For those with HRMs
How close do you find MFPs database to what you show on your HRM? I just got one tonight and I'm afraid of being seriously disappointed.

Honestly not sure what I'm doing wrong
Ok, I joined MFP 20 days ago knowing I needed to get this weight down. We've had our last child (she's almost 4 months old now) and there's no excuses. I'm the first to admit I am not an exerciser. But I knew I had to be if I wanted this to work. So a week ago I started the 30 Day Shred. I've been really doing it - not…

Work through pain or rest?
Today should be day 3 of The 30 Day Shred for me. But I am a hurtin unit. And I don't mean just a little. All day today I had HUGE problems getting up and down from a seated position (made going to the bathroom interesting!) :laugh: I am walking like a broken duck no matter how hard I try to "act normal" and my abs/tris…

Feeling pretty discouraged today.
I'm having a bummed out day today. I've been inside my cals everyday but once since I started MFP a few weeks ago. I also started the 30 Day Shred two nights ago. Jillian claims you can lose "up to" 20lbs in a month (yes I know that means one person somewhere on some planet once lost 20lbs) but it gave me something to…

How do you record your Shred sessions?
I'm sure this has been asked before ad nauseum but I couldn't find it. How do you record your 30 Day Shred workouts in the exercise tracker?

Starting 30 Day Shred - Advice? Tips? Comments?
Ok - the girl who hates all things exercise is starting the 30 Day Shred tomorrow. Everyone seems to rave about it. Anyone want to share tips, tricks, or thoughts in general??

How much water do you drink.... really?
Ok so all of us strive for our 8 glasses. But that is 64oz of water and for me, getting down 32oz during a workday is a challenge. I've also heard that recently major medical journals are accepting that you "no longer" need to count coffee against your water intake (i.e. a cup of coffee can count as a cup of water). That…

Yes, I hate it... now what?
Ok, so I fully admit: I hate (HATE) exercise. I have yet to find one thing I enjoy short of yoga classes I used to take at a local gym. (And I've tried MANY different things) But now with 2 kids under 3 y.o there is no way I can get out of the house and to a gym (and no money to join a gym for that matter). Yes, I know…

How to add day spent at Amusement Park??
Our family spent about 4 hours today at an amusement park. To offset the small bite of funnel cake ;) how do I track the calories for this "event" in my exercise? Its certainly much more energy spent than most days at my desk job (and most of it done carrying around 30lbs of 3-year-old) :laugh: Any ideas? I don't want to…

So what's the "rule" on caffeine?
Ok - so I know caffeine boosts your heart rate and metabolism. I also know there are studies which show ingesting caffeine right before a workout can increase the efficiency of your workout. Buuuut (there's always a but) caffeine is also a diuretic and thus pulls water out of the body. That can lead to water retention and…

Oh Size 6 Where Art Thou?
Hi everyone! I'm new - just started this week. I'm a mom of two great little girls, ages 3 years and 3 months! I'm trying to get this left over baby weight off (same old story huh??) and a fellow mommy friend turned me on to this place (thanks Leah!). I am loving the site so far! Growing up I was a skinny minny (actually…
