Calories Burned on a Stationary Cycle
Hi I use a stationary cycle and have been for a while, although I am not sure about the 'Calorie Burn' on one of these.........the on board comp says I burn 270 for 1/2 hour cycling at 20 mph (this includes 2 bursts of 1 min each at 30 mph) but I am sure it must be more than this. I notice that most of the places that give…

Really getting disheartened!!!!!!!!!!!
OK When I first started on MFP I did great, losing over 6lbs in the first week or two, I continued to lose weight steadily (although being on Insulin made it a little more difficult) and was down to 212lbs from 225 by the time I went away on Hols to Florida. I then 'drifted' from my calorie plan and rose back to 218lbs, at…

Can someone help me.
Hey I am after a website which will let me build a recipe, then give me the nutritional info for said recipe (or just the calorie count if not the whole caboodle) I am sure I saw one mentioned on MFP but cannot for the life of me find it. Thanks Widdy

Weight down then up
Feeling a bit disheartened today. Weighed in yesterday and had lost 3lb over the week, brilliant stuff...........this morning, I don't know why, but I decided to weigh again, just to check (and see the 3lb loss again) but to my horror, I was back to the original weight of the week before, I had lost nothing. Why does this…

Different Values for the same food
Hi I noticed that there are sometimes different Calorific values for the same foods in the database. Example.....Nimble-Wholemeal Bread.......1 Slice 40 Calories (Input by me and taken from the package) *Nimble Wholemeal-Bread.......1 Slice 41 Calories OK, it's only 1 calorie but, other foods can be as much as 20 0r 30…

Been off the straight and narrow
Hi All Well, I have to admit that I have strayed from the path of calorie counting. Since returning from my holiday to Florida in March, I have not been online or sticking much to my eating plan, maybe I just decided 'what the heck', I aint' really sure why, maybe I thought I could keep the weight loss going without…

It's working.........but maybe too quickly
Hi All Well this website is certainly working for me, I have lost 7lbs in 6 days......but is this too quick? According to my plan I should be losing around 2lbs per week, I must point out that I have had problems losing weight before, so I am not complaining, also my blood sugars have never looked so good (well since being…

Amazing Calories
I find it amazing that foods I thought were 'Healthy' can contain so many calories, I realise now why I have been having so much trouble losing weight. I gave up smoking 2 years ago and at the same time I was started on insulin, both of which make it more difficult to lose weight (or so I was told) but I really think the…

Hi All
Hi I'm here to try and lose this excess baggage I have accumulated this past year or so. I used to find it quite easy to lose weight, until I quit smoking and got put on Insulin for my Diabetes, now I find it very difficult. I have been eating quite healthy but seem to be getting nowhere fast, so here I am. I live in the…
