Cubii under-desk elliptical
My fiance just ordered me a Cubii for my birthday and it'll be here in about a week. I'm really excited and curious if anyone here has experience with them. Do you feel it really provides moderate exercise? Do you think the calorie burns are accurate, or maybe inflated? I'm 5'2 and work a desk job, with a 2 hr total…

DB hip thrusts, strain on quads?
So I've recently started to "attempt" to incorporate hip thrusts, since my glutes definitely need some isolated attention. I am having an issue where the strain on my quads bracing my upper body against the bench is more tiresome than the strain on my glutes performing the thrust motion. So my thighs are failing before I'm…

Funny things actually-fit people say
I really enjoy seeing/reading the woo people post on social media and other fitness platforms, which is why I frequent the fitbit community page. It's especially eyebrow-raising when it comes from people who already seem fit and have a least most of it figured out. This girl posted pictures of her very impressively muscled…

I know flying can cause you to retain water for a few days due to the pressure change, so I know my weight will be off for a little bit after I get back. My question is whether I should skip logging my weight all…

Not at my goal, but proud of my progress so far (pics)
I've always been relatively thin, I'm 26 and 5'2 and since my teens my weight has stayed around 115-120lbs. I had my son at 22, and stayed around 125-130 after having him. About 2 years ago I started a medication (adderall) that completely suppressed my appetite, and this is what started me leading a very unhealthy…

MFP changes Macro goal daily?
I have overridden MFP macro goals to fit my personal goals, but I have noticed that every day, the goal amount for each changes. i.e. Sunday's stated goals were: P-114, C-114, F-68; yesterday's goals were: P-120, C-120, F-71; and today's are P-104, C-104, F-62. It's not that big of a deal because I mainly want to ensure I…
