I tried using both at the same time and MPF does count it twice, then it does some adjustments but it is still overcounting them. before I went to start it reported I had 10000 steps and like 400 cals. then I went for a 7.5km run (about 500 cal) and when I checked MFP it said I had spent 500 cal from the job and the…

But does it count the steps from the workout twice or just once?

yes, that's what i feared. I'd get double credit, one from runtastic and then again from steps. maybe l'll just switch it on during non-workout days and off on running ones

I had high BP. It is under control now, nbut even if I run 30-40km a week, lost a lot of weight and eat with almost no added salt I still need to take 5mg of enalapril every day. The best advice you can get is go see your doctor and get it treated asap

cant you link your HRM to runstastic? I have Polar Bluetooth HRM linked to runtastic. So far, it has worked great

2 or 3 glasses of wine OR 2-3 beers on weekends. that's it. And not every week, some weeks I don't drink alcohol at all, some weeks I drink a bit more

Same here, I dont eat all of my running valories back so i use them as a "bank" for weekends. On weekends, I relax a bit and eat a bit more, trying not to go over maintenance. It helps that I usually run 20km (12.5mi). So far it's been working for me

I drink a couple of glasses of wine or beer every weekend. That's my alcohol intake for the week. It hasnt prevented me from losing weight

That was close. Acording to runtastic, for my yesterday run: 12.35km, 1:17:41, 964cal

I'm a 'he'. Sorry I forgot to mention ;)

I'm still losing. I plan to go to 73kilos (161 pounds). The last couple of weeks I stalled a bit on the scale but the waist measurements still went lower

Thanks for your reply I'm a on 6:20 min/km on average. On the shorter runs I go a bit faster on the longer ones a bit slower. runtastic's reported calories went down as I lost weight, even if I run faster now. IIRC, the app uses also data from the HRM to calculate how many calories I burned during exercise

I'm on the same boat. I'm a sysadmin/computer consultant sitting on a chair most days but I jog 4 times a week for 1hr on average each time (2 times 45 minutes at a faster pace, 2 times 80min a bit slower). I set my profile as sedentary, but I'm not sure it's right

That's the greatest thing about c25k. The first day of every week is hard but doable. You'll see the third day feels easy, even if it's the same as day one. I started c25k 2 years ago. I went from doing very little exercise (a bike ride on sunday mornings and nothing more) to run 60 minutes straight in less than 6 months.
