Tracking HIIT workouts / calories burned?
Any suggestions on determining / recording calories burned for a HIIT session? The database doesn't have anything related to this or intervals that I can find.

Hello I'm new and motivated!
Hi there. Thanks to whomever started this group. I was looking to get a group started for people running a 1/2 marathon before turning 40 so this is great. Right now I can run about 4 miles. The most I've done is 9.5 and it was not pretty. But I'm motivated to do this. The 1/2 I'm tackling is in October. I found a training…

If every day were like today you'd weigh...
Wondering how accurate the statement at the close of daily food tracking is. Some days per the statement I'll weigh 8 lbs less in 5 weeks other times I'll weigh 0.5 lbs less. What has your experience been? A bit frustrating for me to think that I'm working hard for only a .5 lb loss in 5 weeks.

Looking to purchase a heart rate monitor
Can anyone recommend a good monitor that tracks calories burned? Don't want to break the bank but also want something that's going to be as close to accurate as possible.

Shakeology?
I've seen some posts that mention Shakeology lately. Does anyone know what this is or do you use it? Sounds like a meal replacement but I'm always skeptical about drinking a meal. Any thoughts or feedback?

Need input ~ Calorie Shifting? 1200 too low?
H. I'm new to MFP this week and have some questions about calorie counts. I am looking to lose 19 lbs. The program set me at 1200 cals per day. Ther's so much mixed information out there these days but I'm wondering if 1200 cals is to little. I'm 144 now and want to get to 125. At my highest weight I was 190 about 10 years…

Tracking calories consumed after midnight?
Can anyone tell me where I should track calories if they are consumed after midnight? For instance, last night I had a battle with the cereal and the Trix Rabbit won at 12:30 a.m. Do I include the calories in the previous day or should they be included for today's calories? I promptly went to bed afterwards, cursing the…

Frustrated - Need ideas for late night hunger
So I just started MFP yesterday and I was over my calories by 111 on the first day. I'm frustrated already. Does anyone have any suggestions for late night snacks that don't pack on a ton of calories? I know most people say don't even eat after 8:00 p.m. but that's just not realistic for me. Can't believe I'm asking for…
