Be careful with MFP calorie estimates - don't work for everyone
My goal is to maintain my weight. If I eat according to MFP, I gain weight. If I eat according to My Tracks, I maintain. MFP or MapMyRide consistently estimate my calories burned during a bike ride by 200% to 350%. For example, I rode 41 minutes today, 16-20 mph, and MFP imported from MapMyRide that I burned 632 calories;…

Using my FitBit Charge HR correctly?
I've had a Fitbit for a few months now, but it's only recently that I've started to do more exercise. Usually I keep my Fitbit out of exercise mode when exercising and then add it to MFP afterwards, but should I actually put my Fitbit into exercise mode as soon as I start exercising on the treadmill or elliptical? It…

21 Day Fix Salad Dressing Recipes ??
So I am poor but trying and to eat healthy (I'm sure I am not the only one who knows this can be a difficult task at times) and I am going to attempt the 21day fix meal plan (I found guides online so I do not have to buy the pricey plan even though I am a BB coach I cannot afford it). I looked around online and most of the…

Underweight, 26 weeks pregnant, and no weight gain
I could use some support, tips, and maybe new friends :) I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my second child and have not gained any weight. I'm 5.8" and started out around 123 pounds. I quickly went up to about 128 (largely due to bloating thanks to the fertility drugs!) but then went back down. I weighed 121.5 this morning at the…

Weight Training - Gym
I've been going to the gym and have been doing weights, 3 sets of 12 reps on various equipment. How do I enter this into my diary? The choices are far too basic. And what ever I do enter, it says I haven't burnt any calories. Not sure how this should work, what are other people entering?

A guide to get you started on your path to Sexypants.
I generally think that people put emphasis on things that either don't matter at all, or only matter a small amount, while ignoring the things that matter a great deal. Overview of what I think is important: 1) Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating…

cooks, chefs, anyone who works in a kitchen for a living
Hey everyone, my name is angela, and I have been in the culinary field for almost 8 years now. Over those 8 years I have managed to both gain and lose weight.

Which scale is more accurate?
My doctor's fancy digital scale reading differs from the reading on the mechanical one that I have at home with the easy-to-read dial. I'm wearing the same clothes for both but the results are totally different. My doctor's digital scale says that I gained 1 lb. in three weeks but my bathroom one says I've lost 4 lbs. I…

Female Bulking Advice Needed
First a little background. I’m a 46 year old mother of three. In mid-June, I started lifting weights with good results. I was able to take my body fat from 24% to about 18%.

This really works
Hi, I'm currently starting back on my fitness pal. I've been on it before and I dropped from a size 14 to a size 8 for my wedding all from eating healthy. I've had a couple of stressful times since then and ballooned to size 16-18 from comfort eating, something I've never done before. Now I'm determined to get back to a…

Lost 22lbs.
This is the most weight I've ever lost on the million and one weight loss journeys I've been on. But I don't see a difference. I feel like I still look the same as I did 22lbs ago. I still have 80-100 more pounds to go to reach my goal. I'd just like to start seeing the results on more than just the scale. Since I have so…

I have lost about 8stone, going from size 22 UK to size 8 UKish, so maybe I could help some others out too. I have recently put up a bit of…

daily weigh ins make me want to smash things like Hulk.
I've been on this journey since mid March and at first I was weighing in daily. You know how it goes at first, the weight just seems to fall off when you find something that works. A month or so goes by and the weight is not coming off as fast. This is to be expected but still kind of sucks. So. It's morning. I'm standing…
