Cooking - how and if does it affect calories?
I've started making my own sweet potato wedges and fries. So far I've been putting them into MFP as the weight of the sweet potatoes plus the amount of oil however I seem to think how they are cooked affects the calories, I know it affects GI rating. EG would homemade wedges be healthier than homemade chips due to a lesser…

Charge HR - heat causing too high calorie burn?
Due to the heat my heart rate is up and because I'm not a fit person it's sitting in fat burn zone. This means my fitbit thinks I burned 3,299 calories yesterday (but 11,089 steps). I did do some hard work in the garden so I expect it to be up on my 2,200 normal count but I'm not sure I should trust it this high... I tried…

Anyone can lose weight, you just need the right motivation!
I've been waiting to post this for a little while but held off until I hit the 1 stone lost mark. I know very well how hard it can be to find the motivation and drive to lose weight, I've been trying to lose weight since January 2011 using MFP and longer before that.

BMR weight loss plan help?
I've worked out my BMR and increased my target calories to this amount. My current idea is to eat my 1588 BMR each day and then burn as many as possible. Is this the right way to do it or should I try and new at 1588 even with burn? I still want to lose weight fairly rapidly and I've been losing 2lbs a week but it's…

Stupid scales!
I'm trying hard not to get completely demotivated by the fact the scales have gone up and more so my body fat %. I've just done my measurements and they are gradually going down but the scales are giving a different story. I know it should be about size and body image not weight but I can't help but fixate on that little…

Tracking All you can eat
I'm going out on Saturday to Red Hot Buffet all you can eat. Now as its my birthday I'm not limiting myself but I still need to track it to see how much making up I have to do. I don't really want to work out how much I have of each thing so food doesn't dominate my night. I was thinking of just picking a figure but I…
