Been offered an hours free PT
I'm pretty comfy with my cardio knowledge I think. What should I ask him? He deals with all aspects (including diet) of weight loss and fitness, he's already taken the time to show me some of the free weights and a couple of the machines. I want to try and cram as much in to the hour as possible as long as I can retain the…

Finally got around to changing my goals.
When I first started my weight loss journey (can I still call it a journey if it seems to be taking FOREVER?) I plucked a number from thin air and announced that was my UGW. Now I've looked at it in more detail I've figured out a number (scales I know, tut tut) that I'd be completely happy with. So I've changed my goal and…

I am so confused
So I eat about 1470kcals a day. Sometimes I eat about half my exercise calories back (because I'm not overly confident in mfp burn totals) but most of the time I don't bother as I'm not always hungry. I weigh and measure my food and create my own recipes. I count sauces, butters, oils, drinks, everything that goes in. I…

Really proud of myself
I joined the gym 4 weeks ago and I've really been enjoying it. I had a peep in the weights room a few time but felt really intimidated so walked straight back out. Today it was really quiet there was no one in the weights room so I did a bit of cardio and then asked one of the instructors to help me out. He was really…

3 week gym progress
I joined the gym 3 weeks ago and I have been 4-5 times per week. First week I lost 1.6lb, Second week I lost 2.6lb, third week I GAINED 1.2lb. I weigh and log all my food and drinks with calories. I knew the time would come where I got an unexplained gain so I dug out my tape measure instead. In just those 3 weeks I've…

I started the gym 1.5 weeks ago
At the moment I'm finding that I'm just going with the flow. Doing what I feel like doing at the time rather than having a set plan/routine for my workout. I am aiming to try and go 5 times a week (so far so good) Should I have a plan? I mainly go in the mornings and sometimes it's pretty busy and I end up having to wait…

So hungry today
I had a bad day yesterday, I drew a line and started again today but I am so so hungry. I have eaten so much fruit and veg today in order to stop me picking but my stomach is still growling. I'm drinking water like it's going out of style aswell so I know I'm not thirsty. I'm resorting to a glass of diet coke (I dont…

How important are rest days?
I do some weights (not overly heavy duty or anything) but I've read so many people saying about rest days are they important and how many should you have a week? TIA

Logging exercise
What do you put sit ups and such like under? I couldn't find them in the list. I'm probably just being daft :huh: :blushing:

Myth or not?
When I used to "diet" before I started my life style change, I used to be an incredibly fussy eater. I would have the same thing for breakfast every morning and the same thing for lunch and my dinner would vary between chicken or fish and veg. Everyone used to tell me that eating like that would mean that my body would get…

Are there any good wii fitness games?
I'm limited to exercising at home at the moment so I was wondering if there were any wii fit games that were any good? Possibly ones the kids can enjoy with me on a smaller scale as they dont tend to leave me alone for working out haha :laugh:

Weights
Ok so I started off on the lightest weights I have. I managed to grab a couple of minutes whilst the kids were otherwise occupied and I did 20 x bicep curls 20 x front elevations and 30 x side elevations (Yes I know that isn't a lot). Should I be doing that more than once a day? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition…

I think I need to re look at what I'm doing!
I am getting so frustrated, with food, with exercise and most of all myself. Nothing I do seems to be getting me in the right direction at the moment, I'm not losing weight, I'm not losing inches the only things I'm losing is patience and my mind! I eat roughly 1200 calories (I may eat a couple of exercise calories back if…

New to the message boards.
Hi everyone, I've been doing MFP for over a year and I can't believe I've only just realised there are message boards on here. Usually I just use the App on my phone. Anyway I thought I'd pop on and say hello. My name is Katie and I'm 30. Over a year ago my friend posted a picture of me on facebook and I barely recognised…

Calorie intake and BMR
Ok since I've been doing this on my own for so long I dont know much about BMR. So I toddled along and calculated my BMR. I've been eating 1200-1300cals for months and months (whether I exercise or not) unless I'm having a treat day etc. My BMR is 1545cals. Can someone point me to a good site that gives proper information…
