    Hi, I'm a newbie. Still trying to figure this all out. Have to admit I'm not a fitness tracker person...although I've used training schedules given to me by coaches in order to train for a particular event. I linked this to my new garmin.

    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.

    Add me too! I seriously need some motivation and I live in a house with 4 boys who just tell me I'm perfect the way I am. While that's super sweet of them, I need to lose 90 lbs. Although I'd be super happy if I lost at least 60

    @mollytb24 - you have similar goals like me; I too want to lose 90 but would be thrilled to lose 60. I can relate is what I'm saying.

    I need all the help I can get! 100 lbs overweight with a myriad of health issues. Right now my motivation is that if I don't lose about 20 lbs I won't be eligible for my employers healthy weight credit. Let's motivate each other!

    Hope everyone had a good 4th of July Holiday. I enjoyed BBQ but did not overeat...stayed away from the bread and had my burger over a salad....and for all the other side dishes....I grabbed a spoon and allowed myself a heaping spoonful of everything so I got to taste it all in small portions. And for every light beer I drank I chased it down with a bottle of water. Back on track this week.
