Polar FT4 vs MFP ?
So I just ordered a new Polar FT4 which arrived today. So, I went ahead and did the c25k with it on to compare to the calorie burn that MFP gives me (working on overall milage). Usually I put in around 210 calories for doing the c25k, going off MFP. However the Polar ft4 gave me a calorie burn of 450, which is more than…

intervals question
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, I'm still a bit clueless about running lol. I know that intervals burn more calories but since there are no intervals options to log on MFP I have to go by average pace which got me wondering... If my intervals give me an average pace of 6mph when the running/walking speeds are…

Kinetica whey protein?
I hope this is the right forum to be posting in :) I just wondered if any of you had any thoughts on kinetica whey protein? A friend is recommending it to me and if others agree that it's good then I'm going to order some to try :)

Does weight lifting really allow you to eat more cals?
I've read several other people say this but I don't know how much truth there is to it? Going by the In Place of a Road Map thread, my TDEE at sedentary (I sit all day, my day is not very active at all! And I log my exercise separately)is 1565 calories which with a 20% deficit allows me 1252 calories a day for weight loss,…

Newbie here..
I'm just about to start stage 1. My question is, as I have 20lbs still to go until goal weight- do I start the program now, whilst on a deficit, for any tiny benefit I might get? do I stop the deficit, even though I still have a whole 20lbs to go, and raise my cals? I know it's bad to rely on the scale but at this stage I…

Healthy, packaged snacks?
I'm trying to collect myself a little variety of healthy snacks so that when I'm tempted to get a bar of chocolate out of the cupboard, I can get something healthy instead :) since a lot of the time I end up eating chocolate/crisps because they're just what's there. Quick and easy to just grab and eat! So what sorts of…

How to log these things...
Hi everyone! So I have a workout DVD that has a half-hour core strength training section. Any idea what I would log that under? Also, next week I'm going to be helping my friend decorate a new house. Lots and lots of painting which I know from experience is a good workout when you spend all day doing it! So is there any…

Just completed week 1...
...and I'm super impressed at how quickly bodies can adjust! On day 1 I was super out of breath and power-walked the last 2 jogs rather than jogging. Now just completed day 3, did the jogging sections at a slightly faster pace, completed them all and wasn't out of breath! I'm so excited to start week 2 now :D When I did…

Wow!
I just completed W1D1 and it's harder than I thought. I mean, I go on the treadmill 3-6 times a week anyway, but I usually just do power-walking on it. I did it at a lower speed than I usually do and it was only small jogs, but it was such a workout! Disappointed at my lack of fitness, but super excited to be a part of a…
