fitbit users
So I synced my fitbit to mfp. It adds calories based on my activity with fitbit. Does anyone actually use these extra calories or do I just ignore them?

Is organic milk really better?
I currently buy organic milk for my kids (I use almond for my cereal & cooking, but I don't really drink it). I'm just really wondering if it's actually better. I don't really like my kids drinking milk at all but if they must, I serve them organic. My oldest son who's in school drinks regular at school when he buys and he…

Pedometers??
I don't understand how you can accurately use a pedometer to record calories burned. When we set an activity level, doesn't it basically average your steps in? I have mine set to active which assumes I'm on my feet most of the day walking, so would a pedometer even be worth the trouble for me? I guess I don't understand…

10k training....
From the running experts out there, help please? I'm currently able to run a 5k (not super easily or anything) but I can do it. I want to run a 10k race at the end of october. Do you think it's possible to train myself to run a 10k by then?

Learning Spanish
Has anyone purchased a Spanish learning system and used it with success? I'm looking to buy one and would prefer NOT to go with super-expensive-Rosetta-Stone. I found another one online at StudySpanish.com that seems good but I'm nervous to make the investment. Any testimonials of any??

Vegan question
So I just wanna clear a couple things up.... is it NOT vegan if the package says... 1. "May contain trace amount of milk and eggs" (or similar) or 2. "This product is processed in a facility that manufactures milk, eggs....etc" I'm just confused as to whether they're vegan or not! Thanks! :D

Newly vegetarian....debating on vegan
I just officially made the vegetarian decision at the end of last week....had meat on Sunday though with my mother because she made a nice meal and I didn't want to make her feel bad. She knows now that I am going veggie. I watched Forks Over Knives last night and can't help but debate going vegan now. It just sounds so…

Favorite unrefined sugar?
I made my first loaf of vegan wheat bread today, it's pretty good....BUT it had me use stevia in the raw. I had some on hand and couldn't stand it in my coffee or tea so I figured I'd use it up. Well I can still taste it in the bread. I had to add some butter to the top to kill the taste (I'm not fully vegan yet). What is…

Vegetarian questions
I'm really thinking about becoming vegetarian. But I have some questions... What do you do in social situations? Like going to someone's house, like the in-laws for instance, and they serve meat at the main dish? You can't just be like NO, I'm not eating that. lol I just don't know how I'd handle those kinds of things.…

Does this make any sense?
I just switched my settings from "lose 1 lb a week" to "maintain". I have reached my goal weight even though I tend to fluctuate up and down a few pounds. Anyway...I am currently breastfeeding an older infant (almost 9 mo) so I add in 300 cals for that. Then with the maintain, it added 500? So my calorie goal is set to…

Pharmacy Techs out there? Activity level q
Anyone else a pharmacy technician? I'm curious about the activity level. I have mine set to lightly active. I also work out 5x a week and take care of my 3 little boys when I'm at home. My pharmacy is very busy most of the time so there's a lot of walking. I'm just curious if I'm correct with the "lightly active" setting…

Taebo!
So I've been using running as my form of exercise the past couple weeks since I started my tone-up/diet. But because of weather conditions & now my knee is acting up, I decided to try my old taebo VHS I've had since forever. I actually found a tape I didn't even know I had called the 8 minute taebo workout. I figured I'd…
