limited ability due to injury - suggestions?
Hi all - any ideas for some exercises I can do to increase heart rate without using lower half of my body? Injured one year ago during a run and seeking therapy, etc. at the moment. Can't even walk a mile now without pain, but was used to exercising (running, kickboxing, etc) anywhere from 3-6 days/week. Body is clearly…

exercising but no movement on scale...anyone else
Hi all - I lost about 20 lbs via weight watchers 9 years ago and have kept it off since then - even after 2 more children (5 all together). I have recently seen the scale creep up just a few lbs 3-4, but enough to have me concerned. Ever since I had gone to WW, I consider my eating habits to be positive with treats here…

Nike+
Hi there - does anyone here use the Nike+ application for ipod (using sensor?) If so, just wondering what your opinions are on it? Thanks!!

difference in results - Nike+sensor vs. heart rate monitor
Hi everyone - question for anyone that may have these - I recently purchased a Nike+ sensor and used it for my walk/run route. It stated I burned 360 calories. The same route showed about 280 on heart rate monitor. Ugh. Obviously, the sensor is not necessarily based on my heart rate so to speak but is tracking pace and…

insanity vs. p90x?
Anyone out there done both and have a favorite of the two? Why? I saw some ads for insanity and it seems more appealing to me (I tend to go for more exercise along the running, aerobic type). Just wondering how many folks have tried both and which one you liked more. Thanks!

increase in calories seems to be working!
Hi everyone - I posted a week or two ago about my dilemma in whether or not I should increase my calories. I am on my feet constantly with busy family life and rarely sit down. (in addition to any exercise). I've been burning between 300-500 cals when working out 4-5 days/week. I was eating all my cals (calculated to be at…

scared..increased my calories. Anyone done this?
Ok, so I've posted about being on here for MONTHS, without basically losing ANYTHING. So frustrating I can't stand it. So I decided to up my cals from 1200 to 1500 to see what happens. I'm pretty stressed about it, but I've been wondering if that's why I haven't been losing. Although my typical exercise routine is anywhere…

P90X and cardio?
To those of you that do P90X, do you have to do cardio aside from your video workout? I apologize if this is a silly question, but I was wondering about it (while considering my purchase). Seems a lot of folks on here do their cardio outside or in addition to their weight training, etc. and was wondering how cardio fits in…

biking with baby... :-)
Hi everyone- I just wanted to post something that has made me very happy the past few days. My youngest is 2.5 and I purchased a front loaded bike seat for him so I have better control over my bike when riding with him rather than the rear bike seats. I can't tell you how great it's been! I can talk with him while we are…

should I wear HRM all day - just to see?
Hi everyone - I've posted a few times before regarding my lack of progress so to speak. I've been on here for months and have been doing well with my eating and exercising. Much more than I had been prior to being on this site. So, I have lost maybe 1 lb at the most. I am at 1200 cals, am 5 ft tall and have a small amount…

measurement loss vs weight loss
Hi all - I was looking for some support from some of those out there who may be losing in measurements rather than on the scale. I've been at this for a while now and haven't really seen much movement (at all) in the scale, but am definitely seeing some changes elsewhere physically. Just wanted to know how many of you may…

calorie burn question
Ok, so they say that when you begin to develop more muscle, your body will become more efficient and begin to burn more calories - even when "at rest " than it would have before. So, my question is - why, when you are developing more muscle and have the ability to burn more, you would see a lower calorie burn amount on…

insanity vs. p90x??
Hi there - can someone let me know the difference between the two of these? Thank you

Is it possible?
Hi all - ok, I worked my butt off today moving cleaning out a home - completely - for approximately 4 hours. This involved going up 3 flights of stairs (I can't even count the number of times, while carrying things up and down). I did not stop for all but 15 minutes to eat lunch. Because I don't really know how to…

suggestions for hurt back
Hi all - just curious on this. I haven't worked out for about a week now (at all), which in turn has made me give up for a few days on eating right - yes, I know. Terrible (My eating has been off and on a bit but this situation didn't help at all). The reason behind my not working out however is due to a hurt back. I'm not…

suggestions pleeeeaaaassseee
Ok, I'm so frustrated it isn't even funny. Here's the deal - I've been logging in for over 40 days and have lost .5 lbs. That's right .5. In 40 days!!! Gross. I need some suggestions. I'm starting to think that because I'm eating my exercise cals I'm not losing. I basically have just a few excess lbs that I want to get rid…

P90X question to those dedicated to it
Hi to all of those that do P90X - I've heard so much about this lately and it has definitely peaked my interest. For all of you that have invested in the set, I wanted to get your opinion on it. Do you feel as though it is worth the investment? Do you feel as though you have had success with it? Do you feel that you have…

food diary question
Hi everyone - could someone tell me why my food diary doesn't show sugar or fiber column? Was I supposed to add that somehow or was MFP to do that with my input? Did I miss something? New to this, so I'm still learning. Thank you

protens??
Hi everyone - I love that this site everyone seems so willing to give their feedback to one another. It's a great motivational site. I had a question on proteins. I seem to be a bit higher on these each day so far - not necessarily going over, but here and there yes. What happens when your body gets too much protein vs.…
