Is this true?
I toured a gym this weekend and the trainer who gave the tour told me that when you lift weights you continue to burn calories for up to 48 hours after, but if you do cardio you stop burning calories when you stop. Now I know your body always burns some calories, so I assume he means you continue burning more calories…

This is the LAST time
I've gained and lost weight several times, just like a lot of people on here. I tried it on my own, done WW and joined MFP several years ago, lost weight and promptly put it back on. This time is different, I'm doing it the right way. My work offers a free program that consists of working with a nurse practitioner,…

Opposite problem than others:(
I seem to have just the opposite problem of most people on this site. My weight is consistently going down each week by a pound or two, but my waist measurement is the same! I haven't even lost 1/4 inch in several weeks. I'm exercising 5-6 times a week, both cardio and lifting. My clothes are looser, even around the waist,…

Community gym or join Genesis gym?
After reading about strength training and how important it is, I'm ready to make the commitment, but I have a dilemma...do I go to the community gym that is free or do I join a commercial gym? Now it may seem like a no brainer, go the free route, but I'll list the pros and cons and you can help me decide. Or maybe just…

NSV June 23, 2013
This week I had two major NSVs 1. I was able to wear a pair of capris that I haven't worn for over two years! I haven't lost that much weight, because I'm pretty sure I still weigh more than I did then, but I've lost inches. They were even a little big in the waist! 2. On my walk this morning, I actually ran and for decent…

NSV June 17, 2013
My NSVs for the week! My "tight" jeans are so tight anymore. I'm actually starting to look forward to exercise. I don't ache when I get out of bed in the morning. My daughter said my face is looking thinner. What are yours?

My hips don't move that way!
My daughter is a Zumba instructor and she's been bugging me to give it a try. Well, I had the weekend free so I decided to spend the time with her. She talked me into doing Zumba at home with just the two of us. Well....my hips don't move that way! I had seen bits and pieces of her training videos, but had never tried it…

How to log Jillian Michaels 30 day shred in exercise
I'm fairly new on the site and haven't figured everything out yet. How do you log the 30 day shred in exercise? I tried under both cardio and strength but I couldn't find it anywhere. Do I enter it manually? And do I put it under cardio or strength since it's both. Any help would be appreciated.

VitaCake
I suscribe to Hungy Girl's emails and I saw they were promoting VitaCake. They look really good and I'm a chocoholic. Their "deal" is 48 snack cakes (24 fudgy chocolate, 24 chocolate raspberry), delivered to your door for $34.99, but I don't want to spend that much and get that many if they aren't yummy. So has anyone…

Newbie to MFP
Hi, my name is Lori, I'm 50 and need to lose around 50 pounds...I've really come to not like the number 50! Anyway, when my brother had to have heart surgery a couple of months ago, I realized it was time to do something...that and the fact that I went shopping for something new for my daughter's college graduation and…
