Elliptical VS 30 Day Shred
Right now my workout is an hour and 15 minutes on the elliptical. The elliptical reads usually an average of 750 I know this may not be accurate but it is the number I have been using and consistently losing weight on. I have heard a lot of people say that 30DS is an hour long workout fit into 27 minutes. Is that really…

Which is more important when exercising?
I workout on the elliptical for an hour and 15 minutes 5 times a week. When exercising I guess my main goal is a higher calorie burn. I know that both are important but will going faster on the elliptical burn more calories or should I focus on a higher resistance? Sorry if this question is stupid or a common sense thing I…

Metabolism question...Need answers
So I tried asking a number of people this question and they keep trying to tell me how to increase my metabolism which is not what I want to. I really don't know how to word the question in order for people to understand what I am saying. Maybe it's common sense question and I can't seem to comprehend. Anyway, My Question:…

Low Calorie Peppermint Mocha Coffee..or Iced Coffee!
I just recently got addicted to Dunkin Donuts Iced coffees when I had coupons for a free one every Monday last month....so I decided to make my own. You don't have to use the ingredients I used. I know some people don't believe in the 0 calorie sweeteners. I am pretty restricted and that's what works for me. I won't use…

Now I know there are a lot of risk…

Young college girl needs support :/
I am not new to mfp but after being a way a couple months and gaining about 40 pounds I need a fresh start. I am sure a lot of my old mfp friends were tired of seeing me disappear so I am just looking for some more encouragement and to be able to support others. Losing weight is a lot easier when you have others with…

Spaghetti Alternative....<3
I am sure many of you have already heard of this but for those who haven't I would love to talk about it because OMG do I wish I would have tried this sooner... an AMAZING alternative is spaghetti squash. I saw it online and was verrrry scared to try it...Mostly because I hate squash...I was desperate and wanted spaghetti…

Seems like the obvious answer....Walden Farms
I hear a lot of negative things about Walden farms products. One reason I decided to order from them is because I absolutely LOVE peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but after I started calorie counting I realized that the amount of calories in a pb and j sandwich was not worth it. So I thought I would go the 0 calorie…

I want to get a new scale but for some reason when I look online and read reviews the negative reviews seem to stick with me more than the positive...anyway any suggestions on which scale I should use to weigh myself...one that is almost always…

Stomach cramps :/
So you know how sometimes when you are working out you start to cramp? Well I have been getting those outside my workout. Does anyone have an idea why? Monday I hurt my knee so I haven't been able to do the usual workout i've been taking it easy on the bike. I drink over 10 cups of water a day.

Looking for some new workout songs...any ideas?
I have tons of songs on my iPod but very few I can actually workout too. I feel like I need to update my workout playlist. What are some songs that get you guys pumped? :]

Fitbit question...
So I have considered buying a fitbit, it says it tracks your steps, tells you how many calories you have burned and all that. Does that mean I could workout and it would tell me how many calories I burned, like a heart rate monitor...or is it only accurate with counting steps.

Sweating more??
I've lost almost 30 pounds. When I was 30 pounds heavier I never use to sweat, only when I was doing active things. Now I will be sitting in class and sweating, not even a little...a lot. My friend came into class to talk to me and I was sweating so bad he asked me if I was about to pass out or something. I am just kind of…

Would really appreciate some help :/
Okay so....trust me when I say I have never had problems eating...1200 calories...In my lifetime (before trying to loose weight). Anyway, when I first started trying to lose weight I wasn't very educated. I thought if I starved myself I would lose weight really fast. Then I joined MFP and I learned a lot. And that eating…

Random thought!
I've heard many members say that "They haven't gained weight over night so they aren't going to lose it overnight" I have been really surprised at the amount of weight I have lost in the amount of time. Sure I would be happier if I lost it faster but if I was losing it as slow as I gained it that would be depressing. I've…

I have been working out 6 days a week and eating very healthy. I asked her a couple times if she wanted to work out with me but she said she had to focus on school so…

Starvation Mode?
Okay....So I have been dieting for a few weeks and have lost 18 pounds all together. Since joining MyFitnessPal I lost 7 but it keeps telling me I need to eat more. If I'm not hungry doesn't it seem weird to force yourself to eat more. Is Starvation Mode even real? I'm no purposely trying to eat less....
