  • Hi Everyone! I'm Irene. I'm 34 years old, 5'7" and weigh 155 pounds. Four years ago I used myfitnesspal to go from 153 pounds to 125 pounds, and I was in the best shape of my life. I kept my weight in the 125-135 pound range until I got pregnant early last year. Now I'm back on myfitnesspal to lose the rest of the baby…

  • I just tried them out, I really liked if! The calorie burn it calculates was pretty similar to what my heart rate monitor calculated (never even close on traditional ellipticals). I felt it was a better workout for my glutes and hamstrings than traditional elliptical.

  • Hi! I also recently purchased a heart rate monitor, I got the Polar FT4. I've used it on the treadmill and elliptical machine, and on both machines, my heart rate from my monitor is displayed on the machine, which also surprised me. My heart rate monitor also tells me that I burn more calories than either the treadmill or…

  • I do both and enjoy them both. I had knee surgery last year from a skiing accident, and when I started running again, I had all sorts of problems with knee pain. I saw a physical therapist and he really helped me work on my running form, I noticed an immediate difference. If you have pain while running, it might be good to…

  • I log most days, but I usually have one sometimes two days a week that I don't log. I have a pretty good idea of how much food is too much thanks to mfp, so I keep it reasonable and don't stress over logging. I was becoming a bit too obsessed over the numbers, so I decided to give myself one day a week to not log. If I…

  • I'm 5'6", when I started getting back into exercising I weighed 152.5 lbs and my body fat was 36.8%. Three months ago I weighed 150.6 lbs and my body fat was 33.9%. It was at that time that I started using mfp. Today I weigh 138 lbs and I'm getting my body fat done next week. I would like to have my body fat percentage be…

  • MFP had me at 1200 calories per day, and I was just too hungry. I changed my current activity level to "lightly active" from "sedentary" in my goals, it is now giving me 1400 calories per day which seems manageable to me. The BMR calculator here (http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/) gives me a much higher caloric…
