Need Help w/TDEE
Hi there, I'm not new to weight loss and fitness, but I need a little help. I sprained my ankle at the gym back in October, which took me out of rotation for about two months. It's been an uphill climb getting back to normal, especially with my eating. Still, I'm determined to get back to where I was and back on the right…

What To Do If You Ever Lose Your Fitbit
Keep in mind that I'm not an expert at this, do not work for Fitbit, and can't guarantee that they'll help you out, but if you go through the pain of losing your device, this may come in handy. My Charge HR slipped off of my wrist this morning, and someone immediately picked it up and kept it. I know that because the guy…

Too much sugar in my green smoothies. :(
I've finally joined the green smoothie bandwagon (albeit very late), and I'm worried that I'm putting too much sugar in. I've tried two so far, and I only use kale and dandelion greens. I'm not quite used to the taste yet, so I've been adding a table spoon of raw honey along with fresh fruit for flavor. Today's smoothie…

Is Medifast Worth the Money?
I'm thinking of taking the plunge and trying the program for a month, but the cost gives me pause. Is it worth the money? Are the results any better than doing it on your own? I need opinions!

Overcoming Food Addiction
What strategies work for you, MFP? I know I'm not the only one who struggles with this.

Am I doing something wrong?
I've recently decided to go back to being a vegetarian, and am slowly weaning myself off meat. I mostly eat turkey, pork, and fish now, but I am concerned that I'm not preparing my meals in the healthiest way. I don't have the patience for the broiler, so I usually grill (or what I call grilling) my pork chops and salmon…

How do you like your eggs?
Very original question, I know, but I'm interested in seeing how other people like their eggs. I may just find a new way of preparing them. :D I'll go first: One whole egg, and one egg white scrambled with a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt and low-fat shredded cheese. I'll add salsa or fresh chives if I'm feeling fancy.…

Does anyone else have a problem with this?
My body doesn't want food in the mornings. More specifically, it doesn't want anything solid. The thought of eating when I get up makes me ill, even if I'm hungry. I can handle smoothies and protein shakes, so I'm still technically eating breakfast, but it's the only way I can get anything down. Does anyone else have this…

The most original thread, ever.
I've seen this question asked a few times, but I've never looked at the threads. Anyway, I'm over on my sugar intake for the day, and am pretty close to going over my sodium limit as well. Does that mean today is a bust? I absolutely killed it with my fitness last night, and in trying to stay healthy, chose low-cal,…

Food Scale Recommendations
Measuring cups and spoons are great for watching my portions, but they're of little help when it comes to measuring chicken breast, turkey, shrimp, etc. Can anyone recommend a quality food scale that won't break the bank?

Too Many Calories?
Has anyone ever had an issue with the amount of calories MFP suggested for them? Granted, I have a lot of weight to lose, but I think the number MFP is way too high. Is there any way to change it?

Should I just focus on cardio?
Allow me to preface this by saying that I know strength training is critical to building a healthier body, but my main goal is to drop pounds, and just about everything I've read about getting serious about weight loss seems to favor cardio over strength. I know that women can't bulk up with basic strength exercises, but I…

Relatives who have lost weight...
and think they're better than everyone else. Does anyone else have a problem with this? I have an aunt who has lost around 100 lbs, and just participated in her first half-marathon. For some reason, she thinks this makes her better than everyone else, when in reality, it's made her even more insufferable than she was…
