Thoughts for next week
Hey Folks, I wanted to throw out a couple of ideas to out band of merry burners: This group is all about support and motivation, not competition. It occurred to me that having a group goal, like burning 4000 calories in a week, might exclude someone who wants to burn 6000 in a week, or 250. So, I'm suggesting we state our…

Workout Efficiency – Which works?! (repost after crash)
Hi everyone, First, some history: I started MFP in January, and quickly worked myself to burn over 1200 calories a day, and I was limiting my intake to 1300. I lost 40 pounds in three months. I realized I was starving myself, and adjusted my intake to the recommended 15-1600 using the MFP wizard, and factoring in the…

I started MF in January, and I’ve been quite disciplined and successful so far. I tend to be a bit of a loner, and only accountable to myself in this process. I’ve been limiting myself to…

Do any of you know of workout routines for the elliptical that will continue to challenge me, that isn't working out 120 minutes, or…
