Sedentary Job & Mini Stepper
Hello, Has anyone here used a mini stepper while at their desk all day at work? I'm looking for ways to increase my NEAT (calorie burn) throughout the day to combat the effects of having a sedentary job. I'm not trying to substitute a mini stepper for actual exercise but I was wondering if having one of these has helped…

Gym or at Home
This is my first post in this group. I guess I'm sorta a newbie. I now understand the importance of making the effort to maintain a LBM while losing weight. It's not just about the scale (I'm learning). For this it is important to lift weights. I have NO experience with weights. I have children so that's something I think…

3 Pts Meals/Ideas
Hi everyone! The other day I saw that one of our buddies in the group was out of points. She only had 3 pts left for the day. That gave me the idea that it would be nice if we had a thread with 3 points or less meal ideas. It could be a great resource for any of us when we find ourselves in that situation. Please add…

Juliane's Diary
I use the Momentum Points or the Old Points formula. Though I'll be very honest. I'm learning to wean off of points. Although I may look at my TOTAL daily points value for a specific day to see how I did, I am not focusing on points to plan my meals. I'm more so trying to stay at about 300-350 calories per meal. That will…

Net Calories....Confusion
Hi Everyone! As the title says, I get confused by this net calories thing. I especially like the feature to be able to view your weekly average calories but it only gives me net calories. Is there a way to see weekly Calories eaten instead of net? Net is too confusing to me. Or maybe I should just NOT use the exercise…

Where do I start?
There's a lot of information on the stickys but I need guidance as to where to start. I'm being introduced to this concept for the first time. The title of the group caught my attention. Can I really eat more? I've always been on an average 1200 calorie diet...except for the times I was pregnant.

Database..help
Ok, so I love how fast it is to enter foods into my diary however I find it hard to keep up with myfitnesspal because of it's database. I tend to go back to fatsecret because the data there is pretty accurate but then I come back here because fatsecret is slower. I rarely if ever have to change the nutrition info for foods…

USDA Foods & Database
So how do I search for USDA foods on MFP database? Honestly, I have trouble finding food items on the database. Everyone says it's a great database but I don't find it easy to work with. There are so many entries. Why can't I just find "regular" items. Say if I'm looking for beef stew meat I get all these other search…
