Clean Eating vs. Calorie Counting
I got on the scale this morning (after two days of "cheating") and I'm back to the weight I was when I first started tracking in December...almost a year ago!! It's time for me to be really honest with myself here and I'm making it public for accountability purposes. I have been really struggling with the clean eating vs.…

Fitbit zip is adding way too many calories
So it's been a pretty average day as far as exercise goes (normal burn about 2200 calories). It's only 3:30 PM and my fit bit is showing that I burned 5600 calories. It's wayyyyy off! Anybody else have this happen? Anybody know why? I haven't been using it consistently but need to start and now I'm super frustrated.

Paleo & Spirituality - NSV
So yesterday I almost gave in. I had struggled a little with the fact that the Paleo premise goes against everything that I believe as far as a creationist because it’s based on evolution. It was a mental struggle andI haven’t really had time to research it much. I did well with my food choices yesterday but after bible…

Dating while overweight
So I'm wondering if there are alot of people that put off dating until they feel they are in better shape? I had told myself that I was going to wait until I dropped at least most of the weight before I started dating again, but I've been single for so long and have really been longing to find a mate. Not that I need a…

Events, family dinners, company lunches, etc....
Does anyone skip events because of food? It seems like every week there are at least 2 or 3 dinners. lunches, birthdays, etc. that happen and I feel like I'm making no progress because I attend them and have no self control. I don't just feel like I'm making no progress, I've gained 3 pounds since the beginning of January!…

I think I'll be checking in each morning for the previous day. If I know I need to report what i've done then I think I'll stick with it :) I'm thinking a really simple…

Meal Planning - Pepperplate.com
I just had to share this site that I've been kinda using off & on the last month or so, but really committed to it this week and am so happy I did! It has really helped me stay under my calorie goal and saved me time & $$. I LOVE IT!! I've tried other meal planning services where you pay for a subscription, but I didn't…

Not obsessed anymore...could it be true?
I just realized that I am not completely obsessed with food anymore. I think eating low carb has really contributed to that because I'm seriously not hungry and when I do get a little peckish I know I can eat wonderful food that I actually enjoy instead of low fat, tasteless stuff. I used to think about food 24/7. If I was…

Adjusting goals/calories
I have been told that the best option for calorie count while pregnant is setting your goal to maintain during your first trimester then to gain 1/2lb during your 2nd & 3rd trimester. My question: Do you adjust your goal as you gain weight or just leave it the same or does it auto adjust when you "check in" with your most…

Bodymedia Fit & Sleep??
I just got my BMF this weekend and absolutely love it!! I have a question though, is the sleep function really accurate? I mean I know I'm a restless sleeper, but my report came back that I only got 3:13 hours of sleep on Saturday night (I believe it because I was up alot), but last night I felt like I got a pretty good…

Body Media Fit Questions...
I don't have one yet, but I'm seriously considering getting one. Before I spend the money I have a few questions: 1. Can you just log everything on MFP and not on the body media site and just use it to give you your true burn? For example, if I enter all my food here and just add in whatever extra calories the BMF shows…

Net Carb question
Hi all - I've done Atkins successfully after my daughter was born (13 years ago) but eventually gained the weight back plus alot extra. I've attempted it again a few times to no avail. About a month ago I found MFP and started logging calories which seemed ok, but I found myself eating too much processed stuff so I am…
