  • Hi Hoss, I was under the impression that body can change composition even without eating at a surplus (takes what it needs from the fat to build the strength that is demanded to do whatever work is required...IE:lose fat gain muscle) (toys with getting out the stupid biochemistry books out)

  • I can vouch for him. he has been on a lot longer, but gained back a bunch (he feels he lost his rock start status) so started a new profile for a fresh start. That said... I'm going to go with "What is TDEE?" "What is TLDR?" and my personal favorite "Weight lift? I'm a GIRL! I don't want to get BULKY!!!" That ought to keep…

  • I copy/paste into Cozi.com under the menu options...that way it will automatically transfer to my cozi.com shopping list AND I will always and forever have it! Free app...though I pay for extra functionality. (Less than $30 for the year!) cozi.com is a great app for the family. I have different colors for different family…

  • check out Body By You and You Are Your Own Gym (which has a $2 app)...oh, and Nerdfitness.com all of which start with body weight resistsance. I have a cubicle at work where I can do planks and such. I try to use the restroom upstairs. I try to practice belly rolls (like from belly dancing) while on hold/while driving.…

    in Pre-Logging Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • Just to clarify, I think some people are using pre-logging to mean they plan thier meals for the day and then enter them in. What I mean is actually look something up before I put delicious temptation into my mouth. Thus avoiding "buyers remorse"...which in this case could be called "eaters remorse?" Example: Today is…
    in Pre-Logging Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • I meant, in a moment of weakness, I take a moment to log it...that can sometimes make me feel stronger and avoid the temptation. It is easy to delete then, if I decide the calories arent' worth it!
    in Pre-Logging Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • was doing really well with it...hit a rough patch in home life...now all of those issues are settled...or as settled as they can get...and I'm trying to get back to logging. If I am not in a situation where I can measure/weigh, I make sure to OVERESTIMATE. I view logging as documenting monetary transactions...if I want to…
    in How long can you keep up with logging Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • It does track the speed/intensity of your MOVEMENTS...You can see this if you check out the website. One of the tracking blocks is minutes active...where it is broken into light, moderate and active. A fun but superfluous feature is the more active, the taller your flower grows (fitbit one). It is not a heart rate monitor…
    in heart rate montior or fitbit? Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • I use my fitbit daily. Because my goal is to increase my step count...so using the bathroom upstairs at work and such...I like knowing how many floors I've climbed and trying to up my daily all day movement. A very different goal than finding out how much you burned during a particular workout. You can go to fitbit and set…

    in If Santa could grant you one gift, what would it be? Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • I sync because I like that it is easier to log food and water in MFP and all of that info transfers to Fitbit site. (Used less than MFP, but I like the info to be there.) I like the exercise credit for the walking that I do, but I do NOT have the "predictive" thing turned on. (a feature that is great for some...not so…
    in FITBIT equipment Comment by mjterp December 2013
  • There is a way to adjust the fitbit to YOUR step length. There is a fitbit community group on MFP that has people that know how to make those changes. You can also adjust your calories burned to be predicted or actual...sometimes if you did a great workout the day before, that burn keeps going and I believe it is…

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE my fitbit ONE!!! It is a part of my getting dressed every morning (I clip it to the center of my bra). The app on my cell phone just updated a couple days ago and now it isntantly updates on my app. I have found it to be amazingly accurate. It knows the difference between going up an escalator or elevator or…

  • I try for that same volume while I am awake! It is recommended that you drink half an ounce for every pound of body weight. (weight in pounds divided by 2 in ounces) Making this habit has made a HUGE change in how much I eat AND in how I feel. YES, at first I spent a TON of time in the bathroom, but now that my body is…
