Best Christmas Present to Get or Give
The best advice and present I would give to anyone on MFP is to get a Heart Rate Monitor.

Gaining weight in one day

I'm stuck
Hi! I was curious as to whether I am supposed to eat all the calories I am allotted. The last two days, I have ended the day with about 400 calories remaining, yet I have gained 1.2 pounds. I am frustrated and need to know if I am doing my body harm and slowing my process down if I don't eat all of the calories. What do…
