My turn for a dumb question...
Ok. So perhaps this is a silly question but I need to know the answer. Since mid-May, my only form of cardio had been walking. I began using a fitbit in early June. Last Sunday (8/4), I got daring and decided to try C25K. I was able to complete the first day, so I have vowed to finish the entire program. I got through all…

NSV - Someone noticed...
Hey everyone. I've had a few NSV's but this one made my day and I can't stop thinking about it! :happy: I haven't told many people about my mission to get fit (just my hubby and my BFF know). I've had co-workers tell me I am losing weight and looking great, but no one close to me had noticed as of yet. Until....last night!…

TDEE / BMR question
Just making sure I am using the correct setting when calculating BMR/TDEE. I usually exercise every day, walking anywhere from 45-90 mins per day (the higher walking is usually on Sat & Sun). I do strength training Tue, Thur, Sat. When calculating my numbers I have been using Moderate for my activity level. Should I leave…

A test of my patience....
So I just need to vent.... I have had success using MFP in the past. Last year between late August - late November I lost 25 lbs. I fell off the wagon (holidays, kids, work, etc) but am proud of myself for only gaining back THREE of those pounds from last year!!!!! In May, I renewed my committment to get fit and I have…

Do you all stick to one form of exercise or shake it up?
Hey everyone!! I have a question. I have been working out regularly for the last month or so. I have been either doing the elliptical or walking. I am considering starting C2K today. I started it a while ago but only finished week 1. Every other day I do strength training with my kettles or the weight machine in our…

What type of exercise has given you the best results?
Good morning everyone! I currently use and elliptical but I was given 30DS and Insanity for my birthday. Plan on using these as I lose a little more weight (down 8 so far). I am interested in running. I have C25K on my phone and am seriously considering trying this soon! Since I am just starting out, I would love to hear…

Let me see you results after 1 year!
Ok. So I made a deal with myself. I am making my final attempt to lose all the weight I need to lose (I want to finish what I have started so many times). I want to lose it all in one year and I am off to a good start; 7 lbs in 3 weeks. Those of you have been at this for a year or close to a year, show me some of your…

Insanity
Hey everyone, I have a question. I have been tracking my calories on MFP for about 3 weeks and exercising regularly on my ellipitical ( I am up to 40 mins a day). I have only lost 5-6 pounds (in 3 weeks). I was given a copy of Insanity and 30 Day Shred as birthday gifts. Am I being optimistic that this is something I could…

Trampoline question
I have a friend looking to do some cardio but he has a hip problem. He thought of getting a trampoline but most have a weight capacity of 300 and he is just under 340. Anyone over 300 lbs use a trampoline rated for 300 lbs? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Am I needing to change my cardio already?
Ok. So I have a question and need some advice. Last month, a co-worker gave me a 1 year gym membership. She won it and already had a membership and asked if I wanted it. Of course, how could I pass something like that up? I had been wanting to join a gym anyway and this just landed in my lap!! So I have been faithfully…

Newbie - but I think I finally got the net calorie thing!
Ok. So I have been trying to figure out this whole net calorie thing. It all came about because the week before last, I lost NOTHING and couldn't figure out why. My rational then was that I was under my calorie totals each day AND I burned more calories exercising and this should have produced a loss. But it didn't and…
