How to calculate calories when weighing FROZEN chicken...hel
I'm trying to enter a new recipe in the recipe builder. It's a crock pot recipe and I put the chicken in frozen and obviously it weighs a lot more now than it will after it's cooked. I can find "frozen chicken breasts" in the database, but I don't know if they are giving the calories per oz frozen or after it's already…

FYI-I found a Polar F4 on clearance!
My hubby found a Polar F4 on clearance at Sports Authority yesterday, marked down to $40. Well, it actually rang up at $24! I really cant believe it. It was the only one this store had, but maybe other stores have them. I just thought I would throw it out there for you guys!

Serving size help
Is there a website out there to figure out portion sizes for recipes? For example, I just entered in all the info for a taco salad recipe I make. I entered it as 6 servings. I will probably end up taking my 1 cup measuring cup and scooping it all out to see how many cups there are to figure out my portion size. But, I was…

Chest pain while running? Normal?
I am trying to get my sorry butt in shape and doing Couch to 5k. During the running portions I sometimes have pain in my chest, right where my heart is. Should I push through, to hopefully strengthen my heart, or is it dangerous. Does anyone know?

Help me make a shopping list!
I really need to get back on track. I need to stock my kitchen with low cal food, so I'm not tempted to go out or eat hubby's food. What are your go to foods? What staples do you always keep on hand? I'm trying to keep my breakfasts and lunches around 300 calories, so I have more wiggle room at dinner with the family. I'd…

I need accountability!
I am having such a hard time staying committed. I have been a yoyo dieter for about 15 years. I get to where I want to be and I gain it all back! I did weight watchers a few times and did well, I think because I knew I had to get on the scale. It kept me accountable. Now I'm having a really hard time staying focused. I'll…

Almond milk in my coffee-THANK YOU!!
A few of you suggested the unsweetened almond milk instead of creamer. I bought the unsweetened chocolate (kinda hard to find though) OMG, it's like a Mocha for like no calories! I think it's like 12 calories? I always use a ton of creamer because I like my coffee creamy and pretty sweet, well that's a lot of calories! Now…

C25k app for week 2 is WRONG!!!
So, I was doing my c25k, w2d2 today and noticed the walking intervals were only 90 seconds, they are supposed to be 2 minutes. The last walking interval was 2 minutes, but all the rest that I noticed were 90 seconds. I didn't pay any attention on Monday when I did w2d1, so I don't know if it was right! When you open the…

Craving salt?
I don't really crave sweets, but I crave salt ALL THE TIME. Crackers, pretzels etc. Does anyone know what that means? I feel like I'm not satisfied with a meal unless I have something salty with it. Also, I don't actually add salt to my food, just want the chips (cut those out), crackers, pretzels etc. Any ideas?

Anyone allow free foods or weekly calories like WW?
I'm fairly new to MFP and really loving this site! I've done Weight Watchers in the past and miss having free ( 0 ww pts) foods and the weekly extra points. Does anyone incorporate any of that to MFP? I haven't been logging my vegetable calories. I get 1200 calories a day and am sticking to that and eating my exercise…
