Barre results
I just want to tell everyone, try barre classes!! I've been doing them 4 times a week for about 3 months now, and the results are just incredible. I look like I've had a butt lift, it's gone from saggy to really pert. My abs are defined, my whole body feels really toned. I started with Barre3, switched to Suzanne Bowen,…

Fatter At A Lower Weight
Has anyone else found that they look fatter at the same, or a lower weight than they were in the past? A few years ago I got down to 159lbs, by running and eating vegan (definitely not low fat though). I looked very slim at that weight, no flab or a lot of cellulite. Then I gained it all back. Now I'm down to 152lbs (I'm…

Strength training instead of cardio
Okay, so I've joined a gym, to do strength training more seriously than I was doing at home. And I've cut one cardio session to make more time for strength - so I'm doing three of each a week. But I'm panicking. I'm used to killing it on my bike or running, and I feel like I've traded down, because although I'm working…

Calories correct?
My calorie recommendation is currently 1530 calories - I weigh 149lbs and my goal is 140, I've selected not very active and 0.5lbs loss a week. It seems pretty high to me - another website calculates my BMR at 1440 calories a day?

Calories burned MFP Vs. Map My Run
I've recently started using the Map My Run app, but the difference in calories burned is pretty big, compared to the same exercise inputted in MFP. Take today, for instance. I ran for 66 minutes, at an average speed of 11.10 min per mile. I weigh 150lb. Map My Run said I burned 815 calories. If I input it manually into…

This isn't working for me.......
I realise that this is going to sound very controversial, but since I've started tracking my calories with MFP, I haven't lost an ounce. Up to this point I was losing 0.5-1lb a week. I think I'm eating more than I was when I was just listening to my body. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Self defeating mindset
Okay, I know I can't be the only one battling a constant voice in their head, telling them "you can't do this". Mine never goes away. It's loudest before I start my workout, but chatters all the way through it too. I don't give in, but I KNOW if I had more self belief I could push myself harder. My body is much stronger…

Walking calories discrepancy
I've just used my Fitbit Charge 2 for the first time, synced it with mfp, but the results seem completely wrong to me. I walked 3 miles in 1 hr, a lot of which was hills. The Fitbit data when synced to mfp said I'd burned 109 cal. That doesn't seem much! I'm 152lbs. I think it based it purely on steps, not heart rate (I…

Women Over 40
I'm sure you've all heard the famous Cybil Shepherd quote, "when you're over 40 you have to choose between your face and your butt" (well, she didn't say butt!). Do you think it's true? At 5'10" and 152 lbs, my BMI is 22. Clothed, I'm happy with how I look. Unclothed, I can see a good way to go still. My legs & hips…
