I started 30DS today too! It was rough, but nothing I couldn't push myself through. :D Oh, I also started C25K today... It wasn't really that awful doing both this morning either.

I've been curious about this as well so bump!

I don't count the warm-up and cool-down and log it as 20 minutes for the sake of simplicity... I probably should include those though, heh.

Same here, I got started a little late into my 29th year on deciding to get fit so I might not be at my goal by my birthday (this month, heh) but I'll get there. :D

Welcome to MFP, Abby! You've come to a great community, I've only been here a short time myself, but I've found a plethora of resources to get me going, and great people to help keep me motivated on my fitness journey! Just remember to take it one step at a time (literally even!), fitness is more akin to an epic quest than…

I hope it's not too late to join, I just started C25K today and it was awesome! Sure I was sweaty and almost completely winded by the time it was over, but it was worth it! I got to about 2.5 miles in roughly 30min (Noom was being testy this morning with my playlist.) I can't wait for my next run day (Thursday)!! See you…

I use CardioTrainer or Noom (same app basically)... Just turn it on before my walk/run and let the GPS find me before I start moving.

I have that now bookmarked, thanks for sharing! I want one tonight, lol.

I have an older Health-O-Meter scale that I am able to input some general info about each user (and it can store 4 users). The info you program into it is: Gender, Height and Age. It uses electrical impedance to determine body fat %, bone mass, BMI, and hydration. Oh, and it'll give you your weight too! Sadly, this model…

I'm starting it tomorrow (7/5/11) so feel free to send me a friend request, just include a little note so I don't just reject it!

Starting 30DS tomorrow! Apprehensive and excited all at the same time... I previewed it yesterday (watched all 3 levels of workout) and it looks intense, but I keep hearing such good things about it. So to everyone whom is doing 30DS currently, and those starting in the near future: Good luck and congratulations! We can do…

Apparently they've moved to http://thisiswhyyourefat.tumblr.com/

Love it!

You have to manually add that in as a signature. Look for "Signature" up near "Home", "Recent Posts", "My Topics" and "Search" and click it.

WTG! And I'd have to agree with your brother on this. Careful how you drive! :D

I was wondering the same as the OP since I don't have an HRM and can't afford one at the moment. While I'm sure it's going to be burning crazy calories (I previewed all 3 levels of it today - had to make sure the 2nd hand disc still worked!) it'd be nice to have something (even a rough guess) in the log. Edit: I was still…

Welcome to MFP! I've found this site to be incredibly valuable to me in my own fitness journey - that only started recently! I'm not in the same age range (will be 30 this month), but I'm always looking for new friends. Just include a message if you send me a friend request. :D

This is a great article but I'm not going to throw my scale out just yet... Mine uses bio-electrical impedance to also figure out my bone mass and % of body fat... I was also able to enter my height and gender into it so it calculates my BMI for me too. But if I still had one of those spring-loaded things that only showed…

I actually just picked myself up a second-hand copy of this today and previewed it... Gotta find my weights before I can really do it though. If I find'em today, I'll sign up. :D Sign me up! Found the weight set!

I pretty much log everything right now and don't see why I would stop.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing!

I couldn't agree more! We as consumers need to stand up to these practices and stop buying misleading products. That's the only way companies seem to respond these days.

There's some good advise in here I may want to look at later. :D

Congratulations, Team 6! You've come out on top early on, but can you maintain? There's a few teams out there hot on your heels! Congratulations also to ashleypietz (Team 11 MVP)!

Win. :D

That's pretty impressive, and certainly puts it into perspective. I didn't have a problem with thinking I'll be tracking calories and what-not until the end of my days either, but seeing this makes it even less of a concern so thank you! This made me laugh, thanks for that too. :D

Like others on here, I'm easing into this whole fitness thing. I walk 45-minutes every day (the distance varies slightly, but I average between 3-4.5mph) with one of my dogs - the other is a puppy and can't do the extended walks, but she'll be able to soon enough. Also, I got myself into a daily challenge here on MFP that…

I have a digital scale that calculates not only weight, but also % body fat and BMI. It also tells me how much weight is bone mass, which is kind of nifty. It's a "Health O'Meter BFM681DQ-63" and it's been pretty accurate when I've compared it's results to those from Dr.'s visits.

Along with just about everyone else on here, I try to weigh myself when I wake up and right after that first bathroom trip; I also weigh myself throughout the week and use an average (since weight can fluctuate on a day-by-day basis) for my MFP check-ins.
