neandermagnon you took the words right out of my mouth...it's a lifestyle not a quick fix. I see people at my work on the medifast diet or whatever type of diet they are on and once they get bored or hungry and start eating their old ways they gain all the weight back and some. Or even those who go to the extreme when they…

good point. i did think about that, but thought was are the chances that a 5"2" female approx 127 lb could be burning 10% more than the BB said; i.e. on days where it already read that I burned 2400 an additional 10% would be a huge addition; and 10% deduction always seems unreal to me. I will have to play with the numbers…

THIS and THAT is an awesome ending. Best of luck. I want to produce a soap called when one love crumbles another begins...ha ha just kidding...but not really.

Bump!

take this info with a grain of salt and run it by provider or providers.... It sounds like orthostatic hypotension. Which is basically a drop in blood pressure when you go from sitting to standing or even stretching. there are many causes for this and they include (assuming you can perform the following interventions I…

You are going to get plenty of mixed reviews on here. :-) Here's mine to add to the bunch... I have owned a lot of fitness devices. Mainly because I'm the must have it when it's new and techie type. i had a fitbit when it first came out and then i asked myself what does this think do that a regular tri-axial pedometer can…

Polar ft7 Under $70 currently. I've mine for a little over a year.

T&F 100 m. They're speed is ridiculous!

@heybales thanks for this! @texastango I was just about to post the info on that article release when I stumbled upon yours. There is also a thread on the article if anyone is interested in reading them..... I've learned quite a bit between yesterday and today...basically netting the BMR doesn't really matter. Calories…
-
Hey I agree...I jumped on the Net your BMR or 1200 calories(which ever is higher) wagon when i joined MFP...I never heard of it before...and then of course with the body being so complex is actually seem to work a little for me...but that was a short term ride...
-
Okay. So i understand what you're saying general TDEE.Let's pretend I'm not as confused as I really am right now. I swear when I think I have it...I'm just scratching the surface. Here's what getting me....why does MFP set a deficit from your nonactive seated all day TDEE and when you add your exercise cals it appears on…
-
Okay so let's say I strength train, burn 100 calories in the process with a resting TDEE of 1860 how much calories will I eat to rid the fat? vs. if I do some cardio burn 300 calories I can allow myself to eat more calories to still create a decent deficit? I am eager to make sense of this.
-
so you're saying that it is best to strength train more than do cardio in order to maintain lean body mass on a VLCD...although I don't prefer a VLCD this arouses my interest...I'm curious to read what do others people think, can someone break this down on here? I'm going to spend some time analyzing this more. The initial…
-
bump...no one else experiences this? maybe my body is off? I get the concept that when you exercise there's an inflammatory process that causes fluid build up which last a few day...however what I don't get is why I get the swelling when I workout more than 5 days? if I don't get those two days off in I retain major water…
-
This. I think it's good that you recognize it and are speaking out and in your own way reaching out for help. On another note I do have days that I hate the fact the I have to feed my body! just as much as i sometimes hate having to void...yes TMI but the point is coming...it's the frequent things my body needs that annoy…
-
Nice! :-) wait is this a movie/show...? I am listening to the annoying lady on On Demand chatter...but about to turn on some NY MED, love-love this show...and then maybe some New Girl and P-Runway...miss fall, ready for those new shows to START.

It's all the smart phones! I know mine makes me a super woman!

Hi there- My experience with fitbit was interesting. I had some inconsistency that made me questions the accuracy or approximate of the calories burned. I am looking at my old fitbit log right now. I started to use a general pedometer again and I wanted to see how it compares. Below are my not so great feelings with fitbit…
-
Biggest Pet peeve Hypocrites...I can't stand it when some members on here support the eat a lot more to lose weight club and/or write a blog or a post bashing people for not eating enough but then you look at their food diary and they are eating 1200-1300 calories total...it's like uhhhh seriously? just saying.

1. pay off debt 2. donate some of it to charity 3. down payment for a house or if I have enough after one and two pay full for the house and split rest of money with family members.

Check out Polar or Garmin HRM with strap: http://www.polarusa.com/us-en http://www.garmin.com/us/ Heart rate YES Calories burned for a full-day -SOME OF THE DEVICES THE SELL HAS THIS OPTION IM NOT SURE HOW WELL IT WORKS Distance walked/hiked -YES Connect with Earndit or similar rewards program for motivation- IDK Food…

[/quote] I totally get what your saying...maybe one day down the road you may forgive her...hate is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. You will be the only one that sufferers for it. Right now take care of yourself... [/quote] This. This forum opened up a can of worms for me...and i wrote a long…
-
here's a post i thought you would be interested in....in the middle of the page there are three more links about HRM and all day use.
-
I didn't mean to burst your bubble. From what I read you're heart rate would have to be in constant Aerobic level in order for it to be accurate....but don't take my word for it research it. I'm new to certain parts of this whole thing too....but what I would do is set your macros to 50/30/20 CPF and then work on getting…
-
If it's an HRM with a strap I wouldn't rely heavily on that being accurate. I have looked extensively into this and they ie polar company explains that it is not for all day wear. If it is a body bugg then that's definitely more accurate and holy macro that's a lot of calories. I would use this site…
-
Awesome thanks for this. Really helpful. Do you train everyday and how do you split your cardio/strength? i love to train but i feel like when i get excited about doing all that i forget to put the fuel in...so I am trying to focus primarily on the fuel right now and then up the fitness. but I still workout just not as…

you should read the responses to this post...we posted the same questions in different wording. I got some good inputs here that may be helpful? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/670159-calling-all-petite-gals-and-experienced-weight-losers
-
Very straight forward...thank you. I was thinking I will try this and I will try to report back on this post in a few weeks. PS are you using the advance calc on the health-calc website or the classic? i say this because i have used both and the classic on a work day clocks me at 2600 (which seems to be a bit much...but i…
-
Thank you for your input! I do want to clarify a few things that based on the way I stated it may be creating confusion. My TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) is 1840 on a non workout seated all day. My BMR (basal metabolic rate) is 1410 (supposedly this is the amount of calories my body would burn if i sleeping all…

Oh man that's scary...what tests did you have to diagnose the osteoporosis? dexa scan? and what type of heart damage did you suffer? what are the symptoms or diagnosis? Are they reversible? i mean can you eventually strengthen the heart muscle with proper nutrition and exercise? I know strength training helps with bone…
