If you set up MFP right to start with then the daily calorie goal that MFP gives you already has a calorie deficit built in to lose weight. That said, you should eat close to the calorie goal MFP gives you each day including eating back most of your exercise calories. Depending on how far under the daily calorie goal you…

The protein goal that MFP give is generally quite low. A good rule of thumb is to shoot for .5 to 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body weight.

Well, if you want us to be honest... Absolutely! I think it is quite noticeable and obvious in your face. It is hard to tell other than your face because of the difference in the way the pictures were taken. Great job! Keep it up.

Excellent! Don't you just love these little, or not so little, discoveries that show how much progress you have made.

Wacky!

The rule is to run and walk against traffic. I do sometimes switch sides as reddcat said based on sidewalks, blind corners, crests of hills and such. In the town I grew up in a couple of high school kids walking with traffic were killed by a drunk driver. It is likely that if they had been facing traffic they would have…

The sound of silence...No really, there is only silence in my head... :smile:

It will not help directly with the weight loss but it may help those that hit a weight plateau and are trying to figure out what is going on. If they understand the relationship between weight, fat and muscle than they can look at other indicators of progress beyond the scale such as measurements and clothing fit.

The pull-up bar is used a fair amount. Resistance bands can be used although I feel that the pull-up bar is a better choice. The type of pull-up bar that hooks over the top of the door frame may not work with your door style but maybe a straight bar that just goes from one side to the other will work instead. A straight…

I use my HRM that gives a calorie burn estimate when I do resistance work. I generally push myself pretty hard and have my heart rate around 130-140 during strength training. I feel it is quite accurate based on heart rate and perceived exertion.

I run 5K, mountain bike, lift weights, P90X, Insanity, hike, I'm in the best shape of my life. I count my walks as exercise. I usually do about a half hour at 4 MPH. I record my walks if they are in addition to my normal daily activity but I would not record walking around at a amusement park or something along those lines.

I realize that it is not the question you asked but if your food log is accurate then you are eating way too few calories and it is likely the reason you have stalled.

You shouldn't have to "figure out" how many calories to net. Plug in your starting weight, plug in your goal weight, plug in how much weight you want to lose a week (this should be 1 pound), plug in your normal daily activity level. Every day enter your food intake and exercise. Take in enough calories so that your daily…

Sounds interesting! I'll have to give it a try.

My breakfast almost every morning is: A serving of old fashioned oatmeal made with water (5 minutes at 50% power in the microwave) After cooking add: some cinnamon a little milk to desired consistency a scoop of vanilla protein a quarter cup blueberries (I use Wyman's of Maine - Fresh Frozen Wild Blueberries because they…

I just do my workout and let my heart rate do what it wants. That said, I tend to push myself fairly hard so my heart rate stays quite high.

Outstanding!! Congratulations!

I was shooting for 10%BF. My meter now averages about that, sometimes above sometimes below. Now I am working to add more muscle mass.

I create my own entry and enter my time and calorie burn from my HRM. For instance today I entered "P90X - Ab Ripper X, Shoulders & Arms" then entered the data.

"Boobies"! That's a completely different story...:love: :tongue:

Nope! Not all men. Sounds pretty immature to me...

How much do you have MFP set to lose a week? 1 pound per week is the recommended setting and it is the rate that almost all healthcare professionals suggest. At one pound per week your daily calorie deficit is 500. At 2 pounds it is 1000. Most people have a far easier time sticking to a 500 calorie a day deficit. At 1000…

Just eat any healthy food as you would any other time. Some people have trouble "eating back" their calories at the end of the day. I generally have my meals and exercise for the day planned in the morning or the night before. This way I know approximately what my exercise calorie burn will be and I plan my meals through…

I believe you need to eat closer to the calorie goal MFP gives you each day.

That said, you should eat close to the calorie goal MFP gives you each day including eating back most of…

I use an HTC Thunderbolt which is Android based. I don't remember having to agree to anything but I may have. I use the app every day and love it.
