I got the app for my phone and did the trainings to prepare for my first 5K. Granted I wasn't running the full amount of time that the app wanted me to run at the end of the training. However, during the actual race I alternated between jogging and running and sprinted at the end. I also felt like I could have kept going.…

You could be burning that many. Are you using a heart rate monitor or just calculating it from this website? The reason I ask is if you want a more accurate result I suggest a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. Are you looking to continue losing or maintaining your current weight?

I got the Polar FT1 as my first one and still use it. I recommend a higher grade Polar than mine because mine doesn't tell the calories burnt. (Unless you don't mind looking it up on a website)

I agree with em9371. Also, when you get canned veggies: look for no added salt, low salt or similar.

I follow the principle 6 good days and one cheat day a week. I don't go to fast food places every week, but I don't feel like I'm on on diet when I can look forward to having something like pizza once a week. I also try to make sure I work out on the day following my cheat day. As you can see on the ticker below, the cheat…

If you are looking for something that will give you a good workout, but isn't too hard, I recommend Power 90. It is made by the same guy who does P90X, but is designed for beginners. I used it about a year ago and now I'm on to the series right before P90X. The trainer on the DVDs is Tony Horton. I enjoy him because he is…

From? Not sure if you mean: Where was I born? or Where am I currently residing? Born: Port Huron, Michigan, United States of America Current: Tampa, Florida, United States of America

I actually saw on a health segment on the news that males need protein to help recover and females need carbs to help recover. That is what I'm currently going by and it works for me.

Thanks!

A geek friend of mine gave me a pin with a picture of the TARDIS on it for an early Christmas gift. If you know what this is, then you might be a geek.

I only accept friend request from either: 1. People I know in real life 2. Imaginary people 3. People who aren't imagined, but I don't think they exist because my imaginary friends told me they don't exist 4. Wild animals (preferably endangered species) 5. Minerals 6. Extra-terrestrials 7. People who can make me laugh so…

Over Thanksgiving break I went to my sister's house and she had me do "Insanity:Pure Cardio" workout. I recommend the Insanity series.

Two-riffic! Two-tally Awesome! Two-bular! Congrats!

My name is Ryan. I'm 35. I started MFP in January 2011. I have lost over 80lbs from watching my calories, doing the Power 90 series, doing a fitness boot camp, and doing the Power 90: Master Series. I'm hoping that I will be fit enough by the new year to be able to do P90X.

Good news is my quad is back to its normal self. I'm going to be restarting P90:MS on Monday.

200 calories of pecans is better for you than 200 calories of junk food. Pecans have the healthy fats and stuff, but as some others have said....moderation.

LOL, ok. Thanks for the tip. Time to get my butt back in gear.

If you want you may add me as a friend. I can provide recipes, exercises, and tips. I've learned quite a bit and am still learning about weight loss. You will probably teach me some things.

You have motivated me to start exercising again! Thank you!

Thanks for the smile you brought me. Now you should read about my epic fail while working out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/368419-silly-workout-injuries

You need rest. Just make sure you limit the amount of calories and sodium. Drink plenty of water. Once you get better you can kick some booty! Get well soon!

It is good to hear that I'm not the only one that has silly injuries... There has to be others with bumps, bruises or scrapes that they feel silly or ashamed about.

ok, i will tighten it till it decreases the size of my rib cage. The size says medium, so I'm guessing it will fit me for a while b/c I'm far from a medium guy. Thanks everyone for the replies. TTFN, R

Toning the muscles will burn calories as well. The routine I follow is alternate days of weight lifting and cardio.

You may add me if you like.

Counting calories isn't a need. I have the FT1 and love it. What I do is go here: http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm It's an extra couple of seconds, but it saved me some $$$.

Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work!
