Get Fit with Rick
Just seeing who else out there is doing these videos. I started this year doing Couch to Fitness, but had to take a break due to a shoulder issue and was recommended Get Fit with Rick. I pass on that recommendation, as he has a great selection of free videos on Youtube and he is hilarious as well. The only downside is that…

Fitbit calories - whats gone wrong?
Hello there. New to Fitbit, not new to MFP. When I set up my Fitbit originally (about 3 months ago) it asked what sites I wanted to add and I added MFP. Today was the first time that I have logged into MFP since then and the exercise calories were 900 for a 35 min walk. Now, I do walk quite briskly but not that briskly!…

Beet(root) greens
I bought a beautiful bunch of beet(root)s from my local market today with greens attached. I obviously don't want to throw them away so does anyone have any tasty simple recipes I could use to cook them? TIA.

Wii Fit
I enjoy working out to DVDs at home, especially while the gym is full of people after New Year and the weather is freezing cold. I've wanted a Wii and Wii Fit for years but haven't been able to afford one til now (and I'll be buying second hand!) Are they worth the money? Or should I stick to workout DVDs? Any personal…

Weight Training on a deficit
Probably a daft question. I am aware that to get proper results from a good weight training regime we need to eat a calorie surplus, but what happens when you don't? Is it pointless to weight train on a calorie deficit? Or would there be some results to make it worth doing? I only ask as I enjoy lifting and doing body…

10 minute workouts
I'm going away with my family for a holiday soon and would like to carry on my fitness routine if at all possible. We'll be in a holiday cottage but due to certain circumstances I won't be able to take much gear. I also won't have access to a DVD player or laptop, and my phone is really bad so I can't save any routines on…

Rewards
What non-food rewards do you give yourselves (if you do!) for scale victories and non scale victories. I'm planning on getting some new workout leggings for my next one. Proper ones that won't bag and knee!

Nut and seed butters
I have jars of cashew butter, almond butter, and seed butter, and am at a loss what to do with them, apart from spreading them on an apple. Any suggestions and/or recipes gratefully received.

'Impossible' exercises
Are there exercises you just can't do, not matter what? I struggle with press-ups and chin-ups and I'm not sure why, as my arm and shoulder strength is quite high. I'm fine with planks but as soon as I lower myself to the ground I just can't lift up again. And my sense of balance is awful so I wobble all over the place…

Shrove Tuesday
I love pancakes (crepes for the US members) but every recipe I see is full of fat, sugar, or both. As much as I enjoy Nutella on my pancakes I would prefer a lower calorie recipe. Anyone have any healthy Pancake Day recipes to share? :)

'Routine' exercise
I'm currently in a sedentary job so walk to and from work, as well as the odd fitness class. My concern is that people have told me that I'll 'get used to' regular exercise, so the body doesn't burn the calories as much as when you dial it up or start something new. I see this in fitness magazines too, when someone is…

Chicken or Turkey sausages
Anyone know where I can get these? My local Sainsburys and Morrisons don't stock them, and I can't get to Tescos or Asda (I don't have a car).

Changing macro amounts
Its probably quite obvious but I can't seem to find how to increase or reduce the macros on the food diary. I am on a high protein, low carb diet and I would like to up the protein amount on my diary so it doesn't go red all the time. Any help gratefully received. :smile:

Quick, high protein breakfasts.
I always eat breakfast but I rarely have more than 15 minutes in the morning to do so. I currently either have oatmeal with skimmed milk or scrambled eggs, but now I want to cut my carbs down even more the oatmeal will have to be used less often. Does anyone have any ideas for high protein, low carb breakfasts that are…

If
MFP overestimates the calories burned in an exercise, how can I track my calorie deficit with certainty?

Tickers
Hi there. I am back on here after a 2 month break where I put on far too much weight :neutral_face: But I am back and raring to go! One problem since my return is that I can't seem to get my ticker working on profile posts, or if I can its not showing for me. I have created one fine, then ticked the box. Is there a problem…

Logging everything
Now I know the best thing to do is to log all food eaten each day, but what about exercise? I have logged my long walk to work, but how would i log the two flights of stairs I ran up twice, or the 5 minbute trip to run an errand at lunchtime. Do we log EVERYTHING? Or do I need to keep a sense of proportion? :)

Ticker
Hello there. I have restarted my profile after a long while and was wondering how I get a ticker. I clicked the link on the menu but it just takes me to the home page. Any advice gratefully received.
