  • It could be a mild food poisoning. However, if its happening from different batches of carrots this isn't too likely. You could also try organic carrots see if that makes a difference. If you normally eat baby carrots try regular organic carrots. The baby cut carrots are treated with bleach so you could be sensitive to…
  • I was just trying to give some helpful info since she said she gained 50lbs with her first pregnancy. Shesh if I knew people would be so snippy I wouldn't have bothered. Last time I post on mfp so no worries no more unsolicited advice from me.
  • I have a polar hrm and a fitbit one. Hrm are great for wearing while you are actively working out to know what you burned. I wear my hrm while working out at home. I always wear my fitbit and I use it as a general guideline of what I have burned threw the day but I dont take it that seriously when deciding how many…
  • If you can I would add some activity to your routine. Maybe talk to a trainer or a doctor and figure out what could work for you. I would suggest adding walking build up your indurance and distance. If you have access to a gym or can afford one a recumbant bike would probably be a great option for you. Personally I would…
  • I have never been pregnant but an fyi if you didnt already know. In your first trimester you do not actually need any extra calories. In the second trimester you need about 340 extra kcals and in your third trimester you need about 450 extra calories to nourish you and baby. So those numbers would be on top of the calories…
  • Who have you told that you are working on losing weight. The only people who have said anything about my weight loss are people I told. And I kinda wish I hadn't told my mom and sister because they are less than encouraging when I say where I want to be weight wise. God forbid I be happy with my body at a smaller sizer…
  • I can't make any personal suggestions but I was seriously looking into to t-fal actifry but I already have and love a nuwave oven. From what I read the t-fal is great for making french fries and other fried veggies but not battered fried things as it stirs while cooking. Check out a youtube clip of it in action if you…
  • You are most likely retaining water if your body is changing in appearance over the course of a few days. Where you are at in your monthly cycle and the amount of salt you consumed the day before can easily make you look and feel puffier. Try drinking more water to help, it will cut down on the amount of water your body…
  • More than 2 lbs gained or lost a week is not good for you. Unless you have a very low body fat% and need that much fat on your body you should aim to add fat and muscle at the same time so do little cardio and lift weights several times a week. You should increase your caloric intake by 500 kcals (a day) from your bmr…
  • I have been using the fitbit one since February and I am a big fan. I walk a lot around campus and get a lot of steps from eliptical or treadmill workouts. I wish it worked with cycling as well. I cant compair it to other devices but I read that the calorie burn estimates are about the same. I mainly got the fitbit one for…
