Heart rate inquiry
I was just wondering if anyone has noticed changes with their heart rate during weight loss/dieting? Mine felt a little weird today and at one point I checked it and it was about 54. Other times it was higher though. Sometimes I feel sluggish but I always have way more energy after exercising!

Anxious about spending time with other people
So I am seeing my boyfriend tomorrow night (haven't all week!) and I am actually anxious. I wish I could just relax and be as excited as I normally am. I am just really afraid it is going to throw off my weight loss track. I worry about him getting me to eat outside of my meal plan. He also wants to make alcoholic drinks…

The opposite of cheat days
I know some people feel they need cheat days or meals in order to not feel so deprived in their diet. I have recently found another strategy that I find to be helpful for the same thing and more beneficial to weight loss (although not very healthy). After a couple days this past week of extremely low net calories (prob 500…

Is this cardio? Good or bad?
So I know there is a bit of a debate with whether cardio or strength training is better for weight loss. Calories burned vs lean muscle building. I feel like just doing an eliptical or running ...that type of one dimensional cardio...wouldn't be beneficial to me in getting the fit looking (and also slimmer, but I don't…

Artificial sugar and weight gain?
I've heard about artificial sugars causing weight gain. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? Does it actually or is it just that it makes you want more sugary things? Personally I am a little hesitant to increase my intake in case it hinders my weight loss. I eat 1-2 yoplait greek yogurts (50 cal) every…

Women's abs?
I feel like my abs are still pretty soft and I'd like a really nice stomach for summer. It is actually the part I am most self-concious of. I know that you can't target weight loss, but I really don't have much to lose (I'm about 120 lbs) so can I start to firm it up? I was wondering if anyone had any good exercises for…

Why too large of a deficit?
I am really troubled. I have been eating at a large deficit, mfp is set to lose almost 2lbs a week but then I still am a couple hundred under the allotment of calories, and I have not been losing. I think I've lost less than a pound this week. I am so frustrated and sad. I feel like giving up but I feel like a quitter if I…

switching from weight loss to maintenance
So I have 5 lbs left to go and then I am starting to try maintenance. I am really scared about switching to maintenance from loss. I feel like I only know how to lose and how to gain. How do you make sure you'll stay the same weight? (I'm coming off of a large calorie deficit ~500, I also exercise about 30 min half an hour…

online fitness videos?
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm looking for fitness videos to do online. Do you know any that either are very efficient at burning calories or give really good results? It'd be super if they didn't require a lot of equipment. I currently have an exercise ball, yoga mat, 5lb ball and 3lb weights.

Cereal preferences?
I'm looking to buy cereal but I'm not sure what kind is best. I'm thinking something high fibre and protein for the lowest calories. Any ideas?
