Tracking Food with Atkins?
My Dr has suggested I try a low carb diet and cutting dairy. (he wants to see if it helps my Polycystic ovaries). So I'm delving into Atkins, minus the dairy. Are you on Atkins, and can you track your carb intake properly here at MFP? Some days my carb count is around 25... But then my fiber is higher? So that doesn't seem…

HRM Issues (Garmin FR60)
I just started wearing my HRM to more accurately count my calories burned. It read that I burned 413 calories during my 3.5 mile Run today.... and then that I only burned 29 calories during my Ripped in 30 workout. Am I doing something wrong? I wore in in "running" mode, and it did read that I only "ran" .3 miles... but…

Why Isn't my Body Changing?
I've been on MFP for two months now. I started at 5'5 & 150 lbs. I ran a marathon last Fall, but since then had a binge filled, sedentary Winter. In two months I've logged 91 miles run at a 9 mpm pace. I spent 5 weeks doing 30 Day Shred 6 times a week. I spent 1 week doing Ripped in 30. I overhauled my diet. Replaced all…

When should I have drank my whey protein drink? After the HIIT muscles, or the more prolonged intense cardio? Tonight I chose after my run,…

Why Isn't My Scale Budging?
I have been watching what I eat, low calories, low fat for the last 6 weeks. I have been running more and doing 30 day shred. I am drinking much less. I have had a few bad calorie days (like Easter, and my dd's bday) but I generally try to eat well. I started with a couple of weeks of 1000 calorie days, and was told to eat…
