Will sometimes do leg lifts/kicks/ holds from my chair under my desk, you can work your legs and core depending on how you do them! Plus it's really not noticeable at least in my office!

I do need to force myself to get on the treadmill even though I may not want to. I know once I do I will enjoy it and feel better about myself and actually have MORE energy. I did get on last night didn't do quite as well as I would like but I did SOMETHING and that's all I really need right now. On nights I feel to tired…

I think the shin pain has less to do with size and more to do with doing too much to fast. I started the program at 220 and had no shin pain but at 180lbs I was pushing myself harder and started to get pain from doing too much. I would go at your own pace and build on what you can. there were several times I would walk a…

Well I can't litterally lock the cabinets since it's a rental but maybe I could make specific snack times and make the cuboards off limits the rest of the day. Maybe I'll try that!

it hasn't been any more humid than it usually is...however I have increased my running time these last couple of weeks, on occasion though I'll get a side stitch really early on in the run like in the first 2-3 minutes before my breathing has really even changed much from walking, which I found really weird.

thanks i'll have to watch my breathing closer. It felt like a side stitch but thought maybe it was something else because it was up so high and not really in my abdomen.

thanks!

Thanks I downloaded the bridge to 10k program I'm afraid if I don't have a program I will slowly run less and less and eventually not much at all I really need the structure to push me right now!

Thanks I've been wetting the strap and rinsing it and did put it through the washer the other day and I don't think it should be the battery because I've only had it a couple of months. Maybe I'm not wetting it enough before I put it on I'll try using more water then and see if that helps any. What types of things can…

I never thought about the humidity but it has been humid here I'm in northern Kansas nothing like Florida but more humid than I'm used to.

I haven't changed my eating much that I have noticed and I don't think I need to take more rest days, I have been very inconsistent the last couple of weeks with when I run. Maybe that is part of it I'm going to try slowing down my pace and be more consistent on when I run (rather than taking 5 days off which happened last…

I'm a cheater but it's usually only a few bites of something I figure it's not going to ruin me!!! lol

I know I overpronate because I can feel it when I'm running in my old shoes, also the guy at the running store watched me walk and also said I overpronate. I'm not really used to having supportive shoes it feels kind of like a dull ache in the arch of my foot.

looks like you can use tofu instead of cottage cheese?

I've read two different things do you weigh the meat before you cook it or after? So is 4oz cooked a serving or 4oz before it's cooked a serving?

Wow yeah our chicken breasts are huge!...lol Thanks!

I was playing with the training settings, most of it is self explanatory. Can you tell me what "heart touch" is I can't find it in the manual anywhere....

Do you have any cute kaki capris with a nice shirt and some cute sandals!? Great outfit for an outdoor wedding

cool thanks

I thought it logged everything automatically? No does it not log everything directly to MFP? Maybe I misunderstood this?

I also worry about thinking I've burned more calories than I really did I think that's why I'm so hesitant to buy it I have a feeling I would use it as an excuse to eat more

Do you focus mainly on you weekly calorie goal or daily goal?.... I've been slightly under my calorie goal most days this week so I'm wondering if it's ok to eat a little over my daily goal tonight if i stay under my weekly goal?

I always used to take bananas, apples, oranges, all can just be thrown in a bag easily. Granola bars, or protein bars just look at the nutrition content some are no better than candy bars. I would also bring dry cereal (ex. shredded wheat, Quaker oatmeal squares, etc.)
