I want to gain muscle and have a nice toned body! I need some help!
Well as the title says, I want muscle. I want a nice pair of abs and nice muscular arms and all that good stuff. I've lost weight before and I knew what to do, but gaining muscle it's so much different! Like instead of eating less (like when you lose weight) you have to eat more. So what exercises and routines should I…

Getting (re-)Started 1 Year Later, or Part II
Hello, All, I opened this account about a year ago, but didn't fully know how to use it. So, when I upgraded my phones, I sort of forgot about it---until I bought a fitbit recently & became unstoppable! Any hints, helps, or tips are totally appreciated.

Knowing Your Activity Level
One thing that gave me pause in determining my goals was the question about my daily activity level. I really wasn't sure what would be considered an "active life style". I generally consider myself to be active. I'm an Early Childhood Educator, which means the vast majority of my day is spent chasing toddlers around,…

Calories???
NEVER counted calories before. Now I'm obsessed with measuring, logging, weighing etc. etc. I cook everything from scratch so I had no idea what the caloric values were. I'm just beginning to get the drift of WHAT I am consuming with the help of MFP. I still don't really know how to use the site, but it sure beats the…

Is it common to have to rely on the app, at least at first, to know when you should stop eating?
Left to my own devices I would snack here and there and unknowingly take in more calories than I need. Now that I am logging them, I am getting how to budget my calories. But, if I didn't know I had used up my allotment for the day I would probably nibble more. I like the app. I don't know calories in my head. I don't go…

I don't know where to start. Any tips?
I'm 5'3 and 140 lbs. I want to get to 118 before my next birthday, in mid-March.

The second go-around...
Hi, all! My name is Jennifer. I had success with this site previously so I'm back! For about 5-6 months, I fell off the wagon. I was preoccupied with career advancement stuff. Instead of channeling that stress into healthy exercising, I looked to eating! Bad choice. In any case, the job-related stuff is getting resolved…

Food Addiction?
It feels as though I seriously have an addiction to food! Not a new thought, but something that has been an issue for many years...going back to memories of a child. I've been on MFP for a week and have already caved two out of the 7 seven to fast food (and lots of it!). Other than that, I've been working really hard at…

I am ashamed of letting my food problem become so bad, but really want to get on the right track and become fit and healthy again. How do I get past the first…

Analysis of BMI
The expression BMI gets thrown out a lot lately, but it seems to me that very few people — either health professionals talking about weight, or people who talk about the fact that skinny is a lousy metric of health understand very well. BMI means Body Mass Index. It’s a height/weight ratio where the weight in kilograms is…
