I put it in MFP as the calories I have burned for that exercise. I'm just trying to have the most accurate data available.

The Garmin is about half of whats in MFP but Strava records it at about half of what Garmin does. I'm just curious why. Thanks for the input! I have been using the Garmin numbers and will continue to unless someone can explain why its wrong. Thanks again. Philip

I'm 41 and started eating healthy and cycling at the beginning of last year. By the time I turned 41 I had lost about 35 lbs. I let things slide a bit over Thanksgiving and Christmas but have adjusted my diet and am working on getting back into exercising 4 days a week. My goal is to drop another 35 lbs this year. My 40's…

C-130 gunship! LOL, I'm addicted to the ipad app.

I only log the exercise that I do that require me to prepare and stretch beforehand. I agree with you about the cleaning and shopping post. You can tell if someone is really serious about losing weight or being healthy by their exercise post. I don't doubt that people burn calories doing those things but I would think that…

I sold a testosterone replacement therapy when I sold pharma. The company was called Auxillium and the drug was Testim. Check out their web site and you should be able to get plenty of info.

Go back to your normal eating habit. Your metabolism will kick in and burn it off. A lot of people do that once a week to boost the metabolism. Just ask 4theking. He is down to about 9% bf and eats 1700 cals everyday except on Friday. Friday he eats about 4000 cals including ice cream, donuts and pizza. He drops weight…

LMAO!!!!!

Try sprints!

I have been told that men should eat a min of 1500 cal a day to avoid the dreaded starvation mode. I hit a plateau or went into a starvation mode because I was only eating 1200 cals a day for a while. I have done a good bit of research and discovered that just about everyone has a different opinion on this subject. It is…

I added running to my routine and the weight has started falling off again. I'm Down 5lbs in about 3 weeks. Good luck!!!!

I am soooo with you on this!!!!! I lost 30 lbs in 3 months and then 3 months... maybe 3 1/2 months ago I hit a plateau. I've been yo-yoing back up to 248 and all the way down to 243, but usually sitting at 246. I have been riding a bike up until this past week. I figured I would change things up and have started the couch…

Congratulations!!!!! So happy for you!! Keep up the good work.

Some meal ideas that I love: Chobani peach yogurt & raw walnuts 2% Cottage cheese and fresh strawberries and/or pineapple Tunafish, boiled egg on lettuce in a whole wheat wrap Thomas thin bagel w/ cream cheese & egg Chicken breast (boneless, skinless & trimmed) with veggies

Count me in!

I love Peet's Coffee! Major ****inson's Blend is my favorite but they have several that are really good! Check out their web site. Just google Peet's coffee.

Hi, I highly recommend drinking a LOT of water. I try to drink 1/2 my body weight in oz every day. Not only will this help you loose weight but it will also kill your appetite. I have to force myself to eat 6 meals a day. If I don't plan out what I am eating throughout the day I will miss meals or even worse, eat the wrong…

Banks, Thanks for the input!! My cheat meals have been Friday afternoon after work having a few (4 or 5) beers and then the same thing Sat night. My other meals on Sat have varied from very high in calories to not much different than the rest of the week. It has been very inconsistent and your comment has helped bring that…

Thanks for the input! I check my % body fat and log it in weekly but I am not focused on the numbers that much. I wanted to make sure that I was not loosing a lot of weight and my % body fat was staying the same or going up. With the exercises and eating habits that I have taken on, I should not have a problem. Just…

I've changed my profile settings so that it is now public. Thanks for help!!

Marin sells a very good bike and you will end up paying less than a trek or cannondale with the same components. You can also look for deals at your local bike shop. People come in all the time especially now, selling their older bike and upgrading to a newer one. Most of the time, there is nothing wrong with these older…
