Does anyone use a FItBit Flex?

I really like the idea of it logging so much information, like my sleep and stuff too, and I really want something accurate. What do ya'll think? And ladies feel free to add me I am looking…

Marijuana and fat...
Hi, So I have been a very heavy marijuana smoker for a very long time (and please--- I don't want any grief over it). Anyway, I am finishing graduate school in a little less than a month and applying for big fancy jobs, many of which do not care that it is legal in my great state, and will drug test upon hire. Initially, I…

I can't believe I'm starting over again
Howdy howdy. I'm back on the track (AGAIN). My goals this time are not only to lose weight but to make it stick. This is my fourth or fifth swing at this just since college started! (I'm now a Junior.) My first time around (a little less than two years ago) I stuck with it for a while and wound up losing about 10 pounds,…

Changing my Schedule to Add Working Out
I'm having a really hard time getting myself to do the "fitness" part of all of this. I'm doing "fairly well" with the calories and dieting (in that I'm usually under my daily calories), but actually adjusting my normal schedule to add working out into it is proving more difficult than anticipated. Does anyone have any…

Starting out
Before doing MFP I used to follow weightwatchers and always found it easy to plan my meals and work out what I would eat but now I am struggling with calorie counting. So I was wondering how people choose to split up their calories for the day. Do you assign a certain amount to each meal or do you go with the flow? What…

Getting Started & Setting Goals
I have been on and off MFP a couple times now. This is my last time ever trying it and by that I mean I intend to stick with it. I found that just setting small goals really works for me, but at the same time when I do complete those small goals, I would like to reward myself or treat myself. Sadly, I am out of ideas on…

Getting back into MFP
I lost 25 pounds doing a combination of MFP and pilates. I took a break since school started, haven't gained any weight but trying to get back into it and feeling overwhelmed slightly.

"If every day where like today"
When you complete your diary it gives the "if every day where like today you would weigh..... in 5 weeks" Is there a way to change that to 3,4,6, 8 weeks or longer?

Appreciation for website designers/administrators/moderators
I just joined this site yesterday, and I love it! Nice job all! Easy to navigate, well moderated, and the tools are easy to use and seem very good. I especially loved last night when I finished logging my food and exercise, and it told me "If every day were like today, you'd weigh 153.5 in 5 weeks"! I didn't know it was…
