is there such a thing as the type of body that doesn't tone?
so -- I do quite a bit of exercise -- cardio 5-6 days per week and what I call circuit training 2-3 times per week for 40-50 minutes at a time (includes free weights, jump rope, and doing full body). I've been doing this forever (I'm 49) -- anyway......it seems I don't seem to change. I know 80% is in the kitchen so I have…

Fitbit tracking - steps and calories burned - mine is low
It doesn't seem I have the same calorie burn ability that I read about with others...... example....I try to average between 14,000 - 16,000 steps per day but, my calorie burn is barely 2250 where others seem to have calorie burns of 2500 and above and often with lower steps taken. Last week my average was 16,000+ but, my…

my picture must be in the dictionary next to insanity
only because I can't seem to lose a pound....my scale plays between the same 3-4 pounds (has for the last 7-9 months) and yet I keep trying.....isn't that insanity.....continue doing the same thing, same results?? I do switch up my workouts but for the most part - they remain the same. Lately I have tried reducing cardio…

I have been on MFP for the last 14 months and unfortunately, haven't seen the progress I love to read about that so many post. (no progress measured by the scale, measurements and clothes) here is where I could use advise....I have slowly increased my calories to the number recommended by the scooby calculator but, I also…

iLipo treatments / B12 injections
mmmmmm, I have a friend (really is a friend and not me) that just purchased the package for year of iLipo treatments, lymphatic treatments and lipoburn injections. While I told her she just needs to eat right and exercise she claims she has lower tummy fat she will never get rid of because of surgery ....etc. She also just…

calories in versus out
I am trying to clean up my eating and while I am stuffed my calorie count is very low. Ex....today, I hate all three meals and a protein bar (processed I know) but, my calories are only at 1240 - 529 (FB) = 711 net. I've been netting 1200-1400. If I am full do I need to keep eating?

Strength Training Question
When doing strength training 2-3 times per week do you make sure you do it for X amount of time or that you do X number of excercises for a good workout? Example -- do you do it for 30 minutes or do you do 8 different excercises for 3 sets each of 8-12 repititions or 2 sets with 20 repitions each?

Can 4 days do this much damage?
So, my normal weigh in day is Saturday and while I expected there to be a gain because of the different eating patterns of Thanksgiving I was surprised to see the scale up 5 pounds. Normally, I would have let that ruin my day but, nope, knowing it isn't true "weight gain" I decided to just accept that it was a relapse…
-
why the gain?
DARN -- finally accepted I am only going to lose 2-4 oz. a week or nothing and then this week the scale is up 1 pound. Crazy because I know I didn't eat an extra 3500 calories and my food variety doesn't change too much. I have been struggling with the idea that I need to add calories and slowing trying to increase…

not making progress -- hoping for input on what I could try
if you would be interested in giving me feedback on what I could do to lose weight I would be more than happy to hear. I feel like I am trying very hard with my eating and excercise but, just don't see any results. i've been up and down and while it notes 9 lbs. down it has taken quite a while. I only post when I am down.…

how to calculate calories?? really?
So, by reading a lot of posts I am to calculate my TDEE less 15% to determine how many calories I can eat each day. My weight is 164, height 5'2, moderate excercise (3-5 per week). TDEE is 2221 - 15% (333) = 1888 so to lose weight I should be able to eat 1800 calories a day? For someone that has a difficult time justifying…

Does anyone have any thoughts on Slender GR (Eat for Life program)?

it just isn't working -- no movement on the scals
I have one of those bodies that just doesn't lose weight. When I was younger I didn't have the best eating habits and definately had an issue with eating right if I ate. Now, I seem to be paying for it. I don't think I have a metabolism at all. It doesn't seem to matter how well I eat, the scale doesn't move. I use to be…

Calorie distribution
Calorie distribution - carbs / fat / protein How important is it to hit the recommended distribution of your calorie intake. I have no problem with meeting fats, exceeding protein but, struggle with getting enough carbs.

Gym equipment - relying on the calories burned??
Has anyone ever used the machine at the gym called "wave"? The calories burned build up quickly -- is this realistic?
-
Spinning Class
The "spinning" automated calories loaded in MFP indicates a 45 min session is only 400+ calories. I've always heard a spinning class is more like 800+ calories. Does anyone know since you can't measure it on the bike?

Gym Equipment - called "wave"
has anyone used a machine called "wave". The motion is similar to skiing. I'm wondering if the calories can be relied upon -- they seem to add up very quickly and while it is a very good workout I want to make sure the calories noted as burned are realistic.
