INSANITY
Doing an Insanity class at the gym tonight... 30 minutes, no clue which workout. Trying to figure out how to enter it. I don't have my HRM with me, and I'm not SUPER concerned with getting the exact calorie burn, just a general estimate. I'm female, 5'6", about 150 lbs, and haven't worked out since June-ish (had a baby in…

Hot Yoga/Hot Hatha?
does anyone know the difference between hot yoga, hatha yoga, hot hatha, and bikram yoga? i have been doing hot hatha pretty regularly, and i don't know how many calories to enter for it. i thought about wearing my hrm, but thought it would slip around due to sweat and be distracting. mfp calculates 184 calories for a 75…

I AM NOT LOSING WEIGHT!
I am 5'6", 128 pounds. I was at 123 before Christmas, and stopped MFP for the holidays. I would like to get back down to where I was, but the scale is not budging. I work out 2-5 times a week moderate/high impact most of the time, sometimes just a walk or elliptical. I don't always eat back my exercise calories, but that…

Heart Rate Monitor Accuracy
I am concerned that my HRM is not calculating my burned calories accurately. I used to have a SportLine Duo, and it would calculate ~410 calories/class for a Turbo Kick class. I got rid of that one when I thought I didn't need it anymore, and put some weight back on. I decided I wanted another one, and did some research,…

Heart Rate Monitors- How accurate are the calories burned?
I got a heart rate monitor watch w/ chest strap, and it is telling me I only burn 400-ish calories in an hour of intense kickboxing. It just doesn't seem accurate to me. An hour of medium intensity on an elliptical machine, when I program in my weight/sex/age, it tells me that I burn closer to 800-1000 range. What's up…

When to stop logging?
I have been a member of MFP since February. I did not have much to lose, and in fact have lost more than I planned. I feel great, I look great, and I feel confident that I have altered my eating and exercise habits enough to keep up with it on my own... or at least I'd like to think I'm confident! The problem is, I think…

HIT A WALL! Please help!
I started at 135, and am currently at 125. My lowest weight was 123, and I am now back up to 125. I don't know what happened. I have been staying under my calorie goal (1200/day- I've been going over my calories in, but burning off the extra so my net stays under my goal). My goal is to reach 120. I am wondering, though,…
