Exercise calories - to eat back ALL or NOT to eat back all??
Walking to and from work to the station (just started this week) I am burning 406 calories alone... (wore my HRM to work out exact number). I am also trying to do JM's "Banish Fat Boost Metabolism" DVD, which burns just under 600 calories! I started the DVD Sunday night, did it again on Tuesday and I am planning on doing…

Problem using HRM whilst swimming....
HELP!! I need advice.... I took my Polar FT4 for my swim last night (first time used during a swim so I was quite excited at the results). To my annoyance though, every time I started swimming a lenghth of the pool my HRM was telling me my heart rate had dropped to between 40-45!! But when I stood up at the end of the…

I haven't lost any weight?? what am I doing wrong?
I've been on and off MFP for a while, but since the beginning of the year i have been taking it really seriously. Logging my food, ensuring I don't go over my calories, i'm doing the most exercise I think i have ever done in my life!!!! I don't own scales at home so I borrowed my parents scales (I don't like weighing…

Going to start Zumba classes.....(yay!)
I've heard so much about Zumba, even looked into classes in my area. This week I finally received the push that I needed to make me start going! A work colleague has just started the classes and I am actually jealous of her!!! How insane is that. So, i've looked it all up and there's two classes on a Monday night near me.…

Help!!! I would like a Heart Rate Monitor....
I would really like to invest in a heart rate monitor so I can accurately record how many calories I have burnt throughout the day. I generally use MFP's estimates from their database but i'm not sure these are always correct, so I would like my own device. Can anyone recommend any ?? (i'm in the UK). I would just like…

Does anyone have a sweet potato muffin recipe?
A while ago (and i'm kicking myself for not printing it and making it when I first saw it!) I saw a recipe for sweet potato muffins. I was telling my husband about them (who likes sweet potatoes but not as much as me) and he suggested we tried them out at the weekend. Trouble is, i can't find the recipe - can anyone…

I'm feeling really good about myself this morning. I may not be at my goal weight yet but i'm well on the way! Whats making me feel about myself today is that i realised something this weekend. I got up early yesterday morning to go for my usual Sunday morning swim, my husband came with me but he took the dog for a walk…

my very own happy dance this weekend!!
I thought i'd share with you all a minor success of mine I had at the weekend - well 2-3 actually! 1st - I usually swim at the weekends when I have more time, but I wasn't able to last week due to other commitments and a back injury. So, this weekend was the first time in a couple of weeks that i had put my swimming…

Anyone need to put on weight?
I am actually asking this question on behalf of my husband who, unlike myself, can NEVER put on any weight. He has a very high metabolic rate and a very active job (he's an assistant gardener on a very busy estate). We do try to feed him as much as we can but nothing works. He wants to start trying food supplements or meal…

Can't stop grazing today....
I am having SUCH an off day today, does anyone else get days where you just can't stop eating?!?! I'm still trying to eat healthily though but today i've pretty much used up all of my calories by lunchtime. Unless I exercise tonight - i won't have any left for dinner. I feel like I have really let myself down. I have lost…

Loving it so far.....
Hi there, I am delighted to have found MFP!! Only been on here for three days but i'm already hooked. I am desperate to shed the weight after getting married last year - I must say that marriage isn't good for the waste line! I have struggled with my weight all my life but have been MUCH bigger than I am before. But i feel…
