Turbo Jam Calories Burned?
So I did TJ Cardio Party (1) today and I LOVED it! I didn't really start feeling a burn until about 10 min in (and I only did it for 30 minutes, baby woke up) Anyways, on the exercise tracker it says for my weight I burned 250 calories. That just seems ridiculous though. I did sweat and had my HR up the whole time, but 250…
I want some real friends
I know this is a dull topic, and I am unsure where to post (seeing a few other people look for friends here and in other forums) but in all serious it is true. I want some real friends who actually will message me and keep in contact. Hell, I wouldn't even mind having someone to text throughout the day when I am getting a…
Can't stop eating
Title says it all. I don't know what is up with me. I reached my goal weight back in December, and have slowly been gaining weight ever since. I have gained 10lbs and gone up a jean size. I exercise like crazy (training for a marathon) and in great shape, but I am starting to get fluffy and it is all because I am for some…
Would love chatty mom friends to help keep me motivated!
Hiya! I am new to the social aspect of MFP but have been using the application on my phone for some time now. I would love to have some Mom friends who I can relate to about losing those pesky PP pounds. I am really chatty, so I would love to have someone to chat with! Not just post on my status! Two weeks ago I moved to…

Anyone in the Goose Creek area on the search for a look out buddy? I would love to find one! I am a runner, and will be joining a gym soon (Either ESAC off of St James or Select Fitness in N Chas.
HRM or MFP for running results?
I know people always ask which is better, HRM w/ chest strap (I use bradenwm calculator) or MFP. MFP is usually always right on track with everything. When I run 30 minutes, it does pretty good estimating what my HRM said for 30 minutes. But when I run long runs (Hour long outdoor runs) MFP says I only burned 400 where my…
Using a HRM while doing very long exercise activities? (Skii
I am curious to see how many calories I burn while skiing. I don't really trust the generator on MFP because about half of the time I ski I am sitting on a ski lift going up the mountain (Plus some days I ski I can tell I push harder and some days I see I am a little lazier). Do you think my HRM would work if I kept it…
My arms are not getting any stronger?
I have been taking the same barre pilates class for 3 months now. My legs and core are in amazing shape and very toned. I can see I am doing the exercises much better and much more without needing to stop. BUT during the 15 min of arm exercises I still have to stop 100 times. I see other people do better/more reps than me…
How much is "too little" net cals?
I am trying to lose 1lbs a week. I am currently breastfeeding (my supply seems to be fine and baby is gaining weight correctly) but my net cals keeps being under 1000. I know that I shouldn't be going under 1200 but then that means I can't lose a lbs a week since if I go -500 I am under 1200. Should I up my intake? I don't…
I have an addiction to ice cream
The title basically says it. For the past few months I have had a serious craving for ice cream and tums (more than anything I ever craved when I was pregnant, and trust me, thats saying something!) I have been getting it about two to three times a week for a while now. I am done doing that, because even though I am not…
How quick can you lose muscle if you don't work out?
I have been doing barre pilates for over a month now three times a week. I have gotten a great core and muscles BUT this past week has just been packed and I couldn't go. (They only have the class once a day three times a week and I missed them all due to random things) There is no excuse why I have not done any exercise…
How much is "too little" net calories?
I am trying to lose 1lbs a week. I am currently breastfeeding (my supply seems to be fine and baby is gaining weight correctly) but my net cals keeps being under 1000 (300cals for Bfing and 400 for working out). I know that I shouldn't be going under 1200 but then that means I can't lose a lbs a week since if I go -500 I…
So what happens when you reach your goal weight?
So after you get to a certain size - how do you maintain it? I am reading that when I am my goal weight I naturally burn 1500 calories a day. Even if I ran 30min a day (to burn 200 cals) that is still only 1700 I can eat without gaining weight! Is that really the only way to keep the weight off once you reach your goal? It…
Low calorie slow cooker recipes?
Does anyone have any slow cooker recipes they can share that is healthy and low in calories? I love using my crock pot but lately I haven't been able to use it because the recipes always seem to be so fattening. Thanks Oops sorry I just realized there is a recipe section! Please don't respond.
My before and after pics - 16lbs down
I am so proud to flaunt this body. As a new mom I hope I can inspire other new moms to work out. I know its easy to feel tired and busy but you can find the time if you want to! I weighed about 125/7 pre-preg, and now I am down to 107 (I weigh 111 today though, just celebrated my bday over the weekend haha) I thank 30DS…
Aerobics/barre before or after cardio? Also, when do you eat
I am going to the gym and I have a 2.5hr window that I am able to work out (while my son is being watched in the nursery) I want to do a work out class (skinny jeans barre, which is sort of like ballet?) it is an hour long. But I am unsure as to whether I should do 30 minute jog before or after (and 20 minutes leasurely…
What is a good price for gym membership?
For about $35.99/month (3 month student contract +$25) I get to use all of the gym facilities, have my son watched in the nursery for up to 2 hours, and do all the classes. Is that too much? Should I keep looking? What is the average amount of money you usually have to pay for membership?
kcal to calories?
Exactly how many kcal is in a calorie? I am looking at this cod we have and it says it is 84kcal. How many calories is that?
I HRM or MFP more accurate?
I have a heart rate monitor but it doesn't tell me how many calories I burned. It will only tell me my average heart rate and how long I worked out. When I use a HRM calculator to find calories burned it says I burned nearly 100 calories more than what MFP says. So what is more accurate from your experience?
Gained over 8lbs in 3 days?
The last I weighed myself was a few days ago. I weighed 108.5ish. Those past couple of nights I have been eating too much. I think I have eaten about an extra 1000 calories a day. And don't even let me get started on the drinking! Tonight when I weighed myself I weighed 117lbs. Anyways, I was wondering... have I already…
Calculating calories burned using HRM?
So I keep hearing everyone uses HRM to see how much they actually burn. I have googled HRM calculator and there is only one. I am hoping there is some other ones I can use to see how accurate it really is. So how do you all use your HRM to find out how many calories you really burn during a work out session?
Will I still build muscle if I strength train every other da
Hi! So I use the 30DS as sort of "strength training" for me. I am still new to building muscle, so it is perfect for the time being. I did it for a little over a month 5 days a week and have built muscles in my legs, arms, and even in my stomach! I was wondering if it is OK for me to slow down and only do it every other…
Cramping pain in ribs?
Whenever I do cardio (running or kickboxing even) there are times, more than not, I have to stop because I have a stabbing pain right under my ribs when I should only be stopping because I am tired. I have been having this issue for as long as I can remember, even when I was a child. How do I stop this from happening? I…
Does water with cyrstal light sugar flavor count towards you
So I am really bad at just drinking water. I try really hard but I usually have to flavor it with a lemon or with those crystal light sugar packets (the 20calorie ones) I only limit myself to one bottle of the sugar ones a day, but can I still count that as an intake of water?
Breastfeeding moms who work out: please help!
When I was pregnant I weighed 130lbs at my 40 week appointment. Four weeks PP I weighed 114. Recently, after a little over a month of working out I weighed 111. Unfortunately I have gained some of my weight back. Night time I weigh 114 but in the morning I weigh 111. Anyways, I see on days that I work out my milk supply is…
