Backtracking
Hi all. I could really use some motivation today. I did my measurements yesterday and realised that I am back to exactly the same size I was in November. I have been lifting weights 4-5 times a week since the beginning of February, but have been terrible about logging my food and so have eaten away any progress I made. At…

What weighs more?
If I hear one more person say that muscle weighs more than fat, I will scream. What weighs more.... 1 lb of muscle, or 1 lb of fat? They both weigh one pound! What people mean to say is that muscle is more dense than fat.....thereby taking up less physical space on our body. This is a pet peeve of mine, right up there with…

Happy International Woman's Day
So my work unit is all woman, and we have made a bit of a joke about International Woman's Day. Regardless, our boss was nice enough to bring in some chocolates for us, and when I unwrapped mine, I found a very not-politically correct, but nevertheless timely message inside: "Every woman has her seducer; her happiness lies…

Calculating calories & fat in homemade meals
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to calculate the nutritional value of a meal prepared at home. A calculator where you can enter the amounts of everything you put in the dish then divide by number of portions would be ideal. Is there anything like this online anywhere? Thanks for you help Sarah

Goals without a weight attached
So is anyone else out there working towards a goal that is not a number on a scale? Although I had to pick a "goal weight" for my profile, my real goal is to fit into a pair of jeans that hasn't fit me in 1 1/2 years. I am doing a lot of toning with weights to try to slim down my physique, but I also understand that…

Question: Strength training
So I have a fairly intense workout including cardio and circuit training. But when I enter my strength training on the exercise page, it doesn't calculate calories burned. Should I be upping my calories to compensate for the calroies burned with weight lifting?

BMR + exercise calories
So according to our BMR calculator, My BMR is 1,201 calories. My daily caloric intake should be (according to MFP) 1,270. I have read that MFP adjusts the amount of calories you should eat according to your lifestyle and then factors in a defict to encourage weight loss. I have an active job (I am a waitress) but I don't…

Question.. Eating exercise calories?????
Ok, so when we exercies we get "extra" calories on that day. I read some post saying you're supoosed to eat those calories, but I'm not understanding why. If I burned more calories that I ate, then that is adding to my weight loss, right? Isn't it the point to eat fewer calories than what we burned? If you eat your…

New & surrounded by temptation
Hey there! I just started my diet this week, I am hoping to lose 8 lbs so I can fit into all my clothes again! The other day I went to put on a dress I bought about 1 year ago and it didn't fit properly.
