Do I need a new scale?
I have a digital scale, its a few years old... nothing expensive, not a special name brand but it use to do the job. I always weigh myself in the same spot, same time, and right after I pee in the morning... so this morning i jumped on it and it said my weight... then I stepped on it again just to confirm and it was up by…

water play a role?
can not drinking as much water on the weekend cause a slight gain on the scale Monday morning despite eating right? I'm not eating any differently then I do during the week, working out the same amount, but it seems after my weigh in on Friday I always go up on the scale by Monday morning, then work my butt off trying to…

no wonder people are over weight..
kind of a funny story... This lunch hour I went to Tim Horton's to get a soup, I asked for a small vegetable soup.. thinking its probably a low cal soup.. which it was until I looked at the sodium when I sat down. 3500mg of SODIUM!!!! my jaw dropped, because I am only aiming for 2500mg a day, and most days I do pretty good…

Frusterated/upset/why?
Hi, I am all of the above because of my weigh in this morning. I can't seem to lose any weight. I requested I would like to lose 2lbs a week, of course they gave me a calorie count of 1200 a day, and said on average I will lose 1.3lbs because MFP does not suggested anyone go under 1200 calories. I'm 5'2, current weight is…

Difference?
Hello, Just wondering what the difference is between MFP and weight watchers? I know weight watchers is a point system, but does anyone know how many calories are in 24 points?

Question..
I know MFP recommends you do not go under 1200 calories but what if I have more to lose in less time. I completely understand that its not the best idea to rush weight lose and its not healthy, I lost 50lbs on WW in the past over a year. I know its better to lose slower as it usually stays off longer. I understand that,…

This is going to be my week!

Sugar in Fruit

Question about MFP
Just a quick question, can you confirm if this is right? MFP does not take into account your excercise routine when they give you your net calories? I ask this because I do remember filling out a part where it asked how many days a week I plan on exercising and for how long, but am told to ensure my net calories are around…

Weigh in weekly or every two weeks?
Hey Everyone, In the past i've always had my scale attached to my hip, I would sometimes weigh myself 2 or 3 times a day. I found that it was just getting to be too much, I was obsessing over it and would get very down when I would see a gain after I would do so good the day before (sodium gain most likely). So I knew that…

I'm confused on how many calories to eat after a bunch of suggestions on another thread...

(well, they said 1.4) my BMR is 1541.95 - I'm working out approx 5 times a week and I saw online I…
