So, I have been using the Flex for around five months now. I like the fact that I can change the bands out. I also wear a wristwatch, so the Force's display is a little redundant for me. But what the others have said about the Flex picking up hand movement is true. I type very fast on my laptop, so I usually take my Fitbit…

Thanks for the responses guys. Some of you have started getting at what I failed to convey properly in m first message, haha. The problem isn't that they are large, per se. I think the problem is that they look disproportionate and untoned. Are there exercises that I can target to at least tone them and make them look…

I don't own a weighing scale in the dorm (I know, cheap, but I'm kinda broke, lol). The weighing scale that's closest to me is in the gym but it's a 15 minute walk and I usually don't hit the gyms until the evening. So I have decided every Sunday, as soon as I wake up and finish washing up in the morning, before I eat I'll…

Wow how long did that take? You look amazing!

Okay, so you suggest increasing my calorie intake to 1500 calories and then doing low intensity cardio for about 250 calories? Would cycling at a moderate pace count as low intensity cardio? I will try to get a kitchen sink and I'll definitely replace some of my carbs and sugar intake with more natural foods like fruit and…

My Goals Tab says that my AMR is 1940 calories per day. MFP recommends I eat 1330 calories per day to lose approximately 1.5lbs per week and I usually stick to that amount (mostly slightly lesser by like 50 calories or so, and once in a while, over by 50-100 calories). I also exercise daily and burn around 200-300 calories…

I'll definitely take this into account. I am kind of new here and it's taken me a while to figure out what's going on. Thanks for the suggestion!!

I live in the dorms and we don't have a kitchen, so I pretty much have to rely on pre-cooked food. The closest I can get to eating non-packaged food is when I eat at restaurants/have food at the commons, but that's not a great substitute either. I am definitely going to eat lesser calories during dinner time and start…

I try to incorporate foods that have vegetables as much as I can but being vegetarian makes it harder. I will have to cut down on the potatoes and try to eat a less heavy dinner hereon, I think.

No, they're not pre-packaged portions, but the people who serve at the commons usually separate the food out into portions based on the serving sizes listed and we just pick up a plate usually. How would you suggest measuring serving sizes? It's about 3 20oz bottles maybe? With respect to the fruits, I usually get a…

Also, I just made my food diary public.

I am not sure how to open my diary. To add a bit of context, I have a meal plan in my college, and I am vegetarian, so I have to manage with the few options they have here. I try to eat healthy, but I think my sodium intake might be on the higher side. I eat my exercise calories. Usually what goes into my calorie count is…

I had very toned muscular thighs since I used to be a long distance runner, and then I stopped running so all the muscle turned to fat and I recently decided to get back in shape. I highly recommend doing a healthy dose of cardio and as many people have pointed out, you can't spot reduce fat. ideally, if you combine cardio…

(Don't mean to hijack the post!) Enell seems to be generally trending but what about something affordable for broke college kids like me? Freshman year I was like a 34B and then I stopped running (used to be a long distance runner) and WHAM. Suddenly, it's junior year and I'm like almost a 36DD. Needless to say having…

Thanks guys! I've basically never eaten meat (partly because of upbringing because both my parents are vegetarian, and partly by choice because I just couldn't picture myself eating meat). While at home, I cook healthily and have a set of great recipes that my grandmother and mom put together, but here in the dorms, it's…

Thanks so much. This community and app has pretty much changed my lifestyle!

My campus has some pretty good vegetarian options, but the problem is it gets extremely repetitive and there's little to no variety sometimes, and that mostly causes my cravings to eat out and have "tastier" food. Doesn't help that I'm Indian, and grew up vegetarian because I'm used to flavorful and diverse food items…

Thanks!! I also think that the community here is super friendly and really nice in general. The food tracker has already helped me lose around 2 lbs, so I'm all pumped for more! (Added you!)
