New Here
So I'm not quite 60 (turned 59 in March), but I recognize that aging necessitates altering my workout regimen a bit and welcome some advice on my journey. A bit about me: I began doing triathlons about 8 years ago. I am a lifelong swimmer and biker, and when I lost 30 lbs 10 years ago (using WW) started running as a way to…

elliptical vs running
I have a bit of an ouchy knee and since I have learned (the hard way) to listen to my body I think I need to lay off running for a while until the pain goes away. I could just focus on cycling (indoor and outdoor) but I was thinking about doing some time on the elliptical at the gym. I used to do elliptical trainers…

Spin class into Strava
I'm a recent convert to Strava and have started downloading my runs and rides into Strava. The question is how do I get my spin class into the app? I have an ANT+ heart rate strap and can use either a Garmin 310XT or Magellan Switch to capture the data (OK, old school). I'd rather not have to buy a a bluetooth strap, I…

Finding the sweet spot
I used to do 3-4 runs per week (12-17 miles/week average). Although I did notice a huge benefit to my overall fitness, I also found that I was uber stiff almost all the the time. Stretching helps, for sure, but when I would go out the front door to get the newspaper in the morning, boy I was reminded of the run the night…

TDEE calculators
How much credence do you guys put in the online TDEE calculators? When I run my numbers I consistently get ~2300/kcal/day. If I eat that much I will gain weight, I estimate my TDEE to be more in the 1700-1750/day range.

Anyone here 60 yo?
Actually I'm not yet 60 (turned 59 in March). I'm a recovering triathlete and am now rethinking my approach to exercise (working on diet too). I was wondering if there is a forum here for older athletes?

Do you slide on the weekend?
I notice that I tend to go over points much more often on the weekend (Sat specifically) than I do during the week. Wondering if others have similar behavior?

MFP question
I like the MFP exercise tracker but haven't found a way to turn off the tracker so exercise calories are not subtracted from the day's total. I've never been an eat your AP guy, does anyone know how to turn it off?

FAO: Prez challenge members
Since the closing of the website I've felt a bit lost. WW made tracking food intake part of my daily life, so too Prez Challenge made tracking activity a part too. I never used the WW activity tracker because I thought the calorie burn to be overstated, and more recently we had this discussion about the MFP activity…

A new challenge
I joined WW in Jan 2007, I did it with my DW and started at 250. I got as low as 207 but I have to say I hovered in the 215-220 range for several years and I was OK with that, I feel really good below 215. Those of you that know me know that I got into triathlon a number of years ago (1st race was in Sept of 2010), have…
