At Goal Weight- Noticing Belly Bulge
I'm 5'2 and after a year, I've lost 16 pounds and at my goal weight. In the spring, I decided to go pescatarian and I feel a lot better. The problem is I'm lazy about having food available in the house (I'm retired) and intermittent fast until about 1-2 pm in the afternoon. I'll have a healthy sandwich and sometimes eat…

Down to Goal-Yay!

Discrepancy in Calories
I find it frustrating to find the appropriate calories for foods when dining out- We usually go out to eat on the weekends and I try to plan ahead- but when I look for foods on MFP- the calories can be so wide varied For instance- I wanted a side of onion rings (yes- I know not a great choice but I try to fit them in) some…

Circuit
Hi All- yesterday I worked with a trainer for the first time :) . I did a circuit of exercises. I don't have a Fitbit or other devise to track calories burned- MFP says "General Circuit" for my weight and 60 minutes= 459 calories burned. How accurate is this? I'm considering buying a Fitbit- would this track these type of…

What is the truth?
Background: I've just started with MFP and have a goal of loosing 10 pounds. Although this doesn't seem like much- it has always been difficult to loose that. I'm 5'3" and started at 128.8. In two weeks I'm down to 126.6. My calorie goal is 1200 because you can't have less than that. That isn't difficult to maintain, if…

Putting it Together
I’m 59- 5’3”-126lbs....and although not extremely overweight (trying to get down to 118-120) I am definitely not fit. I joined the Y and have been doing cardio on the stationary bike but I seem to get exhausted after 30 minutes.... I usually do a yoga class right after. Is this common? Will I be able to do more? I just…

Getting Started
Hi all- I have decided to get more fit at 59 years old. Several years ago, I was using a Chis Powel DVD at home and I liked that it had 3 levels of exercise. I just joined the Y and realized how out of shape I have become- 20 minutes on a stationary bike and I was done. :( . What is the best way to increase my exercise and…

Calculating calories
Just started my journey to get fit and eat healthier. I’m 5’3” and weigh 128..... for me that’s about 10 lbs too much but more importantly I need to get more tone. I just joined the Y and was wondering how My Fitness Pal calculates calories. They say 1200 but will I loose weight using that calculation?
