I'm sorry if this as been asked about before, but...

I'm not sure what to make my settings to be. I don't know that I am necessarily trying to lose/maintain/gain weight. I'm totally new to fitness tracking. I honestly bought a garmin for my daughter and got one for me so we can see how we do.

I'm 41y/o 5'2" last weight (last wk at docs office) 114lb. I workout most days. Right now 2 days/wk w/ trainer (was coming back from 5mth hiatus on workout due to health issues), try to strenght train on extra day mid wk and do cardio at least 30min everyday. But I do have a desk job. I try to eat 80/20 clean diet and shoot for 1500-1600 calories/day.

I was planning to train for a sprint triathlon (I've done 2 in the last 2yrs, I also did a half marathon, 15k, 10k and several 5ks. But my doc is making it hard for me to train for the event I want to do 9/11/16. I'm only allowed to choose one form of cardio at this point. I can continue w/ strength and core work.

So I'm somewhat changing gears to work on definition and I'd love to get a 6pack. I don't know what this means as far as weight loss/maintenance/gain. I really don't worry about the scale, just how I feel and look in my clothes.

So sorry for the long post, but wondering what setting I should choose and if anyone has any diet/workout suggestions for achieving my goal.

Thanks so much.

You are at a healthy BMI and your goals are fitness base not weight base so you would set it to maintenance. UNLESS you wanted to gain weight.
