I used the hal higdon 10k training plan for my first 10k. run 3 times a week, 2 short and 1 long and gradually building up to a 6 miler the week before the race. I've my second 10k this saturday and have been following a 10k improver plan which is 4 runs a week with 1 interval / speed session, 2 short runs and 1 long run.…

I used Hal Higdon's 10k plan for my first 10k race. It's a great plan to follow. You can do this.

If you log your walk it won't give you active minutes but it will show as exercise instead. In the app on the dashboard, go to track exercise and enter the details. I have a flex and personally I've never had any issues when pushing the pram, its always registered ok but I know other people do have issues.

Ok, I agree with the others that you may be obsessing too much with the scales. However I think you are reading it wrong too. In stones and pounds 8.42 is 8 stone 4.2 lbs = 116.2 lbs ETA: There is always going to be variation in scales depending on a lot of factors. Just follow 1 way of measuring and stick with it.

Please please go and see your doctor. I've read some of your other posts and you need medical help.

Why? and No and No again

Yeah that's the thing though, it wont be "dieting" for her. It'll be her normal eating habits.

It'a a publicity stunt which bears no resemblance to the reality of being overweight / obese and the reasons / emotions behind it. I know a lot of people are hoping she will fail but I think she will probably lose it all again easily, simply because for her it is simply calories in versus calories out. She said herself…

I have a garmin fr10, its the most basic model available in a garmin and was under £100. It does everything I need, tracks distance, time, pace, calories. It has a virtual pacer and a run walk interval option. Can be paused and resumed during runs. Can be uploaded to garmin connect (have to use lead on pc though as no…

If you want fitbit to show a specific workout you need to enter it in MFP which will the feed through to fitbit. Otherwise it will just show on fitbit as steps / active minutes. You will still get a calorie burn for it which should be more than if you were sitting down for that period.

If you look at the bottom of your diary under Cardio Exercise, does it say Fitbit Calorie Adjustment?

If you enter exercise with calories burned into MFP, that will override the calorie info Fitbit has calculated during that time. Eg say Fitbit calculates you burned 300 cals during T25 but you manually enter 209, the 209 will overide the 300.

Love it! My staple lunch in work is a toasted pitta with hummus and red pepper.

What are you using to track your steps on MFP? Do you have your MFP and Fitbit accounts linked?

I have recently had this issue after running for about 5 months. Did a bit of googling and turns out I had got lazy with my stretches after a run. Had a few days off and started stretching properly again, knees are fine. That plus as mentioned already make sure you have been fitted properly for shoes.

Don't try to do everything all at one, that makes it too overwhelming and setting yourself up to fail. Take it one step at a time. I started with less junk food and walking 30 mins per day. Then a few weeks later looked at portion control and increasing exercise

You should still be trying to hit your macros (the 40 / 20 / 20) even if you are using the MFP method rather than TDEE. The only difference is the way you would log your exercise.

TDEE is still a calorie deficit. It simply means that you have factored your exercise / daily activity into your calculation rather than having to add / eat back exercise calories as you would do if using the MFP approach.

I'm 5'6 and initial goal weight is 11st (154 lbs). I might re-assess when I get there. SW was 222.5 CW is 169.75

????????

The last few times I've had chicken patia / pathia. Its a bit like sweet and sour but not as heavy and very spicy. TBH, not sure if its lower in calories though!

I am doing the Causeway Coast 10k here in Northern Ireland in September, a gorgeous trail race along the coast. Hubby is doing the Marathon the same day. Only my 2nd 10K and my 3rd race ever lol

I weigh myself every day but only have one official weigh in per week which I record. I like seeing what effect the previous days food and / or activity has had. Eg I had an indian takeaway tonight for tea, still within my cals for the day but will likely show at least a 2lb gain in the morning.

My best is just under 35 mins. I've been running since end of March.

The MFP calorie goal does not take into account your exercise so you need to eat at least a proportion of those back. That would make it a lot closer to the TDEE figure.

There is an option in the MFP database for breastfeeding. It's under food but will give you a negative adjustment the same way exercise will. They are all listed as 500 cals per day which is what I always thought when I was BFing (although I wasn't calorie counting at that point). So half of your 800 wouldn't be far off.…

For me I would say a stone to a stone and a half to drop 1 dress size.

Thanks :d Ive still a good bit to go, still not even within a stone of a healthy BMI weight range. I'm eating more now than I was as I got a fitbit so it'll be slower now too.

Dress sizes are all over the place though. I bought karrimor running tights and la gear trackie bottoms in sports direct. Running tights were an 18, trackies were a 14.
