Need new Weighted Gloves or similar
Hi all.....I have been using weighted gloves in my boxing class. I currently have 3 pound gloves (1.5 pounds per hand), and they aren't doing the trick anymore. Does anyone have a good recommendation for an upgrade to heavier gloves? I don't remember what brand I ordered, but the weight is on the back of the hand and they…

Anyone tried this before?
Hey all, Wanted to see if anyone has done this and what the outcome was. I started on May 10th to drop some weight. I originally had my cal goal set at 1200, but quickly realized that was too low for me. I found a nice goal of 1375 was more doable. Anyways, I tend to zig-zag without knowing it, and have averaged a 5 pound…

LOVE the little bar graph reports on MFP
I love having the Net Calories report on MFP. It is interesting to see that I naturally calorie cycle and my highest net-calorie days are typically Friday with my lowest net-calorie day being Saturday.

I started out at 1,200 cals per day and was starving, did a little research and tweeked with my numbers based on my lifestyle, and am now on average netting…

The word TONING
Hi all, Small rant, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I wanted to touch quickly on the word used a lot on these forums. The word TONING is not correct. You cannot tone muscles, you can only build them up or break them down. I do believe that when people say they are "trying to tone up" what they really mean is to…

HRM: Maintenance calories on MFP lower than actual daily cal
Hello all, I have had a HRM strapped to me for one whole day, and my total expended calories, not doing any additional workouts....this is just my normal, every day routine..come to just under 2,000 kcals.

New to site but not new to weight loss...already starving
Hi all, I normally don't post to these sites, I am more of a "lurker" as I figure most of my issues or questions have already been answered. I was on a different site years ago and managed to go off the deep end. I lost my goal of 20ish pounds but couldn't stop...developed a lovely eating disorder and had to retrain myself…
