I am using the Forerunner 310 XT.

Heybales - I agree with you on the calorie accuracy with each exercise. I think MFP tends to give more calories burned than the actual amount. I change my calories burned based on what my Garmin says. Rasberry- Good suggestion on hydration. I probably fail in this area and need to drink more water. Thank you everyone for…

My workouts are a mixture of running, cycling, yoga and pilates. It's different everyday. I do try and balance my protein and carbs to prevent frequent hunger. I often wonder why my appetite spikes in the afternoon? My workouts are most generally in the morning or early afternoon.

Has anyone heard of Shakeology through Beachbody? What are your thoughts on that? I question those type of shakes and along with a high cost.

I like the idea of going on a chocolate fast. I have done that before and it did help. Somedays I only crave a food that has chocolate in it.

I think with everything in life somethings can become too stressful. Logging my intake helps me to be more watchful of what I am putting in my mouth. I still have days when I overeat but overall it does help me to stay on track. I am 10 lbs heavier this Summer than what I was last Summer. I can still fit in my size 6…

There are several floor exercises you can do to help with toning. Planks, squats etc. Yoga is good as well. Check out runnersworld.com and they can give you a lot of suggestions on core work. Looks like you have a good plan for your cardiovascular training with running. I usually work on core work 3 x week to help stay…

I am on week three of a 12 week half marathon training plan. So far I am doing well. Enjoyed a 5 mile run last weekend along the boardwalk at Myrtle Beach SC. It was fun running somewhere different. I am taking this plan day by day. I am so injury prone that I have to space my runs out. If my plan works out I will be…

Hi all. My name is Diane. I have been running off and on for the last 5 years. If I am not injured than I am running. I just completed week 1 of a 12 week training program for a half marathon. It's been two years since I ran my last 1/2 marathon. Hopefully, I will keep myself in check and follow the training plan and…

If I plan to run that day I will at least have a cup of coffee for an energy boost before I workout. If you plan to do a cardio workout that lasts longer than 60 minutes I would encourage you to have a slice of toast with peanut butter or half banana about a half hour to one hour before your workout. Now some folks can't…

Too many shoes!:smile:

I think it depends on the person. I wouldn't keep your intake under 1200 cal/day or your body will go into starvation mode. For me when I am on a diet if I stick to the plan I am less likely to stray off my diet. I do think having a fun treat from time to time is OK but again this all depends upon the person. I tend to be…

Try to stay 500 calories daily below what your daily intake is. Your workouts look good with having such a variety. I would recommend to work out one hour daily. Have one rest day per week or you can just walk that day. On days I don't feel like doing intense cardio walking comes in handy. You would be surprised how many…

For me it's all about balancing my carbs and protein. If I eat a lot of carbs my appetite is never satisfied but if I balance my intake with protein rich foods my hunger is more satisfied.

Our weight can fluctuate daily. I would look at your overall average weight for the week. Also near our cycle we can gain up to a pound from fluid retention. If you eat salty foods that can also cause fluid retention.

My husband and I currently have the Fitbit Flex. I would go with the Fitbit force to try out the new watch it has to offer if you like the idea of wearing it around your wrist.

Hi Everyone! My name is Diane. I haven't been active in MFP but want to start. Please add me as a friend so we can encourage one another with having a healthy lifestyle. To start the new year off I want to get back to eating healthy and to get back to my exercise routine again. The last few months of 2013 I have had some…

Log your calories and balance your carbs and proteins.
