Question for people who weigh every day
How much fluctuation do you get? I read a lot on here about how your weight can fluctuate by as much as 3 pounds during the course of a single day. Before I started my healthy eating and exercise plan I also found this to be true. I could weigh myself 3 times in one day and get a different weight every time. Since I…

Goal setting doesn't work?
I've tried changing my goal settings from 30 minutes exercise 5 times a week to 60 minutes exercise 5 times a week to 90 minutes exercise 7 times a week to 120 minutes exercise 7 times a week. I also changed the goal from 1 pound per week to2 pounds per week. No matter what I change it to, it still says I'm going to lose…

Biggest Loser
Does anyone here watch the Biggest Loser? If so do they tell you what the people on the show eat? I just watched an old episode and the people on the show lost an average of about 7 pounds each in a week (one person lost 12 pounds!) I know they're living in a controlled environment and concentrating exclusively on losing…

Can't change my goal?
I've tried setting my goal to lose 2 pounds per week, 1.5 pounds per week and 1 pound per week. No matter which one I set it to MFP always sets to a calorie allowance that gives me a goal of .9 of a pound per week with a total weight loss of 4.5 pounds in 5 weeks. Why does it bother to ask me my goal if it's just going to…

Walking?
I spent a couple of hours walking around the shops today and kept a rough count of my paces. I walked about 1000 steps, at a slow pace, which according to my Wristwatch HRM means I burnt about 800 calories. When I look at the slow walks (2, 2.5, 3 mph) in the exercise database on here though, they all say I only burnt…

Potassium & Cholesterol Questions.
I just changed the settings in my food diary to check my daily intake of sodium,potassium, calcium, iron and cholesterol. I'm usually a little under on everything except sugar and fibre, both of which are always over my RDI according MFP. Cholesterol and Potassium though are both way under. I've done some research on…

So Depressed
I just did my weekly measurement check and all I've lost is 1/4 inch off my thighs and arms. I gained 1.2 pounds yesterday but I kept telling myself to wait and see how my measurements were today. Well my body fat weight and percentage are up a little in line with my weight gain and my BMI is also up a little. The 1/4 inch…

Eating exercise calories?
I've been doing a lot of research on here this morning and I've read a lot of posts that say I should be eating my exercise calories. Up until now I haven't been doing this, I eat approximately 1200 calories per day and exercise about 400 or 500. I've been losing 1/2 pound per day for the last week, until today when I…

Muscle Gain to Fat Loss?
I've only been using MFP for a week and I'm finding it really helpful. My goal is to lose 25 pounds. At the moment I'm eating about 1200 calories per day and burning between 400 and 550 calories. I go to Curves every day so I'm doing strength training and cardio, plus I use the Wii and an elliptical trainer at home. I can…
