I signed up for ww today and receive d my little welcome pack with my pocket guide and pamphlets. Am I missing something because I don't see where it tells me how to calculate points for different foods and they are certainly are not all listed in the pocket guide. Thanks!

Where else can I put my HRM watch?
No jewlery, watches etc are allowed to be worn in my kickboxing class. They are strict about it because it's a martial arts studio and they don't want to the mat floors to get ruined (no shoes either). From what I understand the chest strap is what takes the reading so I don't HAVE to wear the watch on my wrist, right? I…

Anyone around 160lbs?
I'm 5'4 and wondering who else out there is around my weight and is trying to lose 20-30lbs. It would be nice to have some friends with similar frustrations. Not TOO much to lose but enough to have to put in some real work. I started at 170lbs and I'm stuck around 160... for almost a month now :( SO FRUSTRATING!!!

need a few friends with similar stats :)
I wasn't sure if I was going to venture in to the friend zone on MFP but I have decided it certainly can't hurt. I'm a 5'4, 28 year old female SW 170 (after gaining 20lbs in a year!) CW 160-161 GW 140 (for now) I was eating 1200 calories a day but stopped losing so I'm at 1350 now. I might go up to 1400... it took me a…

resetting activity level/lbs perweek to lose- please help!
I currently have my activity level set to lightly active and I'm set to lose 2lbs per week. This gives me 1200 calories a day. In the last 2+ weeks I have been stuck at the same weight so I'm going to follow all of the "eat more lose more" advice and up my calories. For activity level- I'm a teacher but it's summer so I'm…

Im stuck and frustrated!!! Help!
I've been actively using MFP since about June 26th (give or take a day). I am set at 1200 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. I started at 170lbs and am now stuck at about 162lbs. Last weekend I went away for a wedding and the only thing "wrong" I really did was drink a ton of alcohol on Saturday. I've been stuck ever…

Kickboxing... do I still need weight training?
I take a kickboxing class 2-3 times a week at a martial arts studio. They work us hard, I'm always sore, and they switch up the workout every time also incorporating abs, lunges, jump rope, and quick circuits w weights sometimes. Does this only count as cardio? Should I still be lifting weights to build muscle?
-
strength training suggestions?
I currently do a kickboxing class at a martial arts studio 3 days a week and we do mostly bag work so I'm wondering if that will help me tone up or is that just straight cardio. At the gym, I do cardio as well so I KNOW I need to incorporate weights. I have broad shoulders and would really like to work on building muscle…

BMR? TDEE? I'm new, help!
I keep seeing these acronyms. BMR and TDEE and that I should be calculating how many calories I eat from these things. MFP has me set at 1200 a day but I don't know about 'eating back' calories. I've never heard of that before. I'm on information overload!!!

Is my calorie intake correct? HELP!
I don't remember if MFP set the calories for me or not but I'm conflicted as to when/ if it should be adjusted. I'm 5'4 and 168lbs at 1400 calories a day. When I work out, the calories go up so do I still only take in the 1400 though? I'm confused. I'm at the heaviest I have ever been (gained almost 20lbs in the last 10…
