Johto was the first gen I ever played (Pokemon Silver, yay) so I couldn't resist starting the game back up to catch 'em. I do wonder if they have anything planned for the first gen legendaries though. There was a lot of speculation but nothing happened in the end.

My bad, sorry :) Not true. I don't have diabetes, I just have hypoglycemia. I just have a naturally low blood sugar meaning I have to control it by eating regularly. I've had it for as long as I can remember, but it took me a long time to figure out what it was. I just thought I was unfit to do any physical demanding work…

It's a bad idea to suggest to go low carb for anyone with hypoglycaemia. Going low carb might work well to battle diabetes where the problem is the spikes of blood glucose, but with hypo it's that your glucose is naturally low and you need to make sure to keep feeding it. Taking in no carbs at all will make it worse 9/10…

I guess that really does depend on the country, because here in The Netherlands most people pack their lunch. Sure, some bigger companies have a cafeteria but eating out is not as much a thing. I go for a walk during lunch and I see tons of people walking around having a pre-packed sandwich or something. And the whole…

I got brought up having to finish my plate too in The Netherlands, as did everyone else my age. I don't see the problem with that because the point was to get us to eat enough of everything: veggies, lean proteins and carbs. My parents never made us eat too much food, but in turn made sure we didn't whine for dessert or…

I've had hypoglycemia for years but I've got it pretty well under control now. I eat 3 larger meals each day and 3 lighter snacks inbetween. Usually around 8am, 10am, 12.30pm, 15.00pm, 18.30pm and 21.00pm. I still have to watch out though, there's still times that I almost faint if I haven't eaten enough calories/carbs. I…

For a lot of Americans it's normal to eat out a couple of times a week. For Europeans (or at least Dutchies like me) it's more a rare treat. You go out and have a nice evening spending a few hours at the restaurant rather than going out to grab a quick bite. The portion sizes are also a lot smaller and fast food is less of…

Yes, definitely try the Zombies, Run app and you'll get used to it in no time and want to get out all the time to continue the amazing story.

Another vouch for the Zombies Run 5K app, it's awesome. I was in the same position you are in last year, maybe even worse. I couldn't even run for a few minutes at the time without feeling like I'd collapse - my heart rate was through the roof and I was so out of breath I couldn't take it. But the Zombies Run 5K app helped…

The PSVR isn't really an exercise tool. It could be though, the move controllers are very accurate and I've used them for fitness games before (Playstation Move Fitness for example). But I'm still loving it for gaming. Mostly short sessions but it's great fun and it works really well. I've yet to try a full-length game but…

Honestly, I wouldn't log it at all. MFP is set up around your BMR + daily calories burned before exercise. I wouldn't exactly call housework exercise, and if you'd add it you might be assuming you're burning more calories than you actually are. That being said, if you don't eat back your exercise calories then there's of…

If you're just looking for a step tracker then I'm not sure Apple Watch is the device for you. Don't get me wrong, I love my Apple Watch, but the price tag is a bit hefty if you use it for just that. I've also had a Fitbit before and the syncing with MFP works about the same. Fitbit/Apple Watch both send a total calories…

Sadly I'm currently unable to swim, but if I were to take up swimming again I'd probably upgrade my Apple Watch to the series 2, which is both water proof and has swim tracking. It's a whole different price range though, so if you're not interested in any of the other functions of the Apple Watch it won't be worth it. I…

The Apple Watch syncs total calories burned to MFP and will adjust your daily calorie goal accordingly. On mobile it'll also show how many steps you've taken and optionally you can have it automatically add the exercises you do. Here's how:…

Hi there! I'm Lisanne, a 27-year-old Dutch web designer & developer that absolutely loves gaming. I'm a Playstation (3/4/Vita) gamer playing mostly RPGs/Adventure games. This is going to be a good year for me, with Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect and Persona 5 coming up soon! I also love MMO's (played WoW and FFXIV) but…

Our little Toby playing with all the new toys he got for Christmas. He's a 5-month-old Aussie.

I had your exact problem a few years back. If I did any form of cardio for just a minute or so my HR would already be through the roof. There would be no way for me to stay in the fat-burning-zone at all because I'd either have a normal HR when not doing anything or it would nearly instantly be at 170 or higher. When I…

Yes they are. Total calories shown here are BMR + active calories.

The above are good but don't use the punching bag very much. I would add some kicks aswell, I do kickboxing workouts like that all the time. It's great for flexibility and drives your heart rate up like crazy so it's great cardio. You could try turning kicks, side kicks, hook kicks, front kicks etc. Lots of possibilities.…

A little tip, if you aren't doing so already. Always go to the store and "buy" all the PS+ games, including the ones for PS4 (from your post I figured you only have the 3). If you end up getting a PS4 at some point you can then download and play all the games that were on PS+ previously, even if you didn't have a PS4 back…

Haha, sorry if you didn't understand all of it, I might not be that good at explaining and I might not be completely right either. But I've used the Watch linked with MFP since launch and I've found that my results reflect whatever MFP is giving me based on the Apple Watch link, so in my eyes it's correct or at least close…

Hi Suusik, sorry for the late reply :) Your move number (1320) is the total number of calories burned in a day on top of your BMR. Workout calories (1155) are included in the move number, so you did 1155 with exercise and an additional 165 calories from normal activity (moving around during the day). So in this case, only…

You will see a lot of cardio on my timeline, since I bike to work and walk my dog a lot. But lifting and kickboxing is in there too! I've got my own home gym for lifting. It's nothing fancy but it gets things done, specially since I'm still a bit of a newbie. Any adds are welcome :smile:

Go through the exact steps as you did the first time you connected it. I got a new watch and it worked fine for me. Make sure you select it to track your steps through the Apple Watch on the MFP app.

Italian food is awesome, you should enjoy it! Yes, you'll probably eat a bit more than you should those days, but you're on holiday so you should enjoy yourself! Just make sure to get back on track as soon as you get home. If it's just a few days the damage won't be bad. The initial gain might be shocking because of the…

I still play, but I don't go out for it anymore, only play it when I'm going out anyway. The Apple Watch app has been a great addition though! I don't have to keep my phone open all the time anymore.. I can just open it on my watch and spin the Pokestops on there. Only when I see an interesting Pokemon I'll have to take…

I can't say for sure if it's correct or not, since I don't know your stats, but it is very possible that is is. Try turning negative adjustments on and see what happens, you can find it under My Home > Settings > Diary Settings > Calorie Adjustments. Moreover, have you click the little "i" icon next to the calorie…

It still adjusts the calories from both the workout and the steps (or more like total calories burned). It's probably cause you don't have negative adjustments turned on. It'll show as 0 when you have have less calories burned than MFP's calculated burn. As I said in my previous post, anything you do will be added to your…

While I'm sure you had succes like that before, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be able to have the same succes in such a short time. Your body has changed, you've gotten older, it might not go as fast this time around. I do agree with missteena88 that you should be aware of this in order to not get too disappointed and…

If you're lifting you can't use a watch with a HR monitor, it will not work. Wrist based watches/activity monitors with a HR sensor use photoplethysmography, a fancy word for analyzing the blood flow by tracking how much green light is absorbed. Without getting too technical: lifting weight with your arms constricts the…
