My eating habits haven't changed just because i started it logging to MFP.

Execersising: Walking on treadmill with sticks (crosswalk) for anywhere between 60 to 90 min (3-5 miles). Actually my treadmill estimates calorie burn double then MFP gives me. I figured that treadmill readings are too good to be true. I include my gardening in exercising since it is not my usual activity. I help set up…

I am counting my calories with help of MFP. Since I prefer to cook my meals at home so it is quite hard to know how much exactly calories are there. I try to find equivalent in MFP and log it. In general I cook lots of things in oven with no fats added (no butter or oil), just it its own juice. I eat steamed food too. And…

Thanks!!! Nice to know that someone understands what I am going through without being judgmental about my desperate measures :) Personally I blame few things in US for my weight gain. Meat - animal growth hormones, antibiotics. Then sugar. I don't specify it as HFCS. Just general sugar. Everything is so unexpectedly sweet…

Well, thanks everybody for advice to eat right and exercise... Been there done that!!! Just weight not coming off despite all effort. I am skeptic too as far as magic pills... In fact I was quite sarcastic calling them 'magic'. I tried it since other methods (eat right and exercise) never made a difference... Desperate…

Thanks, will definitively check it out!

Well in my defense, I realized that gardening is very general definition, that might be anything from digging beds, till trimming shrubs. That is why since I am not digging I logged in MFP less time gardening then I actually did. And as well, I think that this activity should be worth some calories, since other way I would…

I have been on very much the same food-exercise routine for 5 weeks now. I joined MFP just few days ago so my food diary is a bit shy.

Thanks, I might have to do so... Maybe that will solve my mystery.

jsuaccounting: Love the idea! You know I honestly hate exercise... :)

I have been exercising for 5 week now. 6 days a week with Sunday off. Before that very passive daily routine. My daily exercise is usually done on treadmill with cross walk feature. Actually treadmill estimates even higher calorie burn then MFP. Almost double what MFP gives me. But generally what I do is walk 4-5 miles…

Well, pretty much same problems here! I been on cardio exercise for little over a month now. At least 90 minutes daily with Sunday off + gardening for 2 or so hours a day. Unfortunately scale not moving. Not even 1 pound. I haven't took measurements, but I don't feel any changes on how clothes fit. Well maybe just my lower…
