    Doesn't seem like you workout to much to me because if I said you did then that means that I do because I workout 4-5 days a week and burn no less than 500 calories each time plus I hit the weights 4 days a week. Your body is probably adjusting try switchin up your routine a bit do something- if you usually use the elliptical get on the stair climber for your cardio or get on the bike- Try taking a class or something keep your body guessing always your body can get used to workouts so you have to change things up a bit.
    How do you know what your burning when you workout? Do you wear a HRM?

    25-300 what? Sometime your body needs rest and if your doing strength training muscle will have a weigh in factor :smile:

    Remember that when working out you are building lean muscle mass which means you may be toning but not really losing weight. I was stuck at the same weight for almost month ( eating the same and working out more) and now this week I finally dropped a lb again. Hang in there.:smile:

    I agree. Once a week is just right. It was making me crazy just checking every other day. I have to force myself to wait until Tuesday to weigh in.

    hrm is definitely more accurate. it has your age, weight, height, gender, etc. where as the treadmill only usually asks for weight and age.

    To the HRM question

    The HRM is more accurate- I have a polar F4 and I love it. Mfp calculations are wrong along with other websites calculations + the machines at the gym are wrong-

    I think if you eat your exercise calories you should def get a HRM so you are eating the correct amount back not going over too many ect..

    As far as the person who started this thread I think your body is just adjusting to everything and you should be fine just keep at your workout try spicing it up- If you want to play with your calories try zig zagging them- like 1400 one day, 1350 another, 1450 ect..
