The difference between failing and FAILING
I gotta say...it breaks my heart to see people beat themselves up because their choices in the day weren't perfect. When I have a rough day, it's rough...it's over the top and what made me the weight I am. To me THAT is the failure. To hear someone say "I failed" when their numbers say otherwise, or if they had mayonnaise…

Applebee's Under 550 Meals
Are these worth it? Is there a decent amount of food? I mean I have had the Weight Watchers meals and there's nothing on the plate! I like my food! Hence the reason I need MFP! But I'm looking at the Teriyaki Shrimp Pasta...anybody got any feedback?

Changing Profile Settings Daily to Correspond With Daily Act
I am a child care teacher and I'm on my feet a lot, so I have my settings at "lightly active". Now on non-work days I am definitely sedentary. Should I change my settings to "sedentary" on those days? I can get a workout in, but I'm not on my feet 5-7 hours a day like work. What do you think? Thanks!

Do you count fruit and veggie calories?
Do you count the calories of the fruits and veggies you eat? From Weight Watchers I've learned that you count the starchy veggies, like potatoes and corn and cooked carrots. But what about the raw carrots, celery and peppers you eat? Fruits too...I know they have more sugar, but the amount I think I'd eat I don't know if…

How many calories are too many to eat even after burning a l
Today I burned 900 calories allowing me to have 2500 to eat. I wonder though...even though I could eat 2500 calories...should I? I know you should eat your calories earned from exercise but 2500 sounds like an awful lot. Even the nutrition facts on products say based on a 2000 calorie diet. Should I eat them ALL or not? If…

BMR calculator shows lower calories than MFP tells me to eat
I'm confused...MFP is having me eat 1940 calories a day, but the BMR calculator says my BMR is 1808. So to lose a lb a week don't I need to eat 500 calories less than the 1808, therefore 1308? Or do I just accept the number I was given. Also, how often do you update your profile? I did today after a 2.6 lb loss since I…

Tofu Shirataki Noodles
Anybody ever have these? I'm watching the Hungry Girl show and she made some (40 calories in the whole bag! :) and then made an "alfredo" sauce with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and some fat free sour cream. About 100 calories for the bowl. I'm guessing that they're probably a little pricey though.

Calories Given By Elliptical's Computer Accurate?
I have an elliptical machine that I do most of my workouts on. Can I honestly trust the calories that the little computer tells me? Some of the higher end machines ask me to plug in my age and weight in the computer. Mine doesn't. I heard somewhere that the little computers are actually a percentage too high (not sure what…

Eating Calories Earned From Exercise
I'm sure this has been asked many times...but do you eat your calories you earned from exercise? And if so, how often, every day? Today I had to cause supper had more calories than expected, but I don't think I want to make that a habit.
