That is frustrating! As I began reading your post - the first thing I thought of was not inputting your age and weight...but looks like you did that. Is there anyway it stopped and started again. I know with mine, you have to hold the RESET button several seconds. So I doubt that would ever happen to me. I have a Timex…

I would say it depends on two things: where you are on your "health journey" and your will power. If you're just starting out with a life style change, it might not be a good idea to cheat. Or if you have low will power, a cheat day might turn into a cheat week :) I'm very close to my goal, so I cheat on weekends. In the…

I drink at least one protein shake a day (sometimes two). I weigh 170lbs and try to take in at least 120 grams of protein a day. I know this sounds like a lot, but I'm trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time (which can be hard to do for some). In the past when I would try to lose fat, I would end up losing…

The Ahi Tuna at BoneFish has only 276 calories, and is loaded with protein. Or as others have suggested...go anywhere you like, but just eat a small portion, or split it with your boyfriend. My wife and I split meals all of the time.

I agree with the "all things in moderation" philosophy. I haven't totally given up anything, although I've had to cut back on a lot of the microbrew beers that I've grown to love. Many have over 300 calories. I never thought I'd become a lite beer guy...but it's worth it.

I list my weight lifting under the Cardiovascular section on MFP. I use the following entry: "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" It automatically calculates my calories based on the number of minutes I enter. I think it's probably underestimating the calories, but that's OK...as long as it's close. And…

most come with chest straps. there's also a watch that you can just touch your finger to, and it will give you your heart rate. But to me, that's not much better than just sticking your finger on your neck every once and a while.

Don't buy it. If it's not in the house, you won't eat it. Or give you're self one day to cheat (guilt free) and eat your comfort food. If you're thinking long-term, a day of "cheating" once a week won't make a huge difference.

I work out (and shower) most days during lunch. The gym is right across the street from my office. I think it's a great way to break up the day. Work about 4 hours....go to the gym for about 90 minutes...work another 4 hours...done for the day!

I eat Kashi as well. It's listed as: "Kashi - Go Lean (Naturally Sweetened Fiber Twigs, Soy Protein Grahams and Honey Puff), 1 Cup (52g/1.8 oz.) " in the food database. With a cup of skim milk...that's 21 grams of protein. This is a great discussion thread. Lots of great ideas for protien @ breakfast time.

I love MFP, but I do think the website underestimates the amount of protein you need in a day. Especially if you lift weights and are trying to maintain/build muscle while losing weight. MFP has my protein goal for each day at 60 grams. I usually try to at least double that (120 g). This hasn't caused any problems. I've…

I spent many years doing only weight training. I was very happy with the muscle I packed on, but still had a layer of fat. I think now that I'm watching my diet and incorporating some cardio (about 30 minutes at least 4 times a week)...I'll be even happier with the results. I agree with most everyone who has posted in…
