Can this be right?
So, my DH gave me a heart rate monitor for my birthday. Used it yesterday, but only was able to tell my heart rate and if I was in my zone. Reread the instructions this morning, and figured out how to get it to do my calories and time in my zone and all that.... After 35 minutes on the elliptical, doing the hill climb, my…

Caloric intake...
I haven't once been able to consume the recommended caloric intake MPF has set for me. Do you think this is going to decrease the amount of weight I lose? I eat 6 small meals a day and still don't hit the calories. I don't eat chocolates breads or many sweets period. I limit my portions and drink LOADS and LOADS of water.…

Just joined Urban Active
Snow flurries this morning forced me to join the gym a little early this year. Can't handle the cold so I am forced to go indoors for my cardio. The place is super nice but the weights section is so intimidating! Any suggestions on how to deal with the meat heads? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

SBF...October 27
Morning, I've had a wake up call. I stepped on the scale and realized I've been fooling myself and I've been lying to myself. I've gained back all but 5 pounds of what I've lost since late last year. I know that some of that is muscle because I'm more toned now than I was then, but my size 14's are tight and I was in a 12…

Those new scales...arghh
So I went to walmart and bought new bathroom scales! It has a memory feature and shows your last weight and tells whether you are up or down and by how much. I'm standing there trying to figure out how to operate this thing and was happy that it revealed the same weight as my old scales. Oh, and this scale can read and…

OK, posting to keep me honest
Hi all my MFP friends, I have been on the recovery list for 3 weeks and two days now and I have had a lot of good wishes from a lot of you. Thank you so much. The first couple of weeks of not doing anything (but sitting and doing nothing) was kind of ok. I maintained my weight and didn't really gain anything. But then it…

Sore legs, sore arms, sore wrists, but luckily no blisters. So, I…

yet another HRM question...
I know I have seen a million questions posted on here about Heart Rate Monitors, but I am completely stupid when it comes to them :blushing: . I am currently deployed and do a TON of walking and try to work out as much as possible. I've decided that this may be a wise purchase to make but like I said I don't know anything…

Back Pain
Does anyone have any advice, I've just recently started to use the treadmill and after only 2-3 minutes I get a really bad pain in my lower back.
