Using My Fitness Pal
I'm a bit confused based on what I'm reading. I've lost twenty five pounds and hit a plateau. Then I started doing cardio 20-40 minutes 7 days a week and my weight started going up. I started using MFP in order to make sure that I was getting enough calories in order to lose the wieght. People keep referring to your…

Disneyland
I ma going to be at Disneyland tomorrow. I will be on my feet walking for almost 12 straight hours. Does anyone know how to track calories burned? I do not have a HRM, but I do have a pedometer. Will that help? I'm pretty new to the site and am totally clueless on this subject =) :blushing:

Can you really loose 2lbs a week by just eating right?
Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I've been exercising my butt off (literally) and I loose only 3ish pounds the last couple of weeks. I know from others there are loosing a lot more weight but not so much exercise. I do have in my "goals" that I will workout 60 minutes, 7 times a week, so maybe I'm going over on…

Reality Check
I posted the following on another thread recently, but I'd like to hear what you think. I've found that many people are not having the success they'd like, and often try to justify bad choices. Sometimes, I think we need a bit of a smack-down to put things in perspective. I know I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for…

My Fitness Secret
Just got back from a trip to the grocery store... Gotta admit I smiled a little bit when the man in front of me (buying steaks and danishes) looked at my food on the conveyor belt and said "Now, that's just too healthy!" I got to thinking, and I realized that riding my bike to do my shopping is one of my best fitness…

what do you know about jenny craig (UK)?
I've been on a similar programme but there isn't a vast choice of vegetarian meals and I've had problems with delivery so I was thinking of trying Jenny Craig. I've looked at the website which tells you everything...except how much it costs :noway: trying to find out the cost before signing up or a very lengthy phone call…

I have a question...
Does the exercise goals in your profile make a difference on the calories? I just want to make sure that is there as just a goal and not affecting anything since I track my calories and calories burned daily.... Thanks!!! Kristina

sabatoge!!

What has worked best for you?
Hey everyone! I'm just wondering - if you could give one piece of advice to someone trying to lose weight, what would it be? I'm curious as to what little tips and tricks are working for everyone else out there. Thanks! :]

Water!!
I saw Dr.Oz today and he said that drinking water to hydrate your skin is a myth!! He said drinking water will not prevent you from getting wrinkles as you age. He said you have to hydrate from the top down. In other words, moisturize. Not from the inside out. I take that to mean that this goes for preventing saggy skin…

Don't give up!
In the past few days I have read several posts where the poster is on the verge of throwing in the towel as they are no longer losing weight, or have gained a few pounds. I just want everyone who feels this way to remember what they have ALREADY lost, the changes they have made and how much better they feel. Look back at…

Lost Motivation?
I think that people should realize that reaching your weight loss goals is not all about motivation, Because every one of us gets to a point when we lose that motivation, whether its for a few days or longer. The important part is commitment, Its about pushing yourself especially when you dont feel motivation. Dont get me…

children and obesity
I'm seeing so many overweight kids in my gym, it's such a problem, that we have specific classes for 6-10 yr old obese kids. And there is actually a waiting list to get into the program. The parents themselves are almost always very heavy, it's a scary, unhealthy trend that needs to stop. Kids learn poor eating habits from…

Eating TOO much...?
Hey all, I'm new here to MFP. And I'm getting overwhelmed with all of the information... in a good way! :) The one thing I am questioning is my calories in. I know, I know, MFP is smart and I should stop thinking about it! Here's the deal, MFP tells me to eat 1,640 calories per day... not including most of my exercise…
