Rest days
How often are rest days recommended? I know you're supposed to let your muscles recover but I'm a bit confused - some programs say rest every 3rd day, some say rest every 7th ... I've tried listening to my body but then I end up resting for a whole week. I mainly do Jillian Michaels workouts, Zumba and walking, and I'm…

NSV - how to impress the kids
10kg and several rounds of Jillian Michaels ago, I couldn't do a push up to save myself. On my knees, I could get halfway down but it was a struggle. Last night my kids walked in while I was doing push ups ... real push ups: 'Whoa mum, you are awesome at those" "When did you learn to do those mum" "I wish I could do push…

How are you doing?
I don't know about anybody else, but this workout schedule is HARD WORK! I can't believe it's the end of the month and I'm only halfway through the thing. Admittedly I've had a lot of days off sick/busy/etc...which is not helping me reach my goals any time soon. To those of you who are still going - well done and keep up…

Introduce yourself
Hi I'm AJ. I'm 38 and overweight (obese actually according to my bmi). I started on MFP at the end of March 2013 and discovered Jillian Michaels.

Goals / progress
What are your goals for the month of June? I would LOVE to lose 3kg (I've lost 7 in 2 months and 1 week so I don't think 3 is unreasonable) - really I just want my ticker to reach double digits :laugh: I want my favourite pair of jeans to be appropriate for public wear. When I joined MFP I couldn't get them on past my…

Who uses Runtastic?
Is there anybody here who uses Runtastic? I downloaded it last weekend and I like how it maps the route with speed and cals etc and syncs to MFP. Do you find it accurate? I've been quite pleased until yesterday. I went for a walk - Runtastic said my average speed was 4.6km/h, and however many calories burnt. However ...…

Hello from New Zealand!
Hi everyone. I'm new here, today is my first day and I have to say, the calorie tracker freaked me right out. I'd always thought we ate really well, we never go to places like McDonalds and I cook all our meals at home with lots of veges etc. But I had to really watch what I ate today! I put everything in at the start and…

Green tea - who drinks it?
Just curious about green tea. I've read it's great for weight loss endeavours and I really need a replacement for the coffee I have given up. I despise traditional tea - growing up my mum drank about 50 cups a day, and I had to make most of them, ugh ick ick. So is green tea like traditional tea tastewise/aroma-wise? Or is…
