    in Postcard Challenge, Round 4 Comment by fxdl2k2 July 2010
  • Thanks. I can walk 5K in about 35-45 minutes depending on humidity (live in OK), but the jogging part is hard on this middle-aged body. :mad: I want to give it a try, but I am the type who needs someone to hold me accountable with the exercise. So this challenge.

  • Congratulations! I just shared this article with a co-worker who is in her 4th month. She loved it, maybe it will be helpful for you too. http://health.yahoo.net/experts/healthieryou/6-best-reasons-stay-active-when-you%E2%80%99re-pregnant

  • I tried this website and it was grossly inaccurate for ME. That does not mean it will be inaccurate for others. These were pretty close for me: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html; http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/library/blbodyfatcalculator.htm; http://www.livestrong.com/tools/body-fat-calculator/

  • Switch to plain Dasani water. Only the flavored Dasani waters have sodium and it is only 29 mg per serving (73 mg per bottle). If you don't like plain water, try adding your own flavorings such as lemon, lime, orange, cucumber slices, or fresh mint.

  • It depends on the system. Some systems are set on the water heater, but the majority are at the incoming source for the house.

  • I think that it depends on the person. It is very close to accurate for me right now.
    in MFP Exercise Calculator Comment by fxdl2k2 July 2010
  • One step at a time. Each time you walk on the treadmill, you can go a little farther or a little faster. It took 18 months to have those two babies! You are not going to be back to pre-pregnancy fitness/weight in a few days. Just keep at it.
    in Calories burned while cleaning Comment by fxdl2k2 July 2010
  • There are 3--20 minutes segments in one hour, so if you walk 1.5 miles in 20 minutes, take that times 3 and you have 4.5 mph.
    in Calories burned while cleaning Comment by fxdl2k2 July 2010
  • I have found MFP to be quite accurate on the settings. As for calculating the jogging/walking--see how far you go in that 20 minutes to calculate your miles/per hour. Example: If you jog/walk 1.5 miles in 20 minutes, that is 4.5 mph and should give you a nice estimate (probably a little low actually) on calories burned…

  • My official weigh-in is monthly, but I do weigh myself every day to monitor for any water retention. I can easily change 2 - 3 pounds a day due to water. If I see the scale jump, I double my water intake for the day to purge the system of excess sodium.

  • Olive Oil is a "healthy" fat. Count it all for calories, and whenever possible substitute EEOV for any other oil that you use. Our bodies need a small amount of fat in the diet to be healthy.

  • Hi ladies I haven't been too active on this discussion. This weekend was a splurge weekend for me. Today, it back on track. I need to drink about 2 gallons of water to wash out all the sodium and junk that I consumed over the weekend. On my best behavior for the week. :smile: It will be a busy week as I prepare to attend…

  • I drink close to a gallon of liquid per day. I keep a 23 ounce glass at my desk and drink it at least twice per day, then about 32 ounces at home every evening and I drink at least a 32 ounce glass of unsweet (no artificial sweetener either so it counts as a water source) of black tea for lunch. I will sometimes grab…

  • I can't let this one go because I see it so very often. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same amount, a pound. Fat is less dense, so it takes up more room. It is possible that water is being retained as the muscles repair themselves from the increased workouts. Give it time. I bet you are in for a pleasant…
    in 3,100 calorie deficit and still gained a pound?...What gives Comment by fxdl2k2 July 2010
  • It is a core builder, you may want to log it as strength training. It was many weeks ago, but I did find a site once that said you would burn about double the calories on a ball compared to sitting in a chair. A different weight tracking site said that an average woman weighing 135 pounds would burn approximately 60…
