Is coffee good/bad for you?
I love coffee and I drink it on a regular basis. I drink it black with no sugar or sweeteners. The calories for it on mfp are so negligible (5) that i dont even track it in my diary. I have been doing this for years and have always assumed it was pretty much the same as water. Someone told me recently that it does have a…

Hit my first goal.
Yesterday I hit my first goal which was to drop below 300. My reward was to buy some new clothes for myself. Not a lot just a couple pairs of pants and a shirt. I was able to drop from a 4x shirt and pants to a 2x in both. Its a good feeling to have dropped the sizes and I know that the clothes look better on me than the…

Goal Weight
Someone asked me what my goal weight was today. My completely serious answer was that I want to be so thin my bones are sticking out, and even then I wont be happy with my weight. I already plan on not being happy even when I (over)reach my goal weight. Has anyone else gone through this? Will I feel differently when i get…

so far to go
i have been working at this for several months now and have made a lot of progress but i still have a lot more to go. Even though i feel better and look better i woke up this morning with a huge case of the why bothers. If I can still somehow maintain the same rate of loss as i have been, about 4 lbs per week, which i hear…

heart rate monitors
I keep reading that i should get a heart rate monitor to help more accurately judge how much im getting out of exercising. Is this really neccessary to have and if so is there any out there that are recommended? Preferably less than a hundred but if there one that is just a must have than i would consider paying more.…

Is this exercise bad for me?
i recently purchased an airdyne in order to help with calorie loss and some formation of muscle. Since the purchase (about 2 weeks) i have used it everyday. I do high intensity training (without a heart monitor though). I started at about 2 minutes low 15 seconds high and have progressed to about 45-60 seconds low and…

First person to notice
Today I had a cute girl at my job notice that i was losing weight. I've lost about 60 pounds in the past six months or so and about 30 since i started on mfp. She was the first person to say something to me that didnt know i was working at it. It felt nice to have someone notice. I also wore a shirt today that i really…

calorie burn during high intensity training
I have been doing HIT training on an airdyne for the past week because I read that it would increase my overall calorie burn. I noticed though that I'm burning less calories during my sessions than i was when i was just working out at a moderate pace. Even though ive read that this will help me lose more weight im…

calories burned on equipment vs website
I recently purchased an airdyne and have been using it to exercise. It has a calorie burned counter that I use when I enter my numbers for my exercise. The nearest equivalent on this website shows that even at a slow pace the number it comes up with is almost twice what the airdyne shows. Does anyone know what number is…

Recent Purchase of Airdyne
I recently purchased myself a schwinn airdyne to help with my weightloss goals. I dont know if anyone else has used one of these but i love the fact that I can work out my upper and lower body at the same time. I've been watching what I eat like a hawk and have managed to stay within my goals every day with the exception…
