Snowboarding...
Anyone snowboard? I have a chance to go with my school to a place to go snowboarding/skiing. Aside from the 65 bucks they want, I'm a bit unsure if I'd be able to due to my weight. I've always ALWAYS wanted to try it but never have because of being overweight. I have this fear like I'll get on a board and just not move,…

Polar Calories Reading...
Hello. I got a Polar FT7, had it now for about a week and a half. Now I knew that the heart rate monitor and the machines at the gym were going to not be correct, and be off. I was surprised by how much the heart rate monitor differed from the machine, but I just figured it was was it was... that big of a difference.…

Places to stay in Florida...
So who is going to get on a plane even though they are deathly afraid of flying? ME. That is if I can find a place to stay for a week, possibly March 16-24. My birthday is the 23rd and I don't really wanna fly on my birthday... I'm already gonna be freaked out enough as it is. I'll be of course in the Orlando area (I'd…

Question about a weight workout plan...
I started a few weeks back using the various weight machines at the gym. I do not feel comfortable with free weights, as I already don't know what I am doing with the machines. I set up a new routine for me, that took about 60 minutes to get through. To those who know about these things, does this seem ok? Not enough? Too…

Setting your goals... long term vs short term?
Lets say you got 100+ to lose. Should you set your goal to that? Or should you set it lets say 30 below what you are now, and then when you hit that, set it to another 30 etc. Is there any difference? Do you think setting a closer goal is better than a larger goal? Thoughts? Suggestions?

PAC-12 2013
Ok, so let me start off with saying I know NOTHING about football, aside from you run with the ball, and people get slammed into. I go to ASU. Tickets were $12, and everyone is saying how big this game is, etc. etc. I thought, ok, I can do this, I can get out of my comfort zone and go... even though I'll be alone... and…

Help with figuring out a good calorie deficient.
Ok so I have been stuck at my current wait for some weeks now. I mentioned in a status on my profile page that MFP LOWERED my calories when updating my weight. But some people said that I may not be eating enough, as mentioned in another thread in a group I am part of. Someone said that MFP maybe is not giving me a…

Longer or shorter workouts?
So I have a question here on how long you should work out. I currently have MFP settings set as working out for 5 days a week, for 35 minutes, but I have been doing at least 5 days for 60-65 minutes. I know of course you will lose more calories in 65 minutes than 35, but in terms of ones body, of losing pounds, what is…

Hello... new person...
Hi, my name is Jess. I have had this app on my phone now for about 2 weeks or so, and only now just realized there was a website and a community, blogs, etc. Totally missed that, until I noticed it updating or syncing and I was like, "what are you syncing to?" And then saw the small note on the bottom listing the website…

Stationary Bike VS Treadmill
Today I went to my schools gym for the first time. I used the treadmill for about 35 minutes (had to get to class so had to have time to shower), and I burned it says about 180 calories for 35 minutes. After class I went back and used a stationary bike, the lower smaller ones, I believe they are referred to as Recumbent…

Figuring out calories burned...
Is this good to figure out calories burned from walking? I am using this. http://www.calories-calculator.net/Calories_Burned_By_Heart_Rate.html I check my heart rate about 4 times through out my nightly walk. Its not a high tech watch, so you have to manually check it by using your fingers and the little metal plates on…
