I sent my totals to our team leader. I did tons of walking at the monster jam show this weekend. My fitbit showed over 13,000 steps both Friday and Saturday. I did well on my logging and keeping in my goals-thanks to the great app on my phone! Though I must be allergic to the racing fuel fumes as I cannot talk today and…

Another 30 min. of cardio at lunch - and evaded three mobs of zombies!

Ok did an hour of my zombie run and 15 min of weights tonight. I'm adding done boxing moves during my run to satisfy that requirement - I'm sure I look comical on the treadmill at the gym!

Another 40 min cardio running from zombies and 15 min of weights. Had to force myself but felt better after it was done!

I just went back in and read the instructions for the team and yea I have all week to complete my cardio goal I don't have to do it all in one day. So I can do this! I will post on here probably daily just to keep me motivated. Yesterday I did my 40 minutes cardio and I about 15 minutes weight training with some…

Awesome Mel - we are very similar in our goals. I will probably post my daily goals to keep me motivated. Right now I'm praying for spring!!

Here's my measurements and my goals: Chest 41 Right and left arm 12 1/2 Waist 39 (yikes!) Hips 41 1/2 Right thigh 21 1/2 Left thigh 22 Calf 15 weight (as of last week and I am NOT using the scale to rely on but here it is) 170 My goal is to decrease these inches. Running: I did 2 miles with a 18 mile run. My goal is to…

Does our official start week begin next week, after the first episode on Sunday night? I was trying to figure out if we needed to do our cardio challenges this week or starting next week. I am going to get my measurements and my goals in to you hopefully today. I started out not having a good week - has been very emotional…

Will get my goals sent today too. I'm going with lose inches and improve my running time. I'm looking forward to this challenge and the new season starting!

Hi my name is Jo and I choose Mika and Lizzie because I am still working on my building my endurance and I think these two little characters are going to play a big part in the new season. I love Walking Dead and all Zombie type movies. Any futuristic, scientific, vampires, werewolves, zombie, magical type shows really.…

Hello. My name is Jo and I love Walking Dead and Zombies! I use the Zombie Run app for running and love it. I want to lose weight but my main goal is to be more active and healthy and lose weight and tone while doing that. I want to be on Team Mika and Lizzie.

I found that I am not nearly as active as I thought I was when I got my fitbit. But now that I know that I am really trying to get those steps up. So I am the lowest on my leaderboards - but it gives me a goal to strive for! If anyone is interested in being fitbit friends, add me as a friend here and we'll exchange fitbit…

I use Jay Robb -- taste great - mixes well even with just water and is not chocked with a bunch of additives it doesn't need. It is a little more expensive, but I think its worth it. They have a pack of single serving flavors you can buy if you just want to try it. I order it off of his website and have always had great…

My friend just sent me a walking video and its a really good workout - you don't need equipment - you walk 2 miles and it gets your heart rate up and it has alot of belly and core moves. I love Shaun T - but you can get some really good alternatives that's not as expensive.

Try Jay Robb - go to JayRobb.com and if you look under his protein products it does list all the ingredients in his powder. I think he is all natural with no additives, etc.

I have the flex and I work at a desk typing and writing all day. I actually tested it to make sure it wasn't recording steps while I was sitting at my desk doing my normal work and it did not. It has been really accurate as far as I can tell and not giving me bogus steps for weird things like typing, driving, etc. And the…

Hi everyone! I'm new to lifting - just did my stage 1 b2 workout last night, really love the structured workouts. I was major sore after the first A workout but haven't really been sore since. A little bit from lady nights first thing thus morning but now not do much. I will try to increase my weights next workout. Looking…

Oh yes also you don't get the step movements from the times your up and down - which to me is not a big deal - I figure if anything it just gives me extra calories burned I'm not actually counting.

I wear mine all day every day - except the shower and even though I know its waterproof I just don't. I take it off and put it on the sink and then put it back on when I'm done doing my hair. I started out wearing mine at night - I would put it on sleep mode and then wake it up in the morning. Though interesting - it…

Great info - this explains the process so well. I've just finished B1 and the information in this group is great!

I use Jay Robb. Love his products and I do believe they would fit your criteria if you looking for natural, no additives, etc. Plus they taste good and blend really good. I can't seem to get my protein in without adding at least one scoop of protein powder a day!

I just started - did Stage 1 WOA last night: Squats - used a 20lb barbell 2 x15 Pushups - not able to do full pushups for all so did 3 full/12 girlie then 4 full/11 girlie Seated rows - 40 lbs 2 x15 Step ups - I just used one of the steps I found in the gym with 10 lb hand weights x 15 then instead of step ups for the…

McDonalds Chocolate milkshake - I thought it was low fat ice cream so it wouldn't be that bad - now I just have my own whey protein shake. And actually the McDonalds milkshake was way too sweet. But I had been sick and so I splurged. And Taco Bell's taco salad - my absolute favorite taco salad - used to eat about one a day…

I find that I naturally fall into a IF plan of eating too. If I try to est small meals and make myself eat hungry or not - I get on a roll and it's hard to stop. I tried doing 5:2 and that didn't work well for me so I do a 16:8 - I am not hungry in the mornings either so I don't force myself to eat but will have coffee, I…

I'm just barely squeeking in here! I'll be 50 in July and I am active on the boards, exercising regularaly and have a new fit bit that I am using to track my activity. Feel free to friend me :)

Does linking it with endomondo change your calories burned?

Good to know - thank you!

So I got my flex and I'm trying to get it all figured out. I think I have it set up correctly. I have it set for non-dominant hand and I am wearing it on my non-dominant hand. Do I need to stride length and my running stride length? Would that make a difference as to how it registers my calories burned?

Ok I was able to get it set up and sinc it with my phone only. I created an account and went into the fitbit.com site and set my settings to a goal of losing weight. Now it is telling me that I can only eat 376 calories for the rest of the day. Shouldn't it sinc with my MFP goals? I read that the more you wear it the more…

Question -- can I use the fitbit with the Iphone app only and have it sinc to MFP without downloading to my pc? I want to use the app on my Iphone without logging into the computer.
