p90x help?
Ok, so I own the P90X dvds. Never been able to complete more than a week due to lack of motivation and it's straight up HARD.

Calorie counter on the elliptical machine?
Are the calorie counters that count how many calories you lose on the elliptical machines (whatever other gym machines) accurate? I put in my age and weight and check my heart rate often on the machine to maybe help it along but I don't know really how it knows. I really wanna know pretty close to how many i'm burning…

Stand still on losing weight

Help, I'm kinda confused!
I'm fairly new to MFP and I'm kinda confused about how many calories I should be eating. In the first two weeks on here I set my activity level to "sedentary" because if I'm not working out, then I'm sitting at home studying. MFP said my calorie intake should be 1350 and sometimes I ate back my workout calories and…
