  • You know, that almost certainly explains at least part of the difference. The C25K app doesn't even have a guess at my weight, so I'm guessing it's going off some standard chart and probably taking a lighter weight. On the other hand, MapMyWalk apparently hasn't been synching fully with this website so it thought I was 20…

  • I'm using the free version. It syncs with this site. It said that I ran for nine minutes at 5.2 MPH and walked for 22 minutes at 3 MPH. That comes to 1.88 miles at an average speed of 3.64 MPH. The times were correct. MapMyWalk says that I walked for 1.97 miles at an average speed of 3.97 MPH. So the difference in terms of…

  • I'm also using the Zenlabs C25K app. I'm just did week 2, day 1. So far the app is pretty good but I've got some questions for fellow users. 1) Is the calorie count about right? It only gave me credit for 150 calories for today's outing, and only 143 for week one. For science purposes, I've also been running (heh) the…

  • Well heck, glad I asked. I expected a bunch of responses along the lines of "get more than 20 and don't worry about it." So OK, more diligence to getting fiber. Thanks, all.

  • Just to confirm what others are saying, Casbah answers this specific question on their website (http://www.casbahnaturalfoods.com/faqs/index.php#faqid175). The answer is marked as "new" so perhaps they added it after seeing this thread!

  • Thanks for the responses, all. I should have mentioned the scale; I've always preferred using one for cooking so extending its use to post-cooked portions was pretty automatic. And I eat few processed foods. I make my own BBQ sauce and granola, for example. (not at the same time) I think the difference must be the…

  • I I just joined this site. I haven't even decided how much weight I want to lose. The charts say I should lose around 90 to 100 from my current 255 but frankly I felt my best back when I weighed about 180, a loss of "only" 75 pounds. :-) As you are, I'm a lot more focused on health than a weight number. Later I'll decide…
