Fitbit and eating exercise calories?
Just got my fitbit today and am reading about how it works, how fitness pal adjusts, etc. When I was using just MFP, it adds your exercise calories to your fixed daily calorie consumption, so you 'eat your extra calories'. Now with synching to fitbit, the two don't agree and it seems like you don't eat your exercise…

Calories burned lifting weights?
I recently started going to the gym and have been logging my exercise in MyFitnessPal. I do not see any choices to enter weight lifting though. Surely, this must burn some calories! How do you enter this?

Coffee Creamers
I'm addicted to my coffee creamers - not just cream either, the flavored creamers. International Delight, you get the idea! A few weeks ago I realized my creamer habit was adding 300 calories a day because I use so much! Since then I have cut back to half a cup of coffee per day, but still put (3x the serving size) 3…

Vacation Auuuuggghh
Just back from a week long vacation with relatives who provided meals, took us out to restaurants etc. My goodness. There was scarcely a fruit or vegetable in sight. Everything they had/offered was processed meats, fattening dips, hambugers, hot dogs and greasy brats. They just eat horrible. We were guests in their home…

Hungry Girl Vent
I was intrigued by hungrygirl.com after seeing her make some chicken on TV. She compared it to the taste of a chik-fil-a without frying it. It was made with crushed Fiber One cereal. I went home and browsed her website, signed up for the newsletter, read recipes, etc. Well, I am disgusted with it. I would say about 90% of…

Eating Exercise Calories next day?
Do you have to eat your exercise calories in the same day for it to be effective? I exercised yesterday afternoon, but was under my calorie goal for the day. Was busy and didn't have a chance to eat much. Is it such a far stretch to just eat the calories today?

Blacked out/almost fainted!
I've been doing about 1300 calories a day....normally I have about 800 left for my dinner meal. Today was a bit strange for me.....I had breakfast at 6am, and then made and egg and whole grain toast around 10am because I was super hungry. Never really had a 'real' lunch just some veggies and a slice of cheese around 1pm.…

Losing weight due to worry....
I am going through a really tough time right now......I am having some health isssues and just found out I need to have surgery next week. I am extremely worried and anxious and for that reason, often don't eat. Naturally, I am losing weight. Will this weight stay off when I resume my normal life again?

Craving Junk
Auuuuuuuuugh. Both days that I exercised this week I have craved junk the rest of the day.......cookies, salty nacho chips, etc. And it's easier to 'give in' to those desires when you know you've 'earned the extra calories'.....what better day to cheat than one you've exercised???????

Carbs
I have been logging my foods here for over 20 days now.......and lost 4 lbs!!!! I am starting to see some consistency in my numbers. I am always over on my sugar. I am usually pretty close on my protein. But I am quite often way short on my carbs.........it seems silly to eat more carbs as they will just turn to sugar and…

Anybody else hate exercise? :(
I admit it. I truly hate to exercise. In my lifetime, I have found very few types of exercise that I enjoy - it's silly, but I just hate to sweat. The kinds I enjoy are not easily scheduled (ice skating), nor do I have anywhere to go with my children to spend time in a gym. I do have access to a treadmill and an…
