A few questions about Creatine
OK, I've done a bit of research and decided to add creatine to my supplementation. I currently only take C4 as a pre-workout, and drink a protein shake afterwards. I do a mix of strength training (weights and bodyweight) and cardio (Insanity and mountain biking). I am pretty fit right now, and I'm at my weight goal (lost…

Yoga guidance needed
OK, yogis. I mixed it up yesterday and did a workout that made me realize just how inflexible I am right now, so I'm planning on incorporating a bit of yoga into my routine. I've done yoga in the past, but not with any direction. So here's my question: Is it more beneficial to focus on muscle groups I just used (for…

What's your "extra gear?"
I call it "the fat suit." It's a shirt with pockets all over it that hold gel packets. When all the packets are inserted, the shirt weighs 8 pounds. The weight is very well distributed, so the shirt is relatively comfortable. Until you use it in your workout. Today I came off of a restful night and a perfect breakfast.…

Garmin calorie adjustment
Any other Garmin users not getting the correct calorie adjustment? My steps are moving over, but the calorie adjustment hasn't budged (stuck at -10) since yesterday morning. As usual, Garmin is no help, and their connect status page says everything with MFP is working great.

Week 4: Are there any other survivors out there?
Well, here we are. This group never seemed to get off the ground, with a very small percentage posting at all after Day 1. Now that it's almost over, it's time to post, let us know what you're doing, and how it's going. It has been great meeting new people, and I hope everyone continues working hard after this challenge…

Recomposition nutrition advice
Hello all, I can only imagine how many different answers I'll get on this topic! I'm 45 years old and I would consider myself pretty fit. I do a consistent combination of HIIT, strength training, and mountain biking to stay in shape. I joined MFP almost 2 months ago and I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight. Now that…

Day 5: Crickets Chirping
Not much activity in this group! Hopefully things will pick up with the weekend on the way. Nothing fancy for me today. Insanity Max 30 Tabata Strength, 360 Abs, and some pushups at the end: Macros in line so far. Weight up a bit from yesterday but the trend is going in the right direction. Have a great day everyone!

Day 7:Sunday. We all rest today, right?
Or not! I have a family thing today and will enjoy my first cheat meal in 3 weeks! Pizza and beer:) I tried to balance it out with Insanity Max 30 Sweat Intervals, 10 minute Ab Attack, and a pushup finisher. Have a great day!

What's your exercise backup plan?
You're a runner but it just snowed. Your DVD player is broken so you can't do P90x. The pool is closed because someone left a Baby Ruth in it (if you haven't seen Caddyshack, rent it today). The gym is closed today. You busted your bike frame. What's your backup plan? How do you get creative in a pinch to make sure you get…

Is it too early to talk nutrition?
I don't know if I'm supposed to start threads. If not, sorry Hoss, feel free to remove. I'm new to MFP, and it's been a great experience for me. Thanks to all who give me a lift when I need it. One thing I've noticed is quite a few people pay close attention to calories in/out, and no attention to what makes up the…

Android watch fitness experiences out there?
Hi all, I currently own a Fitbit Blaze. I very quickly realized the HR monitoring for my types of exercise (HIIT, weight training) is less than stellar from wrist based devices. I now use a chest strap HRM paired with Digifit for exercise. This information feeds to Fitbit, which takes this data, makes some adjustments…

Fitbit and MFP integration: please explain the calorie adjustment in plain English!
Hi all, I've been an on/off again user of MFP for awhile now. I'm trying to get more serious and consistent as I get older. I recently bought a Fitbit and synced the Fitbit app with MFP. I'm very confused about the Fitbit and MFP relationship when accounting for calories. When I first synced I read on the Fitbit website to…

Change your current weight in MFP as you lose it?
Hi everyone! If your weight changes do you update your information in the goals section? I lost a couple of pounds and if I change my current weight there it will change my caloric needs, correct? So my real question is how often should current weight be updated in the goals section? Thank you!

How do challenges work?
Hi all, how do challenges work in the app? When I click on the challenges option it says "no challenges available." Where do the challenges come from? Thank you!
