Hair dye and exercise
So I've just had some pink put through my blonde hair but not too sure if I can exercise without the swear effecting it? It is only a demi permanent dye so lasts about 12 washes but I want to try and prolong it as much as I can. Will it be a bad idea to exercise today and tomorrow before Christmas? Or am I best just…

Food diary has vanished
So I've randomly checked my food recordings from 2 years ago on here and they aren't there? None of my food has been stored but my exercise notes have! Is this an issue with mfp in general or is there something wrong with my app?

Christmas goal stuck!
I'm hoping I can lose 3lbs before Xmas but I just don't think it's going to happen. I don't know if I am just eating too much, I'm relying on my calories from my Fitbit charge gives me too much or whether I'm just stuck for some reason? Since about two months ago I dropped my calories to 1500 from 1670 hoping this would…

Am I eating too little?
So I've not lost any weight even though I was around 800 cals below my weekly goal last week :/ I know that's not enough to lose anything but surely it shouldn't be enough to gain and I have gone up 0.25lbs :( I'm really upset because next week I'll be drinking as we are having a Halloween party so I just know that I'll…

Changing your calorie deficit
So I want to change my calorie deficit in mfp so I am eating less than what I am now, however my charge 2 is linked to mfp so will it change all my past weekly food goals on my fitbit? For example might show me as being over my calorie limit because my deficit has been chopped by 150 calories with my new goal in place?…
-
Calorie Adjustment
So I thought fit bit counted my steps calorie burn? I only sync my fitbit at night but the calories burned from steps then get subtracted by the exercise I log. Surely they should be seperate or at least my steps from calories should be higher? Am I understanding it all wrong?

Charge 2 readings
My fitbit is giving different readings again for my exercise, I'm talking like 100 cals less than last time :/ I do at home exercise DVDs and it's saying one reading during one dvd and then another on the same DVD. I don't get the as I always wear my charge 2 on the same arm and in the same place. Help much appreciated!

Fit bit and steps

Fitbit Calorie Adjustment
Can someone please explain this too me? I have negative adjustments turned off because i only sync my charge 2 at the end of the day. I also do at home exercise which I log which I then manually enter into mfp, after this the fit bit calorie adjustment deducts by the number of calories I burn. I'm just confused? Do I keep…

Step counting?
Anybody count steps in their calorie burn? I've got a fitbit charge 2 and always delete the calorie burn from my steps and just focus on what I burn during exercise, but thinking about now counting them calories? Especially when I have an off plan day (birthdays etc)?

Really hungry in the morning
I get up at 6:30 for work and normally have breakfast at 9:00am in work but for a good few months now I've noticed just how hungry I am before I set off for work (7:15am) I mean I can last until 9:00am but am just wondering if anyone else has a similar problem and if so what they do about it? I normally have tea around…

Where do you wear your fitbit?
It says on the website just above your wrist bone but other people have been putting they wear it a few finger widths up from their wrist bone?

Fit bit Cals in VS Cals Out Zone
Which zone do you aim to be in? I'm normally in the under zone which is yellow (through the week) and more in the red zone at weekend hah but never been in the green zone? Just a bit confused on whether I should be in the under yellow zone or not for losing weight? Surely it makes sense to be under your calorie limit?

Fit Bit and Exercise DVD
Anybody explain why I have burnt less calories doing the same workout DVD? Last week I did one of my exercise DVDs and burnt (according to fit bit) 246 calories, but this time only 161 :/ I noticed I only ever reached the fat burn on my fit bit whereas the first time had cardio intervals, I'm so confused :/ it's the same…

How often do you exercise
I pretty much do 6-7 times per week (alternating each week) but did use to do 5-6 with a rest day. Am just wondering if people take rest days? If so how many per week?

Fit Bit
So I am thinking of getting a fit bit but I only want to be wearing it for when I work out and around the house, I do alot of at home exercise DVDS so am wondering if a fit bit would be able to tell me how many calories I have burned during working out. Had a quick look on Argos and there are so many types of fit bit I ama…

Almond milk
What does everyone use this in? I've put some in porridge and soup but any other uses would be great, bare in mind though I'm vegetarian :) I know I could use it in smoothies but not really into making them atm. I'm thinking quinoa overnight? I've made it before with almond milk and it is delish!

Belly button piercing
So I am thinking of getting my belly button pierced and I'm just wondering if during healing time this will effect my exercise? I normally do alot of Jillian Michaels DVDs so some things are where I lie on my stomach, just a bit dubious if a piercing is going to hinder this? Thank you!

Taking a rest week?
Advisable or not? Normally every 8 weeks I have a weeks rest from exercising. I've read online you should do this but just wondering if other mfp people do it?

Been weighing all wrong!
So I have been using a body fat scale since March and have recorded weekly weigh ins since then. However I have only just discovered that from mid June I have been getting on the scale with gender selected as a man :/ I thought that was a bit strange cos in June my muscle ration went up by 6% in a week but I just assumed…
