Burn baby Burn
I have been thinking about the difference of the before me and the me of today. I have a neck injury so by the end of the day I am in a good deal of pain from work. I drive and work on a computer, both of which cause neck/upper body pain. I would end work, come home at 4-7 pm and lie down. In bed. During daylight. Then the…

Has anyone seen a difference since using the F6-in tracking and burning calories? Woo Hoo...a big work out is in store for me…

SBF Sept 4
Wow, starting my first thread! I guess today is a (mostly) rest day for me - I overslept so I didn't have time to do Shred, and I have a massage after work, so... I'm not gonna screw it up by exercising right after. :bigsmile: I'll try to squeeze in a walk at lunch, and I'll do my pushups late this evening. My weight on…

Crunch time Crazy training month Day 4
Ok here it is sept 4th already. I did a speed and tempo workout. I did almost two miles at slightly over a 5k pace, with speedwork incoporated into it. I followed that with some sprints and of course my toning/sculpting work. I am mainly working my core in order to get the strength to handle the long drawn out runs. I am…

nutrition and weight lifting question
I am trying to get my muscle to fat ratio up to help with burning more cal while I am at rest. So far I have been training 3 x's a week- full body. Heavy weights until muscle exhaustion. I was told that I should have some protein and carb before workout and then protein (like a protien shake) immediately after to build my…

Taking Advice Part Three
So, I've done some reading up on osteoarthritis and any strength exercise that doesn't include impact is probably a good thing. Day three - legs. Three sets each with eight reps: Squats, Romanian Deadlift, Leg Extension, Calf Raises, and Single-Leg Deadlift (10 reps on these). I used extremely light weights and will work…

Left Over Calories
So I keep reading stuff about people frantically trying to eat the calories they have left at the end of the day-whats up with that? I consider it a good day if I have left over calories. I lost 40 lbs keeping my own food journal before joining mfp. I did 1200 calories a day, regardless of workouts and took every…

P90x?
Okay, so I've seen people post about this on here before but I never knew what it was until I saw the info-mercial on TV today. It looks like an interesting program, but I don't want to invest over 100 dollars into something that doesn't really work well. I have been doing the Biggest Loser DVD's for a while and found that…

SBF...Sept 3
Good morning. I am trying my best to get back on a schedule today. I've done horrible the last few days. You know what? It started when I upped my calories. I don't know why but it did. I'm tempted to take it back down to 1200 and not fret it if I eat 100-200 cals over (pretty much what I am eat now). I do better when it's…

I went back to swimming today (finally)
Woo hoo!! I love to swim, I'm not bad Or fabulous at it but truly love to swim and have found that with skanky asthma it very rarely triggers attacks (actually, ironically I had my 1st attack in a swimming lesson :huh: but you get my point) I did 18 lengths, breast stroke. I'm feeling really happy that I went back. I WILL…

eating after a workout?
Eat before or after? I have heard benefits about both. I heard it's best to workout on an empty stomach but I feel hungry and energy deprived. And why is it important to eat right after a workout?
