Scale Question
Not sure if this is the right board to post on, but... Just got a new digital scale. However, it doesn't read the same as my old one. But only with a human on it. I checked it with a 15lb dumbbell - they both read the same - but the new one is consistently 0.7lbs lighter with a person. Had my husband try it this morning…

How often do you reset your goals?
I've been faithfully logging here for 39 days! My longest streak ever here on MFP, and as a result of my weighing & logging, I'm down 7.2 pounds in those 39 days. I got curious earlier and checked my goals. MFP has my current weight from Monday's weigh-in, and when I clicked the get started button, it lowered my daily…

Clothing sizes...ugh!
This didn't seem to fit any other category, and it's more a complaint than anything, but....this is probably going to resonate more-so with the ladies of MFP, but clothing sizes suck! Between my closet & dresser, the clothes that I can comfortably wear are anywhere from a size 10 to a size 17. My tops range from Medium to…

Weighing food - oz vs g
I've been using the oz setting on my food scale, but I just wondered if there was a recommendation between either oz or grams. I don't have a preference, just wondering if one was recommended over the other, or if they're both fine so long as you're weighing & logging.

Weight Flucuations
So I've been logging on MFP for 30 days now (breakfast only on Easter, too many recipes I didn't make to log). I've been tracking my weight daily since the 15th on a spreadsheet (with a graph!) to see the trend. I only update it on MFP on Tuesdays since I started on a Tuesday. I've noticed that for the last 2 weeks, I…

Hunger after cardio?
Am I the only one who is STARVING after cardio, but not strength? Did an hour on the treadmill earlier, wasn't hungry before (made myself eat some eggs & green tea to have energy to run) but absolutely starving afterwards. I can lift for an hour and not be hungry after though. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing…

To weigh or not to weigh?
So I had an epiphany. I think. At least for me maybe. I know when I'm counting calories/exercising that I tend to weigh myself A LOT more than usual. To the point that it kind of becomes obsessive. And I also tend to get really happy on the days it goes down. And really discouraged when it goes up, or stays the same. I…

Bodybuilding.com Training Plans
Does anyone have any experience with the bodybuilding.com training plans? I have been running regularly (at least 4x a week) and using the weight machines at my gym about 3x a week. I'm looking for something for different, something that tells me exactly what to do & how often to do it since I'm kinda making it up as I go…
