Walking/running calories
Hi all I'm not fit enough yet to run continuously so I am doing a brisk walk for 1-2mins and then run/jog for 1min. I understand that there are formulas for calculating calories burned while walking, and separately for running, but does have anyone have advice for when it is a mixture? I can't even work out how many…

1200 cals for all loss rates??
Hi I am 28yrs old, female, 5'2. 140lbs. I want to get to 126lbs. I would say I am sedentary. I work at a desk all day, and don't do exercise in the evenings (although this will eventually change.) I set my loss rate to 2lbs a week originally and got given 1200 cals. I thought this might be a bit extreme loss as I've not…

Calorie goal??
Hi I am really confused so I was wondering if anybody could help. I am 28yrs old, female, 5'2, 140.2lbs. Goal weight is 126 lbs. As I am so small height wise, MFP gives me 1200cals a day for 1lb weight loss, and 2lb weight loss. Apparently according to another calculator, my TDEE is 1535, so losing 2lb a week would mean I…

Hello from the UK!
Hi all I've rejoined MFP after a year of not tracking what I eat at all. I moved in with my partner and we basically ate the same thing, same portion sizes etc so I've out on some weight! I don't have much to lose, I'm 28yrs old, female and 141lbs. Aiming to get to 126lbs as a start, and see how I feel then. This time last…

Activity level
So sorry to ask the question you will have answered a million times. I've been on MFP for about 5/6 weeks now and worked out my TDEE but used sedentary as my activity level and just added back exercise calories. In those 5 weeks I've lost 15.8lbs. Which is great, and I know probably mostly water weight, but I think it's a…

Where to start?
Hi all, I'm new to the group and keen to get started on the workouts on YouTube! I am currently doing 30 Day Shred, 15 days to go! Level 2 has a lot of plank stuff and I'm worried by seeing how sore everyone is after the vids that it will make 30DS too hard if I'm sore? Would it be best to start now and do it straight…

Calves becoming very sore
I'm on day 4 of 30DS. After yesterday I felt very sore in my calf. Almost felt as if it was bruised just below where the bigger bit of your calf muscle is, felt as if it was going to get cramp. I did todays workout, but after doing the jump rope cardio bit both calves felt the same, as if I was going to get cramp. it's a…

Could anyone take a look at my diary :)
Hi, I'm trying to make as many healthy changes as I can. However, I get to around 8pm and find I still have 200-300, sometimes 400 calories left, and as I don't want to be under, I find myself eating a chocolate bar to get it to my limit. I think I'm overdoing the carbs as well, and even with the chocolate not getting to…

runtastic/runkeeper
Hi, I'm at the end of my first week back on the healthy eating. I set my activity level at sedentary as I have a desk job, but I'm adding back my calories from walking. I use runkeeper and runtastic (run both at the same time) to monitor how far I walk. On 4 days it's around 6-7 miles, on the others more like 3-4. I have…
