All my favorites. Love gobites...I will be taking those this summer!!

I'm going this summer and I'm really not going to worry too much because of how much walking you do...but there are healthy choices. I've already looked at the menus here http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/diningmain.cfm and found some healthier options. Enjoy!!

If you are netting 1200 after exercise, I would think you would be close to the 1750 Gross already on some days. I am about your size, 5' 2" CW 134 and when I started MFP I was doing 1200 + exercise but it was too difficult on a day off to go back down to 1200. Now I am set to around 1650 so that I have a consistent number…

I'm in Texas and I mostly run at night. For me it's not so much the heat but the sun beating down on me. It's still hot at night, but feels cooler! On the weekends I have been runnning trails in a state park and while still hot, I like the cover of the trees and when it gets really hot I will be able to jump in the lake at…

Thank you for the laugh!

I just ran my first half at 40 this year and my biggest help was not to run too much. To keep my cardio and endurance up I cross trained with Spin class 2-3 times a week and it really helped my running. Good luck!!

Great thread!

I like the idea and I sometimes keep mine in the sleep band in the morning until I get out of my PJs (maybe around lunch time??!!). The tecnology between the 2 seems to be pretty different from what I read on the fitbit blog page. They were talking about the different movements, like someone who is running but not moving…

I have the One and my husband has Flex. Several people have suggested the vibrate on the forums for the One, and I haven't seen anything with the Flex yet??? I took a suggestion and set several silent alarm times during the weekday so that I will get up from my computer and move. Mine start at 9am and go off hourly until…

Just had for breakfast today, and they were wonderful. High in protein and fiber...very filling!!

I pulled up the calisthenics to see the calorie burn and then added "The Rack" so that I could track when I do that one. Now I'll always see this when I pull up my exercises. Good luck with this. I will be doing it a lot more. I'm trying to talk my husband into starting it...he keeps putting it off until "later!!"

Nice!!

Do you have a link to a specific recipe or could you update with quantities. I'm horrible and winging in the kitchen!

I think I'm trying those this weekend. Yummmm

It's really helping a slow Friday go a little faster. Thanks!

:) Any excuse to get a good run scheduled!! I love iifym and not feeling deprived!

I just finished my first workout. This is my husbands but since he wasn't using it, figured I'd put it to some use. I was just searching for what others logged too. I think I'm going to log as Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups) vigorous effort and just edit say The Rack. I think that will be a good calorie assumption. For me…

I think this is just personal preference. I love the One because it also measures stairs. On my trail runs it gives me the "flights" I've climbed over the 8-10 miles I run (Over 70 this past weekend!!) My husband just got the flex, didn't even want the One knowing the flex was coming out. He doesn't care about the flights,…

Completely agree with OP. I love the weekly progress report that gives average calories burned. I put that in a spreadsheet every week since some weeks are more active than others and look at my 10 week average to set my TDEE. It's been working great. It also takes the calories I've consumed from MFP and gives you the…

bump

That's why I switched to the TDEE-% method. I was working out 5-6 days a week training for a half marathon and it was strange to have 1-2 days that I ate less. I now work out 5 days a week and it's so much easier to have a consistent goal. I also work out at night, so what if I planned on 6 miles but only ran 4? Then I'm…

Love it!

Sounds like a good plan. Best of luck to you!

Agreed. I'll answer questions when my husband asks what we have to eat, but I won't pack his lunch/snacks for work or monitor his portions. That's up to him if and when he decides he is ready. I also bought him a fitbit flex to track his movement since he saw how much I love my fitbit one, but I can't force him to exercise…

LMAO

I am 5' 2" and I have been as low as 107 after college, 120 when I got married and had kids (very comfortable there) and have fluctuated between 140 and 160 since kids. I am at 135 now working down to 120 (SW152). I set that goal based on my body fat%. To keep my current lbm and have a 25% bf, that is where I need to be.…

^^This

I was really enjoying this thread and laughing until I got to the short bus and helmet comments. Very unfunny. I say this as a mother of a special needs child who does ride a short bus.

Your slope formula would give you 22% decrease, which really isn't much different than the 20% deficit you had already calculated. It will obviously be up to you but you have room to up your calories above the 2000 mark. If you feel it's too much, maybe raise it a little on your most active days or look at your weekly…

I have the Fitbit One and love it. I have MFP and Fitbit linked, but I don't think I've every even looked at the food page in Fitbit??? I rely on MFP for my food and Fitbit for my movement. I am very sedentary and there are some mornings where I sit at my computer barely moving but then will get a lot of exercise in in the…
