Restarting my journey, looking for friends and motivation.
Hi everyone, my name is Hanne, I'm soon to be 27 years old, and wanting to get my life back in order. My fitness journey, and struggle, has been lifelong. I've always been the chubby one, which then turned into the fat one, and while I've never been happy about it, I often lied to myself and said I was. Pretending to be…

New and hopeful. Advice appreciated.
Hi there! I am new to the group, but not to MFP and weightloss. I joined roughly 3 years ago, though had a 16 month stint where I didn't track because I was in a foreign country with just not enough time, but since joining MFP I have lost 20kg (roughly 44lbs) bringing me from my all time high of 101kg, to my current 81kg.…

Getting started again.
I need help to get started with my weightloss journey again, especially since I don't have that much to go. Well, I still have 19kg to go, but! It's a vast improvement from where I once was. It seems doable now, where before it didn't so much, and I got over my plateau. However, now I am battling with trying to not gain…

Suunto & movescount.com/HRM questions!
Does anyone use this site/app, and have an HRM from Suunto? I just bought my first HRM, and it's a Suunto M4. It's simple, and that's what I wanted. It'll monitor calories and HR, and it, apparently, has daily work out recommendations and a 7 day program. But all in all, I'm pleased with it, for it seems to be what I want.…

When do you adjust your loss goal?
Hello! I've got a quick question as I slowly make my way through my journey. When do you adjust how much you want to lose each week? I, personally, started in may with about 35kg (75lbs) to lose, and optimistically set it to 2lbs pr week. That was alright for about a month, but it was harder to stay within the…

Helping my Mother.
I've spoken of my mother a few times here on MFP, and how she's been rather unsupportive of my weight loss. Not that she's tried to stop me, but that she's nagged and nagged and nagged for me to lose weight and work out and diet, that the entire notion of it became unappealing. Lately she has seen my success with MFP, and…

NSV :(
My favourite bra no longer fits. It's too big around the band. :brokenheart: :bigsmile:

Vann vann og atter vann.
Hvordan får dere i dere alt vannet vi skal ha iløpet av en dag? Jeg prøver jo hver dag, men det er ofte det er vanskelig, enten fordi jeg rett og slett ikke føler meg tørst, eller at vann blir veldig kjedelig i lengden. Nylig har jog kjøpte FunLight Fruktfest, og den er jo kjempegod, så den tror jeg vil hjelpe fremover.…

fitbit calorie adjustment vs what my HRM says
I just got my fitbit yesterday, however, I've been using an HRM for quite some time. I've read a lot about how people don't add things like walking etc to their log, as the fitbit is usually accurate. However, for me, my fitbit calorie adjustment was about 300cals lower than what my HRM said. My HRM is set up with my age,…

Average heart rate + HRM burning questions.
So I have a quick question about HRM use, and average heart rates and whatnot. I walk at a brisk place, with occasional bursts of jog. About 6.5km an hour is my average speed. And I've been using my HRM for about two weeks now, and while I love it, my readings seem very high compared to what I've been reading everyone else…

MILES MILES MILES
Jeg skjønner ikke hvordan folk klarer så mange miles som de påstår. Å gå en tur på 5km er godt gjort for meg, da er jeg knall fornøyd, så kommer folk som løper 15miles+ hver dag. Det er helt ekstremt *kitten*.

Let's have an Olympic medal challenge!
As I'm sure many others are, I am following the Olympics with great enjoyment. Norway may not be the best in summer, but we already have one medal down! And that's why I thought it would be fun to have an Olympic medal challenge. For every medal my country wins, I'm going to add an extra mile to my walk the following day.…

Walking with Nordic Sticks
Recently aka this week I've started incorporating walking into my work out, because I felt like my body wasn't benefitting as much any more from me just riding my bike. I just got an HRM as well, which I'll be starting to use today. I walk between 5-6km when I'm out, keeping a pace of about 6km an hour, which I think is…

How do you reward yourself?
Does anyone have any specific methods of rewarding themselves when they reach certain goals? Such as something every 10lbs lost, or 5lbs, or 5kg etc. I'm closing in on my first 10kg lost, but at the same time, I often feel my motivation slipping. Of course I see the long run of things, and know I have goals then (new…

When did you start to notice?
I've been wondering around which mark people had a noticeable difference, to themselves, in the way they looked? Especially from those are my size, I'm 5'7, started out at 222 and am now at 209. I don't look any different, but obviously it's gone off somewhere. So how has it been for you?

Hunger loss.
Ever since I've started following MFP, and watching my calories, I'm finding myself less hungry. Such as today my family went out to a nice steak restaurant, but I could hardly eat 1/3 of my meal before I felt full, and feeling full, I stopped eating. I was also drinking water with it. Is it normal to not feel as hungry as…

Mascot costume.
How do you log being in a mascot costume? I'm to be in one on Saturday and Sunday, and I just tried it. I was in it about 15-20 minutes, and my entire t-shirt was soaked in the back with sweat. Hah! They are /hot hot hot/. But how do I even log that?

How do you log the 30 day shred?
Is there a specific way, or do you need to use an HRM? I want to start the 30DS tonight, so I just want to make sure I have everything ready to go!

Disappointment from others
I've been on MFP for about three weeks, and have been committed to making a lifestyle change since. I've tested out different levels of calories, having started out at 1200, but working out every day to bring it up to about 1450, and then last week I tried starting at 1450, and working up to 1600. In that week, I gained…

Weigh-in, when?
I used to obsess with stepping on the scale. Basically, I did it every time I went to the bathroom. But that's not good. Because your body fluctuates throughout the day, and all. I've learned that now. But it still itches at me to go weigh in every time I'm in there, even though I haven't for 2 days now. (A new record!) I…

When should I log the exercise?
I exercise during the night, because that's what I feel comfortable with. Which means that I mostly exercise after the time I've set as my do not eat after (which is 8pm). However, therein lies the problem that I'll suddenly be getting calories to eat back after I've stopped eating for the day. Since a lot of it is clocked…

NET + eating back calories
Is there a simple way to explain these two things? Because I'm confused as to what they mean. My goal for every day is 1490, according to MFP. However yesterday I had "earned" an extra 200 calories due to exercise. Now am I supposed to eat those extra calories, or is that only if I want to maintain my weight? Obviously I…

New to MFP, and excited.
Hello! My name is Hanne, and I'm 22, going to be 23 on Thursday! I currently weight 101kg and my heaviest, and while I'm mostly happy with that, I will occasionally look at myself and dislike what I see, and because of that I want to lose a bit of weight. It'll make things easier, I think. Life in general, as well as…
