I've never used the Peloton Bike (though it looks amazing), but the problem with all calorie-burn estimators is that, well, they're estimators. I would use the Peloton's estimate as a way to gauge how intense your workout is. For instance, today it said 245 calories. In future workouts, keep shooting for that number until…

I'm 51, and my "predicted" max heart rate (220 minus my age) is 169, which seems about right to me. The highest HR I've ever observed in a workout is about 165. If you're 55 and your max HR is about 194, you're obviously in much better shape than me, or you've been an endurance athlete for much of your life! Whatever the…

This morning (because I couldn't get to the gym to do my normal cardio workout), I tried this "HIIT" workout at home. https://www.nbcnews.com/better/lifestyle/15-minute-full-body-hiit-workout-no-equipment-required-ncna977711 Is it really "HIIT"? To be honest, the workout really got my heart rate up, which surprised me a…

I'm 50 and have hypothyroidism, which is well controlled on medication. Being 50 and working out is tough whether you have a low-functioning thyroid or not. Being tired is normal! I'm not a runner, but I did run cross-country and track in high school. Based on that experience, I'd say if you can run 7 miles, you're doing…

I listen to techno. Luigi Tozzi, SNTS, and Nigh/T\mare are in heavy rotation right now.

Amazong! :D

You'll get there! B)

Yep, been there. The app is buggy, in my opinion.

Gosh, I hope not! Haha! :#

Wow, that's impressive! Congrats!

But certainly, it's an indicator.

Just so I'm clear, it's not worth it? ;)

Rules of Engagement 'Til Death Outsourced Breaking Bad And here's a couple of older shows: Good Morning, Miami and Stark Raving Mad.

I think your haircut is evidence enough, but I agree with you: geeky is in the eye of the beholder. I'm a synthesizer geek and there are whole online communities of us out there. It has nothing to do with traditional "geek" culture, but it's still pretty geeky.

Were you reading Karl Marx this morning or something? Sheesh!

I'm not a huge fan of catch phrases. Let's just all do this: be the best YOU you can be. Okay? Great. :laugh:

Is it bad? Heck no, it's delicious! :smile:

This must be before she chopped off her hair. She looks like Mr. Bean now:

Oh, we've been trolled again, MFP. There is no way that a rational-thinking, adult human being could possibly be so worked up about a Starbucks drink that they decided to make their very first post on MFP all about that blasted drink. No, I'm not buying it.

Honey, we're Americans. We don't know **** about the Daily Mail. :laugh:

Girl, Interrupted?

Léon: The Professional?

Oh, we like the fact that women have different hardware. It's just that the software is way too complicated! :laugh:

Long. This whole "pixie cut" craze is an abomination! Exhibit A:

In other words, it's perfectly ****ing harmless. These "clean eating" freaks need to get over themselves! :laugh:

I love the McRib, and I don't care who knows it! :laugh: In fact, I've always subscribed to the following, which I believe I got from Beavis and Butt-head: "If it's bad for you, why do they call it 'food'"? [Yes, I take nutritional advice from cartoon characters. Got a problem with that? :grumble: :laugh: ]

2000 Light Years from Home

I didn't think anybody would catch that! :laugh:

She cares what I think about her hair color, so why not? Other people have commented on her makeup...sooooooooo. Anyhoo, this is this person's first and only post, and she hasn't responded to any of the other posts here. If this is a genuine attempt at obtaining beauty tips, I'll be shocked beyond belief. So lighten up.

Sure, but please take that thing out of your nose. Not attractive, IMHO.
