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.1 -

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 602

@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.1

@AlecB62 - you are an excellent motivation....losing what you've lost and sticking with it for over a year...good for your!0

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.1

You can do this! This app really helps you learn how many calories you consume that really aren't needed. By that I mean- That handful of chips you when you're not even hungry or even how many calories you consume in drinks. I have had some good results in just a month and a half. And I think you will too!1

It's national hot dog day; so that's what I'm having for dinner...with some home made potato salad0

We all have those 'trigger' foods that cause our demise. We choose not to keep them in the house because they wreck havoc on our will power. Mine are potato chips and ice cream....what are your trigger foods?0

Good morning! I am new and looking for motivation and support. Please feel free to add me!
