Can't Lift Weights
I had an accident (got hit by a car on my bike) a month or so ago and injured my shoulder. It's getting better but it still hurts and I can't lift heavy weights without pain and so I stopped because I don't want to injure it further. I still bike to work, around 70km (43 miles) a day, so I get plenty of cardio but I'm a…

NSV: Loose pants and the borrowed belt
So this is not my first Non Scale Victory but it's the first one I want to post. I bike to work usually and this particular day I happened to forget my belt for when I change at work. I haven't purchased new pants since I lost over 40lbs (mostly changed belts) and not surprisingly my pants would NOT stay up without me…

Next steps...
So over the last 6 months I have lost over 50lbs (including before mfp). Today I entered my "healthy" range according to online calculators. I am 174lbs. Now I feel a lot better than I use to but I am still not happy. I have a belly still and I feel chubby. I'm not really sure what to do next, I don't know if I really want…

Is the belt accurate?
I purchased a new belt recently because my other ones became too big even after all the extra holes I punched in them. I purchased this belt so that I would be using the first hole thinking it would last me a long time but now I find myself to be on the second to last hole (there are 6 in total) and that's even starting to…

2 weights every time
Every time I weigh myself I do it 3 times in a row. The first time the number is always much higher than the second time and the third time the number matches the second time exactly. If I continue weighing the number will always remain at the second weigh in number. I like to tell myself that the second number is more…

Mirror VS Camera
Hey so whenever I look in the mirror recently I really like the way I look and I am happy about myself but when I try to take a picture I look horrible! I don't understand why I feel so different looking at myself in a picture compared to a mirror... which one is correct? Are either of them correct? How do people see me,…

Attraction
Hey so I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight and I've seen a lot of fat come off. I've been losing weight for myself so that I am healthy and because I love the way I look when I have a flat stomach and I can see muscle. I get excited when the pounds come off and I like to tell people. Recently I've talked to a few…

So many calories
Hey! So I read a lot of posts on here trying to educate myself as much as I can and I know that I am suppose to eat back my exercise calories but you see my problem is that there are too many. I bike to work and then back home every day and that's about 70 kilometres and according to my HRM burns about 2000 calories in…

new goal, is it possible?
Hey! I have come a long way and lost a lot of weight so far. I have about 14lbs left until I am not considered overweight any more so that's a really big deal for me. My birthday is May 25 and I am really hoping to achieve this goal by that time. I work out a lot and I am always making sure to eat enough calories in the…

Can't get high heartrate
Hey, I have used heart rate monitors off and on, usually I stop when they break somehow, but I recently purchased a polar FT7 and for some reason I can't get my heart rate to go over 150bpm no matter how hard I work. I'm doing the second month of insanity and I did see 160bpm for a brief second when I was skipping breaks…

Hey :)
I have always gone up and down in weight but I'm now living on my own, newly single, and I hate not having a flat stomach. I know that one day I will have a girlfriend again and even if she doesn't care, I want to look good for her! This time I'm cooking my own meals, working out daily, I bike to work, and I walk every day…
