I need help - please!
I have been tracking, faithfully, for about 72 days now. I went back to the beginning of this, just for fun, and according to the records if I maintained the current calorie and exercise level I should be at about 152 by now. I'm 158.8. After 10 weeks of logging and eating at a deficit for the majority of the time, I've…

frustration
So incredibly frustrated. Been logging for five weeks. When I first started logging again, MFP had been saying that if I keep eating this way, I would, in five weeks, have lost about 4 pounds. This shows up in practically every diary entry except for the few that I went over - which I balanced out by going under the rest…

sticker shock
I was getting depressed about how slow the number were moving on the scale - so I stopped weighing myself thinking I would be better off simply monitoring my food and exercise and the weight will fall where it will. I did this for about five months. For me, this was a mistake! I had to go in for surgery, stepped on the…

Engineering your cravings
Here's a link to a very interesting article on convenience food and snack food and etc. It helped me look completely differently at chips, breakfast food, snack food - anything that has multiple lists of ingredients. Here's one quote from the article: "Salt, sugar and fat are the three pillars of the processed food…

weight lifting program
I am wondering if anyone can recommend a weight lifting program that worked for them. I've got free weights, a bench and an exercise ball. Don't think I want to do the whole stronglifts thing because I don't have room for the equipment - at least not from what I've seen used. What worked for you? What do you suggest?

Need advice - help. Please.
I'm 57, I weigh 155.4 as of this morning. Sigh. For the past month I've been logging my food intake reasonably carefully (missed a few days). At the same time I started Jillian MIchaels online program which is very similar to her 30 Day Shred (strength mixed with cardio 2/1) which is about 35 - 40 minutes of exercise and…

still confused - please forgive.
So, I've been looking at my numbers and I don't know if I'm overthinking this, but I'm still a bit confused. According to MFP, for today I ate 1485 calories and I got 455 calories from exercise. So I have a net of 1030 calories, which, I've been reading is too low. YET, according to my fitbit I logged in about 1903…

TDEE vs fitbit
So I've been going around the block on how many calories I should be eating based on my TDEE. Before I did this research I was netting about 1,000 calories after exercise that I input manually into MFP. For exercise I have been doing Jillian MIchaels personalized web program and going for a brisk walk most every day. In…

. . . . and again
i am trying not to beat myself up, but I am now starting VI for the THIRD time! The first time was before my son's wedding and I was up to week 6 and I was doing tricep dips and suddenly I had this horrible pain across my chest. It hurt for months. Then I started again later on and same thing. And life got in the way . . .…

starting over
I had started the Venus Index program about three months ago - then my son's wedding in Tennessee happened and a lot of travelling and then camping and I haven't exercised for at least five weeks. So I'm hoping to start my Venus Index program from the beginning again. How are the rest of you doing?
