Back on MFP after gastric bypass
Hello everyone! Looking for more gastric bypass friends! Those who understand the 400 calorie diet progression. A little about me. I have lost the weight before, logged every meal for over a year, exercised until I couldn't walk anymore, was proud of my progress... but it was not sustainable. My PCOS and fibromyalgia…

Fitbit HR Users come in
How reliable is the calorie tracker on the Fitbit HR? I have been wearing the Fitbit HR for just three days, but it is logging a ton of calories burned. I have double checked the settings are right, and I know I haven't given it a lot of time. I am also aware that a wrist HR monitor is not as good as a chest one, but I…

I did it! I cruised, I ate, and I survived!
LOL! After eating around 1200-1300 calories per day since the beginning of July, I was so concerned about weight gain on my cruise last week. I wanted to enjoy my cruise and eat freely, not pig out but not monitor every little bite. And I am back and happy to report that I ate lots and lots of delicious food, indulged on…

How do I eat on a cruise?
Help me not gain back the 30lbs I have lost! I will have no internet, so no MFP. Not only that, but I am going to be on a cruise with buffets, 4 course meals, ice cream, unlimited soda... AND during Halloween which means candy, lots of candy!

What should my target heart rate be?
I have gotten the hang of eating a deficit, now I am trying to add in daily exercise. Today was my third consecutive day on the elliptical. My question is what heart rate range should I be exercising in? According to the monitor on my machine, I am exercising just above the target zone at about 164 BPM. I know this means I…

Is there a calorie tracking site for kids?
I am wondering if there is a site similar to this for kids. I love all the info MFP tracks. I want to track my son's eating habits for a few days here and there. Not because I want to try to limit his calories or anything, but because I want to see his micros and be sure he is getting enough. A little backstory, my son is…

Why did MFP just adjust my calories up?
When I entered my weight for today, MFP asked me to update my goals. I didn't change anything other than adding 5 lbs to my goal weight. I left my activity level and weekly weight loss goal the same. I have been steadily losing 2 lbs a week. But MFP just adjusted my calories up 40 calories from 1260 to 1300. Why would it…

How many calories is your breakfast?
How many, or what percentage of your daily calories are you eating for breakfast? I am really struggling with breakfast. Most mornings I have been eating one egg, 2 this slices of lean ham, 1 piece of cheese and a half of a whole wheat flat bread with flax. But I hate eggs, which is why I need the cheese to wash it down.…

How do I figure out my calorie intake?
MFP initially gave me 1250 cal/day to lose 2lbs per week, after the first week I changed my activity level to lightly active since I realized I am walking over 10,000 each day just in my normal activity. This bumped me up to 1360. However, in the last 2 weeks I have lost about 8 pounds. While I am feeling great about the 8…

Counting steps ?
I have read a bunch of posts, but don't seem to really see the answer to this. I am using Accupedo to count my steps, my daily steps are almost always over 10,000 steps just doing my normal daily activities. I have my setting set to sedentary. I feel like there are days I am having a difficult time getting up to my 1250…
