T25 - Looking for some advice
I've been using my treadmill, wii boxing & wii tennis as exercise but I'm thinking about branching out. Obviously these are not high intensity forms of exercise! Has anyone tried the T25 workout? My current weight is 232 so I'm concerned about not being able to make it through the entire workout. I know there is a modifier…

This may sound petty...
Why won't MFP let me shoot for 2 pounds a week anymore? I have my settings set for 2 pounds a week but it now says my projected weight loss is 1.9 pounds a week.

Calorie calculators
I could use a little help in this area. MFP says I should be at 1230 calories a day but that seems low compared to other calorie calculators I've checked out. I upped it to 1400 but it's still a bit low compare to other sites. I do exercise for 30 minutes a day (treadmill) but have a desk job so I pick sedentary. Here is…

Trouble with SUGAR!

If I have 1 fuji apple & 1 banana ( and I do daily) I'm already at 26 so I am going grossly over my sugar number everyday with my regular foods added in.

I'm back again
I've decided that this is it. My time to shine! I'm going to be 40 in July & I want to be FIT at 40 not FAT at 40. I bought a treadmill & have begun walking everyday, I've got myself all set up on here & I'm in the right frame of mind to meet my goal. Like most people, I've tried to lose weight in the past & I've failed.…
