Orangetheory Fitness and Fitbit
For those of you that do OTF, do you wear your Fitbit during class? Do you add the calories burned from OTF? Does the MFP do the adjusting? I don’t want to double dip, but I don’t want to not record calories burned if the app adjusts.

Discouraged
I’m a little discouraged this morning. I decided it was time to get the pandemic weight gain back off. I’ve been logging food and staying on track and walking and drinking lots of water for the past month, and I’ve pretty much been gaining and losing the same pound all month. I’m 56 years old and I wonder if this is it. Is…

Back again - this time with Jenny Craig
Hello, everyone. I am back again. Same old same old. Up and down, up and down.:grumble: However, I joined Jenny Craig in early December and have lost almost 15 pounds. :drinker: So, working on getting it back down again. Still going to the gym but not as much as I was a year ago. A year ago I was going 5 days a week for a…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo Feb. 15, 2010
Good morning, ladies: I didn't see a new week started yet, so I hope I didn't miss it! It is a Monday morning holiday. Four boys in the house eating French toaster sticks and playing video games. Husband still asleep. The sun is out and the birds are singing. Could spring fever be far behind? I still haven't dropped my…

SBF2 Boogaloo week of Feb. 1, 2010
Good morning! Just got back from spin class. Was actually dripping with sweat and thinking about you all!:laugh: I am wondering if sweating produces more sweat? Am I actually sweating more when I don't wear a headband because the sweat is allowed to fall? Or, is the headband just absorbing the sweat, and it is actually the…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo Jan. 24, 2010
Good morning, SBF2s! It looks like your posting has changed since I was last logging in regularly? I hope it is ok that I started a thread today. My main goal for today is to stay within my calorie range. I also need to get my water intake back up to where it is supossed to be. I have let that slide. :huh: Back at the gym…

Stronger, Better, Faster Jan. 11
Good morning, all! My mood is brighter each passing hour. I've found a posting with a local university for a professor position in my field. In looking at the qualifications, I believe that I would be qualified for this position. There are also a couple of other positions that I will be following up on first thing next…

Good news, bad news
My weight dropped yesterday, but that is because I found out that I am no longer needed in the work position that I have occupied for 15 years. :cry: I have to say that that was quite a shock. We have a new boss (newly elected district attorney), but I thought I was going to be ok. I guessed wrong on that one. Fortunately…

Stonger, Better,Faster Jan. 7th
Good morning! On the way out the door to my spin class, but just had to report in that the scales finally moved in the right direction!! Woo Hoo!! :drinker: Since I did that cardio kick class last night, I "slept in" this morning, and I'm just going to do the spin class without the usual weights this morning. I am…

Follow up on fat burn "zone"
A month or two ago, someone said they were going to try and do the slower/lower intensity "fat burn zone" with her heart rate and see what happened. I've tried to find the post, but I can't locate it. I'm curious as to her results. If this was your topic, how did it go? Bobbie

Going to a Party!
My husband and I are going to a party tonight at a friend's house. I can't even remember the last time we went to a party! :bigsmile: The babysitter arrives in 15 minutes. I have exercised several different times today. I've watched what I've eaten. I haven't had dinner, but I did have an acai berry drink just a minute…

Calories burned
I just got back from the gym. I tried out my new Polar F55 HRM for the first time. The HRM was right on target with the th HRMs on the machines. However, the calorie burn was a lot more than what the machines showed. The stepper on the Polar had me at 354 cals for 15 minutes. I stretched for 6 minutes and it gave me 87…

% vs. mg for nutrition values
When I am entering nutrition information for Vitamins A&C and Iron and Calcium, some of the information is listed as mg and some is listed as % based on 2000 calories per day. If the item I have lists mg, and the place where I'm listing has %, do I need to make a conversion, and if so, how do I convert it? I'm obviously…

Not eating popcorn!
I'm sitting here during intermission of a Christmas performance not eating my children's leftover popcorn. Yeah me!! Instead, I'm reading MFP entries and posting on my Blackberry. I can put those calories to much better use later today!! Bobbie

I walked away!
I just walked away from the front counter in our office without indulging in a bowl full of egg nog with ice cream and a platter full of Christmas cookies! Can I get a big Woo Hoo?:drinker: :bigsmile: Bobbie

Polar F11 vs. Polar F55 HRMs
I'm thinking about asking for a HRM for Christmas. I've heard of the Polar HMRs, so have looked them up on line. Do any of you have thoughts on the Polar F11 vs. the Polar F55? The Polar F55 has everything the Polar F11 has, but it also has a strength training monitoring feature. It costs a little more, so I'm wondering if…

Afternoon Slump
I wasn't sure which category to put this in, but what do you find helps you with an afternoon slump in energy? I get up around 4:00 in the morning to go to the gym, so by around 4:00 in the afternoon, I'm starting to really lose my energy. I still have an hour to go at work, so I can't take a nap. I usually have a little…

New user name
I've changed my user name from Bobbie3223 to Bobbie145. The 145 is my goal weight. I decided I liked that better than the 3223 which doesn't really mean anything. Bobbie

SBF Dec. 2
Good Morning! I've been feeling like I'm coming down with a cold for a couple of days. I got my exercise in yesterday, but today I passed on my spin class this morning and just did my 15 minute warmup on the treadmill and half an hour of weights. I do repition with light weights, so no heavy lifting. So my goals for today…

Loose skin
I have good muscle tone, but I have loose skin on my arms, stomach, and inner thighs. What will work, besides surgery, to tighten up loose skin? I do cardio and weight training 5-6 times a week. Thanks!
