*sorry boys* - PMS help!
Hi ladies :) I realize it could be hormonal, but I'm starving during PMS week and am looking for some helpful tips or even just some commiseration! My calorie goal is 1700 but I'm lucky to keep at 2000 during this time. I drink a lot of water (at least 60 oz a day). I'm not sure what else to do. Does anyone else go through…

I LOVE FOOD and I'm a good friend :)
And I love exercise, and feeling healthy I hate how I use food to negate exercise and feeling healthy I find you all so inspiring, and I'm at the beginning of my journey to lose 15-20 pounds - which is really intimidating for me, so I'm looking for friends in you to inspire me daily. I will try to do the same :) Carey

Help! Fitbit overestimating?
Hi everyone! I logged my Jillian michaels workout as 100 calls this am - I really didn't give it my all. At work all day (ICU nurse - so lightly active) and fitbit has readjusted my calories burned to an extra 421. How is this possible? Any guidance would help a lot. I'm new to fitbit! Carey

For the longest time I believed I'd never lose weight if I couldn't manage 1500-1700 calories without…

Help! Always sore!
Hey everyone! I used to work out a lot, so I'm not sure how I've forgotten the basics of soreness. I had a low back injury a few months ago, it's healed and doctor cleared for exercise, but now I'm pretty de-conditioned. I took a yoga class last Saturday and my legs are still too sore to get through even 20 minutes of…

Any sugar addicts out there?
Hi everyone, My name is Carey - I'm not too new to fitness pal but I am to the boards! Anyway, beginning to believe I am a sugar addict due to my years and years (not kidding, since I was a little kid) of a high sugar diet. I want to hear your stories, or just see if anyone else out there has the headaches and mood swings…
