Your weekly training schedule? Please share
I seem to be all over the place and often changing my program. At one time I was just walking, then I was doing Focus T25 or a C25K program. Now I am starting to realize I was turning into a 'cardio bunny' and revisiting to focus more focus on weights than cardio (starting Strong Curves at home, "weights" days). My cardio…

Weird Sync Issues with MFP to FitBit (exercise calories)?
Anyone else having weird syncing with their fitbit data to MFP for exercise? This has been happening for me on/off for around a week now. I'll sync my fitbit (to its own app) then open up MFP and sync (all on my iphone 6+). My exercise calories will be at say 300 at one point during the day, I'll do more activity and go to…

5'3" women and daily caloric intake (add yours)
Curious what others are aiming for. I am 42, 30 lbs to lose. My job is sedentary. I workout 6 days a week (mostly steady state cardio, but will be adding weight training and more HIIT). So far lost 16 lbs in 66 days. I keep changing my caloric goal so curious what is working for other shorter women. Set currently at 1300.

Floor space requirement?
Curious to know how much space is needed for this program. I'm still trying to decide where in my house I'll do this workout. I'm concerned in doing it in the living room because it's above my daughter's bedroom (thinking it will be too noisy with me jumping around - we just have laminate flooring). I could use an upstairs…

Restarting at week 4...
I did week 4, day 1 last week and got discouraged at how hard it was and stopped. Decided NOT to quit and going to restart at week 4 and keep at this week if need be for a bit. How are you all getting on? Did you need to ever redo a week? I'm trying not to feel guilty or shame myself about this and see my jogging as…

Fitbit Blaze - do you love it?
Hi, I currently have and love my fitbit Charge HR. I'm thinking of upgrading to get a Blaze. Those who have the Blaze, do you love it? Is it water resistant (can I wear it for a run if it's raining out). How's the battery life? And what is the band made of, much metal? I am a bit sensitive to metals. The HR gives me no…

Biking and FitBit
How do you use your fitbit for biking? I have the Blaze (brand new) and earlier this week the Charge HR which I found out was terrible for tracking biking. Was wondering - what if i put it on my ankle somehow? Would that not track revolutions of my peddling, like a step? Or are there other apps/gadgets to better record…

T25 and C25K?
Hi everyone, While I await delivery of my program, wondering if any of you have done this program with a beginner's running program. Do you think it would fit in well, or is this program in itself enough? Do you also do other activities or just follow its calendar to the 'T'? Thanks

Weird syncing issue between MFP and Fitbit (up and down)
Anyone else have weird things happening with syncing? Yesterday, my 'activity calories' in mfp was going up and down all day! I'd walked about 7000 steps so approx 100 calories were earned but it kept showing the 100 and then a bit later it would change back down to only 30 calories then back to 100. Nothing had changed at…

How to estimate at a catered lunch?
Morning all, I'm in a yoga and meditation workshop this weekend and each day we have a catered lunch. I have no idea yet what it is but it's from a very super healthy restaurant - will be all vegan/vegetarian fare. I don't want to look obsessive breaking out my phone and calculator at lunch. How do you reasonably estimate…

Recommended workout program?
I own Chalean Extreme which I'm going to start again but wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a more cardio based routine? I need something that is 'quiet' as my workout space is in an upstairs bedroom so I can't have anything too jumpy (or something I can modify for low impact). I do enjoy getting outside for…
