Quitting Smoking
Just wondering if anyone else noticed when they quit smoking some extra water retention? I know I haven't gained fat, but the scale is up about 4 lbs since I quit smoking cold turkey last Sunday. I use Libra so I realize fluctuations are normal, these just are not my normal fluctuations and im wondering if this could be…

Struggling to stay on track
So long story short I quit smoking at the end of November, the day I quit my weight was 166.8, immediately the next day my weight shot up to 174.8 and it has been fluctuating between 169-175 since then. I decided to go on a diet break which lasted 3 weeks. I use Libra and the trend was completely straight for three weeks.…

Lifting weights?
So I would really like to get started strength training, but here is my issue. The gym I will be using is at my apartment complex, where no one ever is, so there is no one to show me. I dont have the extra money for a trainer right now and I have no idea what I am doing. How do I get started? Is there any recommended…

How long after...
How long after starting a new exercise routine did it take for you to see weight loss? I started playing tennis about two weeks ago and havent dropped any weight since then. I am not concerned about this in terms of weight loss, I assumed it was because I started a new fitness routine (playing every night 45-85 minutes)…

How do you log this?
Every once in awhile I like going to a local shop that makes fruit and veggie juices. I go often enough that I really need to figure out what the best way to log this is. Lately my typical juice is the following ingredients put into a juicer: Lemon Cherry Celery Ginger or: Celery Cucumber Kale Apple They list no nutrition,…

Wisdom Teeth
Anyone gotten their wisdom teeth out and want to share how painful / not painful it was for you after the surgery? I went to the dentist and about two years ago they said I would need my wisdom teeth out within 6 months. We kept an eye on them and obviously that six months has past. But the back of my mouth is super sore…

My best friend doesnt believe in CICO
So the title says it all. My best friend doesn't believe in CICO. I only told them recently that I started losing weight ( I told them once I was 15 lbs down) we went for a hike the other day, and then were walking back to their house, we stopped for ice cream. I had a ton of calories left so I got a flavor I actually…

Is this weird?
I've been dropping weight pretty steadily at an average of 1.8 lbs a week, I have MFP set at a loss of 1.5 lbs a week. This week, I haven't changed anything, but I've dropped 4.2 lbs, I know weight loss isnt linear, and I track my weight daily with Libra so im not necessarily worried about, I just thought it was strange..…

Fitness tracker
When I started this journey, I bought a cheap fitness tracker on amazon, it works surprisingly well, however, it doesnt have a heart rate monitor and it doesnt sync with MFP :( Im looking to buy a new tracker, I would prefer something less expensive, but Im open to all options, what does everyone have and what do you like…

Any idea…

I just started syncing my fitbit to mfp. I was planning on only eating around 50% of my calorie adjustment back, but should I be eating more of them back? i have 500 calories left. There was a 700 calorie adjustment today.

Fitbit Question
I just got my Charge 2, yesterday was my first day using it, I went to the gym, and fitbit just adjusted my calories, but didnt post my workout as exercise with a status like it did when I did it manually, is there any way to get the status to post again? Or will it not work if fitbit is synced

Does anyone else notice...
On the weekends, I get considerably more sleep, anywhere from 9-11 hrs opposed to my 6-8 hours during the work week. Every time I weigh myself Saturday and Sunday morning, I weigh less than I did during the week. Could getting enough sleep actually contribute to this? Or is this just a fluke? its happened the past 4 weeks,…

Work Snacks
I LOVE the flavor and few ingredients that are in Larabars, but they don't keep me full. I cant stand quest bars. Does anyone have any bars that will keep me full (as a snack) but that taste good and dont have a ton of ingredients? Any other suggestions for snacks at work?
