Unsure how to get started
Hi there. This is my first foray into any kind of weight loss or diet control, and I'm still trying to learn all the jargon, science, rules, myths and everything. I'll try and keep it brief. Age 19 to 25 I was in martial arts training 5 times a week, and mountain biking once or twice a week. I ate healthy, I homecook most…

When To Weigh?
Hey, there! I was wondering when I should weigh for the most accurate reading (not necessarily the lightest). As of now, I weigh twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I gain two pounds (roughly, sometimes 1 and sometimes 3, depending on what I ate/if I worked out that day) from morning to night. I know that…

A goal a month group!
Hi all! One of the groups here on MFP that I joined was A goal a month group and I really liked it! We basically use a google doc spread sheet to set weight goals and how we plan on obtaining them for the month - we weigh in once a week and log our progress. I felt that seeing and obtaining smaller monthly goals was very…

Starting 5K Training program
I just started a 5K training program. I had done week 1 of C25K last week, then I found a new app. It's called Zombies, Run! They have it for regular running and training for 5K. I'm loving it! It's been a big help in just the first day of me doing it. I love the story script that plays along with the couching. Would…

Need a workout plan
Hi :) I started working out last week, but I feel like I'm either not doing it right or I'm not doing what I really need to be doing. A little about me first.. I'm 25.

Ack! Better work that off!
So I made some "pizza bread" today, which is one of my favorites. Then I created the recipe using the handy dandy little tool on here. CRAP! Even with the 3 miles of walking I did this morning I was over my fat allotment for the day. I'm so ready to not be fat; so as much as I hate it, another 30 minutes of areobics and 10…
