why isn't this working?
I have been at this since August. I have stayed close to my calories, eaten my exercise calories, exercised 5-6 days a week and drank plenty of water. I have lost a few pounds then gained it back.

Just because....
I wanted to say thank you to so many of you, I think you all know who you are... Many of you have shared personal stories and motivated me and continue to do so.

I gained my weight back.
I'd only lost four pounds but I gained it back. I've been really sick and trying to get over a bad cold for the past few days so I haven't been able to exercise. But I didn't go over my calories, fat or carbs ever since I started. I don't know why my weight went so far up.

My HRM died....now what do I do? (just venting)
I workout religiously with my Polar F6 HRM. Yesterday in the middle of working out, I realized that I had no heart beat.....00 BPM:brokenheart: . I did everything could to readjust my chest strap, still no pulse. It is officially dead:sad: Luckily, when I purchased it, I got the one-year extended warranty, but it will take…

I need a pick me up...
Today I crossed paths with my first weight gain since starting MFP. It was so disappointing to see that I had gained 1.5 lbs this week. Seems like a lot to gain in a week though? Last week I was sick and miserable and could hardly eat 1200 calories a day. But I kept pushing myself to at least drink some juice or milk to…

Frustrated!
Ok, so here is where I am at. I started MFP faithfully about a month and a half ago. I have had some higher calorie days mixed in among the ones where I stuck to my goals, but it has probably been like 5 days over the month and a half. My goal is set to 1.5lbs a week, which is 1670 calories and just under my BMR. That was…
