  • I agree. If you are targeting 1400, but burn 400 due to exercise each day...you should be eating 400 more calories, or 1800. (This is an example). Your goal is to TAKE IN 1400, not limit yourself to 1400 total. You have to eat the exercise calorie loss. Hope this makes sense.
  • Avocado slice, pepper slice wrapped with turkey breast slice. (I eat a couple of these at a time :D)
  • Everybody is different. Personally, I eat about 5-6 times a day. So...I try to eat about 1600-1800 cals a day, but only healthy stuff. I also work out 5 days a week. I think the biggest thing for me is to make sure I am eating foods that actually make me feel full (Oatmeal for breakfast, for example). Will it work for you?…
  • Your HR is a much better indicator of calories burned, but it sounds like you need to set up your stride etc. for the fitbit. See here for instructions on how to do this: http://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/How-do-I-measure-and-adjust-my-stride-length Hope this helps.
  • Yeah, I'd take it as a compliment, but clearly this person is just a tactless *kitten*. If this individual has never seen an overweight person in the gym they must not go that often. I don't suppose the gym has Stick boy Saturdays and Fat *kitten* Fridays does it? Of course not.
  • I researched all kinds of fitness trackers (jawbone, fitbit, garmin, polar, etc.) and for what *I* do, the garmin vivofit was the best for my purpose. Apparently the vivosmart came out days after I bought my vivofit.....had it been out I might have opted for it. Not sure if you need the more robust stuff, but the vivofit…
  • I cannot comment on the Rockin Body workout, but both T25 and Insanity are great, if that's of any help.
  • I LOVE spinning, but unfortunately I took a new job a couple of years ago and simply cannot do the classes any longer (my hours and commute time simply do not allow it). Having said that....I recommend it to anyone that can.
  • You would think they could make it so you could "link" certain parts of your account with others.
  • When I was younger I used to use them when cycling. Never thought they tasted that great, but they did help when you were starting to feel tapped out while on the bike. They were easy to carry in the bike jersey and it didn't really matter if they got bent, or otherwise mangled. Would I eat them now? Nope.
  • First.....DON'T GIVE UP. Second, without knowing anything other than how far you walk it's really hard to give advice. Having said that, I would advise that you find some kind of meal plan that works for you and stick with it - don't skip meals.
  • I tend to lean towards Brooks for running shoes, Asics for cross training etc. Since you want to start walking, you'll definitely want a good pair of shoes. Look for a sports type store (Sports Chalet, Lady Foot Locker, etc.) where people are trained to fit your shoe properly (there is more to it than just size).
