Protein bar or not really?
I have been really giving it my all! I have lost 23lbs already and would love to lose another 20lbs. As I am working out more I am noticing that I have some extra calories at the end of the day which is great but as I get closer to my goal I am wanting to narrow that gap. I love my granola bars -- I usually just buy the…

Working out Abs and Arms
I always feel like the more I read the more I get confused...lol. I walk 1 -1 1/2 hours on the treadmill a day -- Have been doing it for almost 2 weeks now. I am also throwing in C25K -- Monday - Wednesday - Friday So on Tuesday and Thursdays and either Saturday/Sunday - I would like to add some arm/abs into the mix. Where…

Just want to make sure
I am doing all I can to get the best accurate estimate for my day. I wear my fitbit 23.5/7 This past week I started walking -- varying speeds -- nothing too strenuous for an hour a day. My goal really was to hit my 10,000 steps before noon. Let my fitbit do it's thing. Did C25K W1D1 the other day and again just used my…

Love Walking so why not!
I finally started!! I wasn't doing too well with moving (walking, jogging..etc) my step count was barely anything. I was lucky to even come close to my 10,000 step goal. I mean some days were like 3,000 - 5,000 steps total ALL day :neutral_face: BUT I changed it all around!!! Tuesday - 13,316 steps for the day!! Wednesday…

Quick double check on logging
I haven't been using my HRM because most of my activity is walking so I just use my fitbit. I started C25K the other day and again just used my fitbit and went by it -- today I used my HRM and just wanting to double check -- I log exercise on the MFP side and let it adjust. Do I need to set the timer on my fitbit too? I…

Treadmill and Weights?
I have been trying to get an hour in on the treadmill but wanting to add some arm weights -- Am I better getting wrist weights? Or just grabbing some hand weights and mixing it up?

What can my daughter and I do to start?
I was thin my whole life so I never cared about diet or exercise -- it came natural. I grew up and grew out and now I am learning how fix it. I joined MFP in 2010 a year after having my last child and was successful in losing 30lbs -- I stopped calorie counting and life hit! I suddenly lost my dad in 2012, my grandmother…

What size is your Charge? or Flex
I am thinking of trying out the charge to see if the HR will work for me but when I measure the band it looks like I might be a large! My actual wrist size is 6.5" and that is tape measure tight. Small or Large?
-
Torn -- should I keep my Charge or not?
Love, LOVE, LOVE my fitbit one -- Love that it is tucked away and no one see's it! There isn't much I don't love BUT I like new things! Charge is new :) Picked one up today and it isn't horrible on my wrist (not a bracelet lover). I have found that it tracks when I am NOT moving. We went out for supper and as we sat at the…
-
To flex or not?
I have the fitbit one and LOVE it -- Love that I can tuck it away and no one knows I am wearing it. I am not a bracelet person at all so I think the flex might not be for me. The Charge HR has got me a little excited though as I use my polar HRM when I can/remember. A do it all bracelet might be the best thing for me. Now…

Fitbit - Food Intake =
Your deficit? I am struggling :( I have been calorie counting with my FB now for 6 months and cannot lose 20lbs!! I am stuck right around 15-18lbs. I use to rely heavily on MFP but now with the fitbit I *think* it gages my calories burned a bit better. So for the next 2 weeks I want to do my own math and see where it takes…

What can record calories burned while swimming?
I have the fitbit one and have to take it off when I am in the pool -- that is roughly 1- 3 hours a day of not wearing it :/ I am feeling lost and would like to have something monitor my swim time. It is usually just for fun with the kids but I would love to know what I am burning while in there. What is a waterproof…

BMR/TDEE/MFP and FITBIT
TOO many numbers ....lol. When I first joined MFP I didn't see much mention of TDEE -- the odd BMR but for the most part I logged in calculated according to MFP and logged my exercise using my HRM readings. I ate back my burned calories and all was well. No fitbit either. I have been at it almost 60 days and just not…
-
Why does it seem so much harder this time?
I lost weight when I first start MFP and it seemed to work so much better!! Not sure if it is because I am older or maybe my fitbit is messing with things?! I started March 17th at 173.5lbs and thought I was doing great -- April 16th I was down to 167.1lbs I was shocked when I weighed in April 21st and it said I was 165…

Fitbit one -- More info please
So I am considering purchasing the fitbit one and have read a bit about them but wonder how it integrates with MFP. If it calculates your daily burn does it adjust your goals here? I am very much a numbers girl on MFP so my goal and my net must be pretty close. I have a HRM as well and eat back my exercise calories -- just…

Is a Polar HRM still the most popular?
A couple years ago when I started on MFP Polar was by far the most popular -- I had the F6 and now have the FT4. A friend is looking into getting one and wondered if there were other out along the same line -- for some reason the FT4's are more now then what I remember paying 2 years ago!!

Steel Cut Oats -- Weighing
I had this all weighed out before but for some reason I forget. The oats I am using says Per 1/4 cup (40g) is 150 calories the prep instructions says for 4 servings 4 1/2 cups of water 1 cup oats So does that mean 40g's cooked is 150 calories? Seems high as if I remember correctly oatmeal is usually pretty low cal.

Protein shake...breakfast alternative.
I am finding myself pretty busy and hate fad shakes or meal replacements (plus want to keep cost low) but what I am looking for is to make a low calorie, high protein shake that I can substitute when I am busy. When I was not really watching what I was eating I just ate whatever my kids ate. So french toast,…

Carbonated water?
Do you drink it? I HATE flat water, I hate the feeling...if there is no taste (I like the nestea iced tea singles) in it then I prefer carbonation. I just bought some the last couple days and I think it is actually making me feel fuller....Not sure if that is possible?

Looking for a couple of Admins
I have 2 kids, trying to lose weight and I sell Scentsy and Velata so although I will try my very best to update and watch for trouble it might be easier to have a few other ladies help to make sure everyone plays nice ;) If you want the job maybe message me. I don't "know" any of you well enough to pick so I will just…
