How to calculate body fat percentage
What is the best method to calculate body fat percentage at home (I no longer belong to the gym)? I used to own a body fat percentage scale but I’m not completely convinced it was accurate. I was going to buy skinfold calipers but not sure which brand to buy. That’s what they used at my old gym anyway. Any recommendations?…

Help figuring out new calorie goal
I need some individualized help. I had my settings at losing 1lb per week. MFP gave me 1220 calories per day. This was fine except I’ve been accurately weighing/logging for the last 10 weeks and overall averaging losing 1.6lbs. This was fine in the beginning when I was overweight but I’ve made it into the healthy BMI…

I’ve been on MFP for 70…

If I am within my goals…

Please no “mom’s spaghetti” jokes

I’m literally at a point in my life where it’s harder to admit my age than my impeding obesity. I’m hitting the one year postpartum mark, and it’s time for me to start focusing on…

Golds Gym Equipment Calorie/Weight
I used to know the answer to this but I own a Golds Gym stationary bicycle 390R (bought years ago from Walmart - so it’s cheap but efficient for a home calorie burn) and the machine doesn’t allow you to enter your weight but it does show calories - I’m wondering if anyone knows what weight the calories are based for this…
