Apple Watch Fitness Updates Coming with WatchOS 5 this fall.
For all my fellow Apple Watch users, some of these updates seem promising! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/your-apple-watch-fitness-workout-is-about-to-get-way-better/ar-AAytpJ1 I'm interested to see the improvements to the Yoga tracking. I'm almost certain it over calculates my expended calories in Yoga class,…

Found one of my “triggers” - road trips
Husband and I are doing some traveling this weekend. It’s the first big road trip since I started tracking calories. I fully expected to eat at maintenance or maybe a small deficit, as we were going to be going out to eat with family on our stops and such. So that I was mentally prepared for. What I didn’t realize is how…

Cross Training shoes
We get lots of questions about running shoes and I was fitted a while back for a great pair of Brooks. However I found that no matter what I do, I just don't enjoy running. It just isn't my thing. Maybe as I lose more weight I'll try again. I need new shoes though. I could probably get another pair of Brooks very much like…

Scale isn't really moving, but....
The stupid scale is still bouncing around between 204-206 for almost two weeks now. My weight loss is far from linear and that kind of hovering has happened previously, but this is longer than usual. A little frustrating, as I really should be right at 200 now with my deficit. Granted I've increased my exercise routine a…

Recipe builder Marinades
I've got a recipe I'm making tonight that involves marinating the chicken in yogurt and spices prior to cooking it. Anyone know a good way to log this? I know the chicken is going soak up some of the marinade, but not a ton.

Help estimating calories.
So, we have an ice cream truck that frequents our downtown area. They have amazing ice cream sandwiches and do a special each day. I plan on having one of their “Salty Dogs” tonight. The picture shows a full order, but I plan on having a half. Contents 1/2 snickerdoodle cookie (cookies are about 4 inch diameter) Salted…

Apple Watch Move Goal
Those with Apple Watches - just curious what's your daily move goal currently? How long did it take to build up to that? Do you meet it regularly? How much of that for you is intentional exercise? For me, I started with a goal of 400 active calories back in April. Since I started regularly exercising later that month, it…

Moving to 3 days a week
I’ve been doing my strength training workout 2 times a week for two months now. First with my trainer, and now on my own. I do cardio the other days. But this week, I felt it was time to bump myself to three times a week with the weights. My body is ready, I can feel it. And mentally, I’m mostly ready. I find myself almost…

Two month changes
I've been on the journey for about 2 1/2 months now. I'm down 14lbs and apparently nearly all of that has been upper body. LOL. the pics on the left were at the beginning of May, a little over a week after I started. The right is from today. My best friend commented that I lost a whole back fat roll on one side and most on…

Strength Training Tracking App
For financial reasons, I have to take a break from sessions with my trainer. He set me up with a program to do in the meantime, but I'd like to see if I can find an app to help me track these. I've found a couple, but they aren't intuitive to use at all. Basically, I have several dumbbell lifting exercises (squats, lunges,…

Opinion for those who "workout" more than once a day
So for about a month and a half, my active exercise time has been spent like this. Monday and Tuesday at lunch 40 minutes cardio (rowing, elliptical, stationary bike) Wednesday hour session with trainer - (free weights and cardio combo session like baby crossfit) Thursday and Friday are pretty much the same as Monday and…

Female Weight Loss Fluctuations
I think I’m seeing a trend with my downward weight loss and curious of others have something similar happen. I have fluctuations of 3-4 lbs all month(assuming due to water changes and bowel movements that aren’t super regular), but still show a tiny downward slide, then a big jump for a day or two after my period ends,…
