Yes. The idea is to wear the Fitbit 24/7, with a different setting while you sleep. When awake it tracks every step, whether done as an exercise or just to get somewhere, and it tracks calories, whether resting or active. Depending on your activity level it classifies your "Activity Level" as "Lightly Active" "Fairly…

I don't know about the Body Media Fit, but I've been using the fitBit for about 6 weeks and I like it. It seems fairly accurate on calorie counts, steps taken and distance traveled on a daily basis. The dashboard login is easy, but I use the Food calorie counter here as my food database here is pretty much set up. The fit…

I'm on Level 1, day 2. I just finished P90X and thought this would be a good way to keep things going but a little less intensity, plus I am trying to get my body fat percentage down to 15%, I'm at 19.6 now. I do another 15-30 minutes of cardio after the program and I am doing resistance traing at home (my gym is right…

Seen a purple cow, never hope to see one. this I will say anyhow, I'd rather see than be one.

I spent over 30 years in kitchens. The one thing I learened is that taste is completely subjective. Never having actually eaten crap, i'll take your word for it as it appears you have. :wink:

I believe that Ghrelin is an appetttie stimulant hormone while leptin is an appettite supressing hormone. sources: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17212793 http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=38891&sc=801 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghrelin…

Alomost every day, make it with water, add minced or dry ginger and a little honey.

In general whole grain products are better than refined products from a nutirtional standpoint. It may take a little time to get used to the difference in texture and flavor, but personally, now that I am accustomed to whole grain I prefer ir, across the board (whole grain pasta, brown rice, whole grain breads.) I also…

No fees that I'm aware of, and I've been using mine (a gift) for over a month now.

I'm in week 5 of my second time around with P90X. I agree the nutrition is imporatnt, but I am sticking with my regular eating pattern, which is an every other day diet. Every other day I only eat approximately 750 calories, and the other day I eat whatever I feel like. Generally I eat a sound diet, whole grains, fresh…

34 pounds lost by exercise and counting my calories here. Keeping it off by still counting my calories here and still exercsing. So yes, it works. But be scrupulous with your entries, even on the days you "slip". :glasses:

I was having similar feelings after/during my workout this morning. I think it is normal to feel this way from time to time, but you really do need to decide what is more important to you. At my age (53) there aren't too many more chances to "get back on track" with exercise and eating, so I remind myself of that. Find…

It might not seem crazy to you but here is mine: 1. Pay off all my stuydent debt. 2. Get the IRS off my back. 3. Sock away $2-3 million for retirement. 4. Buy my own home. 5. Buy my wife a new car, preferably a hybrid because that is what she wants. Living paycheck to paycheck like so many, and changing careers 2-3 times…

I am a firm believer that resistance training is the key to weight loss (assuming cardio and calorie counting are already in place). Lean muscle will turn up the volume on your metabolism and you will burn more calories while at rest the more you increase your lean muscle mass. So crunches will help, and add in some other…

I didn't use the nutrition guide at all, I just counted calories on MFPand still lost a total of 32 pounds and got my body fat percentage down to 15%. As for the guides: essentially for Phase 1 you do Ab Ripper X on Monday Wednesday and Friday, chest and back (Monday), plyometrics (Tuesday), Biceps, Shoulders and Triceps…

I've found that it depends on how active you stay. If you continue with a regular exercise program and an active lifestyle, and keep an eye on your caloric intake you should be fine. I actually continued to lose weight duirng my first 3 weeks of maintenance, but it leveled off in week four. For me the biggest learning…

If you can, try the Ab Ripper X (ARX) program from P90X. You can find home made videos on Youtube that will show you the routine. It only takes 15 minutes, but is an amazing Ab routine. I have been working out for 20 odd years and used to do crunches for 30 minutes at a time, but 3 months of ARX give me the best Abs I've…

I like to spread Tribe garlic hummus on Thomases multigrain pita, then cut it in eight wedges, cut a nice vine ripe tomatoe in 8 wedges, salt and pepper and eat one and one until its all gone.... :smile:
