Hi All, I've recently come back to the MFP site because I have fallen off the wagon and have put back on 15lbs. I had lost 54 lbs over between 2013-2015, but with the death of my father and a change in jobs, I somehow lost my determination and my willpower since July. I'm trying to get back on track and I noticed that MFP…

50lbs Down - Round 2
Hi Everyone, Just want to start off by saying I'm 50lbs down since January 2013.

For the last few weeks, my weigh tloss has been very sluggish. I have kept to the same type of diet and am wondering now if I need to…

HRM/Polar FT7 Question re: weightlifting
Quick question. Just tried my new Polar FT7 HRM today. Burnt 417 on a 30 minute elliptical. I know I have to eat all of those back. Just for fun, I used it to watch how many calories I burnt during my 45min weightlifting session. Now, that was trickier cause it was pause and go... pause and go. Not sure how accurate it…

I truly struggle hitting my protein goals on a daily basis. Right now my goal is around 30% protein. I take a protein shake once a day, but really struggle with what to bring to work to eat.

Multi-Vitamins & Supplements
I am currently taking the Animal Pak Multi-Vitamin (http://www.animalpak.com/store/html/packaging_image.cfm?id=14). I like it because it includes other supplements besides just a multi. I lift weights 3-4 days a week for 30-40 mins so I am not really body-building. Just trying to stay in shape. My question is, #1 is Animal…
