Macros or Weight Watchers
I'm assuming there are benefits to both of these programs but I'm looking for suggestions. I do go to the gym but usually once once a week but I walk a lot on the treadmill at home. My main goal is to drop the pounds. Should I start with WW first? I would like to lose at least 40 pounds.

Ugghh....advice please
I have lost 10 pounds over the last month but seem to be at a standstill. I have about 40 more to lose and I'm ready to pull my hair out. My gym provides nutrition counseling but I only met with the counselor twice as her husband had a sudden aneurysm and she of course has been taking care of him. She set up my daily…

Quick question about protein powder for smoothies
I have just started having a fruit smoothie for breakfast which I love and it's so easy to take on the go before work. Although I know that it is good for me, it just really isn't that filling. What is a good protein powder choice to add in? I have only used shakeology a few months ago which I did like and it had tons of…

Needing to get remotivated....BADLY!
Well I have been on MFP for sometime now. I have officially lost about 79 pounds(not all due to MFP). I have done this over quite a long period of time. I have managed to stay right around this weight for 6 months or more. I am walking like crazy(at least 5 miles per day). I enjoy Zumba and being active in general. I even…

Beginning to run in my late 30's
Hey guys this may sound crazy, but is it too late to "start" running at the age of 38? I have been walking at least 5 miles per day for the last year. I jog a bit but I get so winded and my thighs and knees hurt after just a short time. I have gone to a running store and purchased the correct shoes so I don't think that is…

Plantar Fascitis
My goal when I started my healthier lifestyle was to get in at least 5 miles per day of walking. I wanted to work up to training for a 5K. I was finally able to run/jog 3 miles on the treadmill but noticed that I was having some pain in my left foot. It has been getting progressively worse and found out that I have plantar…

Suggestions for a heart rate monitor?
I have been using a Fitbit Ultra since October and I absolutely love it but I just don't think that the calorie counter is 100% accurate. I would love to have a more accurate account of calories burning during my Zumba class and while running. Any suggestions on an easy to use, accurate, not overly expensive HRM?

Exercise Induced Asthma
Hey guys. Just a question. Did any of you develop exercise induced asthma after starting your weight loss journey? If so, is this normal? I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon to find out if in fact this is what is going on with me. I have lost 75 pounds so far and am in what I consider pretty good shape. I am…

Any Zumba Fitness Instructors out there?
I'm thinking of signing up for the next one day certification when it comes back to my area. Just wondering how difficult the training is. I haven't attended a Zumba class but I have the Zumba DVD's.

Happy Birthday to me!
Today is my 38th Birthday and instead of being sad over getting closer to the dreaded 40, I am thrilled to be healthier and happier than I've been in years. This is me today 67 pounds lighter. and I'm never going back to this:

What can I do to tone up arm flab?
I broke my right wrist when I was young and have virtually no range of motion in that wrist due to some complications so push ups are out. I have some 5 pound weights but I'm not sure how many reps I need to do or what exercises to do to get some definition and lose the flab.

Supplements?
Just wondering how many of you take supplements and if you do what kinds do you take? I am an avid watcher of Doctor Oz and it seems like everyday he has some new health/nutrition/diet professional giving advice and gushing about natural supplements to aid in fat loss in some form or another. I currently take Moringa…

Anyone synced their Fitbit to their MFP?
I just did since it is so accurate at tracking calories burned. Anything I need to know? Seems a little confusing.

Will I ever "learn" to love veggies?
I am NOT a veggie girl. The only ones I like that's actually good for me is green beans and lettuce. Besides beans I really only like potatoes and corn which are loaded in sugar. I have tried making myself eat raw carrots but I would have to eat so much ranch dressing with them that I might as well not eat them. I don't…

Starting over....again
Hi to everyone out there. I have dieted so many times I wouldn't even venture a guess at how much weight I have gained and lost over the last 10 years. I was always skinny up until I became pregnant with my daughter. She is now 16. I lost most of the baby weight and kept it off but when she was about 5 I gradually got…
