I use a garmin watch while running. What is garmin connect?

Glad to hear from you. Keep in touch!

I am not in the seattle area - Winnipeg Canada actually - but can support you. I had lost 95 lbs now gained back 60 - depression being a big part of it. Eat to feel better. But I have turned a corner and am focusing on the little changes and challenges each day and working towards winning more of each.

Building a keeping trust is so important. Treating them like an adult is key. I have 2 daughters 16 & 17. We keep talking about all things going on in their lives. I also keep them busy with activities that they want to do. I go to all their games except when they play the same time slot. My mind set is a little different…

That is so true. One little thing at a time. Each change is a victory in the battle. Enough of these over the long term will win the war for us!

Right there with you. I lost 25 lbs last year and have since gained it ALL back. I know it has to do with depression about where I thought I would be in this stage of my career. Bad Food satisifies it. I finally got back into exercising this past month. I was literally a battle! I started then stopped after a few days.…

Agree with Jester!

Proper athletic therapy is best. I have tried on chiros on several occassions to no avail. A buddy of mine goes every week for chiro. I ask why. He feels better afterward. Symptoms treated but not curing the ailment. Cash grab. Proper physical activity with corrent stretching and strengthening works best.

Depends. Definitely kitchen will come into play. If you are going for definition then your body type will come into play. I've read that only 5% of the population has the body type to generate the 6-8 packs. No target loss - just total body reduction. For me the last area to lose is the stomach - period. Has always been…

Invite friends so that people can support you and vise versa. It helps keep the motivation up. i just rejoined 3 weeks ago myself. Feel free to send an invite to me.

feel free to add me. Been here only 3 weeks (2nd time round though).

i am on daily

Just re-joined a few weeks back. Feel free to add me.

Not sure if I did this alrady, but include me please if there is room. July 1 is perfect for me as I weigh myself Monday mornings after a work week of punishment and hopefully not too much relapse on the weekends.

Did not know that myself. Thanks

As a mid-distance track coach, I tell my high school athletes, we warm up, stretch,do excels, train (run their distances), then do circuit. What ever your priority is you do first, as you have the most energy then. For runners, if they did circuit training first, they wouldn't as effective when running. So if lifting is…

me too please.

Calisthenics or circuit training is what I use because when I am breathing very hard and sweating a ton when weight training.

I run outside 3 days a week. And even early in the morning, the humidity sucks. But I go. Yesterday's run, my oldest daughter joined me for the run. She wasn't suffering like I was at all but the company was nice. Made the time fly but talking while running was hard (breathing hard). More motivated to be as fir as her.…

Oh well, tried and failed. Soething else to shoot for!

ditto

didn't want to have to buy new BIG clothes just after I got rid of them 2 years ago. Everything is tight and I am really conscious of how I look now - huge negativity, and my oldest daughter just ran the 1/2 marathon in 2 hours. I used to be in better shape now not so much..

count me in

Rejoined for the same reason. Let's do it!

Each decade it gets harder as your body changes. Having a strong foundation/good habits is what I am telling my girls. I've noticed losing weight in my 20's was a piece of cake, 30's harder now mid 40's even harder (stupid roller coaster of gaining/losing weight). It is a life long decision. Just keep the confidence up and…

You can do it if you manage your time. Exercise will give you the energy to do both! I just got back last week after away a couple of years. I track my exercises but not my food so I know what your talking about.

To address the same concerns, I've purchased a Garmin watch that tracks distance travelled and has a heart rate monitor. This way I can still run and be smart about it. Garmin® Forerunner 310XT with Heart Rate Monitor…

Regretfully, most people exercise hard to entice attraction when dating. Then it goes away when together. But when one wants to get fit again, it has been because of interest from someone else or interested in someone else - lots of time. Just spend more time with your partner. Have him join you in your exercises, etc..

Just started up again. I'm interested. My first MFP challenge. Should be nice for additional motivation.

Mine is open. I post most of my exercises to see what I can eat for the day but I am bad for inputting food data.
