Body fat calculator
Has anyone who has had their body fat measured in any other way ever used the fit2fat body calculator? http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bf/ Just wondering how accurate it is for overweight people, since I still have a lot to lose, but it seems to think my body fat isn't nearly as bad as I think it is in my head. So if…

Bad day
So today my body didn't want to work. On my warm up walk, I could feel my chest was tight and breathing wasn't easy. Managed a 10 minute run, walked 3 mins for recovery, then only 90 seconds more of running before I had to stop and walk the rest of the way back (tried to run again after about 2 mins, only managed 60 secs…

Can you lose weight on 30DS?
I just started an August challenge of 30DS. I am also running 3x/week. I have lost 25 lbs of the 84 I need to lose, so I am still in the weight loss process. I am eating at a deficit, typically netting around 1400 calories per day after exercise. From everything I hear, you lose inches on JM 30DS, not weight, and so now I…

slimy teeth while running?
I notice when I run that my upper teeth start to feel slimy part way through. Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions to avoid it? Would brushing my teeth right before running help?

30DS question - hand weights
Hi all, I am thinking of getting the 30DS, but see I would need hand weights too. I am wondering what weight people have been using for this workout. I'm fairly new to exercise and out of shape.

Water while running
I just started taking my C25K program outside instead of using the treadmill. On the treadmill, I would go through a 24oz bottle of water during my workout. Running outside, I don't have anywhere to put a water bottle, and there are not any drinking fountains. For those of you who run outside, what do you do for water, or…

morning protein
How much protein do you aim for in your morning meal? How much should you? I am trying to get away from cereal and trying to pack in protein in the am. Yesterday and today, I had an egg with some parmesan on an english muffin and a glass of milk. It's a 300 calorie meal with 24 grams of protein, which is great. Problem is,…

HRM
I would like to get a HRM, but don't know what to get. I know this gets asked a lot and I have searched on the topic, but everyone suggests ones that are in the $60+ range. My budget right now is $35. I just started working out, and am doing C25K on a treadmill. I mostly want it to know how many calories I am burning…

calories burned according to equipment
How accurate are machines at the gym when it comes to the calories they say you've burned? I notice a lot of discrepancy between the equipment and what is in MFP's database as far as how many calories were burned in correlation with the number of minutes exercised.

Week 2 loss very low, need some advice
So I started 6/1 by taking a look at what I was eating before (3K calories, oh my!), and started doing the 1630 that MFP recommended I also went from no exercise to at least a 15 minute walk 3-5x/week) When I weighed in after week 1, I was down 10 lbs. I was also on a different scale, different time of day, and no clothes,…

New to exercising, sore legs
Hi all, I am pretty new to exercising again (haven't in years). Started 6/1 with some walking with my toddler, then last week added in some treadmill time. I've now doe W1D1&2 of C25K. My question is, I did W1D2 yesterday, and wanted to still exercise today, thinking maybe the bike so as not to overdo it too much, but…

BMR vs goal determined by MFP
I am pretty new here, and have been reading all the sticky threads in this board. I have some confusion though. They say to eat at least the calories determined by your BMR, but then they often say things like "MFP factors this into your weight loss plan." When I use the BMR tool on here, it come out at 1703, but my MFP…

Water weight
Hi all, I'm pretty new here. Set a start date of 6/1. Found this site and logged what I ate the 2 days prior and my eyes almost popped out of my head. At ~3K calories per day, no wonder I am where I am! I weighed myself midday on my grandma's scale over Memorial weekend and weighed in at 224.2, fully clothed. I weighed…

Another newbie
Hi everyone. This website has been a big eye opener for me. I keep gaining weight, and am now up to 224. I am sick of having to buy new clothes because the old ones no longer fit. It is time for a change. I've known that the way to start is to track what you're eating, but to honest, I was almost afraid to. No wonder. When…
