Weight training - retaining water?
I am 5'2, 34, and was currently at 134lbs. Trying to lose about 10lbs by summer. I am trying to stay at about 1400 net calories each day. I did the TDEE and it is about 1800 each day, BMR is about 1370. I was doing my elliptical daily, but now I just started doing strength training this past week. I am doing about 25…

No progress after 1 month on here.
I am 5'2, 34, and have been stuck at 135lbs for the past 6 months. 6 weeks ago I started working out on my elliptical 30 min per day 5 days per week. 1 month ago I joined MFP and have been logging my calories on top of working out. I added weight training this week. Last week I got down to 132.7. This week back up to…

What's the best weekly routine?
I'm trying to figure out an exercise routine. I work out at home so I'm somewhat limited. I have an elliptical, 3lb weights and 10lbs weights. So would I benefit most from doing my elliptical day 1, then weight training only on day 2, and then alternating this throughout the week? (I do take one day off to rest.)

Anyone use Daily Burn?
Just saw their commerical. $10 a month seems pretty cheap for all the different exercises they offer. I prefer to workout at home and I have a smart tv. Just wondering if anyone uses this - pros/cons?

Greek Yogurt
I don't understand the new craze with this. Am I the only one that hates Greek yogurt? To me it tastes like fruit flavored sour milk. Yuck.

Does time of day matter for exercise?
I usually work out mid morning, halfway in between breakfast and lunch. But would I burn more calories/ fat if I worked out first thing in the morning before any food? I'm usually starving so I can't see myself doing a really good workout on an empty stomach. But I welcome any advice or opinions on this. Thanks!

Getting discouraged....
I've been using my elliptical 30 minutes per day, 4-5 times per week for 4 weeks now. I have barely lost 1 lb. I've been eating healthier and logging all my calories on here for the past 2 weeks. I drink lots of water and overall I'm feeling stronger and healthier. I just don't get why the scale isn't moving???

Running Shoes???
I just signed up for my very first 5k this summer. I have been very anti-running all my life, so I am very excited to finally want to do something like this. I have been using an elliptical 5 days a week, and as soon as the snow melts around here, I'm going to start jogging outside. But, I have no idea what kind of running…

Dealing with temptations...
So how does everyone deal with daily temptations? Like today is V day, so there is candy and chocolate everywhere. I'm not much into sweets, but I love ice cream. And alcohol.....I admit it, I love beer, vodka, wine - all in moderation of course, but lots of empty calories. I've been on this new fitness thing since Feb…

New - Why are the last 10lbs so hard?
I had a baby last Feb, and now that the 1 year mark is creeping up, I am finally motivated to get off my butt and get rid of the last 10lbs of baby weight. I am 34yo, 5'2 and currently 134lbs. My goal weight is 125, which was where I was pre-baby and it was easy to maintain just with diet. I am currently doing the…
