Starting over!
I've been on MFP for years but have totally slipped off the wagon over the last few years. In 2014 I lost over 20kg using MFP and fitbit and starting to go to the gym. As for a lot of people the last few years meant I stopped going to the gym and then couldn't get back into it. This year was a new start. The aim is to get…

MFP and FitBit - activist levels?
How should I set my activity levels when I use a fitbit sync'd to MFP? I have lost almost 40lbs since 01/01/14 but nothing has happened for the last few weeks (in fact it is going up rather than down!) so I want to make sure I have my settings correct! I have MFP activity level set to sedentary and a calorie goal of 1520 a…

Cereal / oat bar recipes wanted
Does anyone have a good tasty and healthy recipe for cereal bars? I've tried searching online but not really come across that many. I saw one that sounded good but it had a number of ingredients that I haven't seen on the shelves in the UK (something to do with marshmallow fluff or sauce or something I can't remember it…

Eating healthy / exercise on transatlantic flight

Ideas for homemade stir fry sauce

I'm in the UK so don't have access to all the US sauce options so I'd like to be able to make them from scratch (obviously using staple…

Rest days
Should I have a rest day from exercise? Over the last week I've been to the gym 5 times and the other 2 days I've done some other exercise. My hamstrings are aching as I've been doing different (and more) exercise than before. I'm wondering if having a day's break from the gym (and maybe just doing some gardening /…

Hello from London
Hi I've been on MFP for a couple of weeks and thought I should introduce myself on here. I'm Nessa, live in London and I'm 37 years old. I've got quite a bit of weight to lose and I'm hoping this site is going to help me get there. My husband is really supportive although he doesn't need to lose any weight so he's eating…

What order to do things in the gym?
Hello This is my first post on MFP. I am doing cardio work at the gym (either treadmill / crosstrainer / bike) and am using the settings for Cardio workout or Fat Loss workout. The machine tries to get heart rate to a certain rate for each of the options. Should I do the Cardio (faster heart rate) or Fat Loss (lower)…
