GOLO Recipes Only
I am seeing a lot of advertisements for GOLO. When I looked into it, it seems that it is a herbal pill you take 1 to 3 times a day (Not interested in these) and they give you low carb, low calorie healthy recipes to make on your own. Has anyone tried this diet? Are the recipes worth the cost of 1 month of pills? Are the…

Is there anything you eat that you don't bother to weigh and log?
I am curious if most people weigh and log everything. Do you weigh lettuce for salads? Do you log every little thing, even a handful of blueberries?

Fitbit and exercise calories
Sorry fitbit experts, I am sure you have answered this before, but first, please let me know if what I am thinking is true. Fitbit measures your steps, and based on your steps, MFP adds exercise calories. If you say you are sedentary, it will add calories sooner than if you are active. If you record an exercise, MFP will…

How much water should you drink?
I know the goal on MFP is 8 glasses. But is that 8 -16 oz. glasses, or 8 oz. cups, or 12 oz. restaurant size? And is this amount the same for everyone no matter what you weigh? I have also read other ways to calculate it. 1/2 ounce per pound you weigh, 1 ounce every 200 calories you eat, etc. Or does it even matter? Does…

Diet Coke, friend or foe?
Hi, I am determined to lose all this weight this time. My husband is convinced, from all the internet stuff he reads, that Diet Coke is the most evil of things you can ingest. According to him it will cause all kinds of trouble, from making me gain weight, destroying my pancreas, to bloating my stomach. I love the taste,…

Need fit bit help
Hello, I am sure this has been asked before, but I searched and didn't really see the same question. I just bought a fit bit Alta Hr. I have my MFP setting at sedentary. So I know that the fit bit will track my steps and put them into MFP but not give me calorie adjustments until I reach a certain number of steps. Which is…

Best way to eat when you are sick
I began to feel sick yesterday, sore throat, achy and weak, and it has progressively become worse; coughing, sore throat, congested, the whole Nyquil list. Should I stay the course with my deficit, or would I recover faster if I upped my calories?

Why the WOOs
Recently I responded to a post asking about the Medifast plan. Here was my response: I am using Medifast. I say using because I eat their food which I buy online and I count my calories, filling in with other food to get to my calorie goal. I love it because each of their items have a about 11 grams carbs, 4 g fat and…

I have also been told don't drink with your meal or that will stretch your stomach. When dieting, i have been told the key to not being hungry is to shrink your stomach so you don't have to eat as…

What are your Mini-goal rewards?
I recently got serious about losing weight (again), I realized that I not only had been neglecting my weight, I have been neglecting many other things about my appearance. So I decided to make up "rewards" for each mini goal of 10 pound loss (I need to lose 47 pounds). After my first 10 pounds: I started having my hair…

The recipe makes 16 wraps, and each wrap is 62 calories (though when I put the record in MFP it can up with 78 calories) I had 1/4 of the…
