BMF synching with MFP
I was ecstatic to learn that BMF will now synch with MFP. I set up the apps and my calories did show up on BMF and my total calories burned from BMF did show up on my homepage on MFP. Two questions though. 1. Currently I have my meals on MFP set up as breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, after dinner…

Trouble with Hackers site?
I'm a daily weigher and I use the Hackers Diet site to keep track. The last couple days it won't let me log in. I even set up a new account. It let me log in once but it's back to saying wrong username/password. Anyone else having trouble with the site?

Ladies - IUD causing gain?
I just posted about the plateau I've hit and how I'm trending upwards even though nothing has changed in how I'm doing EM2WL. I've lost 9 lbs since starting in March, but in June plateau'd and am now gaining. I never did a reset since I never did VLCD. The suggestion was to take a reset week, which I planned to do next…

Decrease calories or do a reset week?
I've been doing EM2WL since the end of March and was doing really well. Prior to that I maintained the same weight for 3 years or so, so I'm guessing I was already eating at TDEE without knowing it. I never gained any weight when I started EM2WL and my loss was steady. .5 lbs in April, 3 lbs in May and 1.5 lbs in June.…

Eating before/during endurance events
I'm currently training for the Susan G Komen 3-day 60 mile walk. Tomorrow will be my longest consecutive mileage so far (10 miles). I figure it will take 3 hours, 20 min. My longest training walk will be 18 miles. From what I've read you want to carb load prior to an endurance event? Any suggestions on what to eat prior to…

TDEE from BMF
Question for you all with BMF's. I just started using mine this past Tues. Before I got it I was using the scooby calculation which put my cut value at 2002 cals. Now that I have my BMF I know exactly what my TDEE is. However, I have a couple questions. 1. I don't know my full TDEE for the current day until the next day 2.…

K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple silly)
I think I'm probably on week 8 or so now, and I'm noticing a lot of the same questions come up about how to log exercise, how much to eat and whether to eat back exercise calories. In the beginning, I, and a lot of others are making it harder than it really is. I really appreciate all the stickies and info that Lucia &…

BodyMedia Fit vs. Bodybugg
What can you guys tell me about Bodymedia Fit vs Bodybugg. They look very similar but BB is cheaper but BMF gives you sleep info. I'm definitely interested in getting one; I'm just not sure which one. If you have one do you like it or not? Would you recommend it or not?

Burning extra calories carrying toddler
When you're carrying extra weight while exercising (i.e. a toddler in a backpack on your back) do you add that extra weight to your own weight to get the true calories burned to enter in your log or do you just enter the calories based on your own weight and figure you really burned more than it says you did?

Question about NETting my BMR
I'm on day 2 of EMWL and have a question about NETting my BMR. I'm a jump right in kind of girl so I went from a little over 1200 calories to 2019 (TDEE cut). I'm having a hard time getting all my calories in. I'm eating better foods so I'm staying full and so trying to eat all 2019 is making me feel uncomfortably full…
