SSDD? super sonic DDs? did 51 minutes on ye olde exercise bike

yeah, i miss the newsfeed a lot, but here we are, and we can keep in touch with each other :)

30 minutes on the treadmill at 5%.

i've used them before. if you find one that fits well - some aren't great for people with larger pecs or boobs - they're effective for getting your heartrate up and adding overall effort to walking and jogging, and for those with average or weak legs, walking with them can help build some muscle as well as strength in the…

That's pretty low. I'm 5'4 and get the same, so how much you trying to lose a week? Maybe if you lower the amount you want to lose per week, you'd get more calories to eat per day and end up with a much more sustainable loss.

Just pulled out my stepper, which I haven't used in ages, and did 7 minutes before my heart rate just was out of control. Have now moved to the exercise bike and I have attempting an HIIT workout as I speak.

why, oh, why, do you need separate MFP and MFP community profiles??? i realize many years ago, these were probably built with separate programs and databases, but couldn't they just hire someone to pull the info from your existing profile?????

i'm 5 days ahead of you on the 23rd! june birthdays are cool B)

after carrying a 15 pound dumbbell from one hand to the other during a recent treadmill walk, i decided to order a weighted vest. that way i won't have to keep moving the weight from one hand to the other while the empty hand helps keep my balance...

just got done with a 45 minute bike ride after doing legs - squat, deadlifts, those things i did off the cable machine and farmer carries, which are sort of full body.

when i log into MFP, for a second, i expect to see all my friends' comments and activity - then the very disappointing reality sets in...

have you tried makoccino on youtube's oldest beginner lessons? i came from an oil painting background, and watercolors were NOT working for me, but her oldest lessons were very helpful, simple and let me create finished paintings. thank you for the early birthday wishes, Spring! btw, LOL @ My Therapist Ghosted Me

i didn't like mynetdiary for social, and for my needs, it's hard to beat MFP for logging. over half my friends - and at a guess, at least a hundred other MFPers - headed over to LoseIt, which is now socially probably the best such site/app going, although just like everything, it has its issues. i've been posting both here…

thank you for your birthday wishes in advance. oooh! i haven't heard of that blue before, so i found this: this color's pigment number is PB86. "In 2009, it was discovered by Professor Mas Subramanian and his graduate student, Andrew E. Smith. They concluded that the increased UV absorbance and stability in outdoor…

today i tried doing farmer carry on the treadmill. it got my heartrate up as fast as if i were going much faster and hopefully helped strengthen my arms, posterior chain and quads. could only go 16 minutes! may try and work out later, but my legs are pretty tired out from yesterday and the day before. maybe a light bike…

i make my sugar free fudge pops with low or non-fat milk, xylitol, cocoa powder and stevia. sometimes i'd use a sugar free chocolate syrup instead, which was tasty but made the pops harder without adding a little heavy cream. you can do the same with sugar free marshmallow syrup. my next attempt will be sugar-free jello…

i've only used my free account. none of the extras they charge for are of any interest to me. i like to log food, create foods and exercises, log exercises, and now the sadly missed newsfeeed and activity feeds are gone, i spend a little time in the groups and on the forums.

if we roll with categories, should we have an "casual chat" or "off topic" category? there's something i would have posted on my newsfeed that is neither fitness nor diet related in any way... since each discussion has its own thread, i don't know that categories are necessary, but on the other hand, they could have a…

hi there, Mo, and welcome :smiley:

hopefully so, LINIA. i'm not ready to give up on my MFP friends.

sounds nice. the only thing i see on my "rides" are my bedroom walls and my phone LOL

well, thanks, spring. that doesn't sound promising. maybe i'll find a more fun new fitness thing i'm adding kettlebells to my workouts, hopefully will like them.

if you have trouble focusing, get a treadmill or an exercise bike and play games, post to forums or watch videos on your phone or TV while you work out. no getting dressed or having to find parking. my treadmill is a walking pad that can fit under my bed, and some exercise bikes fold to one third of their size when not in…

2 to 3 pounds of water retention is super normal. i gain up to 4 pounds of water after eating salty foods, doing a heavy leg workout or once in a while just because. my last check-up was totally normal. women often retain more water than that during menstruation. diuretics may lead to dehydration if you don't drink enough…

Okay, thanks. By the way, this gave my legs a much better workout than walking against resistance bands are using a weighted vest. I really got to burn on :-)

Instead of going back to bed like a normal person with only 4 hours of sleep, my fitness equipment tempted me... I ended up doing 12 minutes of circuit training including some farmer carries, front rows, triceps and so on, 10 minutes at a 5% incline on the treadmill, and I'm currently on the bike. not sure how long I'll go…

As of just now, my news feed is no longer available on my phone or my computer. This makes me very sad...

476 days today...

most of my friends who posted the most either started posting on a private group here or moved to loseit, where they are still posting a lot - just not here. did you check on your phone? most of us still have the newsfeed on our phones...
