattening!

I understand completely. About six months after my ex became my ex...he mentioned how much weight I'd lost. My response was, "It's amazing what you can do when you're happy." >:) Now...I gained it back eventually...but my initial motivation had nothing to do with that.

With your starting weight, it's VERY normal to lose very large amounts very quickly. I agree with the other folks, it tends to be water and may or may not come back, in part. Don't get discouraged. I also agree, 1800 a day seems quite low. I eat 1900 and am losing, at about 275 lbs currently.

I guess I wasn't really offering a food suggestion, and it may not be diet-friendly, but pasta was always my go-to date meal. Get jarred sauce (Ragu, etc.) and add a little basil/parsley/oregano while it's heating. If you're using red sauce, add frozen Italian style meatballs - they're fully cooked and you can toss them in…

One word - allrecipes.com Or is that two words? Or 3? They have GREAT recipes. Always read the comments - that's where they fix any problems the recipes may have. My first time cooking for a man, I told him I made awesome lasagna. Then I called my mother and asked her how to make lasagna since I'd never made it in my life!…

Pretty much everything in a restaurant. Eating out is much less fun in places that put the calories on the menu...but better than being surprised I guess. Had breakfast out at a Perkins. I know breakfast is always high unless you get egg beaters and turkey sausage or something equally boring...but the hash browns! They…

I'm really cheap...so I love the closet shopping. Yesterday I realized that I might have some old clothes I can fit now in a bag of stuff I'd shoved aside for charity/rummage sales/etc. a while back to get it out of my closet. Found a pair of practically brand new jeans (I bet I didn't wear them 10 times) that fit me…

It's also hard for people who see you every day to notice the difference. I have had exactly one person make a real comment on my 30 lb drop - a whole dress size for me. Yesterday I ran into a woman I haven't seen in about 3 months and she was like, "WOAH! Look at you!", while gesturing to my body. I was jeans that fit…

Math is the answer to life, the universe and everything. M is the 13th letter A is the 1st letter T is the 20th letter, and H is the 8th letter. 13+1+20+8 = 42

Wild mushroom and venison ragu over pasta. Should be right at 470 calories per serving.

This should be required reading for anyone who wants to lose weight or change their diet.

Cabbage sliced to 1/2 inch think "steaks" and brushed with olive oil and a garlic salt, baked in the oven for about an hour, is yummy! Also, the same basic thing or in chunks, wrapped in foil on the grill... We like to chop it into potato-chip size pieces and fry it in a large skillet with turkey smoked sausage and thinly…

Okay...well, I'm going to go in and delete my "fake swims" to make my diary right in a few. I was substantially over on calories and the fake swim put me under and I don't want to mess up my weekly total with that. I'm sure you have other things to do besides try to get this thru my head so, thank you very, very much. I'll…

Here is what it shows today. I haven't done a sync...that is to get my last steps of the day after 10 pm to show, if that matters.

Okay...so here's the thing...Fitbit STILL this morning shows my total burn at 2714. It never did go up by even the full 271 it said I was getting for swimming, nor did it seem to acknowledge the 628, other than to list the MFP entry in the activity list. :( I never deleted anything.

Ok. I'll do that. Thank you for your help. Just to see if I've got this though, shouldn't it have said fitbit burn 2788, the 2517 + 271 for the swimming?

Good lord, Now it says Fitbit cal. Burn 2714, MFP 3055.

yes. I did disable the negative adjustments, in an effort to fix this problem. ..,and now my steps are back.

Actually, Fitbit app shows calories burned as 2512, less than mfp says it shows by 5 calories. Or is that actual as opposed to estimated?

I can take screen shots all day. MFP app doesn't have any way to post them on my tablet. I can on my phone, but its harder to use.

Okay. That does help. Having put the workout in Fitbit, it still says the 2517 calories burned.

And no w my steps havdd dropped to zero!
