Charge Issue
I've had my charge synced with MFP for about 8 months without any issues. All of a sudden, it's subtracting my exercise calories from my total rather than adding them in. So, if I have a goal of 1500 calories and I burned 300, it's telling me that my goal is 1200. I have the negative calorie adjustments enabled and not…

Free Weights or Machines?
I've been doing a lot of cardio and decided to incorporate weight training to tone things up a bit. I've been using the machines at the gym, but watching others do all sorts of routines with free weights. Is there a difference between the machines and free weights? Will one give me a better work out than the other? Thanks.

Planet Fitness Anyone?
I've been a member at PF for almost a year. I don't have the "Black Card" membership, but just the regular $10/month membership. I am going to be in Florida for 2 weeks in December and would love to use a PF while on vacation. Does anyone know if I can use a PF away from home without having the Black Card Membership?

First Holiday Season on MFP
I joined MFP back in 2010, but didn't log or get serious until January, 2013. I've had great success over the last 10 months, and I have no intention of slipping or going back to what I was 50 + pounds ago. As the holiday season approaches, I find that I'm getting a bit anxious about how to manage all the parties,…

Paying Peope To Lose Weight.....
Interesting concept - wonder if it works long term? This was in a healthcare publication today. If you want people to slim down, why not reward them with gold? That's the tack being taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Alarmed at ballooning waistlines in a region where fast food is common and comfortable outdoor exercise…

Am I Too Old To Start Running??
Ok, so I really want to start running. I'm 49 and I've never been a runner. But, I really want to start. So, my 9 year old son and I went to the beach tonight for a walk/run. I tried doing something similar to the C25K thing, but honestly, I thought my lungs were coming out of my chest after 30 secnds of "running". I'm…

What To Look For In a Nutritionist?
My 11 year old daughter is significantly overweight. I have tried to teach her about good and bad foods, but coming from mom, it doesn't mean much. She is very upset about her weight and I need to do something to help her. So, I want to find a nutritionist to work with her. She eats both healthy and not too healthy foods,…

Gulp........Just Joining the Maintenance Group
And it's freaking me out a bit. I'm down 50 pounds from my top weight and I'm struggling with the thought of being satisfied with maintaining. I like seeing the scale go down and I'm afraid that if it "just stays the same", that will mean that I am not successful. Not sure if that makes sense or if anyone else feels that…

ARGHHH, Girl Scout Cookies!
Anyone else have a girl scout in the house? My daughter is so proud that she sold lots of boxes - of course, 10 of them are for our house. I haven't attacked them yet, but I feel my willpower breaking down. Savannah Smiles, Thin Mints and Tagalongs. I know I can work a few of them into my calorie allottment, but I'm afraid…

Eating While Traveling for Business
I am stressing about going to a work related conference tomorrow. I have been really good about bringing my breakfast and lunch to work and tracking everything and I don't want to fall off the wagon. I have to fly out to Las Vegas tomorrow for a 2-day conference. That means, airport foods, conference foods and hotel foods…

Trouble With Level 1
OK, so I've done 10 days at level 1 and it's definitely getting easier. I LOVE the ab work-out and can't wait to try level 2 tonight. Here's the problem. When I am doing the cardio workout, I can not do the jump rope after the jumping jacks. I have severe pain in my calves. I can do the butt kicks after the jumping jacks…

Need Feedback on My Diary
OK, so I took the plunge and opened my diary to the public because I need some help. My goal is 1200 cal/day, Problem is, I am always hungry and I don't know what to eat that will help fill me up, but not make me go over in calories. I eat lots of greek yogurt because it's supposed to fill me up. But it doesn't. I also eat…

Difference in Calories Burned?
I just did 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph. The treadmill says that I burned 210 calories and mfp says I burned 129. Why is there such a difference? And which one is more accurate?

Stressed About 1st Weigh In.......
Tomorrow will be day 7 of my diet and my membership with MFP. That means my first weigh in. Ughhh. I was mortified last week when I got on the scale and saw a number that I had not seen in years. Anyway, I've been good this week with food intake, but only started exercising 2 days ago. If the scale doesn't show something…

Ho Do I Count This in My Exercise?
OK, so I just did day 1 on level 1 (I am surprised how difficult it was). Anyway, how to I add this to my exercise? I have no idea what I burned. I searched for 30 day shred and nothing came up.

HELP - Night Time Munchies!!
Ugh, this is killing me. I am really good all day long, while I'm busy. After I put the kids to bed, dinner is cleared and next day lunches made, I get a little bit of down time for me. Sometimes I will watch TV or read. As soon as I start to relax, I find myself heading for the munchies. I nibble on carrots and other…
