Are the calorie counters on gym machines fairly accurate?
I am really debating getting a HRM only because I feel that the calorie counters on my treadmill is overestimating the calories I lost. Just earlier today, I apparently lost 601 calories on a Level 10 (highest incline) and on Speed 3 (basically a brisk walk) for an hour. It did work me up a good sweat. But I don't know...…

Love and Success (in progress)
Just about an hour ago, I was trying to get to sleep. Somehow, lately I just am not sleepy anytime before midnight and it doesn't help that my shoulder is currently bothering me (again! sigh!). Anyway, I looked over to my left and I see my fiance just sleeping. Suddenly I remembered a really sweet couple moment we had not…

Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer?
So I had purchased the 10 Minute Trainer years ago. LOL. Obviously I have never used it. Went looking around for an electrical cord then in my parent's basement (because my silly dad took away the extension that the treadmill needed, blimey!) only to stumble upon it. Decided to take back home with me the whole set. Anyone…

Stereotyping food is not nice.
Too much demonizing of food in the forums. Just SAD, I tell you. Let me let you in on something: EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING causes cancer or at the very least is bad for you Do you want to start your weight loss with restricting everything you love (face it, all that is awesome is fattening or is filled with…

Beginners to strength training + weights
When I first started MFP, all I did was cardio i.e. Zumba, Running on the treadmill, elliptical and the bike (yeah, I know, typical beginner lol). Then I started noticing more and more in the forums about strength training and its better effects on weight loss and fat burning and decided to give it a go. Problem is, I had…

My fiance was just hugging me earlier and he exclaimed "Wow, your exercises are working, You are a lot curvier and…

MFP makes me see exercise in a whole new different light :)
From someone who barely exercised, I have been exercising everyday since I joined MFP (except for those 4 days I was at out camping) and I enjoy every second of it. In fact, I can't imagine missing a day of exercise otherwise I'd feel that something is amiss. I love how it makes me feel awesome after. Thank you MFP for…

Any exercises I could do at home?
I already do an hour of Zumba (Zumba Fitness Rush Xbox Kinect). I really love it! Anyway, are there any other exercises you do besides crunches ? Something fun? I live in a small apartment so as much as I want a treadmill, the only place I can put it is on the roof. I get anxious in public and due to my work schedule and…
