Motivation from MFP Friends...
Just a quick question.. does anyone else find that lack of support/comments from other MFP friends is actually demotivating? I know when I've done a big workout burn, or had a good day food-wise and been under, it kind of demotivates me that of the 20+ "friends" I have I usually get one or two comments, and sometimes none…

Thyroid problems
Hi My doctor has informed me that I have a "thyroid imbalance", but hasn't recommended anything apart from another (yes another..<sigh>) blood test in a couple of months. My PT has told me that this may be the reason why my weight loss isn't what it should be (in my opinion) and also why I feel more tired than usual. Does…

Exercising music
Does anyone else do things like Spin/Body Pump/Combat etc and find the music REALLY dull? I've just pumped my way through a class - I thought the aim of exercising to music was that it was supposed to pump you up - this was dire. Too much of that techno/disco pop nonsense - we're not 12 you know. I just wondered how…

Burning calorie calculations
There seems to be a load of different ways to work out calorie burn, I found this on a weight loss resource site and am curious to how it compares with what people put on their log:- 10 Ways to Burn 200 Calories We all know we should probably do a bit more exercise than we do already, but it’s often hard to judge how much…

Exercising to music - it works! (apparently)
Found this post on the BBC website, wondered what others thought of it? "Music has helped elite tri-athletes in Australia increase their endurance by 15%, researchers say. Synchronous music, where stride length is matched to musical tempo, can have metronomic effects on the body by allowing athletes to run for longer, they…

Music for workouts
Hi I was wondering how everyone else works out, personally unless I'm in a class then I can't work out without music, and it has to be the "right" music, i.e loud and pretty fast! The one thing I don't like about classes such as Body Pump/Attack/Combat is that the music they use generally sucks, and if I hear one more…

New and looking for friends!
Hi all I'm Jamie, I'm 48 and have been overweight since, well, forever I guess! I've tried various things in the past and had some success but I want to finish the job I started, which is to get below 200 pounds - at the moment I'm about 240 but have been as high as 300 (give or take...!) I lost about 40 pounds over the…
