Favorite breakfast shake / meal replacements?
So one reason I fail is because my plan always calls for me to FIX something for breakfast and lunch. I don't do that - I am just too busy trying to get out of the house and then I normally have to work through lunch so there is no time. When I was most successful in my weight loss journey it was when I was doing a weight…

FITBIT -- Am I doing this correctly?
So I joined my Fitbit account and my MFP account - step one - woo hoo. I am only logging food and exercise on the MFP page right? Steps will be logged from Fitbit page.. 1.) One thing that I noticed. On MFP my calorie goal is like 2000. On FitBit website it's 1700. Is that going to mess anything up - do I need to get them…

Any APP that will lead me through workout at gym?
I can't afford a trainer BUT would love an app that you start when you arrive and it tells you to jump on the treadmills of 15 minutes. Now move to elypitcal for 15 minutes. Now let's work on some upper body movements and outlines those workouts and times you and lets you know when to move on. ANYTHING LIKE THAT OUT THERE?

Best places for free or cheap excercise videos?

Anyone tried FOCUS T25? What are other great videos?
ANYONE TRIED FOCUS T25? Can a beginner handle it (someone who can't do pushups, mountain climbers, etc yet)? What other videos, sites, etc would you recommend. I am thinking maybe I put a TV in my garage and just do a 20-30 minute workout video every night instead of trying to do a gym or something more structured. I feel…

EXCITED - Whole Family is Starting Monday!
We are very excited - on Monday my finance and I start a fitness plan together. She is small (105 pounds when we started dating). Because of my bad eating habits she is now 1301-135 and showing a lot of belly fat. I feel horrible and she does blame it on my habits and I agree. Before we met she was active every day and now…

Training for something to keep on track - IDEAS?
So a lot of websites suggest instead of setting a weight loss goal try to set a goal to compete in something. Sign up, pay the fee, tell everyone you'll be competing to make sure you stick with plan. Most of the websites suggest a 5K. I doubt I will ever run a 5K with my knees and weight and smoking so I need another idea.…

Want a huge meal that won't destroy my healthy plan!?

Cookbook Suggestions (with shopping lists, weekly menus)
So I found this awesome cookbook with recipes for a whole week of meals, the shopping list to cook those, and nutritional info for each meal. However it's a quick meal guide (10 minute meals) so lots of cans of this and bottles of this - rather than fresh stuff. Each meal also seems to have 10,000 ingredients which I hate.…

HELP - looking for program that can do grocery lists!?
So I love weight Watchers for the points - I lost 40 pounds using it last year and loved it. Problem is that they don't have hardly any food items compared to MFP. The barcode scanner is also a seperate app - stupid. So I switched to MFP a while back and it worked for a while - trying to get back on track right now. One…

Why should I use a heart rate monitor????
So I was about to buy a $70 heart rate monitor because some said that was more important than a scale. Now I am thinking - how is a heart rate monitor going to help. I already log my workouts on MFP.
