Returning Back to MFP
I am returning back to MFP after almost a year of being away. We made a move to another state and I started putting my focus on so much to finding a new job that I put my health and fitness on the back burner, and well, my hips and thighs are proof now :/ MFP works because it keeps me on track, committed and if I know how…

Anyone swim with their Polar FT4?
Have owned my Polar FT4 for several years, but haven't tested it out in water yet. We bought an above ground pool this summer and since I have been using it every day for about 4 hours, would really love to give the watch a try, but not at risk of ruining my HRM. Those of you who wear your FT4 in the pool, how long are you…

Insanity Workout- Calories burned
Those of you who are doing Insanity, how many calories per minute are you averaging? This is my third round of it (although I haven't done it at all since Jan) and once again I am only burning about 8 calories a minute :( I see some people get impressive burns and it is depressing when I feel like I am pushing myself as…

Short girls (I mean short.. 5'1" UNDER) Boudoir Outfits?!
Ugh. I am still a few lbs from my goal weight and hating my thighs. No matter how much weight I lose, these things just won't get any slimmer. I am having a very hard time finding a LBD that makes me feel sexy and not short and thick that I can wear for an upcoming boudoir shoot. I also have wide hips and factor that in…

PB & Bacon shake?!!
This sounds soooo good. Although higher in nutrients than I require, I am wondering if there is a way to lighten this up, a lot in my situation. http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2013/08/14/bacon_burger_meal_at_cne_weighs_in_at_whopping_7500_calories.html…

Macros for Lean 90% Ground Top Round?
I am trying to plug in the nutritionals for the raw ground beef I used for dinner (lean 90% ground top round) and not having luck finding something to match it. Not sure if I should just use the nutritionals for when in steak form, but know when ground up it isn't going to have as much fat and what not in it as it will be…

Looking for more information on VI/VF
Hello everyone. I just heard about this program and I have looked at the video on the website, as well as some on YouTube on VI/VF, but I am still confused a bit on what exactly I get for my money, and how much money the program actually is. I don't have access to a gym and do my workouts at home. I mainly have been doing…

Short girls (5'1 & UNDER) who are at or close to goal
I am 4' 11" and no matter how much weight I lose, my stupid thighs are not getting any thinner! They are still 21" :( I didn't want to have to get any lower than 108lbs, but now I am changing my goal weight to 100lbs, but I still don't think that is going to change how thick my thighs are. Curious as to how low in weight…

This is why I get frustrated and don't want to work out
I push and push myself and make sure I stay within heart rate. I just ran for 30mins on treadmill and then did 10 mins on treadmill of HIITs (30sec as 2.5mph with 45sec at 7.5mph). After 40mins of working out I only burned 321 calories! WTF!

To those with Polar FT4

FT40 or FT60
I am considering upgrading my FT4, which I love, but it is older and doesn't have some of the newer features the other watches have. I am looking for opinions from people who have either the FT40 or the FT60, and especially from those who have both, on if you could get only one, which would you go for? I am so torn between…

Soy in products (vent)
Ugh! So sick of so many products having soy in them. Soy lecithin, soy protein, soy isolate, soybeans, soy soy soy!! Products touting themselves as healthy shouldn't have soy in it, especially the soy that is so overprocessed in American (unlike in other countries) that it actually can interfere with your thyroid. Stupid…

Changed goal to TDEE but gained!
Last week I changed my MFP calorie goal to closer to TDEE. Previously my goal was 1200 and I would eat back my exercise calories, at least half of them anyway. Well, last week I went and changed my goal to 1400 to get a little closer to TDEE. I am 4' 11, and 117lbs. I only do T25 workout and maybe once or twice a month…

About Polar Soft Strap
I just bought anew chest strap for my Polar FT4. It is a soft strap, which current strap is not. The instructions do not say anything about wetting this strap before use like my current one does. Does this one not need to be wet to work properly? Thank you.

What is up with underwear from Target and other stores?
I am in size 4, sometimes 6 or even 8 depending on what brand, but most of the time it is a 4. However, when it comes to underwear at stores like Target, Marshalls, TJ Maxx (you know, I just need a couple pairs of underwear that don't cost an arm and a leg store), an XL barely covers my rear end. I am always double…

I can not find nutritionals for an iced french vanilla.

Did I calculate TDEE and my calorie goal correctly
Ok, so I am losing weight just fine on 1200 calories (about 1/2 a week), but I explained to a friend about this TDEE stuff I have been seeing online and we would like to try the TDEE for 30 days to see what the results are like compared to the numbers we have been using from MFP. I am 35 years old, 4' 11" and according to…

Syrup/topping for french toast that is low carb?
I am looking for suggestions on how to lower carb, without being too high in calories, intake on french toast. Once I factor in the bread and the syrup, it is already at 52 carbs. I have been using 100% pure maple syrup as I like to avoid HFCS as much as I can. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

I have been as low as 98lbs (currently at 117) and still those stupid thighs rub together enough to start a fire.
