Stupid questions....I'm new!

There are no stupid questions.... just stupid people who ask questions! :laugh:

A speaker said that once at a conference and I thought it was the most hilarious thing ever...

You should be able to find interval training under the exercise tab...or if you have a Heart Rate Monitor you can create your own. and under the home tab there should be a goals menu to select.

as to where to go, On the MY HOME tab at the top, there is a link for goals, click on that, then click on the green "Change Goals" button at the bottom.

I created a quick guide for people. Read through it, it should help.

Hi all
Nice to meet you

I had a couple of stupid questions to ask ^.^

Just wondered how you set your loss goals up and how?
Also, how do you track interval training?

Thank you all

I set my goal by looking at old photos and realizing when I was in the best shape (in my mind). To me it was when I was in HS. I found an old program from football, looked at my weight, and decided to set it 10 lbs less.

I don't track interval training. The best thing I can tell you is to try and see how long it takes you to do x number of reps and see if you can beat that time and when you can increase weight.

When you set up your goals in MFP, did you select a 1 pound a week loss, or 2 or 1/2? Depending on what you selected, you can extrapolate that out to a certain date. Ie; At a 1 pound a week loss, in 3 months, you ideally will have lost 13 pounds. So on April 7'th, you'd like to be 13 pounds lighter than today.
