Air Fried Sweet Potato
I am trying to find the right way to measure this. I chop up my sweet potato and toss it with 1/2t of avo oil and salt. Do I weigh pre or post cooked? The search in the diary isnt helpful.

Glitch in recipe input?
I put in a recipe and it says 207cals and when I log it it jumps up to 907 cals for some reason. I have input it twice now and it did it both times. Am I doing something wrong?

Dominos Calories
So we're having Dominos pizza, a large with pepperoni, italian sausage, and black olives for dinner. A large hand tossed pepperoni is 300 per slice, but the cal-o-meter wont work to add in the sausage and olives. What's a good guess? maybe 50?

One of those moments....
I feel so stupid and I cant get over it. Last year, I lost 20lbs in 2 months just by following the great advice on here, CICO. I also did the 30 Day Shred most nights to help. So this time when I am back on the healthy kick wagon, I for some reason bought the 21 Day Fix stuff. Shakeology and all. I like the idea of…

Shortie riding with a kiddo kangaroo style
I'm trying to figure out how all this will work. I want to get a half bike for my oldest to be on the back of my bike. I wanted my youngest to be in a seat behind me. I don't think it will work out so I am going to see if I can put him on kangaroo style but I'm short (5' 3") and getting a 24" bike. Is there a good seat for…

Losing everywhere but my belly....
I have lost 6lbs and several inches overall (don't know exact number). My face and muffin top are the most noticeable, but my belly is no different. I'm getting pissed off and self conscious, well more than normal. Is it water weight? Is it a "time" thing? I know you can't spot reduce, but I need SOMETHING to happen there.…

How to track bike riding?
My husband and I are getting bikes in a couple weeks. I plan to get out two or three days a week. I'll have two kids in tow as well, one will be in a seat on the back and one will be on a connected half bike thing behind me. I'm not sure how all that factors into anything, if at all. I currently have a Polar watch I can…

Ladies....do you give yourself a "pass" during THAT time?
I just started yesterday and I am having a really REALLY hard time not shoving crap in my face. I want all the sweets and junk out there. I was bad and had two cookies and a fudge bar yesterday and I want MORE. I'm also hoping that this is why I haven't lost much.

Went for a jog/run but forgot my HRM. WWYD?
I went out this morning and I did a light jog/run the radius of about 3 blocks but I walked about a third of it. I'm not too sure how to enter it. Thanks!

Vacation weekend, how do I keep on track?
I plan to stay at maintenance or under if I can since I wont be doing any exercise other than walking around (have my FitBit for that). I don't want to change MFP for 4 days to maintain calories, so if I calculated right I base it on my TDEE? I have written down 2182? I am 5'3", currently 157lbs, 24yrs old, female.

It's been 18lbs since my husband has seen me.

gluten free or paleo for hypothyroidism?
My son was recently diagnosed and we are working toward treatment. When we go to his appointment in a couple days i am going to ask about a recommended diet. I had read both gluten free and paleo have been said to help but I cannot find any medical advice, just personal stories. Are there any reputable sources from a…

Feel like I keep getting beaten down.
I started strong and it's slowly gone down hill. My motivation is gone, I'm flat out exhausted and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. In two months I've lost 16lbs, it's amazing, but it's not enough to motivate me. My kids have gotten sick, health scare with my oldest, moving in less than 3 months 4800 miles with two…

when I hit my first goal, do I up my calories?
I started at 175 and am 1.5lbs from my first goal of 160. My hope is to get to 140 (I am 5'3") by Christmas. I am currently set to 1320cals a day for a 1.5lb weight loss per week. Once I hit 160 and have 20lbs left, do I up my calories for a slower loss? I've seen the "chart" saying a specific weight loss range with loss…

Are there moves that help with armpit fat?
I want to wear my tank tops, and bras for that matter, without that bit hanging over. Are there things that can help or is it a matter of losing the fat (calorie deficit I know)?

Trying to find the balance (TDEE and all)
I've looked at various recommended sites and they all say roughly the same numbers, but MFP has me lower, a lot. The last I calculated, my BMR is 1492, TDEE is 2182 and a 20% deficit is 1745. MFP has me at 1320 cal a day for a 1.5lb loss per week. I'm 5'3", 164 currently (started at 175 5.5 weeks ago), I am doing the 30…

My weight loss is coming from the wrong area
I've lost 10lbs so far. Honestly, I don't "see" a difference at all except in one place....my chest...they're a lot smaller and that makes me so sad. I know I can't spot reduce, but can I spot enhance (not surgically)? Haha. If only.....

Starting 30 Day Shred (again) tomorrow!
I finished on Friday and I'm starting again tomorrow (attempting no modification). I also am going to try to work in running, but I don't know how that will go. Feel free to add me! I have an open diary and try to post daily for accountability (on my page)

Motivating yourself when you're depressed?
I've noticed the last few days I've been tired, angry and not motivated at all. I knew the date was coming up, but I have tried not thinking too much about it. April 19 2005 I lost my grandfather who was the most important man in my life. April 19 2010 I lost a very much wanted baby. I'm an emotional eater. I just want to…

How often is "ok" to eat tuna?

Nervous about Easter?
I'm traveling alone with my two boys (stressful) to see family who cooks divine food. I always over-eat there and none of it's healthy (think Paula Deen level). This is my first time being with anyone where I don't control what's gone in the foods and have a way to measure it. How will you keep yourself in check? Dessert…

I have 6 weeks to kick my own butt
Originally I was not going to see my husband for 4.5 months, now that's been cut in halfish and we're taking a trip to see him. I'm making progress, but I want to stun him. I need to keep motivated. I was doing great with my 30DS until my rest day between levels 1 & 2. I ate so much crap and I've taken 4 more days off (two…

Workout shoe recommendations?
I am doing 30DS and my feet were KILLING me. It felt like the arch was hitting a nerve that made my foot tense/spasm. I tried barefoot, but I need traction and my shins hurt. I currently have a pair of year old running shoes, so I need new ones anyway. I am not a runner, yet, but I will be exercising and walking a TON over…

What's the point of my fitbit?
I have the Fitbit One and the Polar FT4. I use the HRM for my workouts, but if that overrides what my Fitbit does, what's the point of wearing it?

How do I figure up calories in my dinner?
I'm making chicken breast cooked in cream of mushroom soup with a packet of dry ranch (Hidden Valley) and a packet of dry brown gravy (McCormick). There are five breasts and there's maybe 2T of the sauce on it when I eat the chicken.

I feel like I should be sore....30 Day Shred
I've done four days of 30 day shred (all level 1) now and today, I feel nothing. I know my body gets used to it and all, but if I started out taking frequent brakes and feeling like death, shouldn't I still feel something? My endurance has gone up some and I am pushing more each time, but is that not enough?
