  • Did week 12 day 2 today. Then ran a few extra intervals after. Logged just over 8 miles total. End of c210k is in sight. Starting to plan what is next.
  • Yes but I have found if I let my display go black it still tracks and uses very little battery. I run c210k run keeper and spotify simultaneously and use very little juice.
  • I completed the program 3 weeks ago and jumped right into 10k program. Just completed week 12 day 1 today. 12 weeks ago was scared about week 2 now did 3 18 minute runs with a minute walk between. The program works. I did download run keeper and have it going to for distance and split times. I also recommend spotify. Have…
  • Eating 1800-1900 a day, avging about 1.5 lbs a week loss. Maintaining about a 800 calorie excercise expenditure every day though.
  • What do you you have your goal set on in your MFP ap? Do you have it set to lose 1lb a week. If so, then the 1200 is the cals you would need to eat to lose 1lb a week with no activity. If you add your activity back into your MFP ap, it should be relatively close to the same 1700 ish that you get the other method. How long…
  • Weight loss is not linear. 10 days is not a long stall. Google of stalls and whooshes by lyle mcdonald. Great article. Keep at it for another week before worrying about making adjustments.
  • My boys (9-12) have been doing it for 5 months and love it. They are soaked in sweat when it is over and it is a guaranteed 2 hours a week they are not sitting in front of the xbox. They recently asked me to start them on a weight training program, which I think is directly related to them being involved in crossfit. I…
  • Spot on. Do a google search for the military's study on starvation mode. You will find that it is very difficult to send your body into starvation mode. The subjects were already very lean and subjected to extreme deficits and exercise. Bottom line, most people who say they are not losing weight due to being in starvation…
  • A cheat day can really derail your progress. I would recommend a cheat meal every 2-3 weeks. On this day, aim to stay at or below maintenance calories. It would be easy to go 2k cals over maintenance on a cheat day wiping out the deficit of 2 other days of the week. When I do have my cheat meal, I up the cardio on that day…
  • Disagree on having to have breakfast. Been intermittent fasting for a while, skipping breakfast eating two large meals a day and losing weight easily. Weight loss is about calories in vs. calories out. Meal timing is really irrelevant IMO.
  • Recently has been about 2 to 2.5 a week. For the first 6 months I started I was doing two a day workouts everyday and eating around 1600 cals a day. It was dropping at about 4-5 a week at that point. Have upped cals to around 2000 and dropped two a days to 4 days a week so the slow down is expected.
  • I'd use the machine output, but monitor progress over a couple of weeks. If using the output is not generating the results you desire, then adjust. At a 7000 weekly deficit you should be losing about 2 lbs a week. If using the output and tracking your calorie intake shows a 7000 cal deficit on mfp, but your weight loss is…
