5 lbs to go
Ok, I have 5 lbs left to lose. From what I have read here, the weight loss really begins to go slowly at this point. I have had my goal set at 1 lb loss per week since I started MFP. Should I now change it to 1/2 lb and up my calories? I have been stalled for a couple of weeks. Any advice is appreciated. :)

Day 6 and zero loss
This weight loss thing seems so simple... Eat less & move more. So that's what I've been doing for 6 days now and I see zero results on the scale. I have to wonder if I'm doing this right, but how could I screw up something as simple as just eating less and moving (exercising) more??

Are there any HRMs that don't require a chest strap or a sat
Bought a Garmin Forerunner a few weeks ago and have become very very frustrated trying to use it. The whole time I'm at my gym this thing sits there saying "locating satellites" and will NOT record anything I do! Note that inside the gym it is practically impossible to get a cellphone signal, so I am sure this is why it…

Added this to my protein shake today
i was mixing up my protein shake in the blender earlier & suddenly I had an idea to add a tiny bit of coconut extract to it. I just happened to have some on hand. I had already put in a sliced banana also, and the coconut extract made it taste much like a pina colada! It was sooo good! My protein shake was vanilla flavor.…

Can I really trust the calorie computation on the treadmill?
I have to wonder if it's completely accurate. That is why I make a point to always eat under my calorie goal by 100-200 calories a day. But if it is accurate, and I am eating under my goal and go into the "starvation mode", I am not doing myself much good. Any thoughts on this?

Abdominal cramping while running
I have been running for several years, but just got into running competitively over the past 6 months. I have done several 5K races and I have been training hard in the past month to improve my time. Things have went well. Until yesterday. About 8 minutes into my run, I began to have the most horrible abdominal cramps. The…

I have no clue how many calories are in some foods
Today I had lunch in a non-chain restaurant, so I couldn't look up any of their items online anywhere. They didn't give any info at all on how many ounces I was getting of this particular food either. So I don't really know how to properly log this meal in today's diary. I had a grilled tuna wrap, and although I can look…

Excited to find this site!
Hello all! I am really excited to have found this website and the application for my iPhone.
