EXACTLY!!

20 min of Zumba and a 22min - 2.5 mile run on the eliptical

OK I will try that in the morning and see what it gives me. Thanks for the suggestions.

I just got one too and having problems as well. I tried it for the first time with Zumba yesterday and the website said with a low intensity workout I should have burned at least 186 in 20 min and the HRM watch said 45 calories. So I am taking it back because to me it doesn't work and getting a chest HRM. Sorry I am no…

I, myself, am not wanting to log it---I am trying to pose a question and prove a point that it is not enough to take place of a "workout" which some on MFP do and I think they are cheating themselves and why they don't loose weight. It was just a test of what you would burn in 30 min of cleaning vs 30 min of running.

Thank you. That is why I wanted to see what it showed because I am not a fan of logging cleaning either and never have but thought let's see what it burns in 30 min vs my 30 min run. 37 calories vs 300 calories....going to stick to running ;)

yep, if I am hungry I will eat what I need to back from that burn

If this is still open I would like to get in!! Name: Mom2Asa Current weight: 178 Goal Weight: 135 In 90 days I would like to at least put on a bathing suit without being fully covered over it.

I eat when I am hungry and it tends to be 6 times a day as logged but in all truth my snack may take me 2 hours to consume but it was not my lunch or breakfast per se so I log as a snack. I don't care when I eat as long as I eat when I am hungry and stay within my calorie ranges. If my body is hungry it will let me know…

I totally disagree. Those men/women who are AWAY in the military aren't home and choosing not to help. This man is home and capable of helping, yet still makes the choice not to help, which makes it much worse. Blessed would be having a man who helps because he is part of the family and wants to contribute more than a…

We are in a similar boat. My hubby is gone 2 weeks and then home 2 weeks. So 2 weeks a month I am solo 24/7 to take care of our 8mo old, run 2 businesses from home and keep house. What gets done gets done, period. When he is home it used to be an issue being just another extra on my plate till lately. We had a chat and I…

I do it. I tend to run every morning becuase it makes me feel good and gets me started but I also find myself on the Wii at night playing or exercising---either way I am burning calories both times.

Regular good tasting yummy Yougart, peanut butter, whole milk, cheese, whole wheat non enriched crackers---all high in calories and better for you than a big mac. Heck even tuna can add some calories---a 6.4oz pouch has almost 400 calories but it might be too filling for you and cause you to eat even less.....ok scratch…

Does Free Step count?? My Zumba won't be in till Wed and I really can't think of anything else that could keep my attention for 10 min

At first i did not use it but when I started trying to log foods that were in OZ I was having to guess. One day I guessed then weighed the portion and I was way off and I have used it for everything ever since. The actual weight was double my guess!!!! If the serving size listed on something is not a portion of a cup or…

I agree. People make comments about my food diary and honestly I don't care but I do think it is rude. I eat the foods I like to eat, I focus on what I want to focus on and just because I am not eating what others eat to loose weight doesn't mean it doesn't work for me. I don't have a problem with food and food is not the…

If it is that big of a problem for you that you don't want to be around your friends out of fear of eating the wrong foods then EAT before you go so you are not hungry and if you are you can order something very small and as healthy as you can get so you are not doing as bad. Also once a month is not going to KILL your…

Visser -40? I don't think you look 40 but more mid 30's at most but I figure the 1971 behind your name is a hint :)

Same here!! I had so much sugar Christmas eve that I felt drunk when driving home and I had not drank a drop!! Yesterday I felt hungover all day and I know it is from the suagr since I don't really eat it anymore. I had a little sugar yesterday but not a whole lot. Today I feel better but still not up to par so today I…

Finish off the rest of the 85lbs I began loosing in Oct 2011 and keep it off!! KEEP running 18 miles a week and push to increase to 20 Begin Zumba to start toning and building muscle Sell our current home and buy a bigger home Run at least 1 5K and 1 10K

I'm 5'9". At 216 I was in a size 18. I am 176 now and nothing fits. Everything is too big and extreme muffin top on my designer size 32's from 3 years ago but I refuse to shop yet since I am not done. 7 yrs ago before the accident that led to this massive weight gain I was 135lb size 8 I have big bones and I am not a fan…

It happens---It's called life and you can't beat yourself up about it!! What is done is done and don't regret it---just get up in the AM and do better. When you beat yourself up you end up giving up when it is all said and done. This is maybe the biggest reason I calorie cycle because I intend on living my life---I am not…

Thanks but that is the bad part----the baby weight was already GONE in both pics!! I lost the baby gain in 6 weeks and was just back to being my origial fat self LOL not anymore!!!!

Thanks!! I am so glad to have you on my MFP!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!! I love Premier too--I am a jewelry lady :)

YIKES---All I can see is the fat pic LOL LOL

Why doesn't it show up here? Am I doing something wrong? I followed the directions in the help section :( Thank you BTW

My pics won't post and my ticker is not right..... :( Wish I could delete this topic till I can get it right!!

Same here. It is hard to see a difference of my own weight loss (close to the same) but I can see a difference in everyone else ,including you, so I guess it is just the way we see ourselves still.
