    I have a question. I walk on average over 10000 steps daily which is about 5 miles. I have been doing some research and they say that a very active person walks about 10000 steps a day. MFP profile I have it as very active which takes in walking/steps into account but what about the steps or miles above 10000 do I log those calories? Thanks in advance.

    Been out for another little run and agreed to do a half marathon after work on the 31st :( see how it goes. Only small rides to work but made sure to keep the speed up around 18-20.

    So 107.1 Ridden and 10 Run so 1/6 of the way to target.

    Welcome to kasiaj and jigsaw. If you feel like you have had an "over active" day then maybe add some extra if not then leave them off. If you target calories are wrong the scales and way you feel is the quickest to tell you.

    Jesiann and jeannie if your feeling the sniffles wrap up, fill a drinks bottle with lemsip and keep at it :) the bottle will keep your hands warm and help with the symptoms

    Wet and cold over my way, guys. Gruff, thanks for the health tips. ;) Though I'm not sure what a lemsip is... Maybe lemon water? Either way, I'm back on my feet. Feeling much better.

    Welcome JIGSAW! I use too go by FF calories/exercise/etc. In all honesty I will say that it is not always correct. It really depends on your weight/stride etc as far as walking goes. I KNOW THIS because I always trusted my Treadmil readings. I purchased a Pedometer. I wear it on my wrist. I found that it was more accurate and gave me less calories worked off than the Treadmil did. I was told that Pedometers are more accurate. I would not worry so much about it though IF you dont have a pedometer. My motto is AS LONG AS YOUR MOVING AND DOING YOUR BEST YOU WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can LOG calories if you want too. I do that in MY Diary section of FF but you can do whatever you want. We have no RULES HERE other than TOO MOVE!!!!!!!!!

    Yesterday we went back too the Mall (even though it is far away but we had errands too do as well) so I could get in another walk. It has been bitterly cold here. Suppose too be that way next four days. Looks like I will have too either walk on the treadmil or use the Exercise Bike....

    Yesterday Jan 8th..............2 miles only..

    TOTAL Jan 9th.................20.75 walking miles...

    Merry Monday, fellow loggers!! :#

    I took Sunday off as well. I was having a tingling in my neck and shoulders. TODAY I am having severe tighteness and pain. I completed a very small dose of med at 7a.m on Sunday. IF tomorrow is worse than today then I will indeed have too see my Doctor. The next thing is a CT scan or MRI.

    YOU GUYS CARRY ON.....YOU'RE DOING GREAT!.....Just do the best you can. I WILL check in from time too time. I am in hopes I can at least do an exercise bike ride here and there....

    Thanks. I will. I have a Dr appointment 11 a.m Wednesday. By days end I realized I was right back where I was 11 days ago. Med only masked the problem.

    OK The good thing is that my exercise bike has an adjustment where you are not sitting right on the handle bars. By letting my seat back AND I have a back rest on the bike I was able too do a 3.3 miles ride and then late evening another 3.3 miles ride...

    Jan 12th total 22.75 walking miles.....
    ........................19.2 exercise bike miles....
