Running app you can set the time for segments
Is there an app that you can program to say walk for 5 mins, run for 5, walk for 2, run for 5 and that kind of thing? I'm thinking like the C25K, but that you can program the times yourself? Thanks

Calories at the golf driving range
So, for a 250 lb guy going to the driving range and hitting balls for an hour, does about 300 cals sound close? Going by http://golftips.golfweek.com/many-calories-burned-golf-range-1791.html shows a 190 lb person burning 259 per hour, 300 seem realistic. And if I turn on my watch (Garmin VivoActive HR), any idea if it…

Anyone tracking blood pressure?
Wondering if anyone tracks their blood pressure and what they use to log it? Bought a machine as I saw one in a flyer on sale for $50. Cuff is too small so I've ordered a bigger one ($10), but got decent numbers. I see reading online that it is recommended to check twice a day, but is there a decent way to track it in MFP?…

What rate can someone lose at.
Bear with me here. I'm a numbers and planning guy. But so far my plan has been blown out of the water in a good way. I've planned for 2 lbs per week since late Sept when I got a decent scale and could weigh myself, but have exceeded that. Oct I lost ~15lb, Nov ~ 14 lb and so far in Dec I'm down ~8 and hope to lose 10. That…

New scale trick (for me)
So I had a big bag of jerky that I knew I was going to snack on outside of the house (went snow shoeing) and wanted to know how much I ate. Opened it, put a big piece of masking tape on the side, weighed it and wrote that down on the tape. Ate some while out. Put it back on the scale, wrote that number on the tape and…

So. What's the worst weight loss myth?
My vote is starvation mode. But there are so many good myths out there that are a hinderance to healthy weight loss that it might be fun to put them all in one place, argue about them and decide which is the worst of all.

Non Spirtual meditation
One of the threads here got me thinking about meditation. I'm an atheist and have no wish for a spiritual or religious take on it, but am wondering if there is a good read or study on meditation that might appeal to me and let me know what it is about. Biggest thing for me would be stress reduction. From the thread, I got…

Sprained my toe, dammmiittt
Snow shoed yesterday. Tried to get on the treadmill this morning and could barely walk. I think I sprained a toe. Was going to start week 5 of the C25K. Now I'll be pushed back a bit while my toe heals. Not sure what else I can do in the meantime. Maybe pick up the weights more this week. Just venting.

Need a new tablet
Kinda an odd request and I wasn't sure where to put it, but I need a bit of advice on getting a new tablet. I have a 5-6 yr old Samsung Note 10.1 that won't take the latest android version. I want to replace it so I can use it on the treadmill with the 3 apps I'm using now. So, Polar Flow, C25K (Zenn Labs) and Rockmyrun. I…

C25k - How fast do people walk/run?
Curious as to what people do for the walk and run speeds in the C25K when starting? I know there isn't one right answer, but just wondering what people do start? I'm doing the warmup/cooldown at 2 mph, walk at 3 mph and run at 5 mph.

C25K - What do you do on off days?
I'm thinking of doing the C25K starting Jan 1. Using the treadmill plan. Currently I'm doing 25-35 minutes on the treadmill every morning, so what do you suggest I do on the off days of the C25K? Is it fine to walk (3 mph) on the off days? 2-3 days I'm also doing a beginners weight lifting but I do that after work. Plus I…

Question about changing custom recipes
This is certainly not a critical issue for me, but am curious. If I have a recipe for chili that I have made and logged in the past, and then I make a new batch so I change the recipe, does MFP go back and update old entries for a different calorie count? Added peppers and a bit more ground beef this time so the calories…

Can you pull monthly data out of MFP?
I'd like to compare my total calories, calories burned against my weight loss. Is there a way to get the info out of MFP and into Excel in the free version? Or do I have to upgrade to get it? Thanks.

Dumb scale question. Weight Watchers scale
I've got a dumb question about a scale I picked up. It's a weight Watchers scale from Bed Bath & Beyond. Model WW44Y. Is it possible that it has some logic to it where it won't show a different weight than the day before unless it is outside of a range? I step on the thing for 3 days in a row and get the exact same number,…

Is there a hot protein drink?
Was feeling cold the other night so I tried to nuke my protein shake (chocolate flavoured). Big mistake as I think it just cooked and I ended up with sludge, and it was barely warm at that point. Is there a hot drink that would replace my protein shake but not kill my calories like hot chocolate would? Thanks

Question about friends
Really hope this doesn't come across wrong, but what is the benefit to friends on MFP? I'm not much into social media like FB, Twitter or whatever the hell the kids are doing these days, but enjoy forum posting here and elsewhere. I've got friend requests which, up to now, I've been ignoring or declining. I guess I just…

MFP tracking. What if I don't feel like eating today?
I've had 2 days lately where I just wasn't that hungry and didn't feel like eating. A week apaty. First time it's happened when I've been tracking calories and, MFP won't let me close the day. First time was a week ago Saturday. Friday I ate a big dinner as it was my wife's birthday and we went out. I also knew I would…

What smart scale works?
I'm trying to decide on a smart scale, and all I see are issues connecting to this or that. I'm using a Garmin Vivosmart HR, Garmin Connect and MFP. I see the Garmin Index scale doesn't work, the Taylor SmartScale doesn't work and am wondering which scale actually works that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Also needs to…

Thread to track progress
If I wanted to make a thread to track my progress (1 month in), which forum is the most appropriate? Want some accountability and advice, but not a real social media guy so not interested in friends etc. Plan is to track for a year or so, as long as I don't give up. Thanks
