On the eating side my biggest challenge is never feeling full. In order to feel full I need to eat over 3,000 calories in one sitting, to the point of feeling sick. Not finishing a plate full of food does not happen with me. On the exercise front my hardest goal is being able to do a pull-up. I've been doing core work and…

Just a quick update. I finished the Couch to 5k program on 8/24/18 and I am still running. I had some delays due to vacation and a pulled calf muscle. I did complete a 5K on July 4th running the entire way with a time of 32:42 on a relatively flat course. On my normal 5K route which has 384 feet of elevation gain I am…

Well as predicted I didn't make it through the second 5 minute run of Week 4 Day 1, had to walk a bit. Will try that one again tomorrow. The hills kill me but I need to defeat them.

My is usually the worst sitting at work (desk job). I found that snacking on fruit and veggies throughout the day is a low cal way of satisfying most of it.

I'm currently heading into week 4 of Couch to 5K, doing well so far. But 5 minutes of running not so sure of, I'm dying at 3. I'll just keep repeating the week if I need to, to conquer it.

I just posted my story in success stories, see it there. I am 41 years old.

Thanks for all the advise I think I have what I need now, and the numbers make a little more sense. I was worried that the hypothyroidism was having a big affect on the weight loss but it turns out it is not. I'll be keeping up the 14 mile a day routine until a planned hiking trip in July as part of the training for the…

What is the best way to estimate calorie burn for other activities such as cycling, swimming, weight lifting, and yoga?

So if I wanted to cut back to 10 miles per day at my the middle of my target weight range of 150 to 164 I'd need to be eating 1900 calories per day, BMR = 1427, plus 10*157*.3?

I use Fitbit for the exercise calories tracking and have MFP linked to Fitbit so MFP updates Fitbit with my food. I just find MFP easier to track calories in and think Fitbit is a tad more accurate for exercise tracking, but I could be wrong, that is why I am here. Also these formulas are most likely based on level walking…

I am exercising this much because this is the only way I'm seeing results on the scale and I am afraid to cut back or stop. I've lost 118 pounds since June 2015. From June 2015 to September 2017 I lost 52 pounds with only walking, no large change in diet. The remainder was lost since then when I started using MyFitnessPal…

Please Help I'm going exercise crazy! I recently hit my weight loss goal and want to shift into maintaining by reducing exercise time. I currently mainly walk, minimum 14 miles per day which takes me about 4 hours give or take. I have been trying to up the intensity of my exercise the past few weeks. Adjustments include…
