To Track Exercise Calories or to Not Track... That's the Question
Sooooo.... I want some opinions. Do YOU think it's better to track exercise calories after you work out, or to put them in as a zero (1)? I have done both, and can't tell which one is better at aiding me in losing weight, so I'm looking for some input from others who are being successful.

Negative Calories?
Hey guys, does anyone use Pacer, and even though I've read the information like 20 times, I still don't understand why it puts calories into the negative if I've exercised that day? Can someone explain?

Bloating Feeling - How does it go away?
I am sure there are some posts about this, but I don't want to look for them. Instead, I think it'd be faster this way getting answers straight from the get-go. So, does anyone or has anyone had/have problems with that bloating feeling? It really seems I get mine either right after I wake up, or sometime later in the…

Diary is Open - Please look at Today's Lunch
Because I'm just worried it might not be healthy enough. I just wanted to ask you all, does that lunch in my diary really look so bad? I would like you to look at it.

Burning Ketones In Your Body While Fasting?
I need a nutritionist, or a personal trainer to confirm, or anyone who has experience in this subject. Does it work? Have you heard about it? I read an article in Men's Journal about this topic... and I was thinking of trying it for a week. Apparently, while you are fasting, if you work out during the period that you…

Bulky - What's wrong with it?
I see all these posts, and hear all kinds of things... what's wrong with looking a little "bulky"? What does that even mean? My boyfriend says that I shouldn't lift weights because I'll get bigger...

ON Scale Victory... ? :D
Today, I weighed in at 191.7. My hips and waist measurements went down by .5 inches. The only thing...? I don't believe it. Last week it said I was 194.3. All I did was work out twice. I hadn't worked out for 2 weeks before. Do you think it's from those workouts or because I ate right, or what??? I have no idea what…

Question about Being Thin
How is it even possible for one to get so small? I can never imagine myself being smaller than I am now... I feel like my bones or something wouldn't allow me to be so skinny... I guess I have never been thin in my life and therefore cannot even see myself being thinner than I am now.

I have a question again...
OK - Is it ok to really go over your calorie limit one day if you ONLY do it like.... once a week, or even once in two weeks? I did not expect my food to be sooooo many calories today where I went, and I'm afraid it might mess me up, but today was my weigh in day and I have already weighed in. If I work normally and eat…

Starvation Mode....?
Well, I have been reading about this and it has started making me wonder - is this why I have gained so much weight in the past few weeks back? Because I was fine like 4 weeks ago, but I have gained some weight back! Is it because I was making myself not eat so much? I left MFP for while and didn't keep track of the…
