Back At It
Hello everyone, I am a 25 year old looking to lose between 10-15 pounds plus get physically more fit. I was an active user about 3-4 years ago when I was able to lose 18 lbs and keep it off for a good while. Now the weight has finally caught back up to me so it's time to start tracking again. Looking for mutual support,…

Just exercise, no diet?
I'm currently at around 140-143 lbs with a height of about 5'6" I believe, maybe 5'6" & a half, I'm not entirely sure what my height is exactly. The last time I checked this was still in the 'normal' range for my height, on the higher end of the spectrum but still under normal. I've been trying to eat healthy and within…

Re-Introduction and looking for more support
Hi everyone! I've been a member of MFP for about a year and a half or so now. Last summer I managed to lose 18 pounds and get to my goal weight. Since then I've gained around 5 of it back. At this point my goal is not so much weight loss as it is to GET INTO SHAPE and stay in shape, as well as eat healthier just to feel…

Changing Activity Level When Moving Back to School?
The question is fairly straight forward, and I know it could go either way, I was just wondering what other people would do personally if they were in a similar situation. I have my activity level set at sedentary currently. When I move back to school, I will be either walking or riding my bike to and from class as well as…

Advice on Workout Scheduling?
Alright, so as of right now I do two workouts a day on average. I do the 30 Day Shred in the mornings, and then I do a power walk/partial jog (increasing the jogging portion, decreasing walking as I go along) in the evenings that takes around 40-45 minutes. Today my aunt brought over her Wii with the Zumba game for me to…

Can I still go on a walk and call it a rest day?
If I go on my regular 3 mile fast-paced walk, but I don't do the jogging I usually do during it, could I still count today as a rest day? I won't be doing my 30DS or the jogging.

Always confused, so much conflicting information
Alright, so I know there are millions of debates about whether or not to eat exercise calories. I personally believe in eating them, but I don't usually eat ALL of them to account for possible errors in calorie burn estimates, measuring estimates, etc. I do try to weigh and measure everything I eat and I use a HRM for…

Headache/Migraine After Light Jogging
So I've been speed/power walking for about a week or so. Yesterday I decided to step it up and I did some light jogging for part of my walk, probably somewhere around 1/4 of a mile out of a 3 mile walk. While I was jogging, my HRM said my heart rate got up to 210, and then took at least 10 minutes to get back under 200…

HRM vs MFP estimate question
So I read a lot of the time that you should go by what your HRM says about calories burned, because MFP often 'over' estimates. Well, I went on a 3 mile power walk one day, and MFP estimated the calorie burn at about 215-ish calories. The next time I did the same walk but I wore my HRM, and my HRM estimated the calorie…

Starting Fresh for the Summer
Well this isn't my first attempt at this, but I've moved back in with my parents for the summer and I'm going to give this another shot. I'm hoping a change of scenery may help me kick this off. At school I live with my boyfriend who is trying to gain weight/muscle, so it's more difficult when we eat meals together. I'm 21…

Mikes on the Rocks Calories?
My boyfriend came back from the grocery store with a new drink for me to try, Mikes on the Rocks Hurricane. It looks good, but it's a new product, and I can't find any nutritional/caloric values anywhere on the internet when I search for it. Has anybody found calorie values for this drink, or does anybody know where I can…

Not losing - due to weekends?
I've been trying to eat healthy for about a month or so now, and I haven't lost any weight. My ticker says I've lost 3 lbs, but I believe that is only because I bought my own scale and started weighing in the mornings instead of later in the day. I try very hard to stay under my calorie goal every day, but then I take it…

Starting again, looking for friends =]

I've never really had to significantly change my eating behaviors and now that I want to, I'm finding it extremely difficult. I'm 21 years old and a junior in college. Looking for any and all people who wish to add me as a friend! I will…

Migraine/Headache

However, they have gotten to the point that I can somewhat predict when they are going to occur. However, I have been dealing with a migraine that keeps coming back for the past 2 or 3 days now.

Basic Calorie Questions
So I just typed out a long post and it all got erased -_- Anyway - basically, MFP has told me that my calorie limit is 1310 calories per day in order to lose a pound a week. Recently I haven't had many opportunities to work out due to moving home for winter break and seeing friends/family, as well as not having the rec…

Newish
Hello all, I downloaded the app a couple weeks ago or so, but I just visited the website last night. I'm a junior in college and I have slowly been putting on weight since I started college in the fall of 2009. I'm still technically in a normal weight range but I have recently been feeling negatively about myself because…
