Thanks, I will look into the dxa. I will also try the 7 point method for now.

Thanks

What should be my goal weight?

29, 201.1lbs, 6 foot, male

What stats?

I am currently working out 3 times a week, plus 1-2 days of running. I also walk about 20,000-25,000 steps a day for work. Mfp calculator has me at 2,500 calories. Which I am pretty good at sticking to. I guess I am more interested in gaining muscle. Does this calorie count sound right?

I am going by my fitbit scale for my fat % it was down to 23% now it has been going up to 27%. My total weight lost in in the past year and a half has been 40lbs. It is going up now slightly. I am trying to also gain muscle, which I can physically see a difference but they are not as defined because I am not loosing the…

Thanks for the suggestions. I went running tonight and I slowed it down. I went for 2 miles and I didn't get too winded. I was able to keep up my running the whole 2 miles, I didn't have to alternate between walking and running for the last mile. At the end I felt pretty good. According to my runtastic app my average pace…

I'm 29 years old 215lbs, I have been doing strength training and some treadmill in the past.

Thanks for the help so far. I was looking at the c25k program. I am training for a physical fitness test and I have a time limit. The test will probably be at the end of July or sometime in August. I need to get to a 12:30 min 1.5 mile.

Thanks for the replies so far. I am currently 29 yo, I have never been a runner. I was doing the treadmill for the past 3 months before I started the outside running and I could do 2 miles without a problem at 6-7 mph. When I started outdoors I am having a hard time. As for the deadline, I don't have a set deadline but I…

Thanks for the detailed response. I logged yesterday, with my fitbit integration that adds exercise calories, I still had a deficit of over 1000 calories. I am logging today accurately. I am halfway through my work shift, I am all logged up till dinner and it shows I have 1,877 calories remaining, it took off 1,256…

How long does it take to adjust to the extra activity and lose the water? My normal fluctuation was less than 5lbs.

How can I get rid of water retention? I try to drink 12-16 cups of water a day. I avoid most other drinks except tea and coffee, both with nothing in them.

I should update the intake, I haven't done that in a while. I have been using the calculation that the app gives me when I answered the questions . Is the app pretty accurate or should I use a different calculator. I also have the fitbit calories burned calculations. I have to start keeping a better food log. I got used to…

It is the same scale. I guess it is still accurate I don't have another one to test. I will put new batteries in. Yes food is basically the same. I have just changed the times. I have to keep up with my log better.

I am now weighing in first thing in the morning, about 45 minutes after I wake up. I used to do it about 3 hours after I woke up.

No last Monday the 10th. I have done 6 runs so far.

I'm getting about 7 to 7 1/2 hours of sleep.
