hip problem on elliptical trainer
I have this problem whenever I use the elliptical trainer. My left hips goes stiff and I lose the range of motion due to it feeling uncomfortable. It doesn't hurt but it feels like if I push it to the full range of motion that it will pop out or hurt. When I get off I have to walk slowly and carefully and it usually starts…

Drop in shoe size
I just went and bought a pair of winter boots and they are a size 8! I am normally a size 9-9.5. I'm wondering if losing weight affects your shoe size. I've lost 7kg in the last 5 months and about 11kg in the last year. Not a huge amount and I wouldn't think enough to make that much of a difference.

Losing my gym/exercise mojo
I've been going hard at the gym since January and have been working hard on my diet, exercise and weight loss. Lately though I get to the gym and I just have no energy or motivation. I completed the C25K program and attempted a start at the C210K one. When I go to do weights the machines etc are so clogged up with…

For the ladies - weight gain mid cycle??
Does anyone gain weight around ovulation time? I think I'm starting to see a trend. My weight increases by .5-1kg at the exact same time I ovulate even when I am sticking to my calories etc. Anyone else?

working out 6 days a week, ok?
Is it ok to work out 6 days a week? Three days are C210K plus 1/2 hour cardio, one is a core workout class + cardio, a step aerobics class on one day, and cardio (running) + weights on another day

Do I want to lose too much?
Hi all, just after your opinions. I have over the last year lost around 12kg, half of which has been recently. I plan to lose another 3kg to get to my goal weight of 65kg. I have had a couple of people recently say that I shouldn't lose any more weight though. I'm not skinny or with bones protruding. I still have a lot of…

hrm that shows calories burnt as you go
Does anyone know if there is a hrm that displays the amount of calories you are burning on the screen AS you exercise? With my Garmin I have to go into the history at the end of a session to see calories burnt.

Increased fitness and calories burnt
I'm just curious. If you get better (fitter) at doing an activity like a step class, do you burn less calories as your heart is not working as hard? I've just noticed a decrease in my burn level on a few activities the last few weeks even though I go for the same mount of time and the same pace.

How long to heal?
About a month ago I pulled my calf muscle in a step class. Not badly but enough to make me leave the class. It was fine the next day. The following week the same thing happened in step class. This time I iced it and the instructor said to go easy and rest for a couple of weeks. I normally run on the treadmill, do step…

Anyway does anyone know which one would be suitable for me? I want something that will show the amount of calories burned and…

fitbit and adding in exercise
Just wondering what people do? Say you go for a jog or a bike ride. Fitbit calculates the steps and gives you extra calories to use BUT do you also add in the exercise you are doing on MFP? They can be more strenuous than just steps so what do you do?

fit bit saying I have burned 6,000 calories!
So I did my normal morning walk this morning and so far today (halfway through the day) I have taken about 11,000 steps and fitbit is saying I have now burnt over 6,000 calories!!! Seeing it has synced with MFP it has now bumped my calories up to over 5,000. That's ridiculous! Starting to think this fit bit syncing with…

anyone with a fitbit?
I just bought and synced a fit bit zip to my MFP account. For some reason it put in -217 calories and has taken it off my calorie goal for today! In fitbit it says I have already burned 712 calories (I have only just put it on). How do I reset it all??

selecting treadmill for MFP
What do I put a workout on a treadmill under on MFP? I incline it to 4% and walk at a fast pace (6.5) for 1/2 hour. There is no treadmill selection besides "stair-treadmill" but I think that is different???

does hommus have protein?
I put in a mini tub of hommus I had today and it said "0" protein. I thought that seeing it is made from chickpeas (which are a legume), it would be high in protein??

What am I doing wrong?
Hi all, I have been back on MFP for about 2-3 weeks now. I am 73.6kg and around 172cms tall. I exercise 3-4 times a week either at the gym or long hard walks. My problem is that in the first week I lost about 1kg but after that nothing has been coming off. My calories have been based around 1200-1400 (more if I exercise).…
