Kettlebell Kitchen? Experiences?
I'm one of the lucky few to live in the AmazonFresh zones of NYC....seriously incredible grocery delivery at completely reasonable prices! Anyhow, they offer kettlebell kitchen delivered to your door. It is NOT cheap- about $13/ large meal, but I really would like to supplement my groceries and cooking with healthy,…

I'm not plus size nor am I very slim. HELP ME BUY A BATHING SUIT!!
I know this isn't exactly motivation, but its also not exactly chit chat and I'm assuming other women must run into this issue too. I'm a size 6,8, or 10 (US) depending on clothing and brand. In most things I am a 6, but in higher end designers I can creep up to a ten. I'm not where I want to be yet in terms of weight and…

switching from fitbit to vivofit, quick question
Hey guys, Switching from a fitbit zip to vivofit as I was having issues with my zip and got the vivo as a christmas present. I have synced Garmin connect to mfp, and have synced my vivo to the garmin connect phone app. Does this mean that, like with fitbit, my calories will autmotically adjust in MFP throughout the day as…

wine lovers...a fun little thing I discovered!
The calorie cuvee https://caloriccuvee.com/ (also available on Amazon.) It holds up with almost every variety of wine I have plugged in. I'm enjoy 200 cals of tasty pino noir right now!! I love little gadgets like this, they make me feel indulgent despite calorie restriction :) Drinking is probably my BIGGEST barrier to…

I NEED to start working out in the AM before work. Help!
I really need to start working out before work. I have full access to a gym as well as spin classes in the AM twice a week. I don't need to be in to work until about 8:45. I have NO excuse not to just DO IT. But instead I'll set the alarm, get up, and then immediately think OH HELL NO and sleep for another hour! I know…

A nifty thing I've learned from Paleo so far...
I moved and have traveled a bunch over the past month so I have NOT been strictly paleo. But I have been trying, and have had stretches of several days of good solid paleo eating and I like it! I have noticed through eliminating and reintroducing foods that my terrible acne I've had my whole life responds VERY noticeably…

Yucky question about bodily functions, read at own risk!
Before anyone asks, I am seeing a doctor TOMORROW about this, just looking for opinions here. For the last five days I have had diarrhea approximately twice per day, once in the morning when I wake up and once at night. It is not pleasant. The diarrhea started the morning after I had three pints of pumpkin hard cider on an…

considering paleo, can I get your input?
I'm considering a 90/10 type paleo diet after doing some research. The primary reason is hormonal balancing. I suspect I have undiagnosed PCOS. I see my obgyn yearly and have discussed my issues, but they've never done an ultrasound which seems like the only way to conclusively prove anything. However, I was put on BC…

Your paleo work lunches?
I'm a lawyer and need to pack my lunch. In the past I was all about yogurt and sandwiches but I really want to stick to paleo and carbs under 75g. What do you pack for lunch that is paleo friendly? Thanks!

Biotin and hair thinning (women)
Wondering if any women take Biotin for hair growth and what their experience has been. I've been shedding more than usual lately since going off the pill for the first time in a few years (a common side effect.) I'm hoping Biotin might combat that, but I've read mixed reviews and already take a multi vitamin, iron around…

how does hunger manifest in you?
When I'm trying to diet I adopt this habit where I don't eat until my stomach grumbles. But lately I've been noticing that the occasional drowsiness/ crappy feeling I get lines up exactly with when I get to the grumbly stomach state. Usually I feel tired, and my vision and focus feels....less sharp? Brain fog is how I…

help for my manfriend
Hi friends, I'm more familiar with general weight loss tips for women, but looking for some input (perhaps from men) for my lovely boyfriend. He is 6'2", 211, and has high cholesterol. The doctor did not tell him how high (and was fairly unhelpful...his advice was eat less fat, exercise, and come back to check again in 3…

Hello! I'm new!
Hi friends, I am just embarking on a trial period with paleo. My primary goals are to lose about 25 lbs and manage the symptoms of my mild PCOS (acne, low energy, anxiety. Nothing life altering, but definitely annoying.) I'm not planning on giving up alcohol, so I think I can probably aspire to do about 85/15 of good paleo…

"Evil" motivation...muah hah haaahhhh
I want to lose weight to be healthy and look and feel good and have energy. BUT, sometimes I am inspired by less-than-honorable motivations. In a little over six weeks I am going to a wedding with my boyfriend that his ex will be at. I swear I'm a good person....but it would be nice to look so damn hot that she cries a…

How important are micro nutrients??
I feel like I've had a REVELATION lately. I used to use mfp strictly to count calories. Then I was able to work in tracking macros, but I wasn't always where I wanted to be. Lately I've been feeling sluggish, my anxiety has been worse than usual, I felt more generally achy, a few more tension headaches than normal, and for…

Feeling generous today? Help me come up with a lifting plan?
I need a plan that can be done in my apartment gym- dumbbells and machines, no big barbells or squat rack or any of that. I have tried to get into a solid lifting plan in the past but I sort of amble around with no clear plan, get bored, and end up just doing some random exercises for 15 minutes then hop on the treadmill.…

High fat diet and digestive issues
Lately I've been having digestive problems. Specifically (sorry to be graphic) loose stools. I wouldn't exactly say diarrhea because it isn't that horrible stomach ache RUN to the bathroom type thing that you get with food poisoning, but it definitely isn't your standard healthy poop! I'm trying to see what might be…

Blackberry mug cake!
Made this tonight and it kicks butt!!! I'm a big fan of mug cakes because I have a major sweet tooth but need to make single servings or else I'll gobble down an entire cake! Tonight I wanted to incorporate blackberries. I eyeball all of this, and you have to play around with it depending on how much cake you want.…

Am I logging exercise correctly with my fitbit?!?! Halp
Hello- I love my fitbit, but it confuses me sometimes. I'm taking 10,000 steps per day between normal activity, walking, jogging, and occasionally the elliptical. I do not log these activities in MFP. I take a power yoga class about twice a week, and a group strength training/ core circuit class for an hour twice a week. I…

Fitbit help needed
I'm sure this has been asked before but search didnt give me anything on point. I have a fitbit zip. I run daily and lift five days a week. I walk to and from school, the courthouse, jail, coffee, etc. Fitbit is synced with MFP. What if any exercise do I need to record in MfP to get an accurate calorie reading for the day?…

Horrible runner's knee has made squatting impossible
Hello friends- I developed pretty terrible runners knee in my left knee about six months ago. The pain comes and goes depending on my training. It doesn't hurt while I run, but it hurts any time it is flexed. It is especially painful at night or right when I get up in the morning. I haven't seen a doctor but I'm positive…
