Fitbit double-adding food totals?
I keep track of my food in MFP and my exercise in FB, and I have the two linked. Normally, the two talk together very well. Recently, however, Fitbit has been double-adding certain food totals, making it seem as though I've eaten hundreds (sometimes thousands) of calories over what I've entered into MFP. Anybody else seen…

Fitbit challenges
Someone invited me to a Fitbit Challenge and I'm like, Yay, so I signed up...and ever since then I get lots of notifications on my iPhone app about the challenge, but every time I try to look at the Challenges page the app freezes. I can't find anywhere on the website that mentions these Challenges -- does anyone have a…

Fitbit not syncing...with Fitbit
I looked at the Fitbit app on my phone to see how many calories I had left today (since I follow the Fitbit more than MFP, even though they're close) and it says: "1890 cals in -- 2552 cals out. 1479 calories left in your budget." Whoa, that is a lot of ice cream I can eat...wait, WHAT? So I went to look at Fitbit.com and…

You can pry my Force from my...
....oops, the strap broke. Of course, they won't fix it. I can only send it in and get a refund. Sigh. I REALLY LIKE MY FORCE.

What is insulin sensitivity?
Despite using those words, I'm not looking to start a fight... ...and I realize that saying that is probably the easiest way to start a fight around here. But it's not my intention. Honest. :flowerforyou: In many threads, posters will mention they have insulin sensitivity, which affects what foods they can eat and how fast…

Calorie burns for SL
Yeah, I know, everyone's favorite MFP topic. Do you enter in your weight lifting sessions into the cardio part of MFP -- that is, do you enter them in to get the calories burned/extra calories? Or do you leave it off because "everyone says" they're too inexact to count? I have been leaving them off -- my CICO last month…

Apps for logging workouts?
I don't like the Stronglifts app, because while it's good for the 5 work sets and remembering where you should be and moving you up, etc., it doesn't let you include warmup sets, and if I don't write my warmup sets down I don't remember what they are. I have been using the Gym Goal 2.0 app. The good: it lets you keep track…

Neck cords
Okay, this is kind of a weird topic, but I ain't never seen nothing like this before... I was doing the OHP with dumbbells today -- I'm at 27.5x2. I take it "easy" on OHP because a)female upper body and b)I've had surgery on both shoulders. So I'm sitting in the chair, staring in the mirror, and I do my warmups at 15.…

Getting very frustrated
I have lost weight on my own before -- a few years ago I went from 180 to 140 through diet and exercise.. I also remember being frustrated at the start of that weightloss journey, but you can see how I ended up in my profile pic. Once things got going they progressed well over 6 months. This time, I restarted around Jan. 1…

Looking for OHP alternatives
Hello! I started SL last month -- I needed to get back into the gym, and while I've lifted for years, I recently had an injury that led to taking some time off. I needed something "simple" like SL to entice me to go back. The injury, unfortunately, was one of my shoulders. I had surgery on it last January and I am fully…

Getting discouraged
I got a wake up call on my weight a few months ago, when I went to the doctor's office. I weighed 141 a few years ago, after a lot of work (diet + exercise) and the doctor said I was up to 168. I think that was with clothes and post-breakfast, but still. So. I started tracking my food (first with Lose It, then with MFP)…

Stage 1 for weight lifting vets?
In a few topics I've seen variations of "Stage 1 is pretty much to get you acclimated to using weights." I've been lifting weights on and off for 25 years, pretty much straight on for the last 5, and I've always regarded them as much better for getting into shape than cardio. Is Stage 1 still useful for me to do? Should I…

A slight whine about protein
I know, I know, I know -- I'm supposed to eat more protein. Either 1g per lb of LBM, or 1g per lb of body weight (I've read both things, different places). I'm aiming for 1g per lb of LBM because GAH this is so not happening right now. I'm going to have to view my entire daily food supply in terms of getting in at least…

Wow...MFP can be a tough town
I'm reading up on the kerfuffle in one of those other forums. And rather than focus on the b*tchiness and meanness I'm seeing, I'd just like to say I think the people in this forum are very supportive and I really appreciative reading your enthusiastic, helpful posts!
