Macronutrient ratio
What is your macronutrient ratio and why? I am having trouble deciding :) I'm looking in to 20 carb, 65 fat and 15 protein. I think I'm kinda worried that it is too high fat.

Weight up, body fat down
I joined a gym some months ago and have been doing classes 4 nights per week plus sometimes a walk or lifting on my own during the weekend. Nearly all of my muscles were atrophied due to lack of use (desk job) when I started. I have since gained 10lbs. My body fat measurement was taken when I first started this journey 4…

I think I'm an addict??
Hello all, I was hoping someone has this problem as well and knows how to help... I do really well when I'm focused on my weight loss and am able to lose with quite a bit of effort. My body doesn't seem to handle starches well so if I want to lose, I have to avoid most of them. Any way, even when I'm not actively trying to…

Macros ratio
What macro ratios are working for you? MFP reset mine after I lost 10lbs. I want to reset them but I need some guidance. I'm more of a low carber in regard to Paleo just FYI.

Huge NSV!
I started Paleo earlier this year and I will say it has definitely helped with my weight loss. Even more important, though, is that it has reversed my lupus! For this that know blood work, my ANA was above 1:1280. Ridiculously high!! Finally it has come down and is in the normal range 1:3. If you didn't know about the…

Have you heard of Kony?
Go to kony2012.com or YouTube search for the same. Spread the word if you dare :) I just feel like a group of so many motivated people might have some power to make other changes as well.

Fake sugar, diet soda and cravings
So in December, I decided to give up Splenda. My addiction started as a replacement for sugar and an excuse to eat more sweets. Honestly, quitting Splenda was one of the best choices I have made. My brain fog lifted, the sugar cravings stopped, I wasn't hungry all the time any more, I had more energy. Sweet things became…

Getting sick... How do you deal?? Need help
Getting sick is always the demise of my weight loss when I'm on a roll. It always seems to pop up after I've lost a few lbs. the problem is I don't feel well enough to exercise hard and sometimes I feel like skipping altogether. I'm a skip two work outs and fall off the bandwagon type of girl. I don't schedule in off days…

I survived the Super Bowl! Did you?
I certainly celebrated a Giants win but my diet didn't take a back seat. I got lucky because our party hosts had plenty of healthy choices. Along with the usual unhealthy hot dogs, brats and hamburgers they had grilled salmon, asparagus, coleslaw made with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Even the fries, chips, salsa and…

Does MFP "learn" how many METs a workout is?
So I mix up my routine and do a different type of cardio every day. I couldn't find cardio dancing in mfp but I do it many times a week. If you're wondering how, I use Xbox Kinect and play dance central or black eyed peas. Any way, I couldn't find it as an option so I put it in manually, based on what my hr monitor said.…

Any one weigh less NOT first thing in the morning?
I have noticed that when I weigh first thing in the morning (nekked and after the morning business), sometimes I will "feel" lighter just an hour or so later. When I check the scale, it will show me as up to a lb lighter. What gives? Where did those ounces go? Just breathing and sweating (I'm not generally a sweaty pig)?
