Do you have any "issues" with GPS telemetry pick-up with any of these devices? I guess what I'll looking for, is someone to say "Yep, I know that live in a marginal satellite reception area, & have noticed the receiver on the (insert device here) seems to work the best".

In the gym, I do every-day strength training (divided into lower, than upper body every-other-day, each, Cybex Eagle machine workouts), and everyday cardio as a warm-up (at least). I also try to go out and run/bike/walk in the evenings every-other-day, if I can. Not sure if this "is recommended" - but it makes sense to me.

I can feel your pain, I've "been stuck" for coming on 6 weeks, and it's tempting to try "a magic pill" to try to unstick this plateau that I'm mired-in. People may have used humor here to suggest that you just may be wasting your money, but remember, you set the tone of this thread, in-effect, by challenging others to…

Schmucks... OUCH! Perhaps overly naive would be a kinder term. People very desperate for change vs. advertisers without conscience... advertisers win every time.

After age 50, one learns to relish this... Ahhhh!!

Your pissed-off... GOOD FOR YOU! Stay that way, but keep it in perspective - every journey starts with that first (or 11th) step. You can do this!!

Rice Cakes... really??? I'm a real fan of Quakes, the caramel ones taste like a real treat, and... 16 mini-cakes = 120 calories. This to me is a no-brainer! I'm also a fan of another non-food; Special K cracker/chips... 30 chips = 110 calories. I'll freely admit that neither of these can be found in nature, & I'm a…

It seems to me that he'll need to commit to whatever it takes to lose the weight, if he's too lazy to sign-up, won't he be too lazy to make a lifestyle change? I'm not being a smarta$$ here, either, but I wasn't able to lose till I committed to lose. It's a worthwhile struggle (IMHO), but a struggle none-the-less.

WOW, what a change!!! You're my "Today's Inspiration"

ROFL - I worked in a sub/ice cream shop during my HS years, and I've never been thinner! I can tell you that, sadly, after 20 years or so, the aversion to sub sandwiches and ice cream go away! ...Oh well!!! ;-)

Interesting - I have Endomondo Pro/Zephyr HRM, and it tends to read much higher than MFP. I just got back from a walk, Endomondo calculated 357kcal, whereas MFP calculates it to be 285kcal. Accoeding to Endomondo, I walked an average of 4.16 mph, so I used MFP calculations for walking at 4.0 mph - but the difference…

Yes, what everyone else is saying - you need to get shoes that fit properly. I had shoes that cost a bundle and looked nice & sporty when I first started to run... what a pain (literally)! It'll be worth the extra few dollars & minutes to get your shoes professionally fitted by someone who knows what they're doing & what…

110% inspirational - congratulations, and thanks for sharing!!

Bose has in-ear buds that have these rubber "thingys" (that's a technical term ;-) ), that hook-onto your ear's upper ridge... I have problems with regular ear buds, but these do the trick for me. They sound great, also!

I'm not trying to be a bonehead here - really I'm not... but I'm wondering if you should perhaps change your goal instead to something like living a healthier lifestyle in the future... forever, instead of setting a finite weight goal by a specific time? Last December, I set a goal to run in a 5K run by the spring, and…

More of the same, as far as advice... OK, so you had a setback - learn from it, and then move-on. Guilt doesn't do you any good. It WILL be OK!
-
Yeah, what he say!! Congratulations on an AMAZING transformation!!
-
Hmmmm, I listened to audiobooks when I first started to walk (waaay back in November ;-) ), but when I started to run, I switched to listening to music. I've taken my music mixes to the extreme; I've discovered that I run best at 156 beats/min. I've created run mixes that segue perfectly (so that my pace doesn't change),…

Consider resistance bands - they are compact, and really do work. I have a set of BodyLastic bands which I feel are very nice (No, I don't work for them). There's also a VERY comprehensive set of free online videos at liveexercise.com.

Sorry - no suggestion here, but I sure hope that someone has one... I HATE the taste of water in plastic!! Even Nalgene leaves a plastic taste in my mouth. Yuck! I think that we're going to have to buy an aluminum H2O bottle.
-
I can tell you how I tracked... Under Exercise/Cardio - I added-up total time walking & entered that as, well, walking (4mph, for me). Then I did the same for the total time that I ran, I assumed a 10-min. mile for running. C25K is a great program, you WILL succeed!! (but best of luck anyways!).
-
Mehh, learn-from, but don't fret-about it... there's nothing that you can do about it anyways. I know that once I start to obsess about overindulging at a meal, I get "the guilts" and then (yep) start to guilt-munch. Sounds stupid when explained in a sentence, but it's true - go figure. Just let it go!
-
Have perhaps considered a pare of water shoes, like what you'd wear in a rocky lake?
-
Hmmm, my intuition says that you'd be more than doubling, especially if you are stretching the bands a considerable distance. The bands only stretch so-far, before you extend beyond their normal usage limit, and meet greater resistance. I have a feeling that you'd have a different feel, by stretching 2-30lb bands, as…
-
Definitely! Still do!! You need to start thinking more selfishly - to hell with what others think. Hey, at least you want to do something about "your flabby backside", which is more than many. Go For It - C25K is Excellent!!

I've started using my smartphone (which isn't flawless) and am waiting for my Zephyr HxM to arrive in the mail. Does anyone know whether the Zephyr and MotoActv talk to each-other?

OK - I haven't been running for very long, so I have only 1 length of run at this time, which seems long to me (5K, approx 30 mins.), 2nd. song is important, because that's when I flag for some reason... Kelly Clarkson - What doesn't kill you I know - corny!
