Calories upped in mfp
I recently changed my profile to only lose .5lb per week because I'm roughly 15lbs away from goal. I was eating 1300-1500 for a while, then upped to 1500-1650. Now I'm at 1880 without exercise obviously. I train 6 days a week (3 days weight training with a little cardio and then things like kickboxing, spinning, lower body…

Switching from circuit cardio workouts to weight training
So, I'm working with a friend who is a personal trainer on getting me into Weight training. I've hit a huge plateau after losing 76lbs (still have 10-15 more to go) and even though I strength train, it's time for something way different. My problem is that I feel like I need more cardio and he is telling me to back off of…

Still a little to lose, but working up to maintenance mode
I decided when I hit 10lbs to my goal number, I'd start adding a little more to my calories everyday so as not to shock my system. I've lost almost 75lbs, I was around 1300-1500 calories per day, and not eating my exercise calories back while losing. I've upped my calories to between 1500 and my mfp number of 1630 (set to…

Garmin vivosmart help!
I just got a vivosmart to replace my old fr60. It works great as an HRM, but when I complete my workout and sync my workouts always default to "running". I change it in Garmin connect, but it never changes in mfp. Is there any way to get it to change from running to whatever I set it to in Garmin connect? I don't even know…

Calorie cycling help
hi all. I seem to be getting stuck a lot in my weight loss. Im down 52lbs just about and I just seem to be stuck in the lower 190's. I do a lot of different workouts to keep my body guessing and all of that. I've tried less calories (1200-1400), higher calorie (1500-1800) and all of that and nothing seems to be working to…

Gained a couple pounds, lost inches
sigh. I started my journey at 244 after having my daughter. Got down to 193.7 May 24th. I've been between 194 and 197 ever since. Measured myself this morning and I've lost 3.25" overall. So frustrating when the scale is up, but inches are coming off. Don't know why, but the number means more to me. Especially since that…

Halfway to my goal!
i was 155 4 years ago, then about 20lbs kind of just came back because I got lazy. Then, I got pregnant in 2013 and really packed on the pounds. I was bed ridden a lot of my pregnancy unfortunately and needed quite a few months of PT after I had my daughter. I worked really hard to get back to being strong, and right now…

Does anyone else keep plateauing with the total body workouts?

Jillian michaels various workouts, bob Harper, etc.) and I keep plateauing even though each workout I do is different and causes me to be sore. I change it up with more cardio centric workouts like kickboxig, biking, speed walking, etc. but my cake says the se…
