I have an Android phone, and it has the scanner. My dad's iphone does not have it. At least we can't find it.

I was caught off guard with the sarcastic comment that eating with me is "so much fun." My response (which just fell out of my mouth) was "I'm sure my funeral would be, too." However true and comment ending that was, I don't recommend using it.

I have noticed that, too. I don't have a HRM so I go with the lowest number to be safe. And yes, your calorie intake for the day should go up when you enter exercise. There are many debates on this, but that is MFP's way of getting you to eat your exercise calories.

Skinny Cow Ice Cream Bars! They are good and only 100 calories. Also, Jello Sugar Free Pudding. It tastes the same as regular pudding. Only 60 calories.

I actually call MFP My Facebook Pal by accident a lot.

I agree about eating below your BMR, but from my research being obese throws off the formula.

If you have the time and there is one in your area, Logan's Roadhouse has a list of meals for under 550 calories each. I just found this out last night.

I am also doing the C25K program. I am NOT a runner or jogger. The longest I have ever jogged in my life was from one base to the other while playing softball (I don't know that I ever even made two bases at a time). This morning, I jogged (4.5 mph) for 3 minutes straight, and I did it twice in one workout! I am so…

My dad was on a 4 month plateau after losing quite a bit of weight. I finally convinced him to eat more. He has lost 7 more pounds in less than 3 weeks. A male should NET (calories from food minus calories burned by exercise) 1300 calories a day at the very least unless under doctor's supervision.

I love my Asics. I have a heavy heel stike, and I just started jogging. They are the first shoes I have owned that I don't have foot pain.

To those of you with PCOS who have lost weight, were you on meds?

I have also just started the c25k program. I stretch after my warm-up and do calf dips on the back of the treadmill. I then put my toes together and heels apart and lift a few times. Then heels together toes apart and lift. I then resume the program. After, I stretch again. My lower legs are still tight but not painful.

I am just starting out again and have the same problem with shin splints. When I get warmed-up, I stop and stretch my calfs and point my toes up and down (stretching my shins?). This helps some. Just don't overdo it. Each time will be better than the last., and building up muscle in your calfs will help.

I am pretty sure OSHA would stand behind the workplace SAFETY drills. They are not a personal health agency.
