Making it count this time
I once again find myself at a new all time high weight. MFP has helped me lose weight before but I always fall off track and the pounds come back on and bring new friends. I've used food scales and tracked calories accurately, lifted weights and added cardio. If I continue like my prior attempts, I'm setting myself up for…

Calories burned- AMT Open Stride
I've been avoiding this weird looking elliptical at the gym, but when it was the only one open the other night I decided to try it http://www.precor.com/precor-amt-open-stride It gave me a much higher calorie count than all the other ellipticals I've used- it felt like a more intense workout to me. It said 292 calories in…

Unhappy with body shape
I've been yo-yo'ing my weight for a while. I started at 153 and got down to a low of 129, my lowest pic is from 133. I'm currently at 138. I hate my stomach. It is NOT normal for it to be this big at my weight, I am 5'3". I just want it gone... It should be smaller by now, but it looks closer to my 153 pic than my 133 pic.…

Seeking friends- 3,200 calories/day
Or anywhere in that range, with open diaries. I'm eating much less than that but I'd like to get an idea of what to put together for a meal plan for someone else.

Activity level help for a friend
I'm helping a friend figure out BMR and TDEE. He's 6'4", 275 pounds and is a welder. He's on his feet all day at work moving some pretty heavy stuff and I'm not sure what activity level to pick for him. He also goes to the gym 3-4 days a week.

Comments on my diary please?
I know I don't have much logged but I'm having a hard time getting my macros right. Any suggestions on how to change up what I'm eating to fit my macros better would be welcome. I was doing a modified fast (and I didn't do that good at it) last week, so a more accurate view of what I normally eat is from Jan 2-10, Dec…

Share your crock pot meals
I'm new at using my crock pot and I'm looking for some healthy recipes. Ideally I'd like to just eat what's in the crock pot for dinner, and keep dinner around 400 calories.

NSV- heart rate
I've always had a high heart rate while exercising- mid 170s to 180 usually from the time I was a young teen. When I started C25K and alternating the elliptical, my max heart rate would get up to 175 and not get below 140 after a 5 minute cool down- and that was only running for 60 seconds at a time! 6 full weeks of C25K…

Critique my diary please
Please no comments about 1200 calories. I'm still losing on it and I feel good. If I come to a plateau I plan to switch to TDEE-20%. What changes would you make?

Armband for iPhone 5
I usually run on the treadmill but I'm leaving for vacation Friday and I want to take an armband with me because I'll have to run outside. What's the best one I can buy in store that will fit my phone, preferably with the OtterBox Commuter case still on?

Help me with a workout routine?
I'm doing C25K right now- T,Th&S. If I have to warm up my car before I leave/after running, I'll play around on the weight machines for 10 mins while the remote start is on. MWF and sometimes Sunday I'll do a half hour on the elliptical then maybe 10 mins of machines. I know I need to do more than cardio but I don't really…

Halfway there
I'm 23, 5'2" and hit my heaviest last May. I haven't been consistently using MFP, but I'm back on the bandwagon. To give myself some motivation I decided to post pics :) I carry most of my weight around my gut- it's a big problem area! Goal is 125. (How do I combine 2 pics into one? I'd like to see them side by side but…

Friday Fish Fry
What's the best way to estimate calories for a fish fry? It's a small business with no nutritional info available. The existing entries seem all over the place. Or what are other healthy alternatives to deep fried fish?
