My HRM has hurt my feelings!
So I got a Polar FT4 over the weekend cause I keep reading that MFP is 'A bit generous' with the exercise burn calculations so I thought this would help me be a bit more accurate & ultimately get me achieving goals on schedule. Well the half hour walk & half hour kettlebell routine I was logging into MFP at 2400kjs-ish…

I dont know how the recipe creator works? Help please.
Has anyone used the recipe creator on MFP? I just tried to create a Spag Bol recipe with carrot & zucchini spirals instead of pasta noodles & when Im in the recipe it says its 1077kj for the whole recipe but then when I click save it says that its 4508kg per serve?!! What did I do wrong?

I THINK IM IN LOVE!!!!
With my kettlebell! Since I joined MFP back in Feb I've just been doing cardio to try smash a bit of fat off so I was a bit more comfortable to be able to incorporate other activities into my workout plan. So I can now say that 'I lift heavy things & put them down'. Haha :happy: Doing my kettlebell workouts makes me feel…

Non-runners success with C25K???
Hi All, I am a non-runner (Nope! Never, ever, ever have I been able to run. Anywhere, for any length of time! Seriously!) & I'm now in week 3 of the C25K program. I've not been able to do it in the suggested timeframe of 3 weeks so I'm extending it out a few extra weeks to try & stick with it. If I'm totally honest though…

Can anyone recommend a good Iron supplement?
Hi everyone, I've been taking a supplement for my Iron levels (Iron Melts - also has folic acid, B12 & C in there) for a few months now & its been great. I've been feeling so much better compared to what I felt like beforehand BUT (silly me!) I just read the ingredients list on the back & the sneaky rascals have put…

SMALL SUCCESSES
I revelled in a couple small successes yesterday afternoon. Its really cold in wintery here in Wellington at the moment. Its cold even on a sunny day now. In Feb when I started I couldn't even zip my jacket up. Fortunately it was still summery at that point. I put this on my list of goals... 'To be able to zip my jacket up…

Timing for exercises??
Hey peeps, I don't really fancy getting up in the morning to do exercise so I've been doing it in the afternoons. 6 days a week. Only cardio stuff at the moment but I want to add in some weights. I was thinking of doing this in the mornings but I wasn't sure if that's good or if it matters when?? So currently my workouts…

This is my Jam!!
What's your favourite motivational song/track? I have different ones I like for different tasks but my favourite at the moment is Iggy Azalea - Impossible is Nothing! I blast it on the days when I get home and feel like I just cant be bothered (because the finish line seems a long way off some days) but I get my gym…

THE SECRET TO MY SUCCESS & THE REASON FOR MY SET-BACKS
I had an epiphany last night... I figured out how I've managed to get 16.5 weeks into this weight-loss/lifestyle change without too many set backs. I do well when I stop feeling sorry for myself. Can the self pity! None of this 'Ohhh its too hard' or 'Ohhh I hate that I'm so fat' or 'Poor me!' Every time I've stopped to…

Hangry too often!
Hi All, I find it REALLY hard to stay under my 5024kj (1200cal) allowance on the 1 day a week that I don't exercise (usually Monday). Any hints or tips? I've had a few rough/bad weeks but today I'm on track eating well again & I've added in all my meals & snacks for the day & I'm 797kjs over. If I eat less than that I get…

Different Aps = Different Kjs burned??
Hi Everyone, I'm still fairly new to MFP but I've linked up my 'Map My Fitness' account & my 'C25K - Trainer' account to my MFP account & I just have a question about the Kjs burned for each workout in each different Ap. I assume automatic calculation on MFP Kjs burned is fairly accurate seeing as I have loaded in my…
