4.5 mph is not walking, it's running for a petite female.
It may be walking for a over 6 foot male but for a petite woman it is light running. I am 5'5 and take more steps than a taller person to keep up so wouldn't that mean I could run at a slower MPH than a man? It makes no sense to me that I have to run at 4.5 MPH but MFP claims I am walking. It's unfair really. I feel i am…

I have no idea what i should do for a workout routine.
I am 5'6 and 122 pounds with a body fat percentage or around 20 %. I can do the eating part very well but want an exercise routine to shed that last little bit of excess fat around the tummy and just tone up the entire body. I refuse to pay for a gym because it is over run by completely shallow people with fake tans and…

How to enter uphill biking
So they have many speeds for biking but what about going uphill? It tells me I burn 450 and hour by biking 12-14 MPH but you have to burn a lot more going up hill at the same speed.

65 pounds lost in a year.
When I began, a year ago, I was 190 lbs and now I am 125 ibs. I went from a u.s. size 14 to 4. I did all this my counting calories and being very active.

Is starvation mode a myth?
Of course if you haven't eaten in 48 hours it's (starvation mode) is obviously not a myth. .... But just eating less than 1,200 calories when your body is happy surely can't be starvation mode. Can it? I have only eaten 890 calories today and feel satisfied and full of energy. According to MFP, I should be in starvation…

Any fellow cooks/chefs here?
I am a cook and really like it but I find that it's one of the hardest jobs when trying to lose weight. It takes a lot of discipline to not eat what we cook. I am constantly around wonderful smelling food cooked and soaked in butter, pasta, heaven in the form of chocolate and cheesy awesomeness. Obviously this is not…

How many calories do you think sex burns?
Sex is always said to be great exercise but do you think it actually burns calories? It's not listed as an exercise here yet cleaning is. It makes little sense to be honest. I imaging thrusting can really work your abs and hips. If anyone is offended by this post due to their morals than tough. Sex is a part of life.

Hello, It's good to meet others in the same boat.

Since Then I enrolled in a culinary program and worked as much as possible in a kitchen. That was my downfall. I began eating fast-food and…
