I have made my diary public so you can give me some constructive criticism and advice. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/TdaniT I find that it is hard to stay around my calorie count. I am not sure if it is because I am…

Garmin Vivosmart or Fitbit Charge
I am looking at getting a fitness tracker. Actually my parents want to buy me one for Christmas but of course they want to know which one I want. I currently use a Polar FT4 when I run/walk which hasn't been very much as of late. My parents want to help motivate me and I appreciate it. My dad was thinking the Fitbit…

Thoughts on Focus T25?
I am looking to buy my first every workout DVD's. I know I can go on YouTube and other websites to get them for free, however I like the idea of having a program that I don't have to worry about getting online on a computer, small screen, internet connection problems, etc. I also like the idea of being able to repeat…

So frustrated...
I am so darn frustrated! I haven't lost much weight in the last month. I hadn't been logging as I was still losing a pound a week. I needed a break from being on this site all of the time. Then I stopped losing. I didn't gain, Yay! But I didn't lose, Boo! So I have started logging again for the last couple of weeks. And…

Should I be this depressed?
I weighed in Saturday the 29th of June. I weigh in and record my weight each Saturday morning. This past Saturday I was not at home. I took a mini vacation with my family from Thursday - Sunday. I weighed myself this morning expecting to see a 1-3lb weight gain. But it said I am 7 pounds heavier than I was on the 29th!!!…

Breathing while Running
I am really getting frustrated and discouraged due to my breathing during running. I have been running now since February. I have been running strictly outside since May. I know that is not a lot of time and I am still learning. However, by now I would have hoped that my breathing would be better. I know I could run so…

What do you think? Today or tomorrow's weight?
Okay everyone, need your opinions! I know today/tonight I am going to be eating food that is probably going to make me bloat up...my husband and I are going to a bar with friends. So, do I enter my weight from this morning or do I wait and enter my weight from tomorrow morning? I usually enter my Saturday weight as my…

Tired all of the time?
Anyone else seem to be tired all of the time? I am getting enough sleep but I can't seem to get out of this funk. Ugh! Makes it hard to stay motivated to exercise.

What video to do at home?
I have read so many posts about different exercise videos that I am not sure what I should get. I have been doing mostly cardio for my exercising for the past 7 months. I now want to start with strength training to round everything out. I have never lifted weights before. I haven't done anything considered strength…

Macros and Hunger
Okay so this is kind of a two-sided post. First, I just added sodium and sugar to my food tracking so I can see how they are doing. I am actually doing awesome with my sodium, coming in under most days. My sugar I am always over. Like today...I have had two things for breakfast and I have 1 sugar left for the entire day???…

Here are my numbers...now go! :) Help!
I am 34 years old and as of Sunday (4/14) I am 172.8lbs. I am 5'3" tall. My main exercise is the couch25K program 3x a week for 30-35 mins per day. On the other 4 days I get in a minimum of 30 mins walking on the treadmill. Every now and again I will get on the Wii for strength training. I have a desk job where I can get…

Calculating TDEE or using MFP Calculations
I currently user MFP caculations to determine the amount of calories that I should be eating. I then try and eat back my calories burned that the site gives me credit for. It currently has me set at 1370 calories per day. This is for a sedentary lifestyle (I chose that because I have a desk job). I do currently exercise…

Cheat meal or day?
So I figure it is better to have one cheat meal (not a day, more like a week) than to have a cheat day. But if you end up having a cheat day (lunch/dinner), will it mess you up real bad? Today I wanted sushi for lunch so that is what I got. I ate the miso soup, side salad with ginger dressing, and 2 rolls (8 pieces each).…

Which heart monitor/app to use
Okay, I want to get a heart rate monitor and an app on my Samsung Galaxy S3 to better track my calories burned. I think I am overestimating and it is driving me crazy! So what is everyone using? I want something that is easy to use and I can wear the monitor comfortably. I have seen a lot about the fitbit but can't tell if…

How to continue?
I just finished W3D3 for the second time. I repeated week 3 because I am having trouble getting through the 3 min run. I do what I think is pretty good for the first 3 mins but then for the second 3 mins I have a real hard time. Even today I did. I am doing the program on a treadmill at home. I have a hard time breathing…

Couch to 5K
I just completed W2D3 this morning and I read what they require for next week. I admit I am more than a little nervous and you can throw in some scared as well. I have read where a lot of people on here are doing the program (probably not the same exact one as there are many). I don't read where anyone is having the…

Bowflex Extreme SE
Does anyone have any experience with Bowflex? My husband has been wanting to get one and I found a really nice one on craigslist really inexpensive. I am interested in finding out if anyone has used a Bowflex and what do they think? I have been great with getting on the treadmill at home but I need to do some strength…

Days like these I want to give up
I am so disgusted with myself right now. I didn't make the right choice for breakfast this morning and so I have used 990 calories up already. :( It is days like these that I want to give up. What is the point? I can't seem to get a grip on getting my diet straight. I am always hungry! And yes I know that I am whining. I…

How to eat within allotted calories and feel satisfied
Since joing MFP I have lost 10 pounds and then gained back 3 pounds after going on vacation. I got out of the habit of logging my food and exercising which caused the weight gain. I am now fighting back! I am doing good at getting active again. I was walking on my treadmill for 30 mins each day to start. I have now added a…

New here
Hi, my name is Dani and I am new to this site. I am hoping that it will help me get back on track and stay motivated. I have been successful in the past losing weight with Weight Watchers. Unfortunately I cannot afford to do that again. I know how to eat better, I just don't. So I am going to use this site. The first date…
