Weight the same for a week +, then a sudden drop.
So, I've been weighing myself daily since actually bought a scale and realized (in horror) that I weighed more than I initially thought. I am about halfway to my goal currently and have noticed this phenomenon over the last month or so. My weight will stay the same for a week or more. Then over 2 - 3 days, I'll drop like 3…

Just a rant from a mom tired of fighting for her workout.
I just need to vent my frustration and am also wondering if this is a struggle for other moms. Been working out everyday for a bit over 2 months now and everyday I have to struggle with my family to get in a 1 hour workout.

How accurate are calorie counters? Like Fitbit, etc.
Trying to decide if it's worth getting one of these devices or not. How accurate are these devices at tracking the amount of calories you burn? I am not a walker or a runner. My excercises of choice are dance, yoga, and weight lifting. Although I'm currently doing 30 DS, too. After reading tons of stuff online, I'm still…

Can I adjust my profile picture?
Tried the search function, but couldn't find a similar question. Decided to put some pics on here to track my progress. The pics I put up are of full body shots, but for some reason MFP crops them for the profile and only shows my mid section. After much looking, I haven't been able to figure out how to adjust the picture…

Best exercises to lose extra skin and fat on lower abdomen.
I know popular belief on here seems to be that you can't target where you want to lose fat. So, this query is directed at those of you who use exercise to target specific body parts. My lower abs are wrecked from pregnancy and an unavoidable c-section. After carrying my very large son, in a very low position for the last 3…

How many calories do I need to burn to lose an inch?
So, I know there is no standard conversion for pounds lost or calories burned to inches lost, but I am stumped on setting goals for myself. I do not own a scale and don't have any intentions of tracking my weight loss by pounds. I just know how many inches I want to lose where. That being the case, I have no idea how many…
