I'm on the fence about this .. did you find it worth while result wise when it came to lifts etc?

I created my own as well and wear a HRM which isn't an exact science but it's better than dumping it into the catch all of circuit training ..

I just registered this morning .. nervous!

I currently do Crossfit twice a week, will be moving to 3x in January. I wear a HRM during the entire class and log calorie burn that way since each class is different in effort etc. You can log it as circuit training, it's the closest thing that MFP offers outside of creating your own exercise, just keep in mind MFP tends…

Thanks all... and my 'mishap' is a non progressive form of muscular dystrophy .. I bought a pair of wrist wraps last night .. it was a challenge finding ones for my smaller wrists .. we'll see how it goes!

I used to do both on the same day, I'd run in the morning and then lift in the afternoon, depending on mileage you could do both in the same session but your lifting weight may suffer depending on your running pace ..

I created my own exercise called CrossFit and wear a HRM and start it at warm up, pause it at the end of the WOD, different days will generate different readings. Maybe consider finding your TDEE and not worry about it? *Note* I log my exercise but rarely eat those calories back as I'm experimenting with TDEE

^^^THIS^^^ When I was larger, these kept everything in place

Hey there! I actually started out only running and recently have started lifting and running in the last 6 months. I have found that I can actually decrease my mileage and still be able to meet time goals with longer distances. Feel free to add!

Hey there! I've been in maintenance since Jan, been lifting heavy 2x a week for the last 6 months. I currently eat at TDEE but I don't log consistently as I need the mental break here and there. Feel free to add me!

Haha I lost mine by surgery back in 2008. I was 'blessed' by family genetics and was wearing a 38 F/G (Mind you it didn't fit my back at all, so was probably bigger than that cup wise), I was lucky enough to have a good doctor refer me to a few plastic surgeons to see if it would be deemed medically necessary. Mind you at…

Currently I'm trying the TDEE method and eat the same ratio of carbs, protein and fat everyday. I haven't found an issue with that yet personally. I lift (crossfit) twice a week and lift on my own once a week at least In for other insights.

I get up around 4:15 / 4:30 am to be at the gym by 5/5:30 am ... it's not the best thing in the world but I've found that for me it works better than trying to go after work especially on those mentally exhausting days .. Try it out for a month, it takes about two weeks or so for your body and sleep schedule to adjust but…

Awh man I know these days all to well. I found that Aleve Cold and Sinus + D works wonders for me, along with a cold compress. As far as the lack of hunger, I totally hear you. While it's hard to eat, I've found that I can get down more 'bland' foods as they don't cause a lot of issue. I would suggest something along the…

Ditto. Have one and LOVE it. I use it for most everything exercise based from running to obstacle course races. Never had any issues using it in water, I've had minimal issue with it not reading my HR correctly but that was because the strap wasn't tight enough or positioned correctly All in all I've found it to be a great…

This can vary from location to location but in a nutshell it’s designed to introduce you to the CrossFit methodology, the core CrossFit movements, and the intensity of the workouts. Here's a good example of a 12 week on-ramp schedule.. http://crossfitsouthboise.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/CrossFitOnRamp.pdf Overall I…

I agree with the walk/run method, do what feels right for your body and enjoy the course, there's always another HM ..

What is your overall goal? I see no issue with building a little bit of muscle definition.

Only advice is to try various versions of yoga to find one that works for you. I started with Bikram yoga but find Heated Vinayasa (flow) Yoga more of a challenge as depending on the studio the poses / method will vary. Bikram is hard at first with adjusting to the heat so I suggest being by a door or window at first if…

Is your fitbit set to synch throughout the day or do you only synch a few times via PC? Initially before I got an android phone I was only able to synch when I woke up and before I went to bed, but wasn't using neg adjustments either (this was prior to that feature) Also do you have neg adjustments enabled? Are you…

Have you tried keeping measurements vs scale weight? I found that my weight doesn't change much but my measurements tell a different story about gains, etc.

I have a polar FT4 and will pause it during a workout and have a few times accidentally stopped it.. LOL You pause it by pressing the LEFT button on the watch once, it will show time elapsed and current HR, it should then show continue on your display. Press the RIGHT button to continue tracking .. if you press the Left…

A few things: It doesn't sound like you have a baseline, like most have said try logging honestly for about two-three weeks just to get an idea of what you are eating .. also are you weighing your food with a scale? cups, etc? I found that helps a lot when understand what a portion size looks like vs a serving size. Some…

Yep to everything posted. By a rule though I wasn't eating back calories or a very minimal amount as I read the burns were calculated to high, that or i'd look up the Met Calculator and log that way. Now that I'm at my goal weight, it takes either more time or a stronger effort to burn cals, either way I don't worry about…

Most facilities have a partnership with various apps. My box currently uses Wodify, it allows you to track your progress with lifts, record amraps, metcons, emoms, etc. There's also a field where you can enter notes about the workout (ie. any modifications to the workout) There's also another one called…

First of all , it's not THAT bad. There are parts that you will dislike more than others but overall I've found it to be a great experience. I just finished my 2nd one 2 weeks ago up in Maine, keep in mind every course is laid out a little different but the Arctic enema was placed towards the end of the course before you…

I've known quite a few people that have gone into 'maintenance' while on vacation or on business. I did it myself off and on, you have to enjoy life every once in awhile, just keep in mind to allow for water weight etc if you come back a few heavier than you left .. Once you come back from vacation, set it back to your…

^^^ What she said : )

Congrats! I'm 8 months into maintenance and have maintained a +/- 5 pound range.. Feel free to add!

This depends on the food, but as most has stated generally the food database will state raw, cooked, boiled, etc. If I'm recipe building generally everything is raw, but there are things like chicken thighs that I remove meat from the bone AFTER cooking and will weigh then ..
