MFP ADDING exercise calories from Jawbone...say whaaaat??!!
So, I use a Jawbone UP bracelet to log my workouts and when I sync it to MFP, I believe that MFP only takes into account the calories I've burned from how many steps I've taken that day, NOT the workouts I've recorded with Jawbone. I have no problem manually adding in the workouts to MFP, but why does MFP ADD the calories…

To Eat or Not to Eat? I met my macros but MFP shows I have 300ish calories remaining
So, I met my macros today pretty spot on (atleast percentage-wise...my grams are a bit off) but MFP is giving me about 320ish cals left to eat. Should I eat those extra cals and try to divide them among my macros to keep the percentages where I want them? Or just avoid eating since I've already met my protein, fat, and…

Jawbone UP bracelet
Does anyone here use Jawbone's UP bracelet? I received mine for Christmas and so far I love it! I haven't used all of the features yet, but I like how it tracks my movement and sleep cycles and active/idle burn. I have it synced with MFP so I can enter my food on this site.

Introduction
Hey everyone, I just joined the group and have been mostly vegan since the beginning of the year. I unintentionally lost 10 lbs and have never felt better! I am really glad that I found and accepted this lifestyle. It is sometimes hard to find support and inner strength and I could use some inspiration and motivation to…

The Beginning
I am a healthy 25 y/o. I eat pretty good most of the time but I do mindlessly snack and eat junk frequently. I want to adopt an even healthier lifestyle by really paying attention to what I am eating (nothing obssesive!) and working out habitually with evolving goals. Part of me is a afraid to express this to my boyfriend,…

25 y/o looking for more fitness pals
I have been off the fitnesspal bandwagon for a while, but my boyfriend wants to lose weight and start tracking his food/exercise so we decided to do it together! I am mostly vegan; I do my best to stay away from animal products and am on my journey of educating myself further on nutrition and fitness. I have lost roughly…

Fellow veggies!
I recently decided to omit most animal-based products from my diet at the beginning of this year and could use some support! My name is Anna; I'm 25 and live in Ohio. My main goals are to fit more weight lifting into my routine and really focus on making my diet healthy and wholesome! Also, my boyfriend wants to lose…

Fall workout gear
Now that the weather is cooling off A LITTLE (at least in the Midwest)...what gear are you pulling out for those chilly morning/evening workouts or rainy day runs? I'm in need of some rainy weather gear. Just an outer layer and not sure about the bottoms. Maybe it doesn't matter there? I have a few long-sleeve tops and…

Just not having a good night
I eat when I'm lonely and bored and it makes me feel miserable! What do you do when you feel this way? I know this has been asked before, but I could just use some support and different ideas :flowerforyou:

Garmin Forerunner 410
Ok, so my parents gave me the Garming Forerunner 410 for my birthday a few years ago. I LOVE the watch, but I recently bought the heart rate monitor strap and for a 60-min workout, it showed it burned 12 calories :huh: That makes absolutely no sense. Has anyone else had issues with their HRM's calorie estimate? Any…

Does anyone here NOT track calories?
I hate nitpicking over the calories I eat...as long as I eat healthy foods and control my portion sizes, I'm usually happy at the end of the day. I workout 4-5 days a week consistently. I run, weight lift, play football/ultimate frisbee at work...I used to be into yoga, and want to get back on track with that. I'm just not…

Anyone training for half/full marathon?
I'm training for a half-marathon in April. I've done two full marathons a few years ago and have ran on and off since then. Anyone training presently?? I'm looking for some running motivation!

Running NSV
I'm currently training for a marathon this April. I've done 2 a few years before but have never kept up on my running very much...today I ran 9 miles in 1 hour and 41 minutes! My goal was 1 hour and 45 min. First and foremost, I'm just glad I finished feeling amazing and not like death haha Major eye-opener for me! If I…

Waking up when it's still dark...
AAAAAAAAgggghhhh! I hate these shorter days that come with winter :grumble: How do you manage to wake up before the sun and get a workout in? Any tips? I set my alarm this morning to do some Jillian Michaels before heading out to work and I hit snooze a few times before actually getting up :embarassed: ...and not having…

Eating healthier vs exercising
Which was easier for you to form a habit with? Eating healthier or exercising more often? I used to think that I had to change EVERYTHING at once to make this lifestyle change, but it really is baby steps that get you through it, in my opinion. Lately, I've noticed that it has been easier to get into the habit of working…

Goals OTHER than weight loss
I'm 5' 5" and 146 lbs...for my particular frame and build, I think I'm doing pretty good and have never worried much about that number anyways. I wouldn't say no to losing at most 10 pounds, but - again - not my primary focus. What are some of your goals that don't revolve around that number on the scale? I am registering…

Mixin' up oatmeal
I love oatmeal in the morning during late fall and winter and I normally stir in some brown sugar and Brummel & Brown spread...it's delicious! But I always use too much brown sugar, so I'm looking for other ideas. How do you spice up your oatmeal???

Wedding mags/websites
I just got engaged last week :love: but I have never really given much thought to what I would like in terms of ANYTHING regarding a wedding! Does anyone have any suggestions for wedding magazines, websites, blogs that are worth checking out? I'm already signed up on The Knot and love that site so far... No date yet, but…

Goals other than losing weight
So, I weigh 145-ish and am completely fine with it. I have a muscular build and look/am healthy. I'm having trouble choosing a fitness goal :ohwell: I would like to lose a few inches here and there, but am, again, not too worried about it...I figure it'll happen when it happens if I continue eating healthy and keeping…

To all of those with a Sportline HRM...
Give it another chance if you're not satisfied with it! I've read several negative reviews about the brand, but it gets better! (At least it did for me...) I was SO frustrated with mine when I first got it because it wasn't keeping track of my HR at all when I wore the chest strap the first 2 times, but now that I've used…

That last bit of ice cream
You know that last bit of ice cream at the bottom of the container? Yeah, the little bit that doesn't look like a whole lot, but is really 2-3 servings... It's calling my name from the back of the freezer! But I'm NOT gonna eat it! I just ate a delicious stir fry I made for dinner and don't need to set back the workouts I…

My fitness pal & P90X
Hello everyone :) My name is Anna and I just started P90X today :) My boyfriend is (hopefully) going to do it along with me...but I am hoping to find extra motivation in other places! Hopefully I'll find a few people to interact with on here and hopefully this website will keep me dedicated to tracking everything so I…

Lack of support
I don't feel like I have a good support system when it comes to eating healthy and exercise...and I'm not sure how to deal with it :frown: My boyfriend and I live together, but he isn't as health-conscious as I am and usually only workouts when I invite him to join in with me. The foods we eat vary greatly as well as the…
