How do I use the past as a road map rather than a road block?
I’m 48 and starting over with my fitness. At 38, I went all in for fitness, starting from weak, slow and heavier than I should be. I joined MFP as NotFortyYet. I shredded it! After I hit 40 I became Rides4sanity and I was very fit. Profile picture is from the old days, a goal shot. I’m small 5’1” and I was 105# and 17% BF.…

Knee pain after bike riding
I am a little out of practice as my bike doesn't really see the light of day over the winter months. But I did a 20 mile bike ride in the sunshine today with a short stop in the middle to go shopping. And found the gradients EXTRA difficult and tough on my knees. The pain isn't excruciating but I feel pretty achey. I turn…

Exercise Cals deduction
So the app tells you what amount of calories you should eat for a certain amount of weight loss. Well then you exercise and you can magically eat more. I guess I’m just a little confused as to why that is, shouldn’t you just stick with the first basic number and anything burned is just extra weight loss added? Maybe I’m…

Can your Garmin transubstantiate?
I bought a Fenix 6X most of 3 years ago, something happened today, and now I have a Tactix. At least according to the watch face. The phone considers the watch no longer paired and I'm not able to pair them again. I have never had a problem of any kind with this watch. Will probably have to factory reset it. This started…

I haven’t found many stories from people who have gotten weight loss from using these. My question is simple. Are these legit or is it just the new version of the…

Question about running and dull ache in diaphragm/abs
I have a question related to running, in general, and the effect it has on the body. Before you answer (if you know) it's not runner's gut - what I'm trying to explain. I've mostly never had runner's gut except once or twice, and it's never been like the feeling I'm trying to describe right now. So I think I started my…

Should I be changing my exercise workout?
Hi, Wondering if anyone can give me some guidance. As well as running 4/5 times a week I also do a daily dvd workout. This has always been the 30 day shred for me, I like the mix of strength/cardio/abs and that it is shorter and so I can fit it into my daily routine. I've completed this 30 day workout several times, it…

Recommend me something prevents belly jiggle while jumping
I want to start getting in to jumping rope again, but I would like a top that helps prevent my upper belly area (above my belly button) from moving too much while I do it.
