Weighing yourself... are you guilty? :)
I admit it. I weigh myself every single day. Oh I KNOW what so many of you are going to say to me. "You shouldn't weigh yourself every day. There are factors beyond your control that fluctuate.

I am seeing improvements in how I can handle the class but not really so much in my body/weight. What has/have been your experiences with it?

Bicycling Calories?
I was wondering if anyone out there does any bicycling? I ride between 14-16 mph for about 90 minutes usually. MFP says I burn 1119 calories in that time period. I'm wondering how accurate that is.

Weight training calories
I'm sure this has been covered a thousand times, but didn't see a search option to look for it. I workout 5 days per week for 75-90 mins. I normally lift for 60min. of that time. When I enter the exercises that I do, it doesn't give me calorie credit like it does when you enter cardio. Is there a reason for this? I know…

Inches versus Pounds
I used to think loosing weight was all about the pounds, but I see such a big difference in inches and not such a big difference in pounds. Wish I would have measured "before" so I could know the number difference, but I can tell. Yay! :happy: Anyone see loss of inches before loss of pounds?
