1200 calories a day... I'm confused
After reading several posts here and there, I am wondering if 1200 calories a day are enough. Why does mfp set them this low if it's not healthy for weight loss? Don't get me wrong, I am exercising and all and I am trying to keep my net calories as close to 1200 as possible and logging all my foods and activities. Can…

My weight has not budged in a couple weeks...
What is going on here? I have had a few days where I went over my 1200 net but all by only a few hundred and one by almost 900. However, It is already set at a deficit and the rest of the time I am under so that should not effect it THAT much. Just... wow... What gives...

Heart Rate
How do you figure out where to keep your heart rate during exercising. According to the chart on the treadmill... 117 puts me at 60% and 144 puts me at 80% (I think that's right) I started using it manually because I was finding that I was sweating less and working out has got easier. Now, I have been getting my heart rate…

Halloween~ My children are not happy!
Every year, I go out and buy 5-6 mega bags of mini candy bars for Halloween. Even tho we generally only have maybe a couple of dozen trick or treaters...

WorkoutTrainer via smart phones
Is anyone else here using the WorkoutTrainer via smart phones? I had to enter my height/weight and after each exercise it tells me how many calories I have burned according to my size. I am assuming this should be a fairly accurate calculation as it takes my specific ratio into consideration. Any thoughts?

I'm confused with calorie goals...
I am confused. This place has my calories set at 1200/day. If I exercise, it ups the amount. If I don't, it doesn't. Someone just posted on here in a community thread that we shouldn't NET less than 1200/day? I have been doing about 100-200 less than "goal" and I am losing fairly well. What should I be doing here? What…

I think the yoga kicked my butt. I am still so sore in my legs. I didn't exercise at all yesterday (Sunday) cause I could hardly move around much…
