I find myself pre-planning, as then I know how many calories I can afford to spend. If, for example, I am planning a high-calorie supper, then I will have a lighter lunch than normal. On the other hand, if I know that I am only going to be able to grab a protein bar or shake, then I might have a heavier breakfast, to keep…

One of the things coming out of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is the following regarding insurance plans: The law requires all new private health insurance plans and Marketplace plans to cover services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, with no cost-sharing fees. That includes tobacco cessation…

It is weird, isn't it? I lived (or died) for Quarter Pounders with Cheese, Double Meat Whoppers with cheese and extra mayo, Arby's sausage, egg, cheese wraps- now it is meh. I still love to eat, but am much more discerning as to what I eat. I have a Cadbury Fruit and Nut bar (see, fruit, nuts, milk, it is healthy, right?)…

+!^ At least MFP will help you vett the material by giving you the opportunity to check the nutritional information, many apps require you to add it before you can see what the numbers are. You can also "vote down" the inaccurate information. Working with data all day, GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) reigns supreme. Yes, it…

It may also be how you have your app set up. I did not like the battery/data drain so my apps only sync when I open them, and I sometimes have to manually sync them. There are settings in both MFP and Fitbit which may need to be adjusted. Additionally, I think that Fbt and MFP have been having server problems, judging by…

If you enter your food into MFP, the summary for your meals will transfer over to Fitbit, just as your steps, activity minutes and exercise minutes from Fitbit will show up in MFP. Both programs will show more detail…

Unfortunately, they are included, along with the cheese sticks, pot stickers, bruschetta, and other culinary delights.

When I unconsciously started mimicking a pregnant woman by rubbing the top of my baby bump- and I'm a guy! :noway:

I have the Zip, and have used it for almost a year. Only had a problem with one update which caused my battery to drain very quickly, but the last one has been going for almost 5 months. While basic, it has kept me motivated, I will find myself trying to round-up my steps or distance. I have almost tripled my movement and…

May be a silly question, but is your bike fitted for you? Back before life got in the way, I used to ride...alot, as much as 100 miles in a day. A seat position off by less than 1/2 inch is enough to turn a ride from pleasure into pure cramping, I can't stand this torture. The old formula that I used was 1.09 x the…
