  • I can't speak for the OP, but I would also pay more attention to an "added sugar" category. Several reasons: 1) Sugar can be listed under so many different names, it's sometimes difficult to find on a nutrition label. 2) sugar that comes from a whole food--fruit, vegetables, and dairy, for instance--likely comes with…

  • I would love some new friends! I'm a 33 year old mom of 2 (a toddler and a preschooler), a bookworm, a super geek (many fandoms, but I fit neatly in SuperWhoLock if that means anything to you!), a beginning runner, and a supportive person. I'm on all the time! I would especially welcome friends who are also parents of…

  • I agree with 86sarahb, you could just estimate how long you were on your feet and manually enter as cardio. Now, if you want to automate things and get more accurate results, you could get one of the fitness trackers that work with MFP and then it will track that for you. I have a fitbit, and it works for me because my…

  • I think your body is screaming for nutrients... Consider making 50% of all your meals be fruits and vegetables. For instance, in the breakfast you describe, I would have half the eggs and bacon, scramble my eggs with peppers, onions, and tomato and have a cup of fresh strawberries on the side. There are fewer calories…

  • It varies by SO much. Height, bone structure, body shape, diet, hormones, age... Your waist measurement will even vary based on time of day you take it, how much water you drank the day before, your cycle, etc. If you're exercising, your weight might go up while your inches go down. Your weight might go down while your…

  • I discovered there is such a thing as the Disney Princess Half Marathon. And suddenly, it was like the heavens opened and a little angel perched on my shoulder and said "You get to run from Epcot to Magic Kingdom in a princess costume, and the characters cheer for you, and you get a tiara shaped medal, and you will be,…
