PAV8888, that's something I thought about. It might be an 'ego' thing. I always defined myself as being someone who's weight is 50KG and deep down I wanted to stay like that. I also rationalized it as there are lots of people who grow old and still remain at that weight so why can't I? I went up to 55 and now seem to be…

This sucks... :/ I stopped using MFP. This is too annoying.

sijomial, no I don't plan to stop once I reach my target. I'm 119 and I want to reach 114. It's just a few pounds but I feel I can't reach it fast enough, probably because I feel I want to eat more now in my 30s compared to my 20s. There are many reasons to keep working out like good posture, strong core and overall…

TavisstockToad, I see but I still don't know why the schedule seems to be not consistent with a goal/random. I want to know so I can fix it. sijomial, No I want to keep going even after reaching my goal. I'm 119 pounds now and I need to reach 114. I'm so close but I can't reach it because I seem to be hungry all the time…

TravisstockToad, I see what you mean but I still can't figure out why my workout routine seems not consistent with a goal. I would love to know so that I can fix it. sijomial, No I plan to keep going. I'm 119 pounds now and I want to be 114, which has always been my weight but for some reason I can't get to it. I notice I…

I give up. It's not letting me post my comments to the other people. Just imagine I did and thank you >(

TavisstockToad, I see; well I was waiting for someone to point out exactly where the inconsistency was in the schedule so I can fix it.

I wrote my answer 4 times and it won't let me post it for some reason :/

TavisstockToad, I see. I still don't understand why my routine seems to be inconsistent with a goal. I'm asking because I want to fix it. sijomial, No I don't plan to stop once I reach my target. I'm 119 now and I need to reach 114. It's just a couple few pounds but I feel like I'm stuck and not moving, probably due to the…

In this case my quest in trying to find the best platform/app to log my workout is NEVER ENDING :( Janet, I heard that but the problem is I don't like gadgets strapped to my body or close to my body for that matter. This is why I only wear the Fitbit when I workout only and never sleep with it [for anyone that's going to…

Yes that's why I was doing cardio but according to cwolfman: "Honestly, it all seems pretty random and arbitrary. I would look at establishing some fitness goals (not calorie burn goals or weight loss goals, etc)...doing so will help to provide purpose and structure to your training."

elka, but that's not accurate. So for example I'll say I worked on the treadmill for 40 minutes in order to get 150 calories when I only worked 15 minutes? Will the Premium package allow me to customize the minutes/calories further? TavistockToad, it tells me Fitbit surge is synced from both sites (fitbit & MFP) but it…

Girlwithcurls, sorry just saw your post. Yes, I should swim more. Will add that to the list! Thank u.

I see. Well I thought I had a goal by doing this: Losing those 2 kilos :/ I noticed I lose more calories with cardio compared to toning.

cwolfman13 My cardio day consists of this: 15 mins on treadmill (jogging) 10 mins on the elliptical machine (toggling every minute between levels) Another 10 minutes on the treadmill (4 very fast sprints) 10 mins cycling ---- HALFWAY - by this time I would have passed 30-45 mins and burned 200 cals --- 15 reps (3 sets) of…

Thanks Kshama, I wasn't doing pilates on my own when I was experiencing the pain. My physio therapist was keeping a close watch on me. I also plan to take her classes when she gets back from her vacation. I understand yoga can hurt, but I repeat by saying my back pain HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PILATES. My pain started 6…

Thank you all for taking the time to help. Janekana, I will try the walking, yes! TavistockToad, I tried raising the protein but my body hated it. I tried the Paleo diet when I started my workout regime at the beginning of this year and then developed horrible IBS symptoms and intolerance to food I never had intolerance to…

TavistockToad, I wish I can workout everyday. I like that after-workout soothing feeling but maybe you're right, I don't know. I just thought it could be something I'm doing that is causing that energy drop or is this something normal that has to happen- i.e. rest days are necessary. I had sensitive back before I picked up…

Wow. Lots of great suggestions. I'll look them up. Thanks guys!

Thank you guys. Will try the sites mentioned. Covens, I'm already paying a good chum for an annual gym subscription. Unfortunately, they often charge you only for using the equipment, facilities & classes only. Personal trainers are not included. The package prices for individual trainers are outrageously expensive and I…

Thank you. I'll post it there!
