Need Help with Pronation Distortion Syndrome (?)

Fitness tracker (Jawbone UP24) and FitStar
Hello! I need some help to figure out how to log everything accurately on MFP. I have a Jawbone UP24 that tracks my steps and calories burned throughout the day.

Constant exhaustion and fatigue? Advice?
Hello guys, I really need your help :( I am 5'2" and I weigh around 147-150lbs. I would love to go down to at least 130 (I am Hispanic and my hips are wide so anything less than 125lbs makes me look scary). My problem is that I can't seem to find the energy to work out.

How to lose weight and gain muscle?
Hello there, I am 5ft 2in and I weigh about 143lbs. I would say I have somewhat of a pear shape, so I understand that most of my weight is in my thighs/butt area, therefore my goal isn't to lose too much weight. I understand my shape and I don't see a need to be 115lbs just because I'm short. Either way, my short term goal…
