When to Quit
My family as well as my hubby think that I am getting to be too small and that im obsessing over losing another 10-15lbs. I'm 5'8, 159 pounds and about 23-24% body fat. I want to get down to 150 pounds and about 20% body fat. My mid-section is the last thing to go now, and I measure once a week and haven't seen much of a…

L-Carnitine
Awhile ago I purchased some L-Carnitine, they are 750mg per pill, and you take 4 pills a day. I found they gave off a weird body odour so i stopped taking them. Has anyone else here taken them?

MFP Macros
Last summer, I found this nifty little java script that you can install on whatever browser you have so that you can actually input the grams or percentages you calculate from outside Macro calculators instead of using the percentages from MFP:…

My Numbers
Hey y'all! I used to be that person who fell in the eating 1200 cals a day and busting your *kitten* of doing cardio 2 hours a day kinda person. Over the course of a year i've smartened up, bought myself some heavy weights, and have been giving er now for a couple months with lifting. I typically do 5 days a week, with one…

Macros
Hey all! I'm down to my last 15 pounds and have been playing around with my macros. I lift heavy about 4 days a week, with 1-2 days a week of HIIT Cardio. For the past few months with heavy lifting I was only consuming about 1300-1400 calories on lifting days, and found out I was not eating enough. Through some online…

Macros
I've recently started working with a trainer, who figured out my macros and daily calories for me. I pre-log my food a day in advance to make sure I get as close to my macros as possible. The one problem that I am having is getting to my daily calorie limit. I'm supposed to have about 2000 on training days, and I get to…

MapMyFitness+
I used MapMyFitness app today for my walk/jog and when I'm done my workout it posts just the words to facebook not the map. Does anyone else have this issue?

Giving it a go!
Hey all! I'm currently standing at 174 pounds and am wanting to get down to 150. Now I know lifting alone wont make me lose pounds, and that eating at a caloric deficit will. I'm just curious if there is anyone else out there who was around my weight, started this program and got down to their goal weight and toned at the…

Starting the 5x5 program tomorrow: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/jason-blaha-ice-cream-fitness-5x5-novice-workout I'm going to be doing most of the work on a bowflex system as I don't belong to a gym. I do have an olympic barbell and some free weights at home. I'm 5'8,…

Not Counting Calories
Does anyone here not track calories burnt? If so how goes your weight loss? The reason why I am asking is that I think the transmitter in my Polar FT4 went, and I don't have the receipt for when I bought it a year ago so I can't get warranty work done on it. I can't really afford to buy a new one. I always keep track of…

Kris Get Thin Program
I've been researching this program and it seems like it will be a good one. Has anyone here done this program, and if so how were your results?

Polar Chest Strap
I've had my Polat FT4 for about a year now and have loved it. Recently I have been having issues with the chest strap not transmitting very well. It'll show 00 on the watch. I've tightened the strap and wetted it as much as I could. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what did you do to fix it?

Getting Closer To My Goal!
Started my journey at 235 pounds. And believe me, I tried everything, from curves, to LA weightloss. I even went to a regular gym but had no idea what I was doing. I gave up and restarted over and over again. Getting frustrated if I didn't see results in the matter of a few days! That was quite awhile ago now. It took a…

So frustrating!
It's so frustrating that you have a good week of losing weight and inches, then all of a sudden you hit a plateau! I've lost 56 pounds so far and have 19 left to go. It's come off at a slow rate and im ok with that as it has a better chance of staying off, but its just super frustrating when you hit that plateau.

Leslie Sansone Walk at Home
I just discovered these videos this morning and it looks like it is a lot of fun! I'd like to give it a shot 5 days a week but I am unsure what kind of schedule to follow? Anyone here currently working out to her videos and if so what kind of weekly schedule do you follow?

Lost Control
I'm usually pretty good at keeping my diet at bay and not over-indulging in food. This weekend has been particularly bad. I overate yesterday, having chinese food and a BIG piece of birthday cake, and today I ate a bunch of chips and dip and had pop with my husband. It tastes so good at first, but after I have it, I feel…

Steel Cut Oats
This weekend I bought a container of Steel Cut Oats instead of the quick oats I normally buy. Can anyone share recipes that use Steel Cut Oats? Thanks in advance!

First Timer!!
Hey all! I have JMBR, and I'm excited to try it out. I'm starting Week 1, Workout 2 instead of waiting until next week and will just do workout 1 on the cardio day to make up for it. I have approximately 25 pounds left to go to get to my ultimate goal. Hoping I can get there with this :)

What should I do?
Just looking for some advice from all the MFP peeps out there. I'm a shift worker. I work 6 hours in the morning, have about 3-4 hours off starting at 11:30 and then I go back to work for 3:30. Should I go for a workout right after I'm done my morning and then eat lunch? Or should I eat lunch first, sit for a bit to digest…

Training Schedule
Hey all! Just wanted to get everyones opinions on this: I would like to do just full body workouts on tuesdays and thursdays and pure cardio on mondays wednesdays and fridays, with Saturdays and Sundays as rest days. Not sure if this will be a smart move or not to lose weight. Does anyone else have a weekly routine like…

Never ever ever again
Will I let myself get to 235 pounds, or anything remotely close to it. I was very unhappy and felt unhealthy, out of shape and barely any energy. I'm down a total of 44 pounds (most of that within the last 2 years, but thats because I went up and down in pounds) and I have about 31 left to go now until I get to my ultimate…

Pizza
My fiance made a frozen thin crust pizza for supper today, and i had 1/4 of it but I didnt eat the bread part of it, just the toppings. How would I track that?

Goals Per Week
Hey all! I was just looking at my fitness goals, and how much I want to lose in a week. It was set at 1 pound a week, which gave me 1610 cals a day. Between working out and what I eat, I had a really hard time getting to my daily goal. Is anyone here trying for more than 1 pound a week? If so how is it working for you? I…

Snackies
I've gotten my family on board with eating a lot better than we have been. This weekend we are grocery shopping, and in the past we've enjoyed our chips and pretzels (etc etc). So my question to all the MFP's out there, what do you guys have for snacks other than veggies and fruit? We have a nut allergy in the family so…
