mfp is good mfp is bad
mfp is wonderful when you can meet people who are trying to lose weight, some want to gain weight, build muscle, get into excellent shape etc. mfp can be bad when you see people that eat crappy food and still lose weight, guzzle beer and other beverages and still lose weight, maybe some eat a lot and still dont gain any…
moaning and groaning and more ranting
it looked as though the scale might have gone down a pound on the manuel scale. then i bought the digital scale today which is a healthometer and i weigh 5 pounds more on it. when i went to the doctor i was a few pounds down from the last visit, and it is a pound down from what the doc scale had said. total confusion and…

somewhat worried
started mfp almost a week ago. since the start i have been eating what mfp recommends, take a few away some days. i also have been doing walks for nearly a hour the past 5 days. for some reason i am scared to take a resting day because in the past i felt overwhelmed when the next work out day was. i felt totally out of it.…
what to believe
i have been doing walking between 20-50 minutes. the past few days have been on the higher end. i added my exercise as 3.0 mph, at times its faster, especially today since i felt totally energized, at times maybe a little slower due to the incline of the streets, somewhat hilly like... mfp says my loss is 299 cals, two…
