Fitbit have no straps. They are either a clip on model worn on your belt, pocket or clipped to your bra, or a wrist worn model that goes on your wrist like a watch. They're basically just a really good pedometer, its the computer software behind their website and apps that adds power to them.

Yes, prior to about a month ago I was using fitbit to track my calories and logging most foods there, then logging what wasn't in their database on MFP. About a month ago I finally switched to logging all foods on MFP, which is why it is patchy before that time. Unfortunately I can't tell you the exact start date of when I…

Done. I don't leave it public all the time, but will for a couple of days. Thanks.

Yeah, as an example, today I'm on a 12 hour dayshift. I'm also scheduled to do a 5k run when I get home tonight. I have eaten just under 1000 calories so far today, so I already have 415 available to me for supper, plus my fitbit will sync when I get home, giving me probably around 700 calories available, which is a very…

I'm in Nova Scotia as well.

My burn goal is 3501 per day on fitbit as set by their automated system. I hit that when I run, usually within a few hundred below on days I don't run. I should clarify, I have my MFP account set to sedentary with a goal of 1400 calories. I then earn extra calories through exercise, and on most days my actual intake is…

+1, any woodland camo bdu's as lightweight as possible will keep you comfortable and help with camo a bit. They're not magic invisibility clothes, just might give you that extra half second or so.

I'm a fan of gadgets, but I have to go with the majority opinion here. Forget the gadget for monitoring calories burned and simply use the calculators on MFP. Its a simple easy way to get started, and then you can modify your plan after a couple of weeks of comparing your weight change with your goals for the week. If you…

300 calories in 65 minutes is not unusual. It depends largely on your weight and your speed. running in place would definitely have upped the speed factor. I burn about 450 calories in walking 90 minutes. I burn around 800 calories on a 7.5 km run. I have a fitbit, and I can't say enough good about it, when you can afford…

I really like chicken stir fry, and I make it with a frozen veggie mix that is about 1/2 broccolli, so hopefully its just that they've left it off the label.

You can only have too much ammo when you're swimming or on fire.

Actually, I was reading a news story this morning. Both the FDA in the US, and their equivalent Canadian agency have proposed changes to nutrition labelling, including requiring the potassium level on all foods.

^^^^^^+1 to this if you can well hide or camoflage it. Also, go to a surplus store and get some cheap good camo clothing and face paints if you want to really hide in the woods or look hardcore. A ghillie suit might be taking it too far, but would definitely hide you.

Take a camelbak and a lifestraw. Use the lifestraw for drinking as much as possible from sources in the woods. Lifestraw can be purchased at any outdoors store for about $15. This will save you carrying water weight as I believe in Georgia streams and lakes are plentiful. Drink fast flowing water when you can. Ordinarily I…

I can't speak highly enough of fitbit. It has been an awesome tool for me so far, although I still have 47 lbs to go. It allows me to measure all the little bits of exercise I get, not just the runs and other exercise. One caution I have though is that it only measures steps, not any weight carried, or other activities. As…

I don't think viewing food strictly as fuel without any enjoyment is sustainable. We're programmed to enjoy food, otherwise our ancestors would forget to eat due to other priorities, and would starve or be eaten by a predator. Food is enjoyable, we need to accept that. Also, eating out is often as much a social event as it…

Put this in more basic terms. Are you suggesting that eating fewer meals with more breaks in between would allow you to burn more fat? This seems completely counter to what most dieticians suggest.
