Calories burned by yoga
I do yoga a couple of times a week, and MFP just does a calorie count for "yoga." However, there are many different kinds of yoga. For instance, today I did a Power Yoga (some call it Vinyasa), and sometimes I do a gentle class. Obviously, these two types of yoga burn a different number of calories. Anyone who does yoga…

Less hungry after heavy exercise
This doesn't make any sense, but if I don't exercise or exercise only "lightly", for instance a 30 minute walk, it's actually harder to stick to my calorie goal. I'm hungry after dinner, even though I've eaten my entire calorie goal for the day. But if I do a heavy workout like zumba or kickboxing or hard aerobics, I have…

It seems as if it's harder to lose those small amounts of weight -- those last 10 or so lbs. than large amounts. My body just wants…

Time to be honest
Well, I did it. I was honest with myself. I re-entered the weight I now am -- 126 lbs. -- the same weight I was when I started MFP a year ago. My ticker shows the truth -- 0 lb. lost. It makes a big difference to actually claim it and look at it on a screen. I basically regained the same six lbs. I gained back in less than…
