How to burn more calories
Since most of the people in this group are on the lower side in terms of weight, how do you burn more calories? I prefer to do aerobic/dance type exercises. The only one I really have right now is Turbo Jam. I have to do the low-impact version due to weak ankles. According to MFP, 40 minutes of low-impact aerobics only…

Foods to Eat/Avoid with IBS and/or GERD
I have a VERY sensitive stomach and I tend to get symptoms of both of these. But the ones the bother me most are nearly constant gas and irregular bowel movements (I know TMI).

Sore Upper Back

How much oil do you guys use on the pan? Any other…

I'd also like…

Starting to feel under the weather
I'm not sure if I'm getting sick or it's just allergies or the change in seasons. But I feel pretty lousy with a sore throat and nasal congestion. For some reason it seems to be affecting my appetite because I feel a lot hungrier than usual. In addition, I don't even know what to do about exercise since it's hard for me to…

Hi I'm Danielle!
Hi everyone! I'm Danielle, I'm 22 and a senior in college in New Jersey. I've used the MFP iPhone app for awhile but this is my first time using the website. I've been counting calories since the summer (I used to use a different website, but I like this one a lot better) and I've lost most of the weight I put on last year…
