HRM calories
Anyone know how accurate the calories on HRM are? I have been eating all my calories and exercising everyday using the calories measure on HRM. I have felt pretty drained and low on energy during some of my long bike rides (I even used sports drink). These rides are 2 - 3 hrs long with avg HR of 155. In the past 4 days, I…

I was having a really hard time getting motivated to exercise at all, so I gave myself some motivation. I don't usually work out on the weekends, but I do five times during weekdays. I told my husband that when he gets…

May 14 MFP runners club
Good morning! I hit the sack at 7:30pm last night (just to sleep), I was dead tired. I think it's due to my TOM. So needless to say, after a good nights sleep, I was up at 5am this morning getting ready for my run. I felt so good and refreshed. I actually ran my usual morning distance and I ran it 5 minutes faster than…

Netflix vs. Blockbuster
Hi All, I'm thinking about joining Netflix or Blockbuster online so I can get an everchanging variety of workout dvds so I don't get bored and so I can get more variety. Of course, this is in theory. Right now, I'm lucky if the twins will let me see 10 minutes of anything but my ultimate goal is to be able to have an…

Victorious Victoria Day Challenge. . .May 14
Morning! Today I have a long teaching day (covering for someone else). So, that's a 30-40 minute commuter walk. I was very pleased yesterday to discover that that walk (with the backpack) burns 200 calories. Then, "tilt tuck tigh(t)en. . .ya'll" Sorry, that's the hip hop abs guy in my head. He won't go away. I find myself…

I know this is annoying but...
I know this gets asked all the time, but MFP doesn't seem to have a sticky feature for the message board. Anyway, just using some round numbers, say I burn 2500 calories a day according to my BMR, and I have a diet target of 1500 calories per day, with 1000 calories per week of exercise thrown in. I know the consensus is…

What I'm doing today...
So my mother and father in law just bought a new house. I'm helping them to gut and decorate it. The majority of my day today will be painting, wallpapering, laying new hardwood floor, and replacing cabinets. I checked a calorie burn calculator for two hours of painting (it will be more like 5 (or more)hours of work today,…

Early birds..
What keeps you motivated to wake up early and go to the gym? I've been trying to get back into the habit because the only time I can work out is in the mornings, but sometimes I just don't go. :grumble: What gets ya'll out of bed?

Why isn't housework listed on options for physical activity?
I do around 3-4 hours of constant housework per day, but when I've searched for these type of activities for my calories burned, there is nothing. Now I know vacuuming wouldn't burn the calores of a run, but I suspect I would be burning around 150-200 cals a day just on housework. Am I searching wrong, or is it just not…

Switching it up
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for when you plateau.... I'm stuck at 210 having lost 25 pounds and it's been 3 weeks. I am hungrier than ever before and not sure what is going on. I'm mentally in the game, but just so hungry all the time. I have tried to listen to my body and if it's hungry, then eat but make good…

My fellow joggers...

I have to say, I extended my route by about 1.5 miles and holy cow, it was so hard. I want to run at least 6.2 miles on Sunday's which is the equivalent of 10k and it took me forever! I felt good…

Nubody's Bridal Boot Camp
Just wondering if anyone from the Nubody's Boot Camp class on Monday's & Wednesdays is on here. I know we all discussed "my fitness pal" at class on Monday night so I thought I'd shout out to see if anyone from the class joined and we could all link up as friends to motivate and encourage as well as share tips and ideas.…

Well, so I thought i would try some skipping. Yesterday i did 15 minutes, and today 16 minutes, but it says I have burned nearly 200 calories each time on Fitnesspal. Does anyone know if this is correct? I felt I worked really hard and definitely got my heart racing!

Victorious Victoria Day Challenge. . .May 13
I'm the first one up today??? I'm up really late too. Less than a week left. Only 4 days left for me before I drive, drive, drive to the beach. I read yesterday that walking on the beach burns twice as many calories as walking on a hard, even surface. It must be a sign. Yesterday I did the first segment of the Smart…
