Annoying Landlord
So right now I'm going through this battle to get my security deposit back from my previous landlord. She's an awful women who has no care for anyone but herself and company. The first week of moving in we had a pretty bad rain storm and our living room flooded while we were out, ruining our Nintendo. When we called her,…

Does anyone NOT like their fitbit?
I really want to get a fitbit, but I'm spending most of my extra money on healthy foods and what not. I'm trying to budget so I can get one, but I REALLY want to make sure it's worth it if I do get one. How does everyone like theirs? Do you find the calorie burned portion is fairly accurate? Should I spring for the fitbit…

Why does MFP set fiber goals so low?
So I changed my macros to show my fiber, and I was very surprised to find that I went over on my fiber. It set a goal of 16 grams of fiber / day for me, when web MD recommends women to get at least 25 g of fiber a day. I was just surprised that they would set fiber so low when it has obvious health benefits, and usually…

Does anyone record their heavier weight?
I know most people will weigh in the morning, and I (think) that the morning weight is the most commonly time for people to officially record their weight. My question is: Does anyone use their heavier weight (whatever time of day that may be for you) as their official weight, to be safe? Or should we cut ourselves a…

How long has it been since you've had fast food?
So I used to be a huge fast food junkie (I had it at least once a day). Since starting on MFP, I haven't had fast food for 45 days (I don't include pizza that I get every now and again, though maybe I should haha). It's been really cool to not eat this stuff everyday, and even cooler to realize that I don't think about…

A Day in My Diet: Endurance Athlete Zoë Romano
This is from an article from in Shape.com about what an endurance runner eats throughout the day (training to run 2000 miles). Wanted to see what you guys thought of her diet. 'A Day In My Tour De France Diet' "On May 18, exactly six weeks before the 2013 Tour de France, Zoë Romano laced up her running shoes and set out to…

How many calories per day if you wake up late
So I was just curious if other people ate less, or made sure to eat the same amount of calories on days they woke up much later than normal (usually waking up at 7 am, but instead waking up at 11 am or 12 pm). Just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts!

Last 10-15 lbs
Just curious, obviously the last 20 or so pounds are going to be much harder to lose than anything else. Has anyone reached their goal weight, and if so how long did those last 10-20 pounds take to come off? I need to lose about 15 more pounds to be at my goal weight, and it's definitely slow to come off! I don't mind too…

Vitamins and Iron
I am very low on the amount of iron I get in my diet,and I often feel dizzy and irritable. I want to up my iron intake, but I know too much iron can be a bad thing. I got a multi vitamin for women, and it has your full recommended dose of iron in one pill (18 mg) ,among all the other vitamins. But I already eat SOME iron…

Drinking too much water
So I know most people have more of an issue drinking their recommended amount of water per day, but what about drinking too much? I know it's a lot harder said than done, but let me just ask you all's opinions. I am 4'11", 119 pounds. I exercise at least 30 minutes a day. I have gone from drinking 4 cups of water, to about…

Recalculating my Macros
So I'm really trying to get this right, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best at math, or understanding quite what my body needs. I'm currently set at 1200 cal, but I know I should be eating more ( I exercise everyday). So I'm recaluclating how many calories that I need to eat. I calculated my bf% in a few…

Rest day on 30DS
I know there are a million of these 30DS topics, but I couldn't find one that I needed. I started the 30DS, and I was wondering how important it was to incorporate a rest day with the program? Is it safe for your muscles to do the program all the way through, without rest days? I also do cardio and pole dancing throughout…

Water, Thank you!
So along with eating right and exercising, I’ve been making another big lifestyle change (for me, at least), and that’s drinking 8 cups of water a day. It’s always been a bit tough for me to remind myself to drink water in the past, and my usual day would consist of two to three cups of water a day, max. Now that I have…

Losing weight for a special day?
Is anyone here trying to lose weight by a certain date? Be it a vacation, a wedding, a birthday- are you trying to get in shape by a certain big day? I'm not losing weight for any *particular* day, but I am trying to lose the weight by my birthday, I feel like it gives me a concrete date to work towards. And while I wont…

Laser Fat removal??
I had no idea this existed, seems less scarier then regular lipo though (don't have to go under). Though I would never get it done, wouldn't it be something to just have your problem spots finished up during lunch? haha, what a world!…

Insanity; the nutrition side
Okay, so I'm going to start insanity, but I was naughty and I downloaded it instead of paying for it. SO, I do not have any of the nutritional information that they recommend for the program. My question is; did anyone change their diets more to suit this program (different than what you usually did if you were just doing…

Calories in/out... SO CONFUSED
Okay, so I read that to lose 1 lb a week, you need to burn 500 calories more than you eat a day. But then I read that you are supposed to eat all the calories you burn off at the gym, and mfp keeps getting mad at me for coming in lower than 1200 calories. I am trying to eat healthy, and I want to choose the way that is…

My name is Jess, and my goal is to lose 16-20 pounds in the next four to five months, I am slightly overweight for my age, but it isn't tremendous.
