  • I just try and get up frequently and walk around. I drink a lot of water (2-3 liters during my typical 9.5 hour work day) so I do actually have to take a lot of bathroom breaks. We also have a lot of meetings so I try to take a less than direct path to the meeting room. My office building is laid out so that the main…

  • ditto on not doing it in a metal muffin tin - it ruined my nonstick pan. I prefer to use glass/ceramic dishes as they seem to clean up the easiest. I love quiche - I usually have as a main for dinner/lunch but obviously it would be great as breakfast. I do crustless to save on calories/carbs (not to mention effort) but you…

  • I live on the second floor. My neighbors have never complained, but I just don't want to be that annoying stompy upstairs neighbor. I've been doing DailyBurn 365 workouts for about a month and a half now. I really like it - new 30 minute workouts every day with a mix of trainers. Most of the moves are apartment friendly,…

  • I just got a mistfit shine (first gen) and really like it, the only issues might be connecting to a computer. It requires Bluetooth LE (low energy) and I'm not sure that it syncs to anything other than the mobile app (android and iOS). As of a few days ago the topaz color was $38 USD on amazon so it's pretty affordable…

  • I agree with stephinator92 - have something salty or supplement with sports drinks or electrolyte water and see if that helps. Also if you start out dehydrated it's likely to make the problem worse. I'm usually more dehyrdrated in the morning - since I usually exercise after work now and I constantly have something to…

  • I like this approach. According to my BMI I am currently on the line between overweight and obese. To reach the healthy weight range according to BMI should lose at least 30 lbs and an "ideal" weight calculator suggests 55 lbs (up to as much as 72 lbs to hit the low end of the healthy range) My lowest weight ever was about…

  • There have been a lot of great responses already but my two cents... Shop the sales - If there are multiple stores that you could shop at, check all to see which has the best sales If you can, stock up - portion and freeze extra for later use. Avoid prepared foods as much as possible - while convenient, they're not as good…

  • I don't have a HRM and don't plan on getting one - maybe when I finish grad school and have a "real job" :smile: I realize they are the best way to accurately track calories burned but that's why I was thinking that basing my workout on perceived intensity would be more accurate than the avg mph. I mean what the HRM is…
    in Base exercise on speed or perceived intensity? Comment by aurical84 January 2014
  • For what it's worth.... Most of my daily exercise is commuting to/from work on my bike. I compared the MFP calorie estimate entering the AM/PM commutes separately as well as entering the entire trip at once and there was no difference. I like this since it's easier for me to enter the exercise once after I get home at the…
