If calorie deficit is the answer, then why does it matter how much carbs, protein, fat?
Hi, I am counting my macros now as opposed to just counting calories. I do notice that I am eating more nutritious foods such as vegis, ground turkey, chia seeds, greek yogurt, etc - all in an attempt to get my macros straight. My question is this: Am I going to lose weight quicker by eating much lower carbs, and higher…

HELP- I need a simple accurate scale- my expensive digital scale can't make up it's mind.
Does anyone have a scale they like? I have the EatSmart scale and it gives me different readings within seconds of weighing. Today I got on and I had a 3 lb gain, then I stepped back on to be sure and I have a 4 lb loss. Thats a difference of 7 lbs!!!!. I'm thinking that the digital scale thing isn't working for me. I miss…

DOES MY FITBIT GIVE ME MORE CALORIES FOR STAIRS?
So, does it know that I am working harder when my steps come from stair climbing than when they come from level ground? Or would I really need the heart rate monitor to show that I have burned more calories?

Hairy Arms!! (Not me!) Does it mess up the HR tracker?
My husband is deciding between the Charge HR and the Flex. He has super hairy arms. Will that mess up the heart rate monitor? I've heard that it doesn't track well on sweat or during very physical exercise.

HELP - Should I get the Fitbit HR?
Hi All, I've been wearing my Fitbit One for about 2-3 years- every day. I'm a big fan. I don't currently sync the calories to MFP because I didn't want the extra calories shown. My current process is to wear my fitbit through the day (with a goal of 10k steps) and then when I get home and do a harder workout, I strap on my…

Breastfeeding/ New Moms
I need friends in the same boat as I am. I had a baby in August and haven't really had time to track or really watch what I eat. Luckily, breastfeeding has kept the pounds off. Well, I better get in control of my habits because that isn't going to last forever. I am trying to eat few calories, higher protein and I have a…

Taking a cruise. What do I eat?!?!?
Hello MFP peeps! I've had a great 6 months on MFP and have been very successful eating my normal foods on my routine and logging in everyday. I am going on a 5 day Carnival Cruise in July and I am feeling super nervous about not being able to log in and not knowing what to eat on the ship. Does anyone cruise frequently?…

What is the formula to success? Please tell me!!
As I sit here eating my tuna for dinner, I am wondering what the commonality is between all of you who have posted these incredible weight loss pics and also the people we see on the fronts of magazines who have lost half of their size. I've been on myfitnesspal for a while but have fallen off the wagon a few times and…

I posted this under nutrition but I felt like it was fitting in this catagory too.. hope that isn't against the rules. Anyone out there watching their sugars closely? My sis lost a ton of weight by cutting sugar alone. She doesn't even count calories! I've noticed that I am consistently over on sugar but I'm thinking I…

Sugar Sugar... ohhhh honey honey. Count my sugars!??
Anyone out there watching their sugars closely? My sis lost a ton of weight by cutting sugar alone. She doesn't even count calories! I've noticed that I am consistently over on sugar but I'm thinking I should try hard to stay within my range. This is poor timing because I just bought a bunch of low calorie icecream…

I walked around 13000 steps today and swam for like 20 min. Am I supposed to eat those calories or should I leave them remaining so I have a…
