  • I would recommend getting a heart rate monitor to measure your calorie burn just to have something to compare against. Or borrow one from someone you know. Once you know if there is a difference between what MFP is marking and what the HRM is showing, then you can get a baseline idea of your actual workout. When I run on…

  • My ideal is that I would donate on a Friday after I have already worked out. Only this time the blood donation was set up by my work and today was the day. I have blocked off tomorrow and the next day to take it easy. But, that will only give me Friday to work out which is one of 5 days for the week to work out. Thanks for…

  • I gained 2. I weighed myself right before the weekend started and then this morning. For just one weekend, I gained 2 pounds. Time to get back into the correct swing of things.

  • My personal opinion is that you should not feel bad about one "cheating day." Especially if you have been really good about all of the other days leading up to it.

  • There were some glitches with the Blackberry app. But the latest update I have not found any issues. Regardless, I use the app all the time. I am constantly moving.

  • My wife, before getting pregnant lost a lot of weight at first by merely removing processed foods from her diet. It was hard as most of the things she loved she could not eat.

  • smltwngrl: I feel your need for motivation. I am one that likes efficiency. But hates anything that slows me down. I have an app on my BlackBerry that I just installed. It's great. But to have to pull it out and log everything that I eat makes me think twice before I start eating. Is what I am about eat worth it? I have…
