  • I don’t understand it either. I did 30 minutes of exercise today synced with my Fitbit and it says -50 calories in the app. I only get 1250. How can it take away calories? I have used the MFP/Fitbit combo off and on for years and have never had it subtract calories. I don’t get it!

  • Thank you for that explanation, it makes sense. I saw the negative calorie box, but do not have it checked. Should I check it? I’m only set to lose .5 lbs and not very active. I’m at 10ish lbs I need to lose.

  • Yes, a Fitbit. So if I hit the estimate or go over it won’t subtract? How do I know what will be my final calorie number? I don’t want to eat over calories. I start the day with 1250. Right now it says I have 228 remaining with 95 exercise, but I just saw it subtract.

  • Have you tried coffee mate natural bliss almond milk creamer? I find it closer to actual creamer than say, silk brand. It's a bit creamier and I like the taste better. I use the caramel, but they also have French vanilla and original. ETA-I wasn't sure if your OP meant you had tried the coffee mate brand of non-dairy or…

  • On your cardio days go for a run. That is what I do with this program. I haven't turned on one of her cardio DVD's yet.

  • I just entered a recipe in the app using the grams method mentioned above. It said each serving was one calorie. Then I saved it and added my serving size in grams (191) and it doubled my calories to 280. Is this right? If yes, can anyone explain why it works this way? If no, what is going on? Thank you.

  • I am on week 4 of c25k and have been running on the track. Since I am new to running I like it because it's easier for me mentally to start and stop with the intervals on a track. I have had to learn posture and breathing so running on a track makes it easier for me to focus on that while just going in a circle. I do think…

  • I run on the local school track. Lots of people do it here. I doubt anyone has asked, I sure didn't. As long as it is not being used for gym class or track practice anyone can use it. We also use the tennis courts, soccer fields, frisbee golf field, playgrounds, etc. at various schools. You shouldn't have a problem.

  • IA with sensitive skin and unscented deoderents.Maybe even something organic/natural. The fewer ingredients the better. Tom's makes a good one. I am allergic to pretty much everything with scents. Scents are not good for your body as it's a foreign substance absorbed into your skin. It builds up and after awhile you can…

  • Just think that your body has been in this 'bad' position for years. It now has to be retrained, so to speak, to stay in the new position. Like getting fit, it doesn't happen overnight. One other tip is to not stop when you feel better because you will not be healed. If you quit before the recommended amount of treatments…

  • Right now this girl knows it gets to you. She can smell your fear. Show her that it doesn't matter to you any more. Turn around and walk away. Any attention, even negative, is still attention and she's seeking that. If she says why aren't you talking to me/playing with me tell her truthfully she is rude and you don't stay…

  • You look great! I'm 5'3" and 115. I could probably lose a couple of lbs, but would just be happy with firming up. I like my current weight, but a couple of lbs in either direction, as long as I am exercising and eating right, wouldn't bother me at all. I just want to be fit and healthy.

  • I do like to have nice clothes when I workout just because it makes ME feel better. I don't want to break the bank though so I go for cheaper options that are functional and well fitting in nice colors. Old Navy running shorts with the built in panties are the best! I also like their moisture wicking tees. Champion at…

  • I like Jillian Michaels DVD's. I have completed 30 Day Shred and am currently working on 6 week 6 pack. My husband has done p90, p90x and is starting Insanity. We also both just started Couch to 5K which you can do at home if you have a treadmill.

  • My son and I are DF. We use Silk Almond Milk (dark chocolate being our favorite). We also use substitute cream cheese, sour cream, & shredded cheese. I use the sour cream to make him dip for his veggies. For cooking/baking I use Nature's Balance butter and regular Almond Milk. Some other products I was so happy to find (as…
