I'm having the same issue (Garmin data no longer going to MFP - and vice versa). Everything seemed to be working last week and then there were a couple days of this random "Garmin Calorie Adjustment" and now nothing. Help!!???

Kind of depends on your goals. If you're looking to lose weight, today's diary (at a very quick glance) looks okay in terms of overall calories/nutrition. Skipping lunch (and I'm the pot calling the kettle black, FYI) isn't always helpful, though. Just my $0.02 (worth half that) and YMMV

Kudos on being able to stop by after work! I have to go in the AM - I lose motivation by the hour during the day :) By the time I'm headed home I have a really hard time stopping for a workout.

It seems I'm in a similar spot; I'd like to lose another 8 or so pounds (check the ticker for the exact number), but I'll get there pretty soon - my big issue will be getting my body fat number down. In the past I was able to get my body fat low by going on a relatively high protein diet, but any other advice/opinions are…

Daily. Every morning right before I go to the gym. I used to weigh myself again after long runs or rides to see how much (water) I'd lost, but I'm much more rational now ;)

Mine is also open 24/7. Wouldn't have joined otherwise.

I usually also keep a spare pair of headphones, water bottle, and an emergency protein bar in my bag.

My PF (SoCal) has 4-5 benches and a good set/range of free weights. I've been able to do my normal free weight routine there without issue.

I just joined PF last week. I've been curious about the 30 minute express workout, but haven't done it yet. You guys have talked me into it - I'll be doing it tomorrow AM!!

I got a Withings scale about a year ago. It works great and automatically uploads weight and body fat to the Internet. And now it sends it to MFP as well - too cool!

I used to use Polar for heart rate, but now use Garmin products for heart rate & GPS. Almost everything out there is good nowadays, just make sure that the product has a chest strap - the wrist or finger monitors aren't accurate.

Good advice. Thanks. My plans for the holidays: Halloween - Just avoiding the candy altogether. I'm better at going without than trying to limit myself when it comes to candy - much easier for me to have none than just a couple pieces. Turkey day - Tough one, but at home this year, so the plan is to keep it healthy, skip…

I used to jump rope between sets at the gym - made for a great (and very efficient - no lost time) workout. Just started working out regularly again this week; I plan to bring the jump-rope back next month.

#2; use it for over-eating as well as anything else

I just joined a PF here in SoCal - only because it's new and no one goes there yet. I get to the gym at ~5am and am literally the only person there. At my old gym (24hour; still have the membership), the place is >75% full at that time. $10/month is well worth it to have the gym to myself ;) (FWIW, I do find the pizza and…

I've been there also, and it gets harder (for me anyway) as you keep pushing it back day after day. I've found that writing down and committing to a workout schedule is key. There are still days when I have to force myself to go in, but they are fewer - and on those days I literally force myself to go. I may concede to an…

Amazing and inspirational. Congratulations!! I don't have quite so far as you've already gone, but you've reenergizrd and motivated me. Thank you!

Me too! I'm now getting back on track - I can use some accountability!!

+1!!! I get to the gym by 4 in order to get 90 minutes in before work. I don't like having to get up so early, but its necessary in order to get the workout in.
