hopeful to discourage back to hopeful...I hope :)
A year and a half ago I joined MFP and soared to new levels I've never new I could do before.

At 6'4" and 175 lbs he had no worries. Then I…

Is there anything you don't log???
If I'm hungry or just needing a lil something, I'll have an extra ice coffee during the course of the day but for whatever reason I never log it. I usually have cals to spare so I don't know why....weird, right? You?

newbie weight lifter...need advice please :)
On top of my 45-60 mins of cardio, I just started adding weights to my work out at the gym. I've been working on abs everyday and then working on a different body part, such as legs, biceps, or triceps & deltoids. Does this sound about right or can/should I be doing more.

Calories burn via HRM question....please help :)
I'm the new owner of a hrm thanks to Christmas. I love it and have been using it but I'm a bit confused.

My heart rate and sweat from doing the…

Would love some input on calorie intake...
Hey y'all! I started using MFP regularly in July. I figured at my starting weight of 315 lbs (UGH) I had a BMR of 2166, once I figured that I needed 2787 calories to maintain my weight with activity I set a limit of 1740 calories here on MFP to deduct 1000 cals a day right off the bat in hopes of losing 2 lbs a week. I am…

Cheat days....
I see people post this a lot and was wondering what y'all consider a cheat day. Is it a day where you don't keep track of calories and have whatever you want or you keep track but go over in calories or maybe it's just a lil something you've been craving to get it out of your system?? Do you feel comfortable with a cheat…

anyone follow a low or no refined sugar/white flour diet?
Hi! I've been talking to a friend of mine and he's told me that he follows this such diet. I have never given much thought to it, but he says that after about a 7-10 day period he experienced what he describes as "the fog lifting" and having much more clarity. He abstains from alcohol, bread(of any kind, even bread crumbs)…
