35 pounds gone...went from 20-22 size pants to 16
Went on a clothes shopping trip today...didn't buy a lot since I still have a long journey ahead of me (65 pounds to go) BUT I did fit into size 16 jeans!! I'm down to 205 pounds..so bad I want to see the scale get below the 200 mark. I know it will happen but it's the next milestone I want to happen sooner rather than…

Anyone get a skin rash on areas where you're losing fat?
Once I hit 20 lbs loss I started having little pin mark size rash on the areas where I've noticed the weight is dropping from most...trunk/belly, thighs...but then also my back. I googled info about wt loss and rashes and read a lot of entries on various websites about fat cell toxins being released when they are shrinking…

Jean size has gone from 22W to 18!
Went shopping yesterday because after losing 26 pounds my current jeans and shorts were too loose. Just to get started I grabbed some size 18 stuff figuring I'd have to head back for a bigger size. They all FIT!! This is a huge step for me not to have to be in the "W" section (as in 20w, 22w). I only bought a few items…

Still getting used to allowed cals being bumped up
Not so much on my off days but on the days I work (nurse) 12 hr shifts by the end of the day my MFP goal has gone from 1340 to as high as 1900. It will increase throughout the shift because I am running around so much (5 to 6 miles, per FB). So I will spread the food I bring with me throughout the shift and then still have…

Fitbit tells me 11590 steps=12.5 miles (nurse)
Wore it for first time yesterday and it was a busy busy night. By the end of the 12 hrs it said I did 11590 steps and 12.5 miles. Yet when I look up miles/steps taken via Google it says 10,000 steps equals 5 miles. Does what FB tells me sound right?

Fitbit calories are kinda freaking me out
I'm sure it's prob just that when I started MFP a few months ago I solely went by their daily cal limit of like 1350 and since adding FB and all my activity is added in, the daily allowed cals have been bumped up by 300 to 500 cals each day. I'm averaging 11,000 to 12,000 steps a day cuz I'm a nurse and am on the go a lot.…

MFP diary adds foods/cals to the NEXT day sometimes when I do it on my phone
At first I thought I was clicking on the wrong thing but I started doing it slower and double checking that the screen said "today". But then after I tap the check mark to add it to the list, it pops up under "tomorrow's" diary list. Is this an ongoing glitch or my phone? The first few steps will say "today" but then it…

24 days in and my eating habits have dramatically improved
24 days, 9 pounds! I've noticed since I've started eating smaller portions of different foods every few hours I feel bloated and heavy after eating a sit down restaurant meal. Went out to lunch yesterday and got vegetable quesadilla (I'm vegetarian) and all day I had a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. Before…
