Whhops, forgot again. 2/27 check-in
Last Monday I didn't check in. No good news, but no bad news. I gained .2 lb for the past 2 weeks. I went out to eat for 2 nights in the past two weeks and that's what screwed me over. First, I got a burger at Yardhouse... big mistake. I told myself I'd replace the fries with salad and eat half the burger... Got the salad…

TDEE stories?
I wanna know what kind of experience people have using the TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) minus 20% method. I'm amazed at how anyone can eat 1200 cals a day and still work out for an hour... As is the case with a lot of people in my group of MFP friends. I believe in not exhausting/punishing yourself and I wanna be…

2/13/17 check in
Whoops, forgot to check in yesterday, but here I am... So my major concern is controlling myself on weekends. I did better than expected this past weekend and it was probably because I joined this group. I was thinking, "man, I don't want to report that I just gave in and ate what I wanted and too much of it." So Friday,…

Vent about spouse not being supportive
So I suggested to my husband he try cooking healthier and he started freaking out. He said I was trying to change him as a person. He said the way he cooks is who he is. I had no idea how to respond to that. I wanted to half laugh and half get upset. Like, really? Eating more vegetables will change a person? He made it…

Need suggestions/ideas on HR monitor
ok fine... I'm giving in.... so I'm on the market for a heart rate monitor that is relatively cheap and accurate. I did consider doing something like fitbit hr, but I've concluded I don't need the extra bells and whistles (like 24/7 monitoring and sleep tracker). I've seen models of a chest strap that link (bluetooth) up…

Looking for friends with open diaries
Hi there, I'm looking for friends with open diaries and will give me a thumbs up when I am under my calorie goal. =) I try to eat more on the natural side (I'd choose a boiled egg and apple for a snack over some "low cal" cereal bar most times) but I do admit I give in to eating some taco bell and pizza hut here and there.…

Push ups and arm flab
So I have set a new goal this month to work on strength. I don't, or maybe didn't, enjoy it but yesterday as I was doing push ups I noticed my arm flab wasn't jiggling as much! But I need more moves to keep me interested. I joined a class but sometimes I can't make it so I have to resort to making up something at the gym.…

Anyone have a good barley recipe (not soup)?
I got some barley and now I don't know what to do with it.... Does anyone have a good recipe that's not Chicken Barley Soup? Perhaps a salad I can pack for my lunch?

Need friends to keep me on track w logging
I need friends to help keep me on track with logging. I have a hard time logging on the weekends and sometime weeknight dinners. I do great with all other meals... It's just once the evening/weekend comes around I just want to throw up my hands and relax. I'd also like to see diaries in the 1500 cal range because i need…
