I'm sure I could to sync into MFP, but it gets weird in the Apple health app. I figure if there is some difference in the calorie counting matrix between run and walk I'm better off on the safe side of using the walk matrix and potentially under calculating vs over calculating on using the run.

I just started doing this this morning! Happy to add you as a friend and check in every day to see if you worked out! The accountability definitely helps. Also, download a free workout app! There's one called the 7 minute workout challenge. Gives you 12 different exercises to do for 30 seconds with 10 seconds in between.…

I'm in! I weigh in on Tuesdays so I still have one more for February. But I'll update with starting weight and goals on Tuesday!

I want to start doing this as well! Could definitely use some accountability friends there! It's hard for me to workout in the evenings because I teach karate 2 nights/week so I don't get home until 9pm and the nights that I don't my 14month old goes to bed within an hour of me getting home, by the time she's in bed…

If you have it set to wake when you lift your wrist it may be waking while you're doing your boxing workouts because of the wrist movement. Maybe try turning that function off so you have to manually turn on the screen (at least while you're working out)

I'll definitely have to check and see if they have it at my local grocery store & give that a shot! Thanks for the tip!

I used to have a massive sweet tooth (could go through a whole big bag of Hershey's Kisses in less than a week at work) - what worked for me was getting a 20oz travel coffee mug (leak proof) & dumping in 1 packet of Swiss Miss Simply Dark Cocoa & half a cup of milk & topping the rest off with coffee. Shake it up and it's a…

Happy hump day all! Adding some 'cardio' into my day by dancing at my desk this morning.

@GloriaE2016 I'll send you a friend request. :smiley:

So much truth in this! So many people do not stretch enough. Teenage boys going through growth spurts especially! I teach karate and have seen so many students get hurt because they don't stretch enough before starting class & then they're super sore the next day because they didn't stretch afterwards either. For those…

Happy to meet you ladies! We can do this together! @belleshep417 happy to learn any tips you have to share. :smile:

My hubby and I are going to a live production of Grease at a dinner theater in exactly 5 weeks for my birthday. I've got this fantastic 50's style dress but it's a little on the snug side. I'm hoping to lose 5-7lbs between now and then. I'm down 7.4 in the last 4 weeks so I'm hoping it's possible. I'd love to look & feel…

Feel free to add me! I'm in a similar situation - started at ~215 about a month and a half ago. Down to 202.6 as of this morning. My grandfather had the diabetes issues, but I'm sure several members of my family are pre-diabetic without even knowing it. I'm hoping to avoid that. I have two girls (6.5 and 14 months). Happy…

Congrats to your daughter, Mike! That's a fantastic achievement! And don't worry about losing a week. I lose them here and there too - all part of being a parent. :wink:

Check and see if a standing desk is an option! I have a sit/stand work desk and it spends 90% of the time in the standing position. From there I listen to music & dance or walk in place while I'm listening to something and working at the same time. I do have to wear my Apple Watch up on my forearm for it to pick up the…

Happy Tuesday (Monday for me) all!! Hope your week is kicking off great! I managed two extra workouts on my daughter's mini trampoline last week. Hoping to make it 3 this week! :smile:

That used to be a serving size for me (still is for hubs)! It's hard to resist - fortunately I'm not a fan of Thin Mints or Caramel DeLites - so I buy them for hubs and I don't have to worry about making them work in my calories. Once in a while I'll eat a couple shortbread and I'm good. ha

The $4/box price tag keeps me from buying more than one box at a time! And usually they're the ones my hubby likes so I don't eat that many. Glass of wine it is! haha

Pretty proud of myself today. My hubby made some extra chicken tenderloins last night for dinner. Threw one on top of a salad for lunch & one for dinner. Prelogged all my calories & I'm going to be in a HUGE deficit today... Maybe that means I can have a glass of wine and a girl scout cookie or two tonight. :smile:
