My GED is showing
If a serving size is 1/4 cup and you only used a tsp, how would you input that? There are 12 tsp's in 1/4 cup, that's as far as I got.

walking A LOT
We are taking the kids to the zoo tomorrow. Would you track all the walking as exercise? I don't have a HRM, so I would have to estimate it.

should I? shouldn't I?
I don't have an air popper for pop corn. I just use oil in a pan and cook it over the stove. Do I add the oil to my calories?

I NEED HELPPPP
I've been struggling with under eating. Some days I only have like 500 calories. Yes I know. That's crap and I need to eat more. I really want to eat ALL my calories this week, but I don't want to eat junk just to get some calories in. It was actually my goal for this week to EAT. Problem is.....I woke up this morning…

This is probably a dumb question
When you burn calories do you burn the micros too? Like...say you've eaten 500 calories and in those was 20 gms of fat. If you go to the gym and burn 500 calories off are you also burning the fat gms off? I'm not really concerned about it, just curious. And before you get your panties in a twist, obviously if you burned…

Help!
Is there anywhere to see your weekly calories on here? I know there is that bar graph thingy. I don't remember how to find it though. But is there anywhere that will tell you the actual number of calories for the week? I'm just kinda curious.

dinner idea
My kids and husband are having burgers and mac and cheese. I don't want that. Not because of the whole weight loss thing, but I just don't like burgers and mac and cheese, actually I hate mac and cheese. I would rather go hungry. It's the day before pay day, and we are struggling this week pretty hard. I have potatoes.…

weekly vs daily
I've heard a few on here say that weekly calories are more important that daily calories and that if you are low one day it's ok to go over the next, or if you are over one day it's ok to go under the next. Is this true? Any information to back it?

Stationary bike
Does anyone else feel like the stationary bike is a waste? I could be on there for a half hour and not even break a sweat. According to MFP it burns a lot of calories, but I don't think it's right at all. I plan on getting a HRM soon so I can be more accurate. I have a hard time even getting my HR up on the bike. I rarely…

swelling during a work out
My hands and feet swell pretty bad during a work out. Even lower intensity work outs. After about an hour (after I'm done) they return to normal. Any ideas why? google was no help

Please don't judge me
So I went from seriously over eating. (anywhere from 3-7K cals a day) to now under eating. It is seriously a struggle to put food in my mouth at all. I usually get to 900, sometimes 1K. I know I need to eat more. I know this isn't healthy and is going to hurt me in the long run. I set goals for myself to eat more through…

vegetarian/vegan
Can any of you recommend a vegan protein powder? I'd rather not go with one that is milk based.

Would it be weird
If I posted an add on craigslist looking for a trainer? I can't afford much. I really just wanna find someone that can go to the gym with me a few times and show me some weights. I know nothing about weights. I do the circuit training at my gym, and use the machines that are already set up for you.

Jealousy
How do you deal with jealousy from others? Normally I don't really care and just laugh it off. But I can't really ignore my mother. As much as I'd like to. She is here a lot visiting the kids. She is constantly making little comments about my weight. Egging me on to eat junk. Telling me my goal is too small. Got mad at me…

food pyramid
So it's recommended that you eat 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day. So is that 5 total, like you could eat 3 veggies and 2 fruits? Or 5 of each? And what is considered a serving of fruit? Would an apple be one serving?

Crap
I ate crap today, then I felt like crap. Then I realized that I'm not gonna gain 37 pounds back from eating crap for one day and tomorrow is another day. Then I started reading douchebagery posts and got entertained. How's your night going? *hiccups*

Kinect
I have been playing the biggest loser for my Kinect. It's an awesome work out and damn do you feel it. I just am not sure how to log it. I don't want to go by what the kinect says because there are a bunch of times I end up going off sensor even though I'm still doing it. I have 3 dogs and kids that like to get in my way…

1 year
So I gave myself until Christmas to lose 100 pounds. I started in the middle of January so that gives me just under a year. I've lost 25 so far, tomorrow I weigh myself so hopefully more like 27. So that's like 2 months. So basically 12.5 pounds a month so far. For whatever reason, I feel like I'm in a race though, and I…

depression
I know I'm not putting this into the right category...couldn't figure out where to put it. Anywho...I've suffered from depression/anxiety my whole life. I spent a year of my life in the hospital. I was on meds from the time I was 9 until I was 14 and at that time my parents refused to pay for them so I had no choice but to…

Where exactly do you measure your stomach and hips? I've been measuring my stomach at my belly button. I've also been measuring the "muffin top".

30 day shred
Everyone keeps raving about this. Can someone explain it to me before I go out and buy it? Is it something you do everyday or is there a break day? How long is the work out? Do you know if it's still ok to go to the gym on top of doing this? Any other info you can give me. Thank you!

chinese food
I am craving some damn Chinese food. Is there anything that is ok to eat? What if I just get the chicken and broccoli and no noodles or rice?

sugar
If I stay within calorie range, how horrible is it if I go out of my sugar range? Staying within range I am finding very hard. I have had a few off days, but even on my good days, it's almost impossible. There seems to be some sort of sugar in everything, even healthy stuff.

Iphone/android app obsession
I found an awesome app that I thought some of you might like. It's called Fooducate. Basically it's a bar-code scanner. You scan whatever food it is, and it comes back and tells you if it's good or bad for you and why.

sugar free/fat free snacks
I seem to be going over my sugar allowance everyday. I also seem to be pretty damn hungry at night. I know when you are trying to lose weight it's not good to eat late at night. I need some good snack ideas that are low in sugar or sugar free and low in fat that keep you full.
