Generally speaking, strength training is not a high calorie burn activity. It is still good for you...and as you add muscle mass your overall daily burn goes up...but on its own lifting just does not burn much. Unless.... You are say doing endurance sets (high reps) AND super setting. In other words, lifting in a way that…

Are you saying that the iphone is reporting 250 kal burned for an 8 hour shift? If so, that is not correct.

I also do kick boxing with a trainer. When we really push it, I can hit 1000 kal in an hour. It is a very difficult workout, but it can be done. I'm 5' 10" and currently 234.

One day active rest, then back at it. You will probably be more sore at the 48 hour mark, but if you push and do a moderate workout, you will feel better.

Jaybird X2. They are not cheap, but the sound good and do not move once you get em on.

As you are just starting, body weight exercise should work. Burpees, push ups, pull ups, dips, planks, etc. The trick will be finding a workout routine that works for you today.

There is TONS that could be wrong. What kind of shoes are you wearing? Have you been properly fitted for a running shoe? When did you start? At what weight? At what level of fitness? Age? How is your running form? Do you heel strike? Do you run on the balls of your feet? How about pace? How hard are you running? There is a…

You can work out. Don't go hard if your worried, but getting those muscles moving and working will help you feel better.

Check out Maddie Rogers. She just set the Junior American record in a couple of categories. Her clean and jerk was something like 293 pounds. Here you go... breakparallel.com/mattie-rogers-sets-new-american-records-231lb-snatch-293lbs-clean-and-jerk/

Works for me as well. I just added MFP from within the Microsoft Health app

45, have 35-30# to go, down currently a bit over 20#. I mountain bike, road ride on occasion, and hit the gym 3-5 times a week for both cardio and weights. So there you go...enjoying the transition to a healthier me.

Pick a worked out, proven lifting program. StrongLifts 5x5 is a pretty popular one that works for many people. Add in a little cardio and you will be golden.

Do both. Hit the cardio (treadmill, bike, row, whatever) and look up a weight training program...don't try to design your own. Check out 5x5 stronglifts.

One year? Yes, you can do that. 2 pounds a week safely...you may even see more loss than that during the first few weeks. So with a year to play with, your goal is 100% doable.

This isn't one size fits all though. Your daily burn, as well as what you burn while working out, are very personal numbers. The OP burned 2850 cal in 4:45 of gym time. By comparison, for the month of March (almost 7 days), I have burned 4200 cal (I workout with a HRM) in approx 5 hours of gym time. That is not…

Look under cardio. There is a weight training option that will add in calories.

I had pizza and beer for dinner tonight. It was a treat, and I will still hit my calorie goal for the day. Sodium goal is out the window thanks to the pepperoni lol, but you can eat your cravings...just plan it into your day. And yeah...work out. You can eat most of those calories back (I don't eat them all back because…

That is pretty much what it is. The main difference is you are supposed to store the cloud bread in a sealed ziplock bag for a day before eating it. This step makes it soften.

This isn't entirely true. If your routine consists of primarily full body movements/lifts (vs isolation...so "old school"), you can absolutely get your heart rate up and get a good burn going.

If your not feeling it...ie you don't need a rest and are not really getting tour heart rate up...add weight. Weight lifting should be progressive. That means you are ALWAYS adding weight and challenging yourself. 3 times a week is fine. As mentioned above, 5x5 is a great, thought out program that pretty much anyone can do.

Pick a program. As mentioned above, 5x5 program. This will hit all the major muscle groups, with PURPOSE. The second key is it must be progressive. That means you are always adding weight and challenging your body. If you didn't struggle or frankly fail at that last rep of the last set, your weight is too low. Just doing…

It comes down to cadence. To hit 10 miles in 30 minutes, you need a cadence in the mid 90's....so somewhere around 95 revolutions per minute.

Looking good man! Keep it up!

My two cents. Lift. Move some weight. I know you said you are...but....are you pushing or maintaining? What I mean is...are you adding weight? Are you working out to muscle failure (good failure, not permanent injury failure)? You HAVE to progress with weights to see gain. Otherwise the work is for naught. HITT cardio is…

I weigh every time I hit the gym, which is 4-5 day a week. That said...what others have said about sodium intake, time o' the month, liquor intake, etc does make a difference in terms of daily weight. Trend is much more important. I have also found that measuring myself...specifically hips and waist...really sheds light on…

Dunno what a stone equates to...but I'm betting I have at least a couple to lose. Feel free to add me!

Really helpful. If your calorie intake is less than your burn, you will lose weight. Period. That said, if your calorie intake is only Doritos, and you stay under target....well, you will lose weight, but it will include muscle. You don't want that. You will look like a crumpled bag of Doritos. So, keep the CICO, but…

On android. From the Home screen (shows calories remaining box and then your news feed), touch the Calories remaining box. It is the top box on the feed. From there, touch the + Add Food area for one of the meals. Then, touch the words "Search for a Food" at the top. Type in what you ate. Pick the one that looks correct.…

Yup. Currently at around 251 and I'm shooting for 200....feel free to add!
