Just started SL 5x5 - advice please
So, I just started SL 5x5 on Saturday. I have been getting conflicting information in what I'm reading that is making me question whether I should be starting this now or waiting until I am more in the overweight category. Background: I am female, 45 years old, 4'11.5" tall, started at 240 back in June, now down to 199.4…

You know you're obsessed with weighing your food when....
Just did this today. I weighed everything for my salad at home this morning before leaving for work. However, I was in a hurry so I didn't cut my tomatoes. I just weighed four Campari tomatoes and threw them in there. So, when I got to work, I cut out the little tops where the stem was and yes, I weighed those and deducted…

Ate almost 3000 calories Friday - up 3 pounds?? Guess it's time to quit.
Ummmm....NOT! :wink: So often I see posts on here about people wanting to give up because they "blew it" by having a day that was a little too high. It's all part of your new way of eating! Sometimes our "pre-logging" doesn't turn out as planned because life happens! It doesn't mean you blew anything at all and should give…

How would you count food that's deep fried?
Good morning! I normally bake french fries; however, living in Florida, there are times where I don't want to run my oven (especially right now when the weather seems to think it's smack in the middle of summer!!). So occasionally I will use the deep fryer. How do you count the calories for that? Would I track the fries…

What activity level would you put 10,000 steps per day?
I'm considering no longer synching my fitness band to MFP and then just using it to make sure I'm still getting my 10,000 steps per day, and then just logging extra exercise and eating back half of those. What level should I set MFP at with getting 10,000 steps a day? I do have a sedentary job but if I'm still getting the…

Please help me understand exercise calories
I'm trying to understand my exercise calories. I like to eat back about half of them but I want to make sure I'm eating enough with the activity I'm doing. My confusion is because I have a Garmin Vivovit that I keep on all the time. So, I understand basically about the negative number because they don't want you "double…
