Reset or start where left off
I know this is a matter of opinion, and there is not right or wrong here, but I wanted to see what others think. I start MFP almost 4 years ago. I did real well with this program and lost 40lbs. I started a new job, and life happened, (lots of life got in the way). Most people when they go off a diet, gain back all they…

goals
I reset my goal and started a new ticker. I don't know how I feel about this, but we shall see. It's weird seing one pound on the left instead of 44. Have any of you done this before? Did it help re motivate you?

persnal trainers
I need some input here. I am thinking there must be an error somewhere, so I am trying not to worry, but I don't want to turn a blind eye and be in denial. I went to a personal trainer last month. He took my weight, my measurements, had the (I think it's a ) caliper thing that pinches and measures your body fat. He went…

NSV TMI
Hope you're not faint at heart, but this is huge to me. Last year when I started this journey I could not run nor do jumping jacks without a little bladder leakage. :blushing: :blushing: I could never understand how people could function while throwing up. I always found when throwing up it comes out at both ends and I…

Tomorrow is my brothers 40th birthday. Yes I am a bit last minute, but I'll leave that for another topic. I need gift ideas. We don't usually exchange gifts but my mom, me and some other family members are taking him out for dinner. I wanted it to be funny, but not crude. Any ideas???

My buggest NSV so far.
OK! There haven't been many NSV's so far, so this is huge. I went shopping yesterday and I wore my jeans. They kept falling down, they were way too big, but it's summer so I haven't noticed it, because I have been wearing shorts. My jeans are a size 16 and when I first started wearing them they were a little snug. So I…

time to get back to it
I have been a slacker. I have not been logging in and counting calories. I started a new job in May and was in training for eight weeks. I had gotten certified and tranfered to my new location and I kept saying I was going to wait until my routine settled in before I stressed over it. I have gone down 10lbs since I started…

work
I need some help with this. I started a new job three weeks ago. My previous job was a desk job. I was sitting on my butt all day. I had my activity level at sedentary and worked out and was doing pretty good. I was so excited to get a new job, that was not a desk job. I am a manager in training at a restaurant. I am on my…

I can't stand it when I'm at the gym working up a good sweat and someone gets on the machine next to me reeking like cigarette smoke. Thanks for letting me vent.

new job
I need some opinions. I currently have a desk job. I lead a very sedentary life. I am interview today for a new job and it is a 4 hour on the job assessment. The new job will have me on my feet the whole time. I am looking forward to working on my feet again. The question is should I count that four hours as exercise…

HRM results.
So I got my HRM today. The 30 Shred; someone said to enter as curcuit training general- Way off- MFP gives me 343 HRM 193. My treadmill was on target though. I walked for 1/2 hr and my treadmill gave me 229 my HRM gave me 217 but I had to reset the HRM at the beginning and it was off by a minute. MFP gave me lower calories…

Greek yogurt
Hi All I am thinking of converting to Greek yogurt. I can't come up with a really good reason to take the plunge. I don't need the extra protied. I alway go over on my protien. I don't need the extra calories- the yogurt I eat has only 80 calories. Greek also costs more. The only thing I can think of that makes it better…

Doing something right.
Last night I was sitting on the couch with my 6 year old and she says to me "I want to do what you do" I asked her what she meant. She said "I want to do what I do to be healthy." I am so glad that she sees it that way, and not, as a diet just to lose weight. I really am trying to change. Then this morning my 4 year old…

I Had a dream last night.
I didn;t know what to put this under. Is funny. When I quit smoking 12 years ago I would get these dreams where I was smoking. I would wake up in the moring and not know if it was a dream or not. I have been doing so good. I have not gone over on my calories once this month. Last night I had a dream I was pigging out on…

fat to muscle is it possible
I know muscle burns more calories that fat and that muscle weighs more than fat. Is it really possible to build a pound of muscle and not burn off a pound of fat while doing so? It just doesn't seem logical with all the energy it takes to build muscle.
