Which beach body program do you suggest?
I’d like to start a program to help me build muscle and slim down. My equipment at home is minimal (exercise ball, low weight dumbbells, treadmill). I’m running 3 times a week and really enjoy that, so hope to continue doing that as a stress reliever. I’ve never done strength training or weight lifting but want to start at…

Fitness and diet for results.
Looking for suggestions. I’m 47 yo female. 5’5” weigh 173 - so overweight. Hormones are out of whack - going through the change. I’m on week 6 of C25K and I’m enjoying it. Have never pushed myself like this before and I’m amazed that my body can do this. I eat a good (not perfect) diet - 80% Whole Foods. Eat between…

How do I need to adjust?
I lost about 30 lbs about 1-2 years ago. I managed to keep it off, and stopped trying to lose after I hit a plateau. About a month ago, I decided it was time to get rid of the last 15 pounds, so I’ve been working on that. It’s not a plateau - Im just stuck from the beginning. The scale hasn’t budged in four weeks. Staying…

Where do fitness app results show?
I think I’ve synced up my Fitbit to my account. Trying to figure out where those activities show up? Yesterday I did 10000 steps and 20 minutes of exercise, but I don’t see that MFP picked it up anywhere. I do see something on my homepage that says 0 Fitbit steps - 5000. Can someone with the app tell me if it seems like…

Running with a phone - how do you do it?
Until recently, I've just been tucking it in my sports bra - but now that Im running more than Im walking, that is becoming a problem. What products, arm bands, holders, belts, etc. have you found to work best?

Help on toning and lifting.
Hoping that someone who knows why they are doing might offer some suggestions. I'm 44, started at 195 and have lost down to 172 with diet mostly. Started the c25k running program four weeks ago and currently do that every other day. Other than that, I don't do any exercise. However, it's time. The weight is still slowly…

Suggested 1200
So MFP suggests a 1200 cal diet. I guess for everyone. However, I read posts from others that say that is no a great idea. Really hard to pull everyone's experiences together to come up with a good starting plan, but sure would like to. I'm 41 years old, struggle to exercise 30 minutes a day (trying, just really hate it…

Smoothies
I just ditched my 1980's blender and got a new one - pretty excited. Love that it only has one button. On or off. I had no idea what those 15 buttons were for with my other blender! I'd really like to try some good smoothies. I've never had a "real" smoothie - made by someone who knows what they're doing. I make them about…

Not meeting carbs and fat
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much at all about nutrition. I just started using MFP, although I initially signed up several years ago it seems... Im trying to stay within the guidelines that MFP has provided so that I lose 1.8 lbs a week initially (I'll scale back eventually to about 1lb a weekI hope). Based…

High calorie, but low carb and low fat?
Yesterday was my first day with this plan and at the end of the day, I had over 500 calories remaining, and some carbs and some fat (just a little of both), and I was over in my protein. Ive done Weight Watchers before and am used to counting points, but I have never considered the carbs. Is there a resource list somewhere…
