Call me out!!!
In 2013 I used MFP to help me lose about 50lbs. It felt amazing! In 2014 I had a sports injury and a 10lb baby. Now I'm back to square one. My baby is 8 months old today, and I honestly thought I'd be back in much better shape by now. I'm so tired of feeling like this. It's time to get serious and stop letting my…

What's my activity level?
Hey everyone! I'm trying to calculate my TDEE. If you have opinions about whether or not this is the best way to lose weight, you may kindly keep them to yourself - that's the not the question I'm asking here. :happy: I can't decide if I'm moderately active ("moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week") or very active ("hard…

Farewell
Dear Size 18 jeans, Yes, I know, we spent a few long, hot, humid summers together. You were always there for me when I was so embarrassed of my thighs that I'd rather sweat to death than show them. You never cared that my legs were a reflective shade of white. You were with me through picnics, birthday parties, pool…

side-by-side photo help
Can anybody tell me how to make a side-by-side photo using 2 pictures of my weight loss progress? I'd love to be able to add captions also. I'm intelligent... except when I use a computer. Use small words. Thanks in advance! :flowerforyou:

HRM and Les Mills classes
Anybody have an HRM and do Les Mills classes? I do a lot of BodyCombat, Sh'bam, BodyPump, and CXWorx at my local gym. I know everyone is different, but I'm really curious to see how many calories people are burning in these classes. There are calorie burn estimates on the Les Mills website, but some of them seem a little…

For parents with little ones...
Check out the link below for some exercises and stretches to do with your baby/toddler. It may not be the same as an hour at the gym, but it's definitely better than doing nothing! http://www.thedailygreen.com/living-green/related/mom-baby-exercises-0811#slide-1

Am I doing this right?!?
I'm sure this kind of question gets asked all the time, but I read through the message boards and couldn't find a post that made it clear to me (maybe I'm just really slow on this). I read "In place of a road map" with the TDEE and BMR calculator. According to that, my BMR is 1450 and my TDEE is 2592. If I subtract 20%…

TDEE...BMR...H-E-L-P
I see people tossing out "TDEE" and "BMR" and I don't really know what they mean, how to calculate mine, and how they should impact my daily habits. Can anybody give me a crash course?

Seeking friends for accountability and motivation!
I've been using the my fitness pal app on my phone for 2 weeks, and I've lost 8lbs (woot! woot!) I just got on the website today to set up a profile and seek out some community. I'd love to connect with some other women with similar goals. I plan to lose another 67lbs (75 in total), and I'm super-committed to not quitting!…
