Body by Vi??
Has anyone every heard of or tried Body by Vi? I have a friend asking me to do a 90 day challenge. I just don't know if I can replace a meal with a shake. I know they have meals too depending on what you decide to do. I just wanted to get some feedback before I respond to her. Thanks!!

Did anyone NOT have a weight problem as a child?
When I was a child I was always very thin. Even when I was born I was very small. I never had issues with food or weight as a child/teenager. When I met my husband in college in 1996 I was a size 3!! Over the years I slowly gained weight as I was no longer active in sports and concentrated on my studies. To make a long…

Does anyone use wii for exercise?
I was wondering if anyone uses any of the wii "games" or videos to exercise to add to your exercise routine? I am looking for something to do that is more "fun" than using a treadmill or elliptical that I can add for variety. I also would like to get my daughter more active. We like to do the country dance one, but I was…

Do I have this right?
Ok, so I am hoping I have this right. I just got done doing the elliptical and treadmill. I wore my fitbit and my HRM. When I entered my exercise into MFP I put down the times I exercised so when my fitibit syncs in, it will automatically adjust so that it doesn't count my steps and exercise at the same time for calorie…

So last night during my 3 miles walk/run, I seem to aggrivate my knee that I hurt last winter running. It's pretty tender today. I don't want to just sit here as I actually have time to workout today (even with my kids here "helping"). I know i can do push ups and sit ups, but wondering if I should even attempt to walk on…

fitbit and walking
Ok I have a question...if I take a walk or walk on my treadmill do I log the walk seperate from what I get from fitibit at the end of the day when it calculates my steps? I don't want to double log, but when I walk on my treadmill I walk faster than I would if I was just taking steps around the house. I do have a HRM that…

How long...
I know this might not be the exact place to post this, but FB seems to be a bad place these days to post anything! So I'm going to ask the most supportive friends I have! Here goes: How long would you or do you commute to work? I'm looking at possibly getting a new job and it would be almost an hour and a half commute one…

This morning when I woke up and checked it, it has said I had earned 366 calories for walking 9300 steps yesterday. When I checked it later this morning it said I only got like 196 for yesterday and for some reason says I…

Feeling down
I don't know if it's just a bad week (or two) or what but I'm just feeling down about a lot of things right now. Beween my job, my stressed husband, emotional kids, and my weight loss (or lack there of!) I just feel like quitting altogether. I know what I want but I am so tired and emotional that I just don't care right…

My family and I are looking to make our eating habits heathier but my husband and I want to make the first changes. We both drink diet soda and usually have 3+ cans a day. Our kids barely ever drink soda…

How many calories did I burn?
So I have read a lot of people making comments on how MFP over estimates calories burned. However, my machines at home always say I burn MORE than what MFP says. So what do I put down for calories burned? MFP or my machine?

Knee injury
Hi Everyone. I have recently sprained my knee...or so they think right now. I am meeting with an orthopedic surgeon sometime soon. I can't do much for movement with it for almost a month. What can I do for exercises? I was doing so well and I would hate to lose that momentum. I know I can do sit ups, crunches, push ups and…
