Switched Scales. Does anyone have a brand they like/trust?
I bought a new scale because the old one kept giving me the exact same weight every time I used it down to the tenth of a pound. The one I am using now is a Homedics. It had good ratings so I thought I would try it and so far so good. At least it changes like it should. There is no way I weighed exactly the same every…

Cardio
I have been running for my cardio exercise. Looking for something new to do that is less stressful on my knees. Need to give them a break.

Slipping! Please help
I have been on this journey for 10 months now and have lost 35 pounds. The past couple weeks have been mentally draining and I have found myself giving in to food temptations quite often. I have put 3 pounds back on and find it really hard to motivate myself to go to the gym. Plus I now have a huge birthday cake in my…

Huge difference between calorie targets
So I was changing my goals on MFP and found that if I changed from a weight loss caloric intake to a maintenance caloric intake there was a huge difference. Like 800 to 900 calories a day. Has anyone else found this when changing goals?

Weight went up 3 pounds but waist dropped another pant size
Hey guys. I am kind of confused. I actually gained 3 lbs this past week which was disappointing but when I was at a store yesterday I tried on a couple different pairs of jeans a size smaller than what I normally wear and they fit! I am looking for reasons this could have happened. Any ideas?

Meal Replacement shakes

Cardio and weight training
How many others out there do both during your exercise routines? I have since I started my weight loss journey and it seems to be working out fine.

Trader Joes
It seems that a lot of people on here have an obsession with this place. What's with all the hype? I don't have one near me but it seems like the spot to be.

Benchmark
I have finally hit the 30 pound weight loss benchmark. Super excited. The last month has been a super slow as far as losing weight goes. I have about 12 more pounds to go to reach my goal. I guess the closer you get the harder it is to lose.

Difference between jogging and running
At what speed do you move from a jog to a run?

Pushed myself too hard
I think I may have over done the gym and cardio this week. I went farther than ever on my runs and upped my weights at the same time. Yesterday I felt like crap and barely slept last night. Feel really rough today. Has anyone else had this problem and what can I do to recover quicker? Thanks in advance.

Last 15 pounds
I lost the first 25 pounds in 3 months. But so far it has been a struggle to get the last 15 off. Haven't moved the scale in a month but still doing everything I am supposed to. Starting last week I cut 200 calories a day off my intake and I am adding a extra day of cardio from this week forward. Had a bad weekend and…

Stuck on same weight for awhile. Guess you would say I have plateaued. Need some advice.
OK. So I lost the first 25 pounds with steady progress each week. Now I have been stuck for over a month now with my weight fluctuating 1 to 3 pounds. What can I do to jump start my weight loss again? Do I need to cut major calories for awhile? Need some advice. Thanks

Does anyone else use Stur water enhancer?
I just recently discovered it and now I have no problem drinking enough water per day.

Sugar
Does going over on sugar but staying on deficit hinder weight loss?

Taking time off
I have been told that when you hit a plateau to maintain calories but take a week or so off from exercise. Does this rest period do anything to help kickstart weight loss again? I consistently log food and exercise but haven't lost anything in a month. In total so far I have lost 25 pounds of my 40 lb goal but can't seem…

Strained Calf Muscle
I recently strained a calf muscle while working around the farm. I tried to go for my jog yesterday and about a mile in the pain came back, hard. Looking for advice on how long I need to let it rest before running again and also alternatives for calorie burn that doesn't include the leg muscles.

Changes in diet
Just curious to know if anyone else has experienced an increase in gas and stomach issues when you first added salad and raw veggies to your diet.

Bored at the gym
Seems like I have hit a wall at the gym. I have been going for about 4 months now consistently. I think I have just gotten bored especially on the treadmill. I did change up my routine lifting routine yesterday and that seemed to help. Other than the treadmill what other types of fat burning cardio can you guys suggest?
-
Over estimating exercise calories
I'm not saying I disagree with you folks but I do find it odd that there are a million post or replies that say exercise calories burnt are overestimated. And it doesn't seem to matter where they come from they are all over estimated. Then there is the fact that there is no one way to accurately measure calorie burn. So if…

Does anyone else here have issues with anxiety/panic attacks
I had a panic attack on the treadmill today and it totally freaked me out. I take medication for it be still have the occasional attack. Today it just happened to be on the treadmill. Any support would be appreciated.

Some days harder than others
I have had a steady workout schedule for 3 months now. For some reason today seemed brutal. Does anyone else have these days even if it's the same workout?

Hiking vs walking
Why does MFP count so many more calories when you choose hiking instead of walking? If you are walking hilly terrain would that not be the same? After all hiking is just walking right?

Actual Calorie Burn
I know this has been discussed a hundred times but I am curious as to what others do. So I use 3 ways to track calorie burn. First is the UA Record app, The second is the treadmill counter and the third is MFP. It would seem to me that the treadmill which factors in heart rate, distance and incline would be the most…

New Tattoos and working out
Just got a new tat on Tuesday and my artist who I completely trust said I should wait a few days before working out. Due to the stretching it may slow down the healing process. I hate missing time at the gym but I love my tattoos! Has anyone else got this same advice? Looked on the net and the opinions are all over the…

Not sure which category this belongs in
Please tell me that I am not alone in thinking most people at the gym are disgusting. I constantly watch people use machines and just walk away. They don't clean up after themselves at all. I clean the machines before I use them just because of this revolting behavior. And I always clean the machines after I am done. I…

Looking for a really good beef jerky
