  • Welcome to MFP from a GATOR fan living in Alabama! (I bet just saying GATOR has raised your blood pressure and made you burn about 100 calories... LOL) Good luck on your journey. You have a great attitude and have accomplished much already!

  • I guess it depends on what you are trying to determine. A sports bra is meant to be snug so you will measure smaller. A regular bra is not, so will give you a more accurate number to what your actual breast size is.

  • My daughter works at a Mom and Pop pizza place and they order most of their ingredients from the same place as major chains do. With that being said....there is a *neighborhood pizzeria* option on MFP. Not for all things but it is there. You could just use the major chains count and be sure to notice if the dough is pan…

  • I do the same thing....4 hours of shopping equals 2 hours of walking at a slow pace. I always underestimate on the exercise and overestimate on the calories (if I am unsure).

  • Bottom line...you have to find what works for you. Some people have a higher metabolism than others so will lose weight quicker. Whether genetics, health, metabolism, whatever play a role, or not, there is something that will work for you individually. You just gotta find it and stick with it!! :) Looks as if you have…

  • Would sooooo love to be a knitter. My beautiful grandmother tried to teach me for years how to knit but I was too busy climbing trees and playing baseball with the boys. I sure wish I could have a talk with that little girl and tell her to sit still and listen to what she was trying to teach me. I do, however, own several…

  • Each person is different and her comment about having 400 lb people doing jumping jacks and if they can do it, you can do it is simply wrong. how can having 400 lbs. slamming down on your knees and ankles while doing jumping jacks be a good thing?? At any rate...that is a personal opinion. I realize that she is trying to…

  • denisec26...I think the lesson here is that just as everyone's body is different, so are the calculators! Someone who weighs 200 lbs. is going to burn more calories than someone who weighs 145 lbs. I don't think any of the "calculators" are dead on accurate. If you find that you aren't losing or are gaining some of your…
    in difference between treadmill and walking? Comment by LoriT129 December 2010
  • I agree with Ruth...walk up an down those bleachers and count it as stair climbing. Or maybe walk around the outside of the pool a time or two in between matches. Park far from the entrance and make a few trips to the car. Walk fast!! Good luck to your son!! :)

  • One thing to consider, as well, is that when you are on the treadmill it is a guaranteed 3.5 speed. You can't really slow down the pace without changing the settings. When walking, it isn't a guaranteed speed. I know while using my pedometer app on my phone, I will think that I am walking at a set speed but it fluctuates…
