I personally only record aerobic steps. These are the steps that really get the heart pumping. I know the other steps that I have taken, and I log them under exercise notes. I generally walk around 12,000 steps minimum each day at my job.....but I don't account for them on MFP. I figure the real test isn't the number of…

4.5 miles on the treadmill....3.8 mph.....uphill....ave heartbeat 147.....1 hour 7 minutes.....burned 700 calories.....

I was drinking minimum 3 32 ounce cups of Diet Coke every day for years. Once I decided to stop (with help from family and coworkers) I lost 15 pounds very quickly. The cravings were bad for the first week.....now just the thought of drinking a pop holds no interest for me whatsoever. I've not had any pop at all in several…

I personally don't eat back my calories burned from exercise. I do try to eat smart and healthy. but don't want that much food in me any more. I stick to my 1300-1500 caloreis of food, period. The trick is to spread the calories out throughout the day to avoid hunger later.....

I drink flavored waters and Ice Tea. There are flavor additives on the market (crystal light, mio, etc) that give the water some flavor

I used to drink Diet pop.....alot. I mean ALOT!! After all, it's healthy, right? WRONG! There are ingredients in Diet pop that inhibit weight loss. Once I stopped drinking pop I lost 20 poounds.....fast!! I've not had any pop now in 3 months and feel better for it!!

My calorie goal is 1500 each day. I am not in the practice of eating back my exercise calories in hopes of jump starting my weight loss. I spread the calories out through the day and have not felt the need ( or desire) to eat extra.

I find that if I don't eat something I tend to run out of gas before I complete my workout. I generally wait about 45 minutes after eating before I go to the gym. My breakfast is generally 250-300 calories, and I don't feel weak or tired when I do that.
