Looking for a cheap cell phone plan
Ok, so I have a cell phone from Tracfone for emergencies (which I never keep on me anyway sooooo....) I can't even text on the Tracfone phone and my boss keeps saying how it would be nice if I had a cell phone so he can text me things. Personally, I'm trying to avoid him calling me for every little thing he can't find or…

Pronating or now supinating?
Yes, I know, go to a running shoe shop. :) My only concern is that after finding a shoe that works, I'll get home and realize it was a mistake after wearing them longer and have to take them back. And I'm still sore from the last time this happened and the scolding I got. Aaaaaanyway, I have pttd on my left foot. Now, I'm…

Lower Calorie Protein Bars
I know we have a lot of threads on protein bars but I, of course, have to be a snowflake (damn, that "l' did NOT want to come out of my fingers when typing that). :) Quest got rid of their Beyond Cereal Bars which is really the only bars of theirs I continued to eat. They were perfect for what I needed: 100ish calories,…

Let's talk dentures!
Not that I really want to but I probably/most likely/99.9% sure will be getting them in the immediate future. (Hopefully, if it happens, because we're still slow at work but that's going to change reeeeeeally soon.) I have a consultation with my dentist next Thursday about my options but I like to be prepared/know what to…

One overestimates/AltaHR reeeeeeeally overestimates
Ok, so here's my problem. My One suddenly decided to overestimate calories on a walking dvd I do in my apartment by about 50 calories each hour. I'm pretty sure it already overestimated anyway. So I decided to dig out my AltaHR which I only used once because it reeeeeeally overestimated to see what it gave me for the dvd…

Work drama and not sure what to do
People are going to say this is none of my business and they'd be essentially right but I've been a ventee for one of the people involved for close to a year so I sorta am involved too. In a nutshell, my boss and his girlfriend broke up but never really acted on it. They live together and she also works here. It turned out…

Soda and teeth
Soooooooo I started drinking diet soda again and the only thing I'm concerned about is its effect on tooth enamel. My teeth aren't really the best which is why I'm asking. How much do you think you'd have to drink for there to cause problems? Right now I'm basically just drinking a large cup I pick up from a gas station or…

If you can't eat to your calorie goal
Or just don't want to.... I'll take 'em. I'll take 'em all. Because, let me tell you, even trying to maintain on an average of 2400 calories a day, I could still eat more. I did not lose my appetite along with the weight. :)

Email Customer Support?
Did fitbit completely get rid of being able to contact them via email? There isn't an email option on the website and the two I used previously from my email account didn't work. I'd just prefer email over anything else. :)

Has Weight Watchers gone insane?
I haven't done WW in years but I like to keep up with their program changes and on the new Freestyle program, protein sources and some starchy vegetables are now 0 point foods? Do they realize how many extra calories a day their members can injest on just chicken and peas alone? I kind of want to bust into a meeting and…

This was a baaaaaaaaaad week
Monday there were unweighed/uncounted pringles and puffed cheetos so I estimated the calories to log. Tuesday there were dark chocolate peanut butter cups (I didn't need to estimate those calories.) Wednesday a client brought a homemade lasagna which is something I don't normally eat so I went a bit overboard and then…

Will a zero drop shoe help me?
I'm just putting out there that going to a running shoe store instead of posting on here would probably be a better option but I'm trying to avoid that for now so here's my question. :) Right now I'm wearing Saucony Guide 8s (I didn't like the 9s so didn't want to move on) but I think my ebay sources are drying up so I…

Is anyone taking probiotics to help?
I just started taking some but I'm not sure I'm even taking the right ones or what I should look for in the probiotic or how long I should wait to see results. Or even what those results are. It's been...well...ok only a week now that I think about it but still....! :smile:

I was told to gain weight. You'd think I'd be more happy about this!
Hello, people in a section of the mfp message boards I thought I'd never have to venture into. Everyone have a good weekend? Good! (Or awwwwwww :( ) I think I need a little mfp therapy session. :) A little background: I'm 5'2" and, as of last Saturday, 100.8 (those 1/10ths of a pound are always important) lbs. I saw my…

Latest WTF is going on question :)
Ok, so, I'd gained a pound and wondered if it could have been because of a swollen ankle. My sodium stays low and I'm pretty consistent with what I eat so I . It ended up not mattering because I lost the pound plus another pound a half the next week. Then a half a pound each week for the following 3 weeks. The swollen…

Why the guilt?
So lately I've seen various posters say they feel guilty for over eating or gaining weight, etc. Why do you/they feel guilty? I mean, if I tell myself I'm only going to eat half a donut but end up eating that half and a whole extra donut, as well, I feel annoyed with myself but never guilty. Even if I knowingly…

Can a swollen ankle cause weight gain?
Obviously not *real* weight gain but maybe masked water weight or something? I've had a swollen ankle for about a month (seeing a podiatrist tomorrow) so my exercise has been somewhat reduced as has my food intake. I also cheated less (didn't underestimate logging stuff I just had no idea the calories of) and my sodium was…

Antibiotic Associated Colitis
Ok, so, first off...yes, of course I'm under the care of my gastro. I had a tooth infection and my dentist prescribed amoxicyllin. I'd never had a problem with it before so took it without running it by my gastro first. Of course, that was a dumb idea. So now I have antibiotic associated colitis and was put on vancomycin…

Dumb question about buying clothes online and sizing
I hate shopping so I've taken to buying clothes online (which I never really aspired to do but oh well) :) I'm looking at shorts and the difference between hips and waist is 10" on the size charts but the difference between my hips and waist is about 7 1/2". Do I get closer to my hip size with the smaller waist or the…

Speaking of food scales....
I feel the need for a new kitchen toy. Who has a digital food scale that weighs liquid as well as dry? How accurate is the liquid part? How does the scale know it's liquid vs dry? HOW DOES IT KNOW?!?!?! :)

Charge HR - I think I'm done
I stopped trying to figure out why my chr was giving me such inflated calories and decided to beat my One into submission because I realized it was overestimating calories too. I played around with my stride lengths until I got it as close as I was gonna get. So, last night, I decided to give the chr a shot again since I…
