How do you log a group fitness class?
I want to meet the group fitness class task in the Whole Heart Challenge, but cannot find that type of exercise under cardio. What do I search for?

Cutting way down on alcohol
I'm resuming my calorie counting because my weight was creeping up again. I've been successful for 2 weeks at cutting back my alcohol consumption from 2 drinks a day to 2 a week. My weight has stabilized, but I expected it to go down a bit. What should I expect assuming my activity level and food intake remains the same?

What is your fiber goal (grams) and how do you meet it?
I'm shooting for 25 grams of fiber a day right now and barely making it. I confess I eat one of those Fiber One bars a day to help get there. I know plenty of fresh foods have fiber, but this fits into my hectic schedule. I'd love to hear how others do it.

Within 4 lbs of my goal! Question....
When I reach my goal weight, will MFP adjust my calorie goal for maintenance, or do I have to manually change it?

Custom nutrition goals - MFP too generic
I have been frustrated that it's so hard to hit my daily fiber goals, and today I did a little looking online and found that the 38 gram recommendation that MFP calculated for me automatically is higher than what various other sites say (25 grams for women). I have also noticed that the protein recommendation seems…

8 glasses of water a day?
I just saw this article that states there is no scientific basis behind the "8 a Day" guideline for drinking water. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/25/upshot/no-you-do-not-have-to-drink-8-glasses-of-water-a-day.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur I haven't been logging my water in MFP, and I'm pretty sure I never did consume 8…

Lost 9 lbs since June 28
i was so happy to step on the scale and see that I was below 147 lb for the fist time since I started counting calories in late June. Just wanted to share! I am 5'4" and my goal is 140. I have been averaging 1500-1600 calories a day and have a desk job. My target is 1340 a day, but I always seem to go over because I am…

Beer calories
One of the hardest things for me to give up is alcohol. I like a glass of wine or a beer (or two), and I know those liquid calories are insidious. Now that I'm logging everything, I see that different varieties of beer have different amounts of calories. It's interesting to say the least. Can anyone suggest some of the…

Losing weight too fast?
I have been counting calories for less than a month and I'm down more than 8lbs. Granted, I had bronchitis for part of that time and on antibiotics. Looking back, I find that I exceed my daily calories more often than not (even when I was sick). So I'm concerned. Sure, I like losing weight, but I want it to be sustainable.…

New bathroom scale - different weight
I have been using an old bathroom scale with a dial. I questioned its accuracy because the weight reading changes by 5 lbs if I lean forward or backward. I finally invested in a digital scale, and am getting readings about 6 lbs heavier than with the old one. I trust the new scale because it makes more sense in regards to…
