Heart rate monitor
I have been using my HRM on and off for a year now, starting the last month or so getting very consistent with it.

Sugar Confusion
Hey guys. So I'm a little confused on the sugar amounts MFP allows me. Right now I'm just trying to track everything to see where my problem areas are. I am always WAY over in sugar. Even when I'm trying to cut out the candy(I have an addiction). Just a cup of oj and banana threw me over today. I also noticed that several…

Trainer: Yay or nay?
Hello! So, I just switched gyms, from the YMCA to LA Fitness. I received my free training assessment and of course the trainer kicked my butt. He tried to get me to get a training package, and you know, for my weight, height and body fat percentage (169 lbs, 5'4", and 34%) I really am considering it, especially at my age…

10 week challenege ladies!?
Motivation is the key here. I've lost and gained weight over and over. The older I get the harder it is for me to lose it as fast. 3 years ago I dropped 20+ pounds over the course of a few months with clean eating and exercising daily. I need that motivation back. I would love to drop a significant amount of fat and gain…

Heart Rate Monitor
I think I am going to get one of these, to get a better accurate of calories burned and my heart rate during exercise. I have been doing insanity (until I got shin splints so bad I couldn't keep going) and am now doing Hip Hop Abs and walking. I don't really trust the calorie measures for some of these. Long story short, I…

New here. Trouble counting calories on unpackaged foods.
I've recently lost about 25lbs and would like to continue the trend by adding exercise. I noticed MFP is heavy on tracking food. I'm having trouble with this as I'm trying to eliminate processed foods as much as possible and there seems to be nothing but brands(processed foods) in the database. Anyone have difficulties…

Need to succeed!
Tried everything you can think of - been big all my life - now at my biggest ever. Should lose 6 stone but would be happy with 3. Been big ALL my life so it's normal for me. Trouble is I do well to begin and then it all goes to hell. If I don't succeed this time I hate to think how shortened my life may be. Wish me luck.

Am I ready for p90x?
Hi everyone :) I started out weighing 260 lbs a year or so ago, now I'm sitting at 160. I only have 15-20 lbs left to lose and I was wondering if doing p90x would help me work off that extra weight and tone up? I think 90 days is a fair amount of time to lose that last bit of weight but I also want to build some muscle. My…
