I keep having dreams about eating a bunch of junk!
Hello my fellow health conscious peers, So, I have lost 35 pounds since mid January. I'm doing great. I do not deprive myself- I like to eat primarily healthy for my well being but I don't deny myself a burger and cookies one day of the week. Lately, at least 3 times a week, I've been having dreams (nightmares) that I…

Other options for wearing a Fitbit Flex?
I have a Fitbit Flex that I want to wear at work. I'm an RN in a busy ER and walk all day long at work. If I wear my Flex on my wrist I find that I end up having it come off a lot as I'm positioning patients or changing linens on the beds. If I wear it on my dominant arm I log steps that I haven't taken as I scrub beds…

1200 calories?
I've been going through some of the sticky posts in the forums, trying to get answers to some questions. A few of them seem to suggest that 1200 calories as the target is low, and that's because of how you filled out the initial goals. Some of these posts are helpful, like this one…

eating healthy on the road
Hi everyone, So here's what's going on. My job requires me to be away from home for weeks at a time, staying in motel 6's with no stove or microwave. I feel semi good about my eating habits at the moment. Just want to reassure myself a few things. I've been eating turkey subs on wheat bread and stuff like that from subway.…

Neck Exercises?
One of the places that I've accumulated fat that drives me crazy the most is my neck fat. I found a few exercises/stretches online that is supposed to help to get rid of neck fat / double chin, but I don't necessarily know if they've done anything other than make me look ridiculous when I'm doing them. I don't think the…

How did I get to this weight?!!
Nothing like a reality slap when you can only fit into your elastic "comfy" shorts and have the vacation of a lifetime in less than 100 days!!!! Time to get serious, drop the weight and inches and get back in those comfy shorts BEFORE summer is over!

I work nights...when do I eat?!
Hi I'm trying to figure out a regular nutrition routine for myself because I work nights. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to eat "breakfast" or my first meal and so on. I work 10p-6a I sleep 7a-12p I workout 12:30-2:30 and I sometimes get a nap in before work 7p-9p. As far as what I'm eating I make healthier choices and I…

Finally, after four years!
I finally hit my goal weight today! I've been seriously working on weight loss since January 1, 2012 (I dabbled a bit starting in 2007 and lost 20lbs on the Special K diet, didn't gain it back, but didn't keep it up either). I pretty much knew zero about what I was doing when I started. I did try tracking calories on paper…

Which Weight Routine do you Suggest?
Hi all, I know this gets asked all the time.... I have been working with a trainer twice a week since the 1st of the year, plus 3 days of cardio (running). All that, paired with eating at a deficit and logging on MFP, I have lost 17 lbs out of the 50 lbs or so that I would like to lose. Unfortunately, I have almost used up…

weight gain
I recently had my first hiccup. I eat less calories then I burn and I exercise almost every day for an hour. I lost almost 19 pounds in three weeks tomorrow but I put on 2 pounds since my last weight in. I am not going to let this make me lose motivation but it is disappointing to be doing everything right and gain weight.

Binge Eating Disorder
Hey everyone, During 2014 I was really successful on MFP, lost 75lbs (from 264lbs in April) no problem as I had absolutely cut out all sweet things (cake/chocolate bars/fizzy drinks etc) and had no cravings for them. Since christmas, when everyone brought in chocolate virtually every day, I've been struggling with my binge…

So, today I walked my butt off but Garmin did not track. Info for others with Vivofit.
Today I walked like crazy looking/shopping for Mother's Day gifts. After I looked at my Vivofit I thought "maybe I need a new battery". But......no. I looked up the FAQ and come to find out if strolling car, shopping cart, treadmill, etc. the Vivofit will NOT track doing that time. This is the first complaint I have had…
