Fit bit truly accurate with synced with MFP??
Hi all... Just recently got a fitbit. I love it so far, but I'm concerned with how it's adding calories burned to my total in MFP. Yesterday I did 45 min on the treadmill and it said I burned around 500 calories! Usually I burn around 300. On top of that it's adding calories burned even when i don't work out that day, due…

sugarrrrrrr
Hi All!!! I'm back using MFP to track my out of control eating. After losing 30 lbs over the course of about 8 months, I've gained all but 10 lbs back in a matter of 3 months! :( In those 3 months the big culprit is SUGAR. All things sweet, and VERY sweet. (frosted cookies, donuts, cakes, candies...etc) I've been going…

losing inches vs. losing weight?
what causes you to lose inches over weight? Does strength training make you lose more inches (look "leaner and more fit") and cardio make you lose the fat (the weight)? Obviously I want both, so will just doing cardio make me lose inches and weight, or do I need to incorporate some sort of strength training in that? And…

Please explain sodium and drinking water????
I'm confused about sodium (retaining water, not losing weight, why it's bad...) and also drinking MORE water to help LOSE water weight? Maybe I"m just not even understanding this right. But correct me if I'm wrong by saying the more sodium you eat the more water you'll retain, because sodium is salt and your body needs the…

cam someone review my food diary??
I don't know if this is even possible, but is love it if a "veteran" could review my food diary and help me make better choices, or tell me what I'm doing right or wrong. I've heard that what you eat does matter and I've also heard it doesn't matter. I would just love some guidance!!!

frustrated... why is this happening?
grr... I've made it through two weeks since I started using MFP and exercising. Really, it's not hard to "diet", or find at least 20 min. to get active and do some sort of exercise. I've been within my calorie goals every day, and I've exercised about 9 out of the 14 days of using MFP. I was using the 30 day shred and…

going over your fitness goals
My fitness goals for the week are to work out 3 times a week for 25 min. each, and I should burn 524 calories a week. This is brand new to me, as I've only been using MFP for just a week, so I don't know if that's too little or to much or just right. But I've been doing the 30 day shred for 5 days now, and I've burned WAY…
