Fitbit and extra workouts
I have a fitbit (flex) and I love it because I moved to a city where I walk a lot more and I can really see what walking to a bus stop a couple blocks away does for my calorie expenditure. It's pretty cool. My question is what do I do when I do a workout where I am mostly stationary or not moving my arms...like Yoga,…

Food Database not working
For the last 3 hours any time I put something in the food database to find it I get nothing. I tried things that had to be in there many times like "apple" and brand names like "Safeway" and still nothing. I can still add food that I have used recently from my lists but I can't search for and add anything new. What's up…

Slightly High Blood glucose levels
I did a bio-metric test the other day and all my levels came back great except...my blood glucose came back at 105. For someone who was fasting, like I was overnight no breakfast but I did brush my teeth, 100 is considered pre-diabetic the nurse said she wouldn't really worry about it. So I read up on it and found that…

Fat Macros
I think maybe I set mine too low. I never had a problem with going before but now I do. Is 33g for 1500 calories a day really low? or am I just making really bad food choices right now? Diary is open.

Running w/o bulking up my calves
I jsut started running I've never been a runner. I'm up to week 4 of C25K (on a treadmil b/c running in the dark downtown is not a good option for now) and I feel great but I think my form is wrong. I went shoe shopping with my sister who has run XC since high school and I told her I feel like run on my toes and she…

Close to my Goal is it time to switch gears?
I only have about 3 more pounds to lose to reach my original gaol weight. So exciting! I have my calorie goal on MFP set at 1300 and I eat back most of my exercise calories and I use a HRM so I think I'm doing a good job there. Since August I've lost 7 pounds doing this working out 3-4 times a week. The last couple weeks…

Where do petite girls buy jeans?
I went to JC Penney and Kohls the other day to buy jeans and it was so annoying the brands I love don't come any smaller than a 4 and they often don't have the 4 in Short or petite. So apprently department stores are not the way to go. I need nice quality b/c I do wear these to work so Old Navy is not really and option.…

Overnight Oats for cold weather
I've been wanting to try overnight oats but I really need a warm breakfast now that it's getting cooler. Does anyone do the overnight oats with yogurt/greek yogurt and warm them up? I like the high protein in the yogurt recipies but I wonder if that is weird when eaten warm. Recipies welcome!

Road Map question
Okay so I just redid the math on my road map and my BMR (Harris Benedict) is higher than a 20% cut in TDEE would be. I did the math on both sedentary and light activity to geta range b/c I do work a desk job so 9 hours a day I'm just sitting around but I do try to workout 4-5 times a week with 2 bootcamp sessions and 3…

Intermittent Low-Carbohydrate Diet
Anyone know what the actual carb levels are on a diet like this? It says you eat very low carbs for 2 days out of the week and regular healthy low calorie diet for the other 5. Seems doable to me I'd just like to know how low to shoot for on those 2 "low carb" days. I love my carbs so I can never do a low carb all the time…

How is this possible?
I feel like there is no way this is true but it is. For a long time my weight was stable at around 130 (give or take a couple pounds). I was pretty stressed out at work and was hovering at the top end of that around 132. Then I had to travel for work for 10 days and added 2 vacation days to the end of that. when I got back…
