BE MY FRIEND!
So I was devout. Lost a ton of weight. Quit. Gained it back + some. They I decided to lose more slowly and more realistically for myself. I lost 40lbs on my own and another 12.5 this past month by food tracking. Just looking for encouraging friends! Definitely makes it more fun.

Healthy treat!
Something about my vanilla chai latte is like a mental sigh of relief. I take a sip and my brain turns off... Can't beat 15 calories! Do you have any foods/drinks that are a special, yet healthy, treat?

Harder or longer?
You like that title, eh? ;) I've noticed my calorie burn decreasing with each workout recently! I go 3 miles on the elliptical at resistance intervals of 5 then 8. I I'm generally in the gym around an hour. Should I bump the resistance higher or go for more miles?

Polar FT7 users!!
Ok, I recently purchased one and I LOVE it! The only issue I'm having is trying to get my workouts onto the website. Do I have to have a secondary device to do so or is there a way to get it onto my computer by itself? I can't use the app because it is Apple only and I have an Android. I really hope I don't have to buy a…

Heart rate monitor?
I want to purchase a heart rate monitor that you wear around your chest. I've heard that they are the most accurate. One that measures distance might be nice as well. I'm a big girl, so I would need it to be able to fit me as well as be incredibly accurate. Does anyone have one that they love?

Ridiculous logging
Do you log anything other than exercise? I understand if you go for a walk, gym, mow the lawn... But if you grocery shop do you log the walking? Do you log cleaning your house or cooking dinner? What acceptable to log and when does it get ridiculous?

Sugars: do they matter?
I know that your sugar intake is very important, but is it bad if you go over on your sugars if 90% of your intake is from fruit? I'm trying to replace mindless snacking with healthy snacking and I've noticed that after 2 servings of fruit (breakfast and snack), plus other foods during the day cap me out on my sugars.…

Calorie Goals!
How do you get in enough calories a day without filling your body full of crap? I eat 5-6 times a day, but I rarely come close to my goal! This is also after I manually lowered my calorie goal because it was set crazy high!
