Newb here - you guys are killing it! Yesterday was my 2nd day doing Stronglifts in the gym rather than trying to use my cable machine at home. Squat 5x5 @ 90lb (Smith machine - not counting any bar weight) Overhead Press 3x5 @ 45lb but it was too light so switched to 55 for another 2x5 and 1x4. Deadlift 1x5 @ 95lb -…

Thanks guys! I do feel great. More energy than I remember having in a LONG time!

Hey everyone! I've been getting lots of comments about my weight loss IRL lately, so I thought I would update my progress pics. Still working toward goal (have gone from 195 to 162 since Christmas) - definitely need to tone up - but I'm finally back in the "healthy" BMI range!

Can I still join? I need some motivation for the last 10 pounds and to do something other than just running for exercise!

Getting there! Still about 15 or 20 lbs to go. We'll see when it gets closer.

Waiting here too - since before Memorial Day. Hopefully she gets to me soon!

They'll replace it under warranty - their customer service is actually really good!

That's helpful. I ran the numbers as if I were you (5'6", 168lbs), though, to see where it may be overestimating and at sedentary with 1lb/week loss it gave me net 1300 something (1340 I think?) and lightly active it gave me net 1600. I wonder if there's just a glitch on my account? I've run my stats through other TDEE…

The calculation is pretty simple. Misfit shows a total burn of 2995 for the day. MFP estimates a sedentary burn of 1931 plus the 5.5 mile walk logged at 556 = 2487. 2995-2487=508 for the calorie adjustment from the rest of my daily activity (which included 2-3 hours of strenuous yard work, chasing/playing with my kids at…

CICO's always worked for me in the past too - that's why I'm trying to figure out where the discrepancies are. This is the second time I've lost purely with CICO - first time was about 5 years ago. Just gotta figure out why I've slowed down so much when my logging/eating/workouts really haven't changed since the first…

Not getting double credit - MFP takes the total daily burn from Misfit then subtracts their estimate of your NEAT + logged exercise and subtracts that to get your Misfit adjustment. So it's not possible to double log unless what you log is actually more calories than your total Misfit adjustment for the day: That article…

I know it's not an exact science, but only 1/3 to 1/2? Wow, I hadn't heard that before - thanks. I'll have to read up on it some more. It's just frustrating because for the first 20, I was blowing the "projected" loss out of the water. Newbie effect, I guess. Breakfast is pretty much either at home, at the table, with the…

Also, it's worth mentioning that I've been using the Misfit calorie burns this entire time, even for the first 20 lbs that I only had issues dropping when I stopped logging for about a month and a half - pretty naturally ate at maintenance during that period. I know your allowance drops as you drop weight, but at net 1500,…

Good idea - maybe I'll work to net 1200 on heavy exercise days, just in case.

I use an activity tracker - Misfit Shine - for calorie burns. I'll log runs/some walks separately via MapMyFitness, but that subtracts from the adjustment I get from Misfit. Misfit has always been on par with my HRM/MMF for instances where I've used all three together. For example, Saturday, I logged over 25k steps.…

Last Sunday was a total rest day, and I didn't do a whole lot this past Tuesday either, aside from just walking at lunch, breaks, etc. I don't count anything other than water whenI think about daily intake - I have a 32 oz bottle that usually gets filled up 4 times a day. 15 lbs in water is crazy! I guess I should feel…

I love this show - sad to hear that Kacy fell. I DVR it and haven't watched the latest episode yet. I wonder if I could work my way up to being able to go on in the next few years? Would be amazing!

Just keep at it! I started in February barely able to make it a minute. Now I can do 5 miles on a good day, more, possibly, but that's the end of my current route. Definitely more with some walking included. And I had a couple weeks in there where I didn't do anything. I started out with couch to 5k, then moved on to doing…

Over 10k steps two days in a row so far! 98 days to go :-)

Yeah, that happened to my husband's Flash - they sent him new wristbands. But then it got water damage, replaced that, then it just quit again. We returned it to Amazon and got a Shine instead.

That's insane! I just took a look at the leader board and the top team went 166 miles. That's 23.6 miles per person! One hell of a team they've put together there! My team averaged a little over 12k and did 35 miles. We're ranked 9000 something now that more teams are reporting.

I'm in for the mini-league! 13k+ steps so far today :-)

I love EAS 100% Whey Protein in chocolate - 150 calories and 26g of protein - mixes fine with water and great with unsweetened almond milk (only adds 30 calories/cup) Don't make the mistake I made and get the EAS "Complete" Protein and try to just mix that with water or almond milk in a shaker - that stuff is gross alone.…
