The zoo...
I have my activity level set at light, because I am a stay at home mom. Today, we went to the zoo for 4 hours and I pushed the kids in a double jogging stroller. I put in my daily log that I walked slow pace (2.0 MPH) for 120 minutes (2 hours). Do you think that is too much, too little, or just right?

PX90 Question...
I have been running for a little over a year now. I run anywhere from 10-20 miles a week. Since it's getting so hot outside, I am looking for something to do around the house. I (well my husband) has the PX90 DVDs and I was wondering if it would be a good workout to do just every now and then when I can't get out and run?…

Bloodblister under Toenail...
I am not a HUGE runner, but I run 3-6 miles 4-5 times a week. Anyways, last night my toenail next to my big toe started hurting and it was blue. My husband runs minis and never had had this happen before. Anyways, I realize it might be from not big enough shoes and such. I called the nurse hotline and they told me to do…

Upped Calories to 1400 and stopped losing weight....
Since June, I have been eating 1200 calories and have lost 32 lbs, and I got almost to my goal weight (140). I was also just starting to get signs that I was not eating enough like my hair was/is falling out like crazy, my skin is really dry, my nails got brittle...etc. SO, I upped my calories 200 to 1400 and I completely…

I did it!!
I met my goal weight this morning...140! I am not sure if I'm going to keep going, but I wouldn't mind if I did or if I didn't. I do want to tone up more, but I'm proud of myself! I'm going to *try* and post these pictures. This is Easter (notice me holding my kid's candy ;) ). I started my "life change" on June 13th, but…

What do you wear in winter?
What kind of clothes do you wear while running outside in the winter? It's starting to get colder here and I don't really know what to wear. Right now, it's not cold enough to wear pants, but it's getting there. I would think that cotton yoga pants wouldn't keep me warm enough in the dead of winter (0-30 degrees) but…

Embarrassing Question for Ladies (NOT about period)
I am getting really close to my goal weight, but I still have these two globs of fat (I think it's fat) right under each breast. What is this? Is it normal? How can I get rid of them? Thanks! :/

I'm eating more question...
I have been eating the 1200 calories plus my exercise calories for 3 months now and have lost 26 lbs. However, recently I have been really, really hungry and almost felt faint yesterday. So, I decided to up my calorie intake to 1400 plus whatever exercise calories I have that day. I am OK if I do, but do you think I may…

How many lbs do I need to shed to...
How many pounds do I have to lose to go down a size in clothing??? Seriously...I'm getting really annoyed! I have lost 25 lbs...172 to 147 and I am still in my beginning clothes! Yes, they fit better, but I would have thought I would have gone down at least one size by now. I know, I know that ## aren't everything, but it…

Tired, Hungry, and Not Losing
I started my journey on MFP on June 13th, and I lost weight really fast the first 6 weeks or so. For the past two/three weeks, I have lost a total of ONE pound! For the first 6 weeks, I had so much energy, didn't have problems eating only 1200 calories, and was dropping the weight so fast. Now, the last two weeks I have…

Raw or Cooked Chicken?
When it says that ____ calories for ____ oz of chicken is it raw or cooked? I assumed raw, but the problem is, I freeze my raw chicken and throw it on the grill frozen most of the time. So, if I type in grilled boneless, skinless chicken, it will say "Grilled or Char-Grilled Chicken Breast, 4 oz. for 189 calories." So, do…

Polar FT4
I just got a Polar FT4 and so far I like it, but the calories that it says I burned is extremely high. I ran a little over 3 miles this morning (12 minute miles) and it said I burned 450 calories. I'm 5'7", 155 lbs, 27 years old, and female. It said my average heart rate is 159. We ran for a total of about 40 minutes,…

Polar FT4
I have a question about my new Polar FT4....is there anyway to display how many calories you are burning WHILE you are working out? I would rather see how many calories I'm burning rather than my what my heart rate is. Also, what is the annoying beeping for??

Chicken
When they say that XXX calories for XX oz of chicken, is that before or after you cook it?

Not losing lbs....
Let me start off by saying that I am 27, 5'7" and currently weigh 155. I started at 177, so I have lost 17 lbs in about 45 days. I didn't really change much of what I was eating per say, just smaller quantity. So, if I wanted pizza, I would eat a light breakfast and lunch and then only eat 2 pieces instead of 3 with…

3 miles!
I did it...I finally ran 3 miles without stopping. It was slow (12 minute miles), but I did it! I didn't think it was possible!! Anyone else do something today they didn't think they could ever do?

Frustrated....
I have lost 17 lbs so far, and not one person (besides my husband) has said anything to me about it. I mean, if we are talking about it and I say that I have lost 17 lbs, they say, "I can tell...you look good!" But, I am dying for someone to notice withOUT mentioning it first. Also, how many lbs do I need to lose to go…

Do men or women...
Do men or women burn more calories? I'm asking, because my husband has a GPS/heartrate monitor, and I wore it today when I ran. It's set on his info though (he weight/height/male/age...) but it said 240 calories were burned today when *I* ran with it. So, here are the stats... Evan/me: male/female (obviously) Evan/me:…
