Measuring food
When you guys measure your food with cups/tsp/tbs etc do you fill it up to the top or a little under? Do you mush it down to add more? Just curious.

On the days I do a faster speed..my heart rate monitor…

I saw my nutritionist today thinking that she was going to give me a number to maintain at, and instead she told me to just focus on my eating and seeing…

Cardio question!

Now I'm 172 and I seem to not lose weight as easily. I know once you get closer to your goal(mine is 150-160) that it slows down..but it seems…

I just recently decided to add in some yoga to my workouts and I did this on Thursday and my body is still hating me from it!

Daily calories
So I've been doing this now for almost a month and I've lost 11 pounds and I was just messing around with my settings and it changed me from 1700 a day to 1670 a day. I guess I thought it would change on its own when it needed to. But how often are you supposed to go back and check to make sure you're eating the amount you…

Boxed meals
So tomorrow I plan on making Hamburger Helper Lasagna for dinner. I will be making 2 boxes since I need to feed 6 people and leftovers help for lunch but will only be adding 1lb of hamburger. So as long as I only eat 1 cup of the lasagna..then the calories under prepared would be what I go by, right?
