Fitbit Flex HELP please
I just got a Fitbit Flex and I'm so confused on the dashboard calorie tracking thing!!! I did the "guided" weight loss calorie instructions and if I'm not mistaken it tells me to eat less than 1,000 calories a day!?!?! That's not going to happen! So I manually set calorie intake at 1200, one tracker says I'm at 120% of my…

I am a chocolate milk aholic.... with that said, I want to say that just for fun I entered the amount of what I was drinking into the MFP food tracker, and I was shocked when I realized I was taking in 800-1600 calories from my "addiction" alone!!! No wonder I'm not liking the changes I'm seeing in my body. Shape change,…

Eating after weight loss...just wondering
I've been thinking about the "dieting" portion of loosing weight. Currently restricting/lowering calorie intake and working out to loose weight. Then when you get to your goal weight you increase you calorie intake to maintain, hopefully still working out. Wouldn't you start gaining the weight back? Is there anyone here…

Anything you can tell me about the Foreman Grill...
We bought a George Foreman grill, I've never cooked on one before. I know nothing about them. I tossed some porkchops on there tonight and cooked til I hoped they were done lol....

I'm back!!! But not without a problem, advice please,,,
I joined MFP last year and I lost 25 pounds from Feb - May 2012 by working out and tracking what I ate. I've gone through some "stuff" since Jun 2012. I stopped working out and stopped tracking what I ate. Now, you guessed it, I'm back where I started, almost. I've lost my muscle tone that I gained and have gained back the…

I had put on a pair of jeans, and they were bugging the crap out of me with how big they were around my waist. So I decided to change jeans.... so I pulled the ones I had on off, WITHOUT unbuttoning them! That's good, right? lol

I dont umnderstand my scales and a calorie question...
I know I probably shouldn't but I weigh every morning just to see what my body is doing. Yesterday I weighed 127 and today I weighed 130. Is it because I had spaghetti for supper? Maybe pasta is a no-no? My boyfriend says is might be that I'm gaining muscle and that could be the weight fluxuation. I'm sore for working out…

Very discouraged
I bought a heart rate monitor so that I would get a more accurate count of the calories I was burning during my circuit training workout. I just did a 55 minute workout and it says I only burned 33 calories.... Ok what is the problem, the calorie counter is in the pedometer mode. Does that mean it only calculates calories…

Give me some advice please, or a kick in the pants...
I lost my job 3 weeks ago, I'm a single mom trying to finish a course so that I can work from home. Not sure that I'm depressed about loosing my job, the stress of working there was much more than the stress of not having a job. I am ok financially til I get my course done and can work at home. Here's what I'm finding... -…

Weekend... not good
Well I didnt do very well over the weekend... we traveled out of town for the weekend and of course I never know what to eat when I travel. Needless to say I'm over on Calories and not much water drank and the only exercise was in and out of stores, a concert, and a little dancing. Not near a healthy weekend in my opinion.…
