Results Question
Curious. Are any of you losing weight at the rate that MFP claims you will by sticking to your calorie goals or is it off? Need the motivation and results! Thanks!!!

zumba in database?
Took a class tonight (my first!) I was definitely not very coordinated, but I did feel like I got a pretty decent workout. However, I can't seem to figure out a way to enter it. Does anyone have an idea?

restaurant food question
Hi, I was just wondering----I started a new job today and will be going out to lunch for the next few days (including today). Most of the restaurants are not chains and therefore their menus are not listed on this site. Do you typically just try and guess based on another item that sounds similar? (And yes, I know this is…

Wedding Dress Shopping Led to BAD Decisions!
I really really messed up over the past 2 days. Wedding dress shopping for the first time (eye opening, and depressing! Couldn't look at anything but my big arms!) and then wine, sushi, more wine with my friend I haven't seen in months....wake up moderately hung over yesterday, then spent all day last minute Christmas…

Feeling Awful/Serious Regret!

snowboarding/skiing
Just wondering about how you should properly log this. I didn't go for too long today, plus we were on the chair lift for part of the time-and even so, I don't feel like I am burning as many calories as say, when I run. I still don't have a hrm, so that isn't an option. Thoughts? Thanks!

1200 calories
Just wondering how many people are on a 1200 calorie plan and if they find it difficult or not? I am also doing a no dairy/no sugar/no gluten/processed food diet so it might attribute to the lethargy. I accidentally had a soy chai latte today because I forgot about the sugar thing (however sugar can come from fruit and…

logging certain exercises
Is there a way to add speeds/uphill paces for a treadmill on the MFP? For instance, if I walked uphill on the treadmill at a 5% incline at 4.0, I have no way of calculating that. Also, the calorie count on the treadmill seems off from the MFP, although I am trying to guesstimate my actual exercises (I know I was on it for…

GNC 14 Day Cleanse
Just wondering if anyone has done it, and what their results were? And if so, good recipe/menu ideas?

Hallux Rigidus, please help!
Hi, I don't know where is appropriate to post this, and it really isn't directly related to weight loss (mine is hereditary/genetic), but I have been having excruciating pain in my big toes and finally saw a doctor. I have beginning of stage 3 in one foot and stage 2 in the other, and have developed bone spurs. He…

Need to Get Back Into This!
Argh! I totally neglected MFP probably around late July. It is now end of October and I have GAINED about 10lbs (and I had probably only lost about 5 to begin with). Vacations happened, moving to a new town, looking for a new job and getting engaged have all happened since then, so it was very easy to slack. However, and…

recipes on this site?
Am I missing a link to healthy recipes on this site? If I go to food and type in something, several items might pull up but no link to the actual recipes. Does anyone have advice? Thanks!

Pizza?
I ran and burned over 600 calories today, ate a pretty healthy breakfast and an apple so far today. My bf wants to order pizza (I have been cooking healthy the entire week, I think he (who has weight to gain, not lose, haha) wants to indulge a little. I have over 1100 calories left on the day. Is it terrible to consume…

Eating before working out
especially first thing in the morning? Is it fine to go on an empty stomach and start working your metabolism or is it better to get something in your system?

Ate most of my calories already-advice?!
So I only have 183 calories left for the day. I haven't worked out yet, and this is "my" Friday as I don't have a normal schedule. I am exhausted after a very long work week. I didn't pack my gym clothes today because i thought I would go home and go for a run, only it is pouring outside......I can't seem to motivate to…

bites of food
Just wondering how you would log literally a "bite" of food, esp from a restaurant when you can't add the exact calories? I work in a restaurant and we have to "taste" specials-I had a very tiny amount of each today, but what I entered even seems high. Thanks!

is there a way to browse recipes on this site?
Please help, i can't find one-thanks! BTW, looking for a good use of eye of round that doesn't take 4 hours. Thanks!

Strength training/burning calories?
just wondering why this is telling me that none of my strength training is burining calories? Where I have entered it there is just a dash. Anyone else encounter this?

people that have lost 15 or more pounds
Just wondering if you did it by sticking to MFP alone or you used other weightloss techniques/programs? Sometimes peoples' tickers say SW is one thing and then the MFP starting weight is much lower. Just trying to gain feedback. I still haven't lost a pound, so its frustrating. I know I had a few mess up days but also had…

protein calories
Apparently I am already over on my protein for the day. Is this a bad thing? It has all been very lean & healthy, but I'm not sure what to eat for the rest of the day now! I am pretty hungry (still have 756 calories remaining, and have yet to go to the gym (but will)). How many of you stay in the exact amount for…

treadmill vs elliptical
I was just wondering if anyone felt that the elliptical was not as beneficial as the treadmill. I can stay on the elliptical for a long time and be sweaty but still not feel like I did as much as if I were to do even 15-20 mins on a treadmill. I will burn around 500 calories or so after 45 mins, but it doesn't feel like…

Is it worth it?
Again, I went over my calories with the holiday and birthday celebrations. Although I am getting depressed, I still want to do this. I know I went WAY over my calories yesterday and just wondering if it is worth it to log the calories? A lot of food I have eaten in the past few days has been from going out to dinner (at a…

argh! I do well and then blow it.
Advice???? Its hard when you live with someone who doesn't need to diet in the least. I try to cook but when we are exhausted after long days of work and early morning the next day (yes, I am in an industry where holidays don't exist for the employees :) , it is difficult to get to the store, do the dishes that were…

sparkling water?
I drink a lot of sparkling water-with no sodium. Just wondering if this still causes bloating? I also drink a lot of regular water as well. Thanks!

Sodium tracking
just wondering if there is a way to do this via mfp or is it something you all track separately? And how much is the daily allotted amount? Thanks!!!

Help, GAINED weight!
I went camping the past few days and last night had pizza and ice cream cake for my boyfriend's birthday. I am kicking myself but in 3 days went over my calories by about 1500. However, even at the end when I click on "complete entry" it still tells me I would be on the path of losing "if I ate like this every day"----just…

weight watchers vs myfitnesspal?
I joined WW a little over a year ago. I lost a few pounds, then a vacation happened, winter happened and I, essentially, got lazy and stopped doing it. However I have been continuing to pay $15/month for a membership because i keep thinking I will motivate and go back, and also use the recipes every so often. I found this…

HIT workouts? curious
I just wanted to know what exactly that was referring to. Is it when you sprint for a bit, walk fast, then slow kind of work out? If it is constantly changing your effort, I was wondering how you all do this on a treadmill----I try to do something similar, but I find when I am sprinting it difficult to adjust the…

finding exercise/calories burned on MFP?
I am slightly new here-I couldn't find a way to log some of my exercises into the database. For instance I ran at 6.8 MPH, 8.0 MPH and walked uphill at 4.2, but couldn't figure out a way to log that. Does anyone have advice? Also as far as weight training is concerned, does it just lump everything together? Thanks-I just…
