Been here a year, seen to have lost the support of MFP frien
It seems that over the last few months most of the people of my friends list have stopped being supportive. I always comment on people's status updates, calorie burns, and completing their diary. I am just looking for some people who to replace the ones that have either quit or became to busy to get on mfp. Thanks.

This story represents everything I have learned on MFP. I hope it inspires some people and helps you realize that sometimes you have to eat more to lose weight. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/22/kim-focused-on-healthy-choices-and-lost-100-pounds_n_930927.html?icid=main|hp-laptop|dl4|sec1_lnk3|222700

Half way there

People going way under on calories
Some of my mfp friends complete their diaries with only like 600-1000 calories eaten. Some of them exercise and don't even eat 1200 calories. I will not say wtg or good job if they did not eat atleast 1200 calories before exercise. I am not talking about one or two days here, more like all the time. Would it be rude of me…

Groceries

I really can't afford to spend this much but I do. I like to try new recpies and not eat chicken and veggies every night. It…

What is going on???
This week I did Zumba 2 times, Kettlebell class 1 time, and went to the gym and did my own workout one time. I bured 2257 calories from exercise ( I have a Polar hrm so I know this is correct) and I had a calorie deficit of 850 a day, so 5950 for the week. This is a total of 8,207 calories. That should equal a loss of 2.3…

Polar In zone
So I worked out with my polar today and when I was done I saw that I was only in my zone for like 13 min out of 60. I was out of zone because my heart rate is higher not lower. I like to push myself and put it on a high resistance. I feel like when I am keeping in between 140 and 160 ( I think that is what it is) it is to…

Billy Blanks Basic Traning
I just bought a Polar today and did Billy Blanks basic training bootcamp dvd for the first time. My Polar said I burned 283 calories in 40 minutes.

Anyone else losing weight they allready lost?
I am upset with myself. From Oct 2009 untill May 2010 I lost 40 lbs. For some reason in May I stopped counting calories and working out and by the end of December I gained 25 of the 40 back. Since I got back on track Jan 3 I lost 11 lbs. I would be so much happier if that 11 was not part of the 25 I gained back. I still…

hrm or wii fit plus?
I am not sure which one would be a better investment. I go to the gym 3 times a week and I was thinking that with Wii git plus I could do my exercises the other days. After reading how great a hrm is I an now wondering if I should spend the money on that instead. Any suggestions?
