Can't get into the right mindset. Help!
In the past I've used MFP to loose the lbs, and most importantly get fit and healthy too.

Do you believe the calories Fitbit says you've used?
Before getting my fitbit one I knew my activity level was probably somewhere between sedentary and lightly active on MFP, but I set to sedentary to be on the safe side. Yet some days my fitbit is giving me up to an extra 1000 calories a day, which according to my setting should still see me loosing 1lb a week, I just don't…

Has anyone done this dvd? I have Leslies 5 mile fat burning walk and 3 mile walk away the lbs for abs and love them both.

Sugar values - too low?
The recommended amount for a woman, bassed on 200 calories a day is 90g. So why, when I'm on 1380 cals a day does MFP only give me 26g? Or 68g when on maintenance cals of 1860? Now I know that too much sugar isn't good for us, but that is quite a big difference from the guidelines. I hate seeing red numbers on my diary,…
