How long have you lasted on MFP consistently?
Has this really been a lifetime change for YOU? Oooor have you ever fallen off the band wagon? How long was the longest you've kept up with this? Just was curious :) I signed up in Jan this year and fell off for a total of 2 months out of the last 9, but im always coming back!

I naturally zig zag calories...i think!
So my goal cal intake is 1200 per day but I just can't seem to do 1200 everyday or even 2 days in a row. Some days I'll do 1400, 1300 or 1250 and one day even as little as 1050 or 1100. Does that mean I'm "zig zagging" or do I need a certain specific plan of how many Cals per day?

Huge tip on not binging
I was HUGE on binging...if it was candy, chocolate, carbs, anything! A tip that works wonders for me is to ALWAYS have my Listerine strips next to me and force myself to have one after a bite or a small portion.

I just bought my first hrm (polar ft4 mens version because I hate the color of the women's) and was wondering if it only works during cardio or does it work for strength training as well? Also can I wear it when I'm just walking around or hiking? Hope I'm not disappointed!
