Onderland? Me?? Yes Ma'am!!! (w/pic)
It has been over 20 years since my weight has not begun with a 2, and up until 2 years ago, I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that Onederland was a place I would never see again. Suffice it to say, I didn't believe I had what it took to be anything but overweight. Man, was I wrong! Today after stepping on the…

Yesterday's high just came crashing down
I am 2.4 lbs away from my first mini goal of 13.2 lbs by September 30th and was feeling like it was still possible - UNTIL TODAY. Yesterday was such an awesome day for me in terms of exercise. I wear a HRM and seriously kicked @$$. I had a 1 hour session with my personal trainer and burned 1025 cals, I cleaned an office…

Need some advice RE: 30 Day Shred

Confused about exercise calories-can you help?
I have only been on MFP for a little over a week and am still learning so much, but there is something that still confuses me. I have been reading about "eating your workout calories" so does that mean that at the end of the day if you have worked out, you should eat your normal allotment AND the 500-600 calories burned at…

Trying not to let my excitement get the best of me (pics)
I am new to MFP and have yet to do my first weigh in, and I don't do patience very well sometimes. Prior to joining MFP, I lost 41 lbs, but settled into some bad habits and gained 10 back. I let myself get comfortable even though I knew I wanted to lose 50 more lbs. Thanks to a friend who has been tremendously successful…

Question about strength training?
I am just wondering-I do not have a body bug or anything, how do you keep track of calories burned from strength training. Once a week I see a personal trainer who does a full body workout with me for an hour. I also do strength training on my own too. I know I am burning calories, but not sure how that figures in to the…

I can see my problem already
Okay-if I am going to do this, I need to be brutally honest and need people to be brutally honest (but not mean please) with me too so I made my food diary public. I have lost 40lbs prior to joining MFP, but all I really changed was exercise habits. I did not fully commit to the dietary side of things. Now, after only 3…
