my friend told me about this web site. i have been logging in for two weeks now. so far i have lost some weight. it seems like my weight has been going up and down and i think i have been weighing myself too often. i have been exercising regularly also and have been excited about that. i am excitied to be trying something that makes it easy for me to track what i have been doing. wish me luck !!

Here's a tip for weighing yourself, and for checking measurements;
Weigh yourself every 2 weeks, at the same time of day each time. In the morning, after you pee is the best (or so I hear)
When checking your measurements, check every 6-8 weeks, cause it takes longer for those results to be noticed.

Hi, This is my second day... My friend also sent me the link for this site... so here goes nothing!!
Good luck to you with it.

I was a bit dissappointed that this site only recognised cardiovascular exercise as calories burned and not weights... which i am sure would burn calories too.
But that is my only gripe so far.

You can log the weights under the strength training section in the tracking area.

Welcome to MFP! You can enter your weight training under your cardio. Search for "strength training." You are right, it does burn calories

@Raquel - Good luck. If you use the site, you will lose weight. Consistency is key

This is not true.... they are just listed under cardio. Wear your HRM and track them -- you can create any exercise you want.
