Stopped losing weight, but not inches.
About a month or so ago I started slowly increasing my calories to get me to a maintenance goal. It has worked pretty well...had a little increase at first, but I'm back to where I was and have been there for the past 3+ weeks. Only thing is, my pants keep getting looser. I never worried about taking measurements along the…

heavy weights and few reps or?
Heavy weights and few reps or light weights and lots of reps? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? I have been doing some basic stuff like bicep curls and such and wondered what was recommended.

I hit my goal today, but....
6 months ago I decided that it was time to make a change. I set my goal at 190, that would be a loss of 32 pounds. I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 190.2. WooHoo....only problem is that now I think I would be better at closer to 180 or 185. So, I'm going to continue as I have been and see where it takes me.…

Did you hit your goal, only to have it move?
6 months ago I made a decision to lose some weight...thought 30 pounds would do it. It's been 25 years or more since I had been at that weight. Well, I'm getting close and as of this morning I was 2 pounds away from my goal. Problem is, I think another 5 pounds would make me feel better. But I can't help but wonder if in…

The hardest part of watching your calories....
This next week is going to be tough. I'm going away with the guys for the weekend and there will be a lot of drinking, and all our meals will be eaten out. Then next week, I have to go away for work, so it will be 3 more days of restaurants. Eating out sure is tough on the weight loss.

What kind of treadmill do you have?
I broke my treadmill this morning. I've read a lot of reviews, but I can't help to wonder how many of them are exaggerated. What kind of treadmill do you have, how long have you had it, how much do you use it and have you had any trouble with it?

what running sneakers?
I have been reading about needing to get fit for good running sneakers...problem is that I don't really live near a place that specializes in running equipment. About the closest thing is a footlocker....not sure if that counts or not. If I have to rely on getting them myself, what should I look for? Any specific brands or…

Question for the runners.
I am about 3 months into my exercising/weight loss program. I started out at 10 miutes of walking, 15 minutes slow jog, 5 minutes walk (all on treadmill). I have been increasing the running, either in speed or length over time and this week I started 5 min walk, 30 minute run at 12 minute mile pace, 5 minute walk. I do…

Do you reach your calorie goals?
I have been pretty good about logging everything and how much I eat to the best of my abilities. I rarely reach my recomended goals. Last week I was 1750 calories under for the week. I know in the grand scheme of things that isn't a lot per day, but I am barely meeting my projected weight loss. I was just wondering if…

Confused about "starvation mode"
Hi all, I've been folowing MFP for about 3 months now and have found it to be the best way for me to watch what I eat. When I started I figured myself to be about 20 pounds over where I wanted to be. But I was more concerned about getting healthier, rather than thinner. MFP has set my daily intake at 1400 calories. Along…
