You guys are amazing and I'm lucky to have you as friends. I started MFP after seeing pictures of myself from spring break. I had been in school…

Should I change my activity level for the summer?

Body Fat
Hey! Do any of you regularly test your body fat? If so, how? Calipers at home, gym, bio-electrical impedance? I have had my body fat tested through the impedance at my gym, but it came up with a really low number, ~17% and I know my bf isn't that low. I recently bought myself a pair of calipers and tried them out. This…

I rarely eat out and generally eat lots of fruits and veggies. All that being said, I am aware that I've gone under 1200 a couple of days when I worked out in the evening…

Biggest Loser Workout DVD question
I've been working out with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD and Boot Camp DVD. How would I log that in exercise? I logged it as circuit-basic, but the calories burned seems really high. Have any of you used them? And how did you log it?
