College students - drop the freshman 15 in time for summer!
I thought it might be fun to have a challenge for college students wanting to drop the freshman 15 in time for summer. A goal of June 1st will give us roughly 11 weeks, which equates to dropping a little over 1 lb/week - challenging, yet completely doable! I wanted to make a thread where people can check in weekly as I…

Would anyone like to join me? If you aren't sure what it is, check out whole30.com for loads of helpful info. I'm excited to get…

Exercise tracking - calories burned accuracy?
I just used the exercise tracking feature on my Fitbit (press & hold the button) and then did 2 miles of run/walk in 30 minutes. When I was finished, it told me I had burned 250 calories. This seems abnormally high - I'm a small person (5'2" & 125lbs) and my Fitbit has that information. Does anyone know exactly how…

Fitbit - exercise tracker calorie burn accuracy?

I don't understand MFP's numbers
I'm confused about the numbers I've been getting on MFP. I've calculated my BMR, and it's 1290. I have MFP set to sedentary while pulling info from my Fitbit to track my daily exercise. Today it says I've burned 409 extra calories from the activity Fitbit has recorded. This should mean that today I've burned my BMR plus…

Anyone rewarding yourself when you hit your goal?
I thought it would be fun to create a thread about ways we'll reward ourselves for meeting our goals! Personally, if I am able to reach my goal weight, I'm planning on getting myself some new, pretty, frilly under-things. I've been looking for an excuse and now I can use it as motivation! Then, if I keep the weight off for…

Looking for accountability partners!
Hey guys! The title pretty much says it all. I'm starting a Whole30 challenge tomorrow and I'm looking for accountability buddies. I've done it once before with my mom and having her as an accountability partner was a HUGE factor in my ability to finish! I'm wanting to do everything I can to set myself up for success this…

Weekly accountability thread?
Hey all! I'm new to this group and was wondering if there's any sort of weekly weigh-in or other accountability thread floating around? I need a bit of motivation to keep up with my goals and I think something like that might just do the trick. If no such thing exists, how do you ladies usually keep public record of your…

New & with goals!
Hey guys! I've posted here a couple of times before but just with specific questions about Fitbit etc. As far as actually being a part of the community, I'm new - and I have goals! I'm looking for accountability and motivation right now because I know I'm capable of what I'm looking for if I really put my mind to it. I'm…

Whole30?
I've searched and can't find a Whole30 group - do folks usually come to this group for that? Anyhow, I'm getting ready to (re)start my 2nd Whole30 tomorrow! I've completed one before and LOVED the results so I know I can do it. It's just the first 10ish days that are hardest for me. Anyone else doing this right now?

MFP and Fitbit calorie recommendations different
Hi all, this is my first time posting but I've been using MFP on and off for a couple of years and have had a fitbit for about 6 weeks now. Anyways, I'm noticing a disconnect between the calorie information in each app. I have MFP set to maintain my weight because I want to be able to see the deficit on my weekly nutrition…
