Fitbit or polar???
Which is better to have. I have a desk job and need to get motivated to move a little more to burn a few calories at least! Not sure hitch one is better to have?? I am hoping to get back in the elliptical machine as well. With a very active 9 month old it's difficult! I like how you can kind of hide the fit bit and not…

Need Motivation
I have ABSOLUTELY no control over my appetite. It seems as if I think of food and immediately want it. Calories are WAY WAY over where they should be. Need some support and motivational ideas to kick myself in the hiney and get in gear. What do you do to control yourself. I have no self control! HELP!

Trying to wean myself back into MFP
Ok, so I need some ideas here. I am returning to mfp for some help. I lost 25 pounds on here a couple years ago. I logged and exercised every day and then I gave up. I have no reason as to why I gave up, I just did. I need to get back into good habits but mcdonalds keeps calling my name. I am an emotional eater and very…

21 weeks Pregnant and feel HUGE-A-MONGUS!!!!!
I got pregnant at my highest weight @173 lbs. I gained 18 pounds so far bringing me to 191!!! I am so dreading hitting that 200 mark... I know I know... "you're pregnant" that's what I keep hearing, but REALLY it's bothering me. I have never been that much and I am not happy about it. Just needed to vent...

Calories when pregnant
I don't want you to assume that I am trying to lose weight, that is not the case, but being pregnant, I want to minimize the weight that I gain to only weight that is necessary for my pregnancy. I decided to come back to MFP after realizing that I have already gained almost 7 pounds in my first trimester! NOT GOOD as I am…

What do I do with this?!
So, how do you log other drinks if they have 0 calories? Do you count it in your water count? I got my 85 oz of water, but I also will have a whole lot of Totally Light 4C Lemon Iced Tea which has 0 cals. What to do?

Serious Motivation Needed
I have tried and tried these past few months and I seem to be doing the same circling action that brings me right back to where I started from. Before, I lost 25 pounds and was feeling great but after a year, I gained it all back. I lost my motivation, I lost my self confidence, and I lost my support (if I didn't want to…

Protein Shakes vs. Protein Drinks?
I was talking to my cousin who told me that she drinks Syntrax Nectar Protein Drinks after she works out. Now, I have a few questions... Does a Protein Drink keep you feeling as full as a protein shake does? I am new to the whole protein world and I don't get nearly enough as I should per day so I need to start doing…

Just a Random Thought!
As I was going through my wallet and consolidating the multitudes of things I have in there, I came across a few gift cards. They had a zero balance, so I threw them away. Then it hit me... Some people reload gift cards. I don't understand why they do this. Can't they just use their Debit card? Or is there more to this…

I want to be an addict again!
Enough said..... That subject says it all. I was totally addicted to the elliptical machine and I was feeling great. I was down 25 pounds and was fitting in clothes and comfortable in clothes that I haven't been comfortable in a LONG time in. THEN I went on a cruise and fell off track, got home, got into my old eating…

Water....!
So, I have not been drinking water lately. I used to be totally addicted to water... I don't know what happened and I can't seem to get the amount of water in that I need anymore. I get bored with it. I need some inspirational thoughts while I'm drinking it. Any Ideas!?! (Sounds goofy, I know, but I need to be thinking…

Does it matter when you drink water?
Does it matter when you drink your 64 ounces of water each day? Can you drink it all in the beginning of the day or should it be spread out throughout the day?

Heart Rate Monitor

I think I'm crazy!!!!! PG?
I was washing my hands at the kitchen sink Sunday and started smelling bleach strong enough to make a point about it and say something out loud. So I smelled my hands thinking maybe it was the water, nothing... I filled a glass of water and smelled it, nothing.... then I was walking through CVS Monday morning and smelled…

Need To Spruce Up My Dinner and Lunch Meals
Okay, so I need to start sprucing up my meals... I seem to eat the same stuff over and over, week after week, and I'm getting pretty bored with it. I need some ideas for dinners and lunches (dinners being about 500 cals or less / lunches being about 250 or less). What are your favorite meals to make? If you could put the…

Getting Rid Of Smartphone!
I think it's about time that I take a step backwards in the technology world. My life has been consumed by my smartphone!

I am addicted and the only way to…

Bleach Smell?????
For some reason I have been smelling bleach out of the blue for the past few days. It is not a constant smell, but it happens a few times a day. I have not used bleach in about a week and neither has hubby. I thought it was a smell in my house but I smelled it when i was walking in a store also. It's nothing that I'm…
