Help with Fitbit Inspire-Too many calories?
Why is my Fitbit inspire/MFP giving me so many extra calories??? I have my settings to the lowest activity level, thinking that my tracker will sync and add the extra calories. But it seems waaaaayyyy off. Please see attached pictures. Thanks!

How much for Chinese food? Calories?
Having Chinese food for dinner, how much would you estimate one plate (not heaping) will be? Will fill the plate with mostly veggies, and then springroll, fried rice and lemon chicken. Best estimate? I know there is no way to know for sure, but just looking for a ball park figure. Thanks!

Numb toes with new running shoes?
Just purchased a new pair of saucony running shoes. They felt great in the store, a lot tighter and more supportive than my old shoes, however, I went for my first run/walk with them and my toes started going numb about 5 minutes in. Do they just need some breaking in? Or should I return them and find something different?

How much weight (water) do you gain during ovulation?
I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I'm needing some reassurance. After logging/weighing my food and consistently being in a deficit of 500+ calories a day for the past week-I've gained 1.6 lbs this week! I wear a Fitbit and tend to eat most of my extra calories, goals set to 1lb per week. I'm sure it's…

Calories burned make no sense-help me understand?
If someone can explain how this works, I would really appreciate it. I've screen shot the past 3 days, and I just don't understand, how my calorie burn is calculated. Yesterday I had less activity and fewer steps, yet I burned more than the day before? And the day before I have 3000 steps more plus an additional 60 minutes…

Syncing issue driving me crazy!
On average my tdee is 2300 calories according to Fitbit. I am quite active on a daily basis. When it syncs to MFP the adjustment seriously messes with my head. Was well into the positive last night before bed, in the morning well into the red. MFP is saying my tdee is only 1606, which is way off and very inaccurate.…

Just to be clear...
I know that the syncing between MFP and Fitbit are a little wonky right now, but during this time, do I follow Fitbit's tdee and subtract 500 calories? (Lose 1lb per week), or do I follow MFP's estimation? There is a huge difference between the two right now. Which is more accurate at this point? Just got my Fitbit last…

Fitbit calorie adjustment question-help please!
According to Fitbit my tdee yesterday was 2279 total calories. I have MFP set to lose 1lb per week, so that would be 500 calorie deficit per day, which would put me at 1779 to lose-correct? Well when it synced to MFP last night I had an extra +300 calories added to MFPs estimate of 1370 calories per day which doesn't add…

Fitbit Charge: Eat back adjusted calories?
Just got my fitbit charge last night so today is my first day using it. It's been synced to MFP, and it's saying my "exercise" or adjusted calories are at +371 so far today and has added that to my remaining calories. It's only 2:20pm-I did exercise in the morning and have my level set to lightly active. I'm set to lose…

Diastis Recti-Any exercises to help?
After having my twins I had a fair bit of ab separation-about 1.5-2 fingers width of separation, 21 months later, I'm down to about 0.5-1 fingers width. Can anyone recommend good exercises to pull them back together completely?

Ovulation Weight Gain
I know about retaining water during TOM, but what about ovulation? I have been maintaining (one day I gained) for the past few days despite staying within my caloric intake and exercising. The only reason I can think of as to why I could be retaining water is I'm ovulating. Does this sound about right? Common? Anyone else…

Fitbit-New or Used?
I'm currently in the market for a Fitbit Charge HR-should I spend the extra cash and buy new? Or would buying a used one be okay too? The person who is selling her Fitbit Charge HR said this was a replacement as her original was acting up. She now uses something else so has no need for it. They sell for $199 here she is…

What activity level would you consider a SAHM?
I'm a mom to four-5yrs and under including 20 month old twins. My daughter is in kindergarten full time and I'm at home with my 3yr old and twins during the day.

I took a 1-2 month break to maintain for a little while, and when I came back most of my friends either deleted me, or haven't been logging. I am looking for some new motivational friends!

Pain after first time doing C25K?
Started C25K yesterday, and during the actual exercise I felt great! I was doing 5.2 during the running and 4.0 during the walking adding a 3.0 incline towards the end. About an hour after, I had an achy feeling in my right knee (seems to be okay now), but I woke up today and my groin/hip area is so sore! I have clicking…

Face Changes! Feel free to add yours!
Not sure where the old face thread went, so I thought I'd start a new one. The first pic I was 13mos postpartum with my first child (she is 2.5yrs old now) and I would say around 175-ish lbs. The second pic was taken today at 142.6lbs and 3 mos PP with my second child. I am shocked at how much my face has changed! I am not…

Plateaued-Tell me what I need to do...
So I think I've hit the dreaded plateau and I'm not really sure what I should be doing to break through it. I go up a 1/2 pound and down a 1/2 pound and it's been going on for 3-4 weeks now. I try to eat well, but often I am on the run and grab something quick on the way. Currently I'm eating around 1400 cals per day. MFP…

Lumpy Fat?
So I have been counting cals since the birth of my son (2 months) and exercising since I got the go ahead from my OB (about 2-3 weeks now). I noticed today when I pinch my fatty areas it's lumpy/grainy fat especially in my abdomen. It used to be more of a firm fat if that makes sense. Anyone know what this means? And will…

Breast feeding...
Anyone know how many calories are burned? I can't seem to find anything in the cardio/strength to input in my diary. I have my weightloss set at 1/2lb per week (just over 1500 cals) is this enough or should I be eating more? Thanks!

Iron rich foods?
Looking at my daily diet I am pretty low in Iron...I don't really eat red meat simply because I don't like the taste. Occasionally, I will eat a steak but that's about it. Just wondering if you know of any iron rich foods which I can incorporate into my daily diet...I suppose I could take a multi vitamin too. Thanks!
