Am I too thin?
How do you know? People tell me I look thin. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror, and think I look thin, but most of the time I do not. I can't tell what is age and what is fat, if that makes sense. All of a sudden I am a size 2 (old navy) when I started at a size 16, and the 2s are baggy, but I still see fat. I was…

I can't decide what Fitbit to buy!
I have the Flex and love it, but want to upgrade. I can't decide between the Alta and the Charge HR. Is the heart monitor really accurate and worth having? Is the Charge too big on the wrist? Dilemma. Dilemma. Dilemma.

Step Tracker
Quick question: If my steps are begin tracked by my iPhone and synced with MFP, what happens to those steps when I add in a run? Are the steps from my run double counted?

That moment of panic
When you notice your Fitbit has a low battery whilst on a field trip at an amusement park with 300 6th and 7th graders!

Using MFP/Fitbit while on cruise
Is there cell service on a cruise? The last time I was on a cruise there was no such thing. I am not interested in texting, but am really hoping to be able to use MFP, Runkeeper and sync my Fitbit.

Quoting and posting on forum
I feel dumb asking this, but I always see people respond to other posters with an @, but I can't figure out how to do it. I figured out how to quote, but that even takes me several times at editing before I get it right.

Question
I am doing super well on my weight loss. Could not be happier. I've posted before, but just to reiterate, I am 50, down 30+, less than 9 pounds to go for goal weight of 145 pounds. I recently posted a progress picture. I think the difference is amazing. My mom keeps telling me if I lose more weight my face will look awful…

English Muffins
Why is there such a weight difference between a toasted and non-toasted English Muffin? I can't imagine 5 grams falling off in the toaster.

Almost at goal!
10 pounds to go! Down 30 since February!

Just have to rant...
Weight loss is the most exasperating thing!! I yo-yo back and forth between the same 2-3 pounds for about 3 weeks before the scale loses it forever. I know I should be used to it, but it is so frustrating, especially because I eat at or below my calorie level every single day. It is not hormonal because I went through…

Suggestions for upcoming cruise?
Going to Bermuda for a week in June. I have worked really hard to lose 30 pounds since January. I should be down at least another 7-10 pounds by my trip. I am 50 years old, 5'6, and currently weigh 157. I run/walk (more run than walk, now) a 5.5 hilly loop 6 times a week and do light strength exercises at home. At first I…

Macro Goals
So, why do the goal numbers change on a daily basis? I must have been absent on that day!

Iron
Does anyone know how to change (or check) the macro amount for iron on MFP? I am 50 years old, but went through menopause 3 years ago. I believe the iron levels for someone in my age bracket is 15mg, but I actually could move up to the next age division and only need 10 mg daily. I can't find anywhere on the MFP site what…

Will someone please tell me...
How I burned more calories yesterday (14,654 steps, 63 active minutes, 5.78 miles, 2,424 calories burned) than the day before (15,868 steps, 131 active minutes, 6.26 miles, 2,375 calories burned)? On Monday I walked a hard 5.47 miles and yesterday a much slower 3.52 miles. But yesterday I was more active throughout the day…

Question about trackers
I wear a Fitbit Flex to track my daily movements, but when I walk or run I also use Runkeeper. Today I walked 5.5 miles, but my Fitbit Flex only has me at barely 4 miles. What is causing this discrepancy? I am pretty positive that my stride length is correct in the Fitbit and the Runkeeper uses GPS. I don't log my info…

Differences between MFP/Fitbit/Runkeeper
I am fairly new here - on my third week. I lost 70 pounds three years ago with Nutrisystem and am currently working on losing the 20 pounds that crept back on. I am 50 years old, 5'6, female and weigh 167. I have lost about 16 pounds since January and have been struggling with losing more. I started using MFP and love it.…

Runkeeper/Fitbit
I have a quick question... I did a two mile run today and a two mile walk right after. My Runkeeper app gave me a total of 400 calories burned, but my Fitbit gave me only half of that as calories burned. Why are they so different and which one is more accurate? I like to know because I only eat a base of 1200 calories, so…

Double Counting Steps
Will my steps be double counted if I add runs to MFP and use my Fitbit to track steps? I wear the Fitbit while running. Or should I just use the fitbit and not add the times when I actually run to MFP?
