lifting/toning HELP!
since starting MFP on Monday, I've been going to the gym every day and getting in some great cardio each time. I'd really like to start lifting weights, building muscle, and toning. I'm not necessarily looking to get "ripped" but I'd love to have a strong, tight body. I'd especially like to work on my triceps, abs (I have…

HATE veggies & I don't know how to cook... HELP!
I eat wayyyy too many processed foods. I want to start eating a bit cleaner to get a handle on my sodium and sugar intake, but I really dislike almost all veggies (besides starchy ones like corn and potatoes, of course -_-). I have no problem with fruit, though! I also don't really know how to cook! you think I'd be able…

looking/feeling larger after cardio?
whenever I'm at the gym, I always look in the mirror after my workout and I see myself as larger than I was before my workout. I look bloated/swollen. I also feel a little bigger, as well. is this normal, somewhat? or am I just being stupidly hard on myself?

Polar FT4?! accurate?!
woohoo! just bought the Polar FT4 HRM for women! quite expensive, but I hope it's worth it! I'm curious about its accuracy though. I just completed 50 minutes on the elliptical (hills+ program, level 11) and it says I've burned about 580 calories! I entered all of my information correctly and I'm pretty sure I'm wearing…

I think. well, so far today, I've only eaten 747 calories. I also exercised and burned 483…

exercise times?
hello! I'm curious to see what people have to say about this. is there an "ideal" time of day to exercise? my workout schedule varies often, from afternoon to very late in the evening. does it really matter WHEN you work out?

oh so confused about how many calories to eat!
I am ridiculously confused about how much I should be eating a day. I'm unsure of NET calories, etc. I just signed up this morning, so bear with me! haha when I put in all of my information, MFP set my daily calories at 1,480. is that how much I'm supposed to eat every day? or should I be eating more than that once I…

hi! excited to be here!
hello, all :) I'm Caitlyn. I just turned 22 yesterday, I am 5'2" and I currently weigh 166lbs. ouch. I had been taking Celexa (an antidepressant) for a year and it caused me to gain about 30lbs. I have now been off my medication for 2 weeks and, although I'm feeling great, I'm a bit upset about my new weight. I am…
