Opinions?: Everything else is toning BUT my stomach!
I work out usually 5 - 6 times a week, I alternate through all the body parts, and I work abs about 1-2 times a week because I know just doing crunches won't make me "spot reduce". Usually afterwards I do about 20-30 mins of interval cardio. My days off I usually will do 20 mins cardio or maybe horse back riding for an…

opinions on vacation and new programs?
Hello! So this Sunday I am leaving for vacation till Wednesday. I am going to do my absolute best to watch what I'm eating, log my foods, and exercise. I know the hotel will have an attached gym, but I have no clue what equipment they will have. But my biggest question is, when I return I plan on starting Jamie Eason's…

Fitbit over estimating your calorie deficit?
Hi there! I hope this is the right place to post this. Today I took about 12,000 steps according to my fitbit. This gave me a 600 calorie deficit and of course MFP wants me to eat it back because it pretty much netted me under 1000 calories. But my issue is I really don't feel like I 'worked hard enough' to eat back 600…

Vegetarian Protein options, please help! :)

BMR and eating back calories--please help!
Okay, this might have been asked like a million times and I'm sorry for that. I just need a yes or no pretty much! My BMR is 1,508. If I eat 1500ish calories everyday, and burn about 200-300, I would net about 1,200-1,300 calories per day. Would this put me into a 'starvation' mode because I am below my BMR? I always…

Eaitng Back Calories
Okay, I know there's probably like a million threads about this, but it's not a should I or shouldn't I type of board. I was wondering, what are the benefits/needs of eating back calories, and what happens if I DON'T eat back calories I burn? I wonder, because I don't. I eat about 1650 calories a day, and probably burn…

Help with sugars and cholesterol?
Hello! So here's my deal. Every day I seem to go over in Sugar and Cholesterol. I know why my cholesterol is high--I eat 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast about 4 days of the week. I'm reluctant to give them up... But i have no idea why my sugar always seems so high! I think lately I eat so many different fruits that…

Rethinking my weight goal? 5'6" female help please :)
Hello! I am 5'6" My goal is to be 150lbs, and currently I am 164lbs. My measurements are 38-28.5-39. But lately I'm thinking that maybe my goal is too high (weight wise) and I could possibly be looking to weigh lower than that?

OxyElite Pro Question
I have heard a lot about OEP lately, and I wanted to know from someone who HAS taken the product. Once you've lost your weight, and have finished the 8 weeks (which I think is go through the cycle of 1 bottle, 4 weeks off, 1 bottle again--correct me if I'm wrong please!) should you continue to use the product? Or then quit…

Yoga X calorie burn? Also, questions?
Hello! So on average for women, how many calories do you burn doing the COMPLETE yoga x? Yoga X is from P90X for those who do not know. I don't have a heart rate monitor so I can't tell for myself, and my fitbit definitely can't tell! lol. Also, when doing the the push ups inbetween, how do do you do your push ups? Elbows…

Not sure where to post: FITBIT help please!!
Hello everyone! I have a fitbit, and I love it! I do have a question though about how it sync's with MFP and how it calculates 'exercise calories'. So sometimes, I will sync my fitbit and it will show up on MFP that I burned a certain amount of calories as exercise. Example, after working out it synced burned 500 calories.…

Fitbit calorie tracker--your reviews? Any other HRM
Hello! I am wondering about those of you who have Fitbit trackers (the little black ones that either have blue or pink on them) what you think of them? I know they are supposed to count your calories and everything, but how accurate do you find they are? Sometimes I think the suggested calories burned on MFP seems high, or…

Juicing!
I've been interested lately in buying a juicer because I've heard some great things about juicing, and how healthy is. Anyone's opinions on this? Do you like it, is it too expensive? Have you noticed any difference after starting juicing? I want to start getting more vegetables in my diet and this sounded like a tastier…
