Burned calories with fitness tracker?
I'm trying to figure this out. My bmr according to mfp is 1974. I've recently started wearing a misfit shine tracker. Today it says I've burned 3000 calories. Does this include my bmr? To add 'exercise' calories into my diary do I subtract 3000 from the 1974? Thanks!!!!

REALLY restarting...for real this time...
My name is Allie, I am from Charlotte, NC. I moved here from Long Island in December, and cooking on a budget means a lot of pasta and refined carbs. Especially living with someone who doesn't eat meat. Or beans, or veggies. I'm cooking for a 28 year old "man-child". And eating like him. (I use man-child with love. He's a…

Not my first time...
So I used a combo of MFP, the 17 day diet, and C25K for a successful 4 moths and close to 40 lbs lost. Then summer came. And a new boyfriend. My summer job is demanding. But the fact of the matter is I got lazy...and my boyfriend and I had AWFUL eating habits. After stepping on the scale and gaining almost half og what I…

2 running NSV's
I'm doing the C25K program, and I love it. I did week 5, day 3 today, which is a 5 minute warms up walk, and 20 minute jog, and a cool down walk. I've never run 20 minutes straight, so to say I was intimidated is an understatement. But I told myself I would try it and just do my best. I went to the local high school track…

C25K distances?
Just curious as to how far people are getting doing the C25K program in the first few weeks. I started on a treadmill and the first week I was going about 1.75 miles. Then I started using the track instead since my ultimate goal is to run a road race 5K. I just finished week 3 today and I'm up to 2 miles even each workout.…

Which is more accurate?
The calories burned count on the machines at the gym, or here on MFP?? I've been finding that even after entering my weight and age into the gym machine, the calories are LOWER then MFP says. I know a HRM would be the best, but right now it's not in my spending budget to get one. The machines will account for how hard of…

But it has clicked...and tomorrow I start my first day of the C1D1 of the 17 day diet. I went shopping for it and cooked up ground turkey and chicken to…

Burst Training?
Hey everyone! Has anyone heard of burst training? Where you go 30-60 seconds of 90%-100% effort, then go easy for 60 seconds. Apparently it's more effective than spending up to an hour on the DREADmill...but I'm not sure if it actually works. I guess I'm confused as to hwo many reps you should do. Here is what I'm looking…
