    in How do I add another category to my diary? Comment by burns429 July 2016
  • Generally, on vacations I track. 3 years ago, I was on a cruise and didn't track b/c (a) no internet access to keep it up and (b) buffet style lunches. I did, however, go to the ship gym 3 times over 5 days; took the stairs instead of elevator the majority of the time; and walked so so much. ENJOY!

  • the last 3 days are messed up for me. I went as far as disconnecting and reconnecting the accounts. Now MFP is calculating the wrong base burn and pulling the wrong actual burn from FB...
    in Fitbit Calorie Adjustment wrong Comment by burns429 February 2016
  • As a test, I did the dumby cardio on the last day that didn't show MFP Calories Burned = 1579 and deleted. This corrected MFP Calories Burned = 1579. I basically just corrected my exercise diary for the last 35 days. Thanks, MFP, for working so imperfectly. I didn't have anything else to do today *sarcasm*

  • I think I got mine fixed...for the time being. Here's what I did. It's an unnecessarily long process for something that is supposed to just work. 1. In excel (I'm a data kinda person and can quickly analyze in excel), put it what MFP was reporting as "fitbit Calories Burned", "MFP Calories Burned", the math assoc with the…

    in Pregnant and overweight Comment by burns429 February 2016
  • Here are two links to two training programs provided to 1/4 marathon participants (6.55 miles vs the 10k's 6.2 miles). I used the beginners one last year when I was training for a 1/4 marathon. They're longer than 10 weeks but since you've already established the 5k, you can probably skip to week 7.…

  • all of the fitbits are water resistant (not water proof, i.e. no swimming, no showering). But I have a flex. I'm a numbers/data person. Looking at daily burn vs daily food over the entire year and beginning of year weight vs end of year weight, I was off by 10 calorie a day (with a 75 calorie/day adjustment in my food…

    in pregnancy weight maintenance - calorie goal? Comment by burns429 January 2016
  • My ob/gyn told me not to go crazy with over eating... For my 1st trimester: I set my goal to maintenance and continued to run/work out. I ate back exercise calories. 2nd trimester: Still set to maintenance but added a negative 300 calories to my diary (could also add 100 exercise calories but I have a fitbit so it would…
    in Changing goals for pregnancy Comment by burns429 November 2015
  • I just ran a 1/2 last Sunday and had little appetite after; only ate about 1/2 of the finisher food that was provided. I ordered a pizza and snacked on that most of the day and had cereal for dinner. Ended up with almost 900 calories left on Sunday I did eat over maintenance a few days during the week so my weekly total…
    in If you had 3000+ calories to consume, what would you splurge on? Comment by burns429 October 2015
  • The BMI numbers don't consider body fat %. Two 6' tall men, both 250 lb. One is 5% body fat, the other 40%. Very different look, same BMI: "obese".
    in Calorie goal too high !? Comment by burns429 October 2015
  • NOPE. My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer March 2014. Only diet change he made: no more eggs over easy (runny, raw yoke) and medium steaks. The one huge change to his body: 6 weeks of daily chemo and radiation, you know, poison used to kill the body's cells. A year and half later (and a couple surgeries) he's cancer…

    in $30, 9 days, empty fridge Comment by burns429 September 2015
  • I'm set to 1580 at 5'6, sedentary, maintenance. My average consumption is 1800, though, with the activity I am doing. I've been fluctuating between the same 3 pounds for 6 months (I weigh daily which is why I see so much natural fluctuation).

  • I assumed early on that we were having a girl but the week of my ultrasound something clicked. I was certain our baby was a boy; maybe I was gearing myself up for the doctor to say "It's a boy". But low-and-behold, I was initially right, she's a girl and I can't wait to meet her!! 3 more weeks to go!!
