Fitbit is nice since it's so small and convenient and if you are doing mostly cardio you might want to get another. I compromised and bought the cheaper zip when my Fitbit Ultra got lost. I still use my HRM for weightlifting and it syncs with my Garmin 310 xt gps. Fitbit doesn't accurately calculate for strength training…

The thing I miss most about college is the free REC center with indoor track, gym and lap pool. Also a lot of campuses have free classes like Zumba. I know it's hard to find time to exercise so my friends and I made it a social event. Swimming was the best stress reliever and the showers were usually cleaner than the dorm…

You look awesome! Great work. I always compare my back photos because that is where you can really tell where you've had an amazing transformation. We all want nice backsides, right?

YMCA Baton Rouge....Doesn't matter where I am in town, there is one near me. I sometimes hit two a day because I love the classes and instructors at one and the outdoor heated pool at the other! So many options...great family rates. Also your membership is valid at any Y in the states.

I didn't lose a lot of weight doing Insanity either but what I did gain was strength, more muscle tone and the energy to keep going. I did the program twice and I don't have pics to post but I wish I did. Don't expect a whole lot of weight loss with it but do keep going. It gets tougher and you'll get stronger. When you're…

If I didn't "Cheat" when I have PMS...people would get hurt. Gimme chocolate!

You're better off drinking regular coffee or caffeinated tea.

I love this recipe also. I substitute Coconut milk for Almond milk and Almond butter or PB2 for peanut butter Sometimes If I don't have yogurt, I'll used cottage cheese or Vanilla Whey protein powder but if you don't do artificial sweeteners don't use most flavored protein powder as they usually contain aspartame (equal)…

I noticed early on that some items seemed to count for more in certain areas but it never occurred to me that they were color coded. This is brilliant! Thanks!

When I get too hungry I drink coffee....and 4 eggs....sometimes nitrate free bacon or two giant homemade pork sausages and grilled eggplant. Seriously....just eat!

I've added/requested several of you on Nike+ but I'd love to have more runners add me! Screen name Tricialew

This is great for both of you. If he hits a growth spurt and starts to have pains in his joints, It's better to not have him "run through the pain". Make sure you ask him if he's just tired or in pain because I would bet that he might not tell you about aches and pains in fear that he won't get to go with you. Otherwise,…

Yes...in this case I would at least discuss this with a nutritionist/ kinesiologist that i don't know rather than my doctor because this is a program NOT designed to her needs but it's a blanket program designed to make money from as many people as possible. I don't trust any program that suggests drugs to all of it's…

I promise you it's easier to lose weight after you've stopped smoking for a few months than it is to stop smoking. Different things work for different people. I quit during a bad bout of bronchitis and pleurisy. It scared the heck out of me. Patches helped for that first week. after smoking 28 years I just decided that…

Just finished the Gulf Coast Spartan Sprint. It was brutal as it was old school and super muddy. It was one of the few founders races this year. 4.2 miles with 30 obstacles (I swear they told us only 15 but they announced 30 when we got there). Do lots of upper body workouts. We had to climb at least five 8' walls with no…

For Tabata I use Gymboss...it has the settings pre programmed but you can make your own settings as well.

All presenting blood donors at participating Red Cross blood donor centers or blood drives from September 24 through October 22, 2012, can enter to win a trip to the set of The Walking Dead. If you needed more incentive

I did my first Warrior Dash yesterday with my son. I'm 45 and still about 20 lbs overweight. I finished under 45 minutes. As the above states, the running gets broken up by the obstacles and often you have to wait for the person ahead of you to get out of the way. The hardest part for me was pulling myself up onto the…

Yay...I was wondering what I was going to do...I'm almost through all the missions!

I have a Fuel band but it's seriously just for fun and to compete with friends. It's not quite accurate and doesn't sync with any site other than the Nike+ site. I mostly use a Fitbit and have tested it against my Polar HRM on each new workout that I do and it's been pretty accurate. The only time it doesn't give me a good…

Doctor Who...(the ninth or tenth incarnation)

That is the best homemade one I've seen yet! Great job for the costume and your progress!

Scottish. It doesn't hurt if you look like David Tennant or James McAvoy. I live in S. Louisiana now...every 10 miles up the road there's a new accent.

I started to sprint in the park when the zoms started chasing me and some dogs started to run after me thinking I was playing. I had to stop so their owner could get them back on leashes. I got dead.

I haven't had this issue but I've had long periods of silence (more than 30 seconds) before a new song starts or before the mission transmission starts after a song. It's random and I've used the same playlist for a lot of missions. That is with an iPhone 4s BTW.

You are burning a lot of calories and obviously working out a lot. Think about adjusting your carb and protein percentages in your macros. I upped my protein and lowered my carbs and it helps keep me sated most of the day.

I have 3 that are 17 18, & 19. All three raised with the same rules and the same consequences and the middle one is neat and clean, the youngest strives for that but never quite gets there (he says he forgets) and the oldest just doesn't care. I can't see his bedroom floor. There are personality issues there but I have…

This is not the first time I've read about this on MFP but it's the first time I've experienced it! Just last week I noticed how squishy I've gotten and from all the responses from the other threads, I'm actually kind of excited about that...progress, right?

^^^Best one yet! Did anyone mention Joffrey? No? Good...thats a punk name. I still like Rex I mean...really like it for a baby as well as a man.

My Step-daughter did this and it was really great! The situation was a little different since the groom's family was primarily from Puerto Rico while the bride's was mostly in Louisiana. So the wedding was in Miami. The location was perfect and the ceremony was intimate and lovely. I don't know how I would have felt had…
