how to get the weight progress banner to show up?
Seems like most people here have a progress banner at the bottom of their posts that shows how much weight they have lost...how do you get this to show up?

Did you keep or get rid of your fat clothes?
Starting to develop a collection of clothes that no longer fit...(too big thankfully) I've been up and down in my weight the past 15 years or so, with a waist size ranging from 33 to 42.

What a difference 6 weeks makes
Approximately six weeks ago I joined MFP. At that time I logged my weight in as 250 lbs I think (though at my maximum earlier this year I was around 255-260 depending on the scale and time of day).

I simply see no way of…

Deducting fiber from veggie carbs?
I just found out that you can deduct fiber from veggie carbs...i.e. veggie dish with 20 gr total carbs, 6 of which are from fiber, leaves you with 14 grams of carbs total... Does MFP automatically make this calculation when you enter in your meals?

Do I need a day of recovery after a heavy workout?
I am 245 lbs, 45 years of age and for the most part have led a fairly sedentary lifestyle the past several years... After a high intensity workout such as a crossfit class, or 30 minutes on the ellipitical followed by a high intensity weight session, should I be spending the next day allowing my body to recover by either…
