I just updated to watch os3 looking forward to this feature

I wish it would log the "other" title. Hoping now that you can relabel it whatever it is, that will sync with MFP

Exactly this!!! You want to have what is happening happen. weight is just a number. If the inches are falling off that is awesome and what everyone strives for

I guess what I am saying is this "Lifting weights burns calories. Your body burns energy to lift weights. The heavier the weights, the higher the intensity and the more calories you burn. Especially if you do full body exercises like Squats. This is why lifters can eat more than average people without getting fat." Go here…

True true true!

I beg to differ. My heartrate gets quite high when doing 5x5. Lift heavier weights and you are sure to see an increase in Heart rate. When doing heavy lifting you are essential doing HIIT. So calorie burn is pretty damn good when lifting big weights

I get how the fitbit works. Where I believe society is going to fail with this fad is that people are thinking just cause they have a fit bit or whatever on they only need to move around all day. You should add in an actual walk or actual exercise. Not just get up and do your normal wallking around to your car and to your…

Here is what I say about too much. Listen to your body. I have been doing crossfit everyday for the past couple months and run every so often to work on my cardio distance and seldom take days off. Some days are less work than others. But just listen to your body and mind. Do what makes you happy and rock it!

Congrats! Just remember its marathon not a sprint. create habits, not diets. Its a lifestyle change and make it sustainable. awesome job so far!

phew! HAHAHA I thought I must have misunderstood.

Train your abs in the kitchen and your body in the gym. Unless you eat right you could do a million crunches a day and never see a six pack. I train early in the morning before eating. I feel I get the best results that way. Then eat within 30 minutes of getting down. Probably not needed but its a system for me

Wait what? YOu are eating at a 50% deficit? Maybe I misunderstood. You should NOT being doing more than 25% and even that is not really advised for long term success

You CAN, however depends on your goals. If you want to lose WEIGHT then eat in deficit ---- If you want to lose fat lift weights Build muscle to burn FAT ---- If you want to increase your cardiovascular fitness then work on cardio. Most people have a huge misunderstanding of burning fat vs losing weight

I would not eat them back, unless you are actually doing exercise. The wristband craze of tracking steps and calculating calories burned by simply walking around would be sketchy. If you do some actually walking like 30 minutes or actual exercise then I would try to eat back only half of those.

I think like everything else. The beauty of Crossfit is that its scalable for everyone. So stepups are alllowed the way single unders are allowed at my Box. I only do jump ups, but have been tempted to step up.

I pulled a PR on my backsquat at 265 and front squat at 205. Now I need pullups and the damn DUs

I spent so long running on treadmills and doing cardio only to find that it wasnt blasting the fat like I wanted it to. So much misinformation on the internet about what is best, but for me when I started lifting and doing crossfit! WOW. The fat is melting off. I still run 10 miles or so a week, which is good for the…

I use my HRM monitor for calories burned. I start it when we warm up and pause before the WOD then start up once WOD gets going. My watch automatically logs it as calastentics? LAME

at that amount of calories I am surprised you can function. You burn more than that by just being alive and breathing. I am not a huge fan of the 1200 calorie loss. Slow and steady with slight deductions is the way to go. What happens when you exercise? Where is that energy coming from? Certainly not your food intake. what…

Here is a good article you may want to check out http://www.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding/best-ways-to-lose-weight.html

This this this!!! and more of this. More muscle burns more fat. So that would mean build more muscle so you can burn more fat

This this this and more of this And as others have said you can't spot reduce

From my experience the DVD programs are good for cardio, I did them for 6 months or so straight several a day and running blah blah. It wasn't until I started lifting heavy that the fat started to melt. Maybe try lifting heavy and lay off the cardio for a while. The building of muscle will take away the space for the fat.…

What kind of a smartphone do you have? My iPhone 6 was doing the same thing. Until I figured out that my Health App and My Polar app were both syncing with the MFP. To fix it I simply went into settings-privacy-ihealth- then turned off My Fitness Pal. That way when my Polar app synced with health app the data would be…

Kick *kitten*! SKIDALEEDOO!!! Keep it up you are killing it

The issue with wrist monitors like the gear and microsoft band is the acuracy. Also you usually cant check your heart rate while active. You need to stand still. I gave up on those kind along time ago. I want to be able to check my HR while I am running or lifting or crossfitting. I love my Polar H7 strap with my Polar…

No two people are going to burn the same amount of calories per dvd. Invest in HRM and get your true ( as true as a HRM can be ) caloric burn Or just use 200 for every video. I wore a HRM the entire time I did t25 for about 6 months and the calorie burn would change constantly

I know how frustrating it is when you have Android, part of the reason I switched because I love the Polar products so much. Now my H7 with my Polar M400 sync with my iPhone 6 which intergrates direct with MFP. Never been easier. I loved android but apple has this all figured out. Android is too fragemented

I use the Polar H7 Bluetooth HRM strap it works with my iPhone or attaches to my Polar m400 watch. By far the best combo I have used
