Calories burned
Curious about something. How accurate is MFP with the calories burned, providing I'm honest about my exercise? I ask because the machine says I burned about 500 calories LESS than what MFP says I've done.

OUCH!!!
So I started lifting, to tone arms/legs. I'm SO SORE. I know it will pass, but it makes it hard to lift 2x a week, when I am so sore I can barely lift my arms over my head.

Using the weight machines at the gym
NO idea how to even go about this. The trainer wants money I don't have, so that isn't going to work.

New to weight loss
Good afternoon! My name is Kara. Just got back from the doctor. I've gained 10 lbs in the last 3 months, and that is unacceptable to me. Doc suggested this site for help.

Giving up SODA!!
Anyone else doing this? HOW? I'm so addicted to the caffeine I get massive migraines when I try to quit cold turkey. I'm going to try the Crystal Light energy packets that you add to water. They are just 5 calories and have a little caffeine, so I'm hoping it will help. If you have any other tips, let me know please!
