1200-1300 calories per day, no weight loss the 2nd week.
I've been strictly adhering to a 1200 - 1350 calorie per day range for the past two weeks. The first week I did log a steady weight loss of about 2lbs like MFP projected. This weekend, after a week of being pretty good, and a tiny cheat day on Friday (though I didn't go over my calories) I've logged a 1.2lb gain and zero…

How often do you weigh in?
After a long hiatus, I'm diving back into MFP hard core - food scale, carrying a set of measuring spoons with me, the works. Just curious - how often do you weigh in? Is there a time of day you prefer? Because I can get obsessive, I've limited myself to first thing Monday/Friday mornings only.

Workout video recommdendations? (Fan of Jillian Michaels routines, looking to mix it up a bit)
I've been doing (and loving) Jillian Michaels videos. I generally do HardBody (45 minutes) on the weekends, and Ripped in 30 or 6 Week 6 Pack during the week (Tuesday -Friday, Monday is rest day). But, after using these videos for a few months they're starting to get a bit stale. Does anyone have any recommendations for a…

Eating back exercise calories made me gain - so confused
So, I wish I could say that the extra 6lbs on the scale didn't bum me out. But they do, and I'm confused about how to make them go away. For the most part, my weight loss has been pretty non-existent. I started at 147lbs and then pretty much stayed there for the entire two months I was logging MFP. I have a desk job, but…

6lbs of water retention? Really?
I know it happens sometimes, especially around that time of the month but 6lbs of water weight seems crazy. On Friday morning I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 145.4. This morning I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 151.2. What the hell... Admittedly, I indulged in St.Patty's celebrating (couple glasses of…

Half Marathon - Training plan recommendations
So, I signed up for a half marathon at the end of May. I've been running for a little more than a year and my current routine is 3 miles 2 - 3 times a week. I know I shouldn't increase mileage too quickly, and that I need to taper before the race - but that's about where my knowledge on the subject end. Can anyone…

What kind of scale do you use?
I'm in the market for a new scale - I noticed my old one is ridiculously off after I put a pair of 5lb weights on it and got different readings each time. Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable and accurate bathroom scale?

How many calories should I be eating?
I don't know if I'm doing this right. Should I be eating up to my daily calorie goal, or should I be aiming to eat a little less? I've only been logging since Sunday, so there's not a whole lot of diary, but if I can get some feedback I'd really appreciate it.

Working on those last few pounds of FAT!
Hi everyone, I just signed up for MFP on Sunday and I must say, you guys have an awesome community here! For the past year or so I've been hovering around the 147 - 149lb mark and can't seem to get off the weight loss plateau. I work out on a pretty regular basis - I trained for and completed a Tough Mudder this past…
