Clicking the "done" button. Is it making it to your account and then not transferring over, or is it not even making it to your account? If it isn't making it from the app to the account, then go to the history page and hit refresh and sees if that does it. If it is making it up to the Runtastic account but then not…

I thought all that too, and just IME, I really, really wish I had started lifting weights earlier. ETA: You won't bulk up either, it is extraordinarily difficult for women to do.

Are you using the browser or an app? I am not having any issues using the app as long as I complete all the steps to uploading the session. ETA: I am talking about Runtastic as I don't use the other one.

If it is loose skin, there may not be much except for time to help you out there. If it is excess fat, then while you may not need to loose "weight", you probably do still have some fat you want/need to lose. And the simple fact of the matter is you can't spot reduce or target fat with specific excercises. So you may need…

Is there a reason you are doing splits? I think general consensus seems to be that full body compound lift programs are pretty effective. For me, I can't do squats more than about once per week, but I do legs (and everything else) three times per week. Currently Monday is Deadlift day, Wednesday is Romanian Deadlift day…

Don't cut back on frequency but I'll agree with others who say do a bit less or less weight to help yourself develop the habit. For me, I stay pretty sore for the first couple of weeks, and then the soreness goes away until I do something new. And every time I take a break from lifting I go back to being sore and have to…

I think perhaps you aren't heavy enough to try for significant weightloss while pregnant. You might check to see if there is a bariatric obstetrician in your area. I know there is emerging research on the subject of obesity and pregnancy, but I think only morbidly obese patients are being advised to lose while pregnant.…

My cholesterol improved significantly going lower carb (though currently I've been bad) my triglycerides went from an all time high of over 400 to wobbling around 100, and my HDL went from around 20 to 69. I'm glad you have found something that works for you.

Since they are only truly accurate for steady state cardio, I would say it depends on how much steady state cardio you do. If your exercise consists of things like weight lifting and HIIT they still aren't especially accurate. They also aren't accurate for daily wear. But if you are doing long sessions of steady state…

For me, I like to read on a treadmill because I can't afford a desk treadmill at home, and I read ALOT. But, Tif you are curious about a "real" reason why someone might be reading while on the treadmill, there is actually one that has nothing to do with boredom. People who for one reason or another have a damaged…

Try wearing an under-wire bra with a sports bra over it, then a tank with the built in bra over all that. Usually it will keep breasts fairly well supported during activities. That is what I did until I could afford good bras. Alternatively, I've also used wide ace bandages wrapped around for extra support, though that…

There is absolutely no reason not to do both cardio and lifting. And yes, it will typically give you the results you want fast, if by faster you mean more how you look than the numbers on the scale.

In general when people talk about "lifting heavy" they are talking about free weights, barbells and dumbbells. Start by reading New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women. I wouldn't necessarily follow their plan because it is overly complicated, but it gives you alot of good information. The look at Starting Strength or Strong…

Sounds like a deviated septum and/or polyps. I'll second or third seeing an ENT. If it is polyps in part, a sinus spray can sometimes help minimize them without surgery. I'll also heartily recommend neti pot. They are extremely effective for clearing out the sinuses. Here is a link for the appropriate methods, I'd suggest…

I agree with the poster who said your body isn't a 24 hour clock. I look at the week as a whole, for the most part, maybe I am not hungry the day I exercise but am ravenous the next day. I eat when hungry and over the course of the week try to hit my NET for that week fairly closely. And the problem with eating too low,…

Insert standard answer here ;) You CAN'T target fat loss. Your body is going to burn the fat on your body where it will based on genetics. True story.

How do you mix it?

I have to laugh at that, because you know what, they are actually good for anxiety and stress. You now what else they are good for, my particular brand of RLS. After I quit smoking it went off the charts bad. I did a few experiments and smoking a single cigarette stopped visible muscles twitches from my RLS for…

Tight everything so my loose skin doesn't rub and chafe.

He is trying to sell you absolute BS. Your muscles aren't "sleeping" unless you have a neurological condition that prevents you from actually using those muscles...like paralysis. And there is absolutely no way that a full body program is working the "wrong" muscles. I am an audiologist, so most of the time my job is alot…

The reason a couple of us have mentioned the road map, is because, purely based on its very simple formula MFP does a very strange thing, it will suggest you net UNDER your BMR. That is something that many feel is a bad thing. So really, do calculate your BMR and your TDEE and base your goals on that. Barring that, at a…

I am not anti chiropractor, they are just way more limited in what they can actually fix and what they will actually recognize medically than most like to claim. Go back to your doctor and ask for a referral to a nuero and get a COMPLETE work up. If they still can't find anything, that is when I would go to a chiropractor.

I can understand doing a juice fast to get your mind on eating healthier foods. So don't sweat it. Just get on a sensible plan now. Start here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/974888-in-place-of-a-road-map-2k13 And I can not emphasize enough, WEIGH your food, don't just guesstimate, and of course, eat ENOUGH food.…

I only lost maybe two inches from my bust unfortunately. But I didn't even actually lose a "cup" size, because my band size went down as well. The general trend seems to be if you want to lose them they won't, and if you don't want to lose them they will.

I started out around there and lost with absolutely no exercise. BUT you have to weigh EVERYTHING and be really accurate on how much you are consuming. But I was set to a half pound per week. Some weeks I lost more, some none, and some I went up because of water retention. But the trend over time was slow and sustainable…

While you can't spot reduce fat I've been working on building and perking up my butt with squats and deadlifts to minimize the appearance of lower back fat. Because there are two ways to make something look smaller, actually make it smaller, or make things around it bigger ;)

Nope, lost my weight eating almost 40% day. Nuts and nut butter are a huge staple for me. Honestly I think MFP sets protein and fat to low, and carbs too high, except for sugar which is set too low assuming you plan on eating fruits.

Pretty much this. I lost the majority of my weight on way more calories than 1200, and I'm not exactly tall and was extremely sedentary until only recently.

About an hour give or take.

If you are doing full body I wouldn't do it every day. As for rep range, 20 is more like cardio. There are lots of different specific programs out there. Check out strong lifts and starting strength. Personally, my go to rep range is 3x8. When I can do that, I increase the weight the next work out.
