Accuracy of Nike + GPS calories burned
I don't have a hrm, I don't want one (yet) I tend toget OCD about things and don't want something else to obsess about :) same reason I don't have a food scale. I'm losing, if I stop I'll reconsider. Anyways! I always use my Nike + GPS app on my iPhone for runs, I love seeing how far, fast and calories burnt! I'm just…

C25K graduates
At the end are you actually running 5 kms? I know it'll vary from person to person because of speed. So I'm curious. Also did it include the walk up and cool downs? Are did you actually RUN 5 KM?

Do you carry protection when running?
Another thread got me thinking. Do you carry anything when you go running to protect yourself? I actually just ordered 2 small (4"x1") dog sprays, basically pepper spray. We live in a small town so I'm not worried about a man attacking. However we have cougars here and I'm terrified of them.

How do you eat your Greek yogurt?
I love the Liberte brand coconut Greek yogurt but at 280 calories for 3/4 cup. I don't have it anymore. I tried plain 120 calories per 3/4 cup, but I just couldn't do it. I've been eating honey Greek (140 cal per 3/4c) with granola on top. Love it! So what's your fave ?

Sore elbows?!
My right elbow, well the inside bend, has been sore for awhile now. I thought it was from throwing the ball for my dog with a ball launcher. However after weeks of not using it, it is still sore. Not as bad but still there. Now today both are sore! Yesterday I did about 20 minutes of arm exercises so alot of bending my…

Running and 30 day shred?
I am loving running so I'm not giving it up :) I was thinking of starting 30DS again but I remember how awfully sore I was for the first week. Does anyone do them together? Did it make running harder?

Question about FAT
I know my butt is smaller, it looks and measures smaller and I've lost weight so how can it not be?! HOWEVER it is sifter, feels like more fattish then muscle LOL When I run I swear I can feel it jiggle more. The only thing *I* can think of is, that maybe my fat is breaking down? I have no idea. Am I crazy?

How much over BMR?
My BMR is 1641 and my calorie goal is 2150, today I ran and burned almost 500 calories. Right now I'm at 2211 food, net 1700. Is that ok on a regular basis? Or should I not go above BMR net?

I'm feeling so frustrated
I started this journey the last week of January. I dropped 10 lbs the first month, I had gained them in the few weeks before that, water weight? Not sure. I've only lost 10 lbs since then. I know it's still a lose but this isn't normal for me. A couple years ago, I got good at this journey and lost 30 lbs in 2 months, a…

Men who have lost a large amount.... Suggestions needed
Hello, my husband is a large guy with alot to lose. He's currently 383lbs. He's 5'11". He built big, broad shoulders etc, he doesn't want to be "skinny". He's ready to start, he used to love weights, we don't have much and no gym. Would working out with smallish weights help? Walking? What should he do? He also has a very…

No strength training motivation, hate it.
When I started my weightloss journey I was doing Jillian michaels meltdown yoga, loved it. I switched to shred, enjoyed it. I started running and just completed C25K. I love running, completely addicted. I was alternating running and a DVD workout. Then I figured I'd better do strength training from everything I've read on…

Help with weights PLEASE
I'm not having much luck with the scale, I've upped my calories but just a few days ago. I'm on week 8 tomorrow of C25K and I LOVE running. I don't want to give that cardio up. Everyone on MFP seems to love strength/weight training. I'm going to give it a try. These are the items I found at my house ( teenage boys) 2 3lb…

New to group, week 7
Hello, I'm Trisha, stay home mom to 5. I'm 32, 5'5" and 190 lbs. My goal is somewhere around 135. I've done the C25k twice before, one I didn't complete. 2nd I did but I never got to were I could actually just run, still had to run/walk. I better say that I could barely run the 1 minute in the beginning. I did w6d3…

Rushfit and c25k?
Right now I'm running every second day and doing JM 30 day shred 5-6 days and yoga class on Monday's. How can I fit in rushfit? I'm thinking dropping shred, adding RF on non run days, would it be bad to do them on the same day ever?

Rushfit strength & endurance! How to track?
I don't know much about fitness so I don't know how to track it! BTW it was awesome! It felt like a better work out the JM 30 day shred! Also it was a 10 minute warm up, which was hard work, 25 min work out and then 6 min cool down. Cool down was just stretches. How many minutes do I track?

Increased calories, weight staying exactly the same
Ok so I increased my calories. The scale hasn't moved. Odd thing is is that my weight usually really fluctuates day to day. For 3 days it hadn't moved. Is this normal?
-
Should I burn more calories or not?
Ok so my goal is 2150 calories, my BMR is 1635. So I can burn 515, I ran today and burned 433, I was going to do shred too, but I'll go under my BMR. So what's better? Also I'm out of town tomorrow so no exercise.

So lost with what strength training is
I'm running 3 times a week. I've been doing 30 day shred almost everyday. When should I add in strength training so I'll also look toned at the end? I don't go to gym, what would I need (at minimal cost) to do it at home? Do any work outs count? Melt down yoga? I keep seeing it mentioned, but besides going to a gym and…

Confused with weight
Ok I know many will say to stop weighing everyday, however I love it. It keeps me motivated. If I'm up I work and eat better that day, if I'm down I want to stay down. I feel that if I didn't weigh daily I wouldn't know for sure how I'm doing. I don't let it discourage me. Today has me confused though. I got up and peed…

iPhone 4 armband recommendations
I run with my headphones under my jacket and my iPhone in my jacket pocket. It's annoying. I'd like an armband that is as light as possible, protects from rain, live in BC similar weather to Seattle. With a window to see my phone. I'd like tried and true suggests. I didn't get one before cause I just imagine it slipping…

RUNNERS!! Clothing....
What do you wear when running? What's your favourites? Tried but hated. I wear saucony shoes, I alternate between socks, adidas running socks are my fave. I wear sugoi running capri's, they're ok. A Lululemon tank I love! I go back and forth between a Lululemon tight Luon jacket and a north face shell. I have a bandana I…
