Another Fitbit Question;-)
I just started using my Fitbit yesterday and so far I am pretty impressed but it seems like MFP is really scrimping on the Calorie adjustment. For example, today I went for a 2.5 mile walk and including, all of my other walking, I have burned over 1000 calories today. This may be high but I also track my walking using Nike…

I don't believe in conspiracies but....
One thing I have noticed since I started this journey is that I really have to read the labels on everything I purchase with a microscope. I know that the best thing is to eat 100% unprocessed foods but for many of us this is probably a bit hard so we do have to rely on a certain amount of packaged/processed foods but I…

Am I really hungry or is it emotional?
I don't know if anyone else has gone through this but I am in my second week of using MFP and every day I have been able to finish under my daily calorie requirements by several hundred calories. For some reason today I literally finished with only 40 calories to spare and I stil feel a bit hungry. I am also find myself…

New Guy from Ventura
Hey all, I just thought I would introduce myself as well. I am a 42 year old husband, and father of a 4 year old litte girl, who has finally come to the realization that if I want to be around to see my little girl grow up, and maybe even have kids herself, that I better start taking care of myself. I have a family history…
