Wii Fit U
I know there isn't much information on the upcoming game, but today Nintendo had a major conference explaining details on the new console system they're releasing called the Wii U. They promised that at some point between November 18th (the launch day) and the end of the fiscal year (March 31st 2013) they will release a…

Blood Pressure Help... need "real" suggestions
Hello MFP friends! I'm 25 and pretty healthy in all ways but one (excluding some belly flub), my blood pressure is high. I just took it and it was 154/96. A few years ago I remember going to the doctor and having 120/80 on the dot. I've been monitored this whole year and it's been pretty consistently high. I've been under…

How an Android-powered Phone can help you workout...sorta
I just got back from a bike ride to the nearby overpass and I wanted to test out the new application on my phone. I have an Evo which is on Sprint but I am almost certain this will work on any Google Android phone. It's a program called My Tracks and as I rode my bike, it logged (at the intervals I set) my location…

So I just Don't Get It...
I know I can't necessarily let the scale dictate progress, but I'm slightly discouraged. Initially I lost about 10 lbs of weight and then I began going to the gym on a very regular basis. In the past two weeks I've actually gained 1.8 lbs (.9 each time) and yet I am always under my MFP goals but not by too much. I've been…

Metabolism Question
Will working out a lot over a given period of time, boost my normal metabolism even on a day when I didn't work out? Today will be the first day since November 6th that I haven't worked out. I will probably do my daily crunches and maybe some light Wii Fit or something but I am coming down with some kind of cold or…

10lbs off and more Muscle on! (and an Arby's tale)
I don't care if anyone feeds into my need to put this in writing, but I have lost 10 lbs since November 6th (effectively a month) and I have so much more muscle than before. My arms, my shoulders, my abs, they're all just new and awesome and I am moving at a fine and steady pace to my goal weight... currently 190 but more…

Too Much Exercise? (in regards to metabolism)
This sounds like a silly question but I am dead serious. I lost a good chunk my first week, a decent amount the second, and only a tiny bit the third week, but I've exercised every day since starting. I get 30+ minutes, at least 220 calories burned a day. This is a drastic change from my normal routine of not even 2 days a…

Carbs: Seeking Foods Low In Them But With A Catch
So today I hit over my fiber, protein, and unfortunately sodium. I was under cals although I wished I could have eaten them so I don't eat too few. But I didn't eat more because I was over carbs (I had a banana a moment ago which was the nail in that coffin). So I have two questions. First, how much over is too much over…

I know today I am gonna go over my limit...what will the dam
I started with this site a little over a week ago and already I have lost five pounds. I attribute that to the daily exercise as opposed to the rarely any I would do before, and not so much to the fact I've made sure to be making good on my daily limits. However today is my birthday and I was originally gonna go to Red…

Wii Fit For Health
So I am a huge Nintendo gamer and while the original didn't keep my interest for too long, the new Wii Fit Plus has been. I'm just asking around to see who else uses Wii Fit, or the Wii in general, in some capacity for their exercise/weight loss/strength training regimen. Anyone? Tonight I knew I wanted a certain kind of…

Too Much Protein?
I've been trying to utilize this site by watching the values of Calories, Fat, Carbs, and Protein. I'm thinking of grabbing some Subway for lunch and while lining up the values just to see where it would put me for the rest of the day, I would already be 3 proteins over for my daily need while I'd be well under my other…
