S.B.F. Fitness Challenge. . .July 31
Good bye to July. Only 2 more months of Summer left! For MM and I, it's been 100 degrees everyday. It gets old after a while. Had a great time last night. I burned over 900 calories yesterday (walking & elliptical). Had Ethiopian food for lunch (so mostly veggies and bread) and then wonderful goodness for dinner. A tiny…

which is better?
I use a treadmill most days cuz it is the most conveniant (sp?). Do you think it is best to do faster or more incline. I have read more incline helps butt and thighs (lord knows this is my biggest trouble spot), but would walking faster help with quicker weight loss. Today I did 2.5 mi. at a 4 incline and 3 mph. What do…

I hurt...
So when I was a teenager, I did tae kwon do. I earned my black belt, and went on with my life. Ten years later, I joined another form of tae kwon do and am working on a second black belt. Actually did it until I was 37 weeks preggers... But that's another story. Lately, with a small group of people getting ready to test…

Am I the only one...
that burns more calories than the stupid machine say? I notice a lot of people say the machines are totally overestimating, but mine (according to my HRM) is underestimating. I wonder which one is right? :laugh:

So, I've been waiting to try the Tae Bo advanced work out. I just finished it and burned 613 calories in 58 minutes. That was a freakin amazing work out!! Loved it!

Not Polar... but how about Suunto?
I won a "door prize" at my triathlon last Sunday. A Suunto T1 heart rate monitor. It is the base of the line. I did some research online and found out that the T3 has a computer interface option. So I called the Tri sports store that promoted the race and asked if they would allow me to turn the unopened one in and pay for…

Do I have to exercise? Really?Like for real?
Hi Everyone, I've been on MFP for 16 days now and I've lost 3 lbs. I've only worked out twice but I keep my food diary religiously.

Weight training.
Hello! I was just wondering if anyone had any pointers for weight training? I really would like to tone up some more, but have always been kind of clueless when it came to building a weight training routine. I run pretty regularly and was wondering if any of you run the same days as you weight train? Any advice is greatly…

Immediately it measured my cals loss at only 300.(same workout) :explode: .Now I've been using HRM daily and daily it tells me that my calories…

Workout Without the Weightloss?
I have been walking 2.5 miles each morning for the past 2 1/2 weeks. I do this in about 40 minutes and my heartrate is up, so I know I'm getting a workout. Plus, my legs get pretty sore because I'm actually moving....LOL. Here's my deal....I haven't really lost much weight.....maybe just a couple of pounds and that really…

Kind of a Gross Question...
I have been running 3+ miles a day for the past two weeks or so. I noticed that my toenail on both of my second toes are very sore and the one seems like it might be lifting up (maybe to fall off?). I read a little bit about this online and found out that this is caused by a blister that forms under the toenail and the…

Earned Calories
I don't know if this is a dumb question, but does anyone know if you are supposed to eat the calories you burn off exercising? I thought I read that somewhere...but it sounds a bit like it defeats the purpose :noway:

Happy Anniversary to us! Husband is feeling under the weather today, but right now we are still planning on going out tonight.

Want Serious Fat Loss?
Are you interested in really loosing some fat? Try looking into HIIT or Tabata training. I understand it will seriously kick your butt, but it is the most efficient way to burn fat without loosing muscle. Anyone else trying this?

So I burned 1020 cals this morning....
I did two classes this morning back to back and used my hrm....came out to 1020....I've already eaten my 1200 for the day and it's only 2 pm (big salad was really BIG). I know you're supposed to eat exercise cals, but I'm not sure I can eat them all....those Hershey bars left over from camping might do the trick...

Exercise Calories
So I am not sure.. if I eat my 1000 to 1200 a day and burn 350 at the gym do I eat those 350 or not? Would it be ok if I don't if I am at least getting 1000 in and feeling fine?
