pre-midlife crisis
I am afraid I will end up turning to food (although I keep reminding myself its not such a good listener), so instead, I turn to you, my dear MFP friends because... well, because 1. I can be straight with you 2. because you all are so supportive and 3. I will lose my mind if I don't... So here goes: My firm (law firm in…

Since we are limited to only 5 things to track in the nutrition section, I am tracking cals, fat, protein, sodium, fiber. Sometimes I wish there were more columns so that I could add sugar, but I am not sure its more important than what I am already tracking.... What are you tracking and why?

So I don't know if my scale is broken or what, but no matter how many times I go on the scale in a row, I rarely get the same number... should I just buy a new scale or is this normal?

Calories - over and under
Hi, I was wondering what your thoughts are on making up the next day for going over your calorie goal one day. So if on Monday I go over by 200, I will go under by that much on Tuesday. I don't do this on a regular basis, but not sure if this is OK to do on occassion. Thanks.

Friends without (exercise) Benefits
Hi, I've wanted to join a journey group for a while now but because I cannot work out, I feel like I am not on an equal playing field with most groups.

Fiber
What's the deal with fiber? If I go over my daily budget, is that bad? I love edamames and they are super high in fiber. Should I cut that out of my diet or is OD-ing on fiber not that big a deal?

All Diet and No Exercise....?
Since I injured my knees last year, I have been unable to work out and a tremendeous amount of weight seems to have snuck up on me in this short amount of time. I still cannot work out but am starting to diet using MFP and really paying attention to what I am eating. I am worried, though, that diet alone won't be enough…
