Just started 30 day shred & have question!
So I just did the first day of 30 day shred!! I loved it!!!! I just have 1 question though (and this may be dumb/obvious) but does everyone just do 10 days for each of the levels? Like 10 days on level 1, 10 on level 2, then the last 10 on level 3? I'm assuming that's how it's done, but just want to know for sure!!

Lower back pain help!!!
Not sure if this is where I should post this but... for a couple years, I've noticed that when I walk long distances my lower back has this really bad pain in it. When I rub my hand on that part of my back, I can feel some sort of bump or knot or something, feels like my spin or something. Everyday walking doesn't bother…

Weird Question..
So I've been on here for about 7 weeks (if my math is correct) and this morning I weight myself and lost 3 pounds since my last weigh in, which was Sunday, when I had a 2 lb loss from the week before. This brings me to a total of 15 pounds. I was just wondering if I'm losing weight TOO fast? I have MFP set to lose 1.5…

Archer Farms Coffee
So I know a lot of people don't count their coffee in their calories, however I have Archer Farms Buttery Caramel Coffee. Since its "Buttery Caramel" I was wondering if there would be more calories in this since it's a flavor? I'm not adding anything to it such as sweetener or cream/milk, so I don't have to worry about…

Net calories
So MFP sometimes puts in a little message that says I need to eat more cals (at least 1200) or my body will go into starvation mode... I always eat more than 1200 calories because my goal is 1440 calories a day, but when I enter exercise, my net calories will sometimes be UNDER 1200 calories. Do they want your food over…

Fitness Mag. Survey..
Not sure if this was already discussed but I just read that.... "A shocking 51 percent of women say in a new diet survey they would skip sex for a year if it meant they'd be skinny, according to Fitness magazine. Of the 2,400 women surveyed, the rest admitted they would rather have great sex and be 30 pounds overweight.…

Cals. Burned Help!!
So you have to burn 3500 cals. a week to lose 1 lb (correct?)....but MFP tells me as a goal to burn 1730 cals/week and sometimes I don't reach that number...but I am losing @ least 2 pounds a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. What does this mean? I'm kind of worried now!

Loss Areas
So I remember being told from a few different people that usually when you start noticing body fat reducing in specific areas, it typically comes off the area that had the fat on for a less amount of time. For example, I've always had a belly, but the area on my back has gotten larger more recently so my back would get…

"Mindless Eating"
Just saw this video that discusses different factors that might contribute to eating too much. Suggestions are: 1. painting your walls a neutral color because bright colors make you happy, making you eat faster while dark colors make you eat slower, eating more. 2. Using smaller plates because you can have the same amount…

Eating the wrong # of cals?
was just looking @ some websites about how many calories I should eat to lose weight based on height, weight, age, gender...and those websites said I should be eating a lot more calories than what MFP tells me to eat. I'm now worried that I might not be eating enough calories...and I really want to do this the healthy way.…

After weight loss...
I still have a ways to go before I reach my goal, but I was just thinking about how when people lose a lot of weight (I've seen on TV shows), they'll have a lot of loose skin. The area I'm afraid of this happening is my stomach, and I really don't want this to happen! Is there anything I can do exercise wise, as I'm trying…

MFP v machine calories
So I was curious... when I use the stationary bike or treadmill the calories it says I burn is "X" amount of calories. When I go to MFP to enter my exercise, it gives me a completely different number (usually higher) then what the machine gave me. Which is the accurate amount?
-
Vitamins
I don't really take any vitamins, and figured that I probably really need them now that I'm dieting/exercising... so I was wondering what types of vitamins should be taken daily? I have a multi-vitamin, but was wondering if there are any others I should include?
