Not high at all with your fitness goals. When I was losing fat, I was eating around 1500 calories a day, strength training 3 days a week and cardio 4 x a week and was able to lose the fat. Now, I am working on gaining lean muscle and lowering my BF % and have been eating around 1900-2000 calories a day for the last 2 1/2…

I am interested as well. Working on lowering my BF. Last checked it said 22.2 but not sure how accurate that was since it was taken at a later time of day. Going to invest in my own monitor to try to track it more consistently.

So far 80 ounces but like to get to a full gallon per day.

I work out early in the morning as well. I have been experimenting to see what works best for me. I lift weights M, W & F, so I make sure I have something small like 1/2 banana or a protein shake. I drink another protein shake when I am finished and then eat breakfast once I get to work. (almost a hour later) On the days…

I can't really tell you if this is right or wrong without knowing your stats. But, I don't like to use MFP calorie counts. They are not always accurate. Either they are inflated or under how many I really burned. Maybe invest in a HRM.

Not sure what my starting BF% was but I did check it in February and March 2013: March : 21.9% Not sure about thefigure because I checked it at a different time. But I wll be checking again on 4/15/13, so I will be able to see if I made a difference. Goal is between 18-20%

Your HRM should be fairly accurate. Did you check your stats that you put in to make sure everything is correct? Keep using it and see how it goes.

Thanks Chicka.....love it!

My day went really well. Exercise & no sweets.

For those of you who have been using BMF for a while: Do you have to wear the armband all day?

I agree. Or do some research online. There are tons of workout programs that offers clean eating ideas and fitness routines. But most importantly, please EAT! I am a SUPER PICKY eater so sometimes I am eating the same thing but I know my body need fuel to keep up with my exercising. good luck!

I enjoy working out at the gym and at home. Right now, I have been going to the gym M, W, F at 6 am to get my morning workouts done. The gym is almost empty at that time, so I have no problem with the crowds. It is a local YMCA that just opened last year so they have all new equipment and a nice indoor track and pool. I…

I finished my C25k at the beginning of November...and i just ran my first 5k on Thanksgiving. I was able to finish in 38 minutes. Pretty impressive for someone who was NEVER as runner. 1) Was it easier or harder than you expected? It was a little of both....Some days were harder than others but I just kept pushing myself…

Congratulations!!!!! I completed my first 5k as well. I finished in 41 minutes. I am so proud of myself....Never thought I would be able to do it, but I did....Yeah to us! We rock!

I just finished up my c25k today. woo hoo! didn't think I could make it but I did. I also ran on the treadmill. Next up is to run in the turkey trot on Thanksgiving day. Just take your time and do what you can....Good Luck!
