Do Fitbit or the Nike App connect to MFP? If so, how?

My Nike App only gives a 3 second countdown and I can disable it for immediate start if I want to. I really like the Nike app.

First of all, you should figure out your BMR (Google BMR Calculator- http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/) Your BMR is the energy (calories) that you spend on every day body functions if you were to never leave your bed.

Keep in mind that all of our bodies burn calories on a daily basis, even if we were to never leave our beds. Our bodies burn calories when digesting food, circulating blood, blinking, etc. You can calculate your BMR to determine what someone your age, height, and weight burns without even moving. There are additional…

I agree about the water weight. The same thing happened to me when I started exercising. Of course you can also retain water weight due to menstruation. Have you changed your eating so you are getting back any of those calories you lost? Are you feeling any more hungry?

Hey, Kayla here. Have always played sports but recently retired from the amazing world of roller derby. Now I have more time to focus on me. I have started with changing my eating habits.

I am very fortunate to have never been one for drinks such as alcohol or coffee. It seems that when I have a soda, I crave them multiple times in the same week. So now I just avoid them entirely. I try to stick to water. Unless you have an all or nothing personality (like me), you may do better by cutting out one thing at…
