I preordered two units a week or so ago and they just emailed me for my color choice and address, as they will be shipping soon. So if you're on the fence about it, make a decision quick before the sale price ends. At $100 for two units it sounded intriguing and might be a good addition to my workouts. We'll see.…

Avoiding carbs like pasta, rice, and bread is extremely easy for me once I am adapted. I feel more energetic and less hungry in general, and I associate those things with endless cravings, bloating, and energy crashes. I don't allow a refeed, but I can get as high as 75 without going out of ketosis. Really I eat LCHF…

I just did my first duathlon earlier this month. It was 1.5/10/3.1 miles, which was a good beginning distance. The hardest part is definitely the second run; just remember that it is better to start it out walking than to hang around in transition resting. Either way you are losing time v running but less so if you are at…

I have chronically tight calves, especially after two knee surgeries. For about a decade every running session was a battle with calf cramps or shin splints. Now I hardly ever get either. Things I suggest include stretching and strengthening from the lower back down, or course (do reverse calf raises to strengthen the…

Yes, "marketeers" and scientists, physiologists, doctors and so on. Crunching the data, I have found my Garmin to be rather accurate, even for weight lifting oddly enough.

What is bikini body guide? Also, take a look at the following thread for setting up your HRM properly: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/548645/setup-polar-hrm-for-more-accurate-calorie-burn-for-known-bmr/p1

If you (or another app or device) are adding exercise or activity calories to you diary, MFP will pool that into your "calories remaining." That is the only thing I can think of. Otherwise it is some sort of glitch or something with your account.

You're trying to figure out your resting burn? Get your BMR and divide it by 1440 and that tells you calories per minute just staying alive. For instance, my BMR is ~1450 so I'm right around one wopping calorie a minute if I stayed in a coma. However, there's no need to subtract anything from the number polar gives you,…

I strive for a 1000/day deficit, which means eating ~1200 calories and burning 700 - 800 over BMR, which isn't THAT hard.

I've been eating LCHF since November. I lost 20 pounds in the first two months. I'm going a bit slower now, partly from having a more sedentary job now and not being able to work out during the harshest winter months, but I am still losing about 5# a month even with falling off the wagon a few times. ~50g net works fine…

I eat ~1200 a day, which puts me at a 1000 calorie deficit a day and 2 pounds lost a week. I estimate my daily burn, using my fitbit and HRM, at 1900-2300 a day, so that should be my maintenance calories at this point. I think I average about 5 hours cardio a week because of my race training (running and cycling combined)…

I weigh everyday (some people say not to, but its about what works for you). Generally my weight follows a trend of holding for a few days, then going up, before finally showing my weekly loss, sometimes in increments over the next couple of days. Then repeat. My weight graph looks like stair steps with a slight hump at…

That will change. The nice thing about LCHF is that you aren't relying on carbs and glucose to get you through your runs, so you aren't going to hit a wall where you need to refuel (you're carrying all your fuel with you). I go closer to 50g net carbs because its important to me to get my daily fiber. Avocado is good for…

20/30/50 C/P/F approximately, although I wish we could set ranges and/or grams instead for some things. I try to keep net carbs <50, protein at 100-120, and the rest from fat.

As far as I know, FDA doesn't need to approve a tracker because it is not a food, drug, or medical device. The bodymedia CORE armband was a strange exception. What type of sensors are you wanting? skin temp, heart rate, etc? Up3 fits that bill but is only available for preorder. You could also look at the Basis Peak,…

I just got a Garmin 920xt (red and white) but I don't have any pictures of it yet. I run in Saucony Cohesion shoes and have some Shimano shoes for biking using Look Quartz pedals on my Felt F85X cross bike. :smile: Hopefully I will have a Cycleops Mag trainer by the end of the day to get me through the winter. I will post…

It hasn't snowed here yet so I am still running outdoors 3-4 days a week to work on my distance. My cycling frequency has decreased because of the heavy winds but I am picking up a trainer I found on craigslist today and plan on using trainer road. Last but not least I lift 5 days a week (upper lower split) and I also have…

MFP is the one that makes the adjustment, not fitbit. Fitbit gives MFP an estimate of what it thinks your daily calorie expenditure will be, MFP compares it to its calculations, and then adds or subtracts the difference accordingly. Activity should be entered into Fitbit, not MFP. If your activity levels are set…

What does your overall program look like? There's really no need for dividing your workout by body parts, especially when it comes to upper body components. What six exercises are you doing? Are you using free weights or machines? Like many others, I like to promote the benefits of heavier sets (~6-8 reps) but for a…

I eat low carb high fat. Its really helped with my PCOS symptoms! The only thing hard about it is having a husband who does not eat this way and thinks that if we don't have the exact same thing on our plate for dinner our marriage is falling apart.

Here's some info to read if you are new to weightlifting in general: http://www.exrx.net/Beginning.html

I only got my garmin a couple weeks ago and it has almost never automatically synced to MFP. I have to go on the computer and manually sync it. I don't care about the calories but it is nice to have it show up in my feed :blush:

Use dumbbells. There isn't a magical benefit to using the barbell, especially if it is too much weight for you at this point. I prefer them anyway since they prevent your stronger arm from carrying more load and allow a more natural range of motion. You can either log your weight as the weight of one dumb bell or the…

I use a similar method as Dan in that I weight my pot or pan or whatever before I start my recipe. Once the food is done I weigh the whole batch and subtract the weight of the pot and decide how many servings I want it to be and edit the recipe to reflect that. I have not been putting serving size in the title but rather…

I'm 5'4"-ish (quarter inch under) and started at 163 in the beginning of November. I'm at around 143 now and looking to get my bf% down to 16-17% so I have another ~13 pounds to go. Feel free to add me. I eat Low Carb High Fat, run, bike, and lift.

crawfish pie! YUM!!!

^ Agree. Regardless of how you cook something, enter the components separately. In your case it would just be the egg. Do your eggs come in a carton with nutritional info on it?

What is your budget? Are you wanting an all day device or something just for your exercises? What types of exercise do you do? The above mentioned Forerunner 15 is a good suggestion.

Agreed.
