Anime-inspired workouts?
So I've seen some fans create workout regiments based on popular anime characters where if you do the exercises you'll have the body of the anime character. Do you think they will work? I'm really interested in trying the Super Sayian one, or maybe the One Punch one, if it's a good work out. Here's a link to pictures of…

Seemed to have plateau'd/valleyed
For some reason, I can't seem to drop below the 210lb mark. My exercise is the same, and though I'm not using the app as much as I should, I should be staying below my limit (unless eating below the minimum 1200-daily calorie limit is somehow stopping me from losing weight. This is frustrating because last year at my…

Is this accurate?
I order a custom french toast sizzli from Wawa quite often. It's an Egg and Cheese French Toast Sizzli (no meat). The problem is, it's not listed in the database, and I can't find any website that would tell me how many calories the sandwich would be. However, a Sausage/Egg/Cheese French Toast Sizzli is listed as 540…

Why am I gaining weight?!?!
Recently, I weighed myself and had discovered that I had gained all the weight I had lost in the previous year time-span, so I went back on my strict diet. This time, I set my goal to lose 2 pounds per week. I will admit, it's been tough adjusting to it since going from 1 pound to 2 pounds cut my limit down by about 4-500…

Sweating vs not sweating
Does sweating burn a different amount of calories vs doing the same amount of exercise not sweating? For example, let's say that on a cool day I walk for 1 mile at any normal pace. The next day, it's HOT outside and I'm dripping bullets, but I walk the same distance at the same pace. Will my calories burned be different on…

To log or not to log?
I got a Fitbit for Christmas, and I love it! I've already linked my Fitbit to MFP. I found out you can log your food in the Fitbit app, and I already log my foods in MFP. Should I log my food in my Fitbit too, or is just logging my food in MFP enough? Does logging food in Fitbit affect my calorie adjustment in MFP?

What to do about Thanksgiving?
Well, this is my first major holiday since I started my diet. What should I do about Thanksgiving, which is in a few days? Should I only eat the minimum amount of calories per day for me, then I'm allowed to just pig out when I eat Thanksgiving Dinner (to counteract each other), or do I still have to count my calories on…

Fun little game. ...
Here's a fun little game. When you're looking at the nutritional information on the food and drinks you consume, what is the strangest thing you've ever read? The thing that makes you go "Really?!" For me, it was when I bought an individually-packaged pastry from wawa. The serving size was 1/2 pastry, number of servings:…

Removing calories due to work?
I'm planning on getting a fitbit soon, and I was wondering if there was a way to remove calories from my daily diary as a result of work. For example, if my fitbit said that I burned 300 calories for the day, is there a way to remove (or add in, depending on how you look at it) the 300 calories from my goal by saying…

Calories from a restaurant?
How can I find out how many calories I just ate if I eat at a restaurant that's only located in my hometown? Like if I eat at a seafood restaurant that isn't Red Lobster or a similar nation-wide-chain restaurant? Besides asking for nutritional facts?

Am I doing it right?
When I started about 1.5 weeks ago, I weighed 204 pounds. I've watched what I've eaten, and has always been under my calorie limit, though sometimes it has been close. I've cut out soda and fast food. Yet when I weighed myself a few days ago, I've gained 3 pounds. What am I doing wrong? I didn't expect to lose weight like…

Warehouse work
I work in a hot, sweaty warehouse for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week (6 if you count Saturday). I count that as my exercise. I could be doing anything from taking down products to boxing them up for shipping to fast-walking from one side to another to hand-transporting heavy pallets from 1 place to another. I might even be…
