A New Fitbit Problem - Incorrect Calories Eaten
I'm fine with the negative/positive exercise adjustments, but Fitbit.com has started something that I just can't understand. :grumble: Yesterday Fitbit.com says I ate 2737 calories and I only hate (and logged on MFP) 1889 calories. This is the second time this has happened in the past 5 days, with the other 3 days being…

Wendler 5 3 1 or Starting Strength
I've been doing Crossfit 3-4x/week for a year. A typical workout includes a warm-up (misleading name :sick: ), some Olympic lifting work, and a 10-20 min WOD. I'm not seeing much in the way of strength gains doing this. My 1RMS are :sad: : 135 back squat, 205 deadlift, 105 push jerk (never tested military press) and I've…

Box Jumps - Does the Fear Every Go Away?
Box jumps scare the crap out of me. I can do them, have never missed, and only had one near miss, but when I get in a WOD my brain shuts down and says "You are not jumping on that." My coach told me to try stepping up every time I get stuck and that does help relax my brain a bit. Last night we had an interval WOD, 45 sec…

Crossfit Hands
I'm a real newbie to Crossfit (just 3 weeks) and relatively new to barbell work. The past few workouts have included barbell work and toes 2 bar (for me it's knees to waist). My body is adjusting with minor soreness, my hands ARE NOT! :sad: My hands are the only reason I had to take breaks during T2B today. I'm developing…

Newbie Question
Today I finished my on-ramp foundations and did Fight Gone Bad. I'm accustomed to working out hard (or I thought so) but this is the first time I had to lay down (on the nasty parking lot :noway: ) after a workout, drive home shaky, lay down again, took a shower, got ready, still shaky and red-faced. I couldn't stomach…

Brand Spanking New and Love (and Hate) CF!
Hey y'all. Greetings from TN. I just found group & started CF. By started, I have done 2 free introductory classes. I start Foundations next Monday. As a brief intro, I'm 52 yrs old & was obese from 20'ish to 40 when I lost 75#. Never set foot in a gym or played a sport until I was 45, so I'm starting a bit behind. I've…

Eat more, eat less, workout more, workout less?
Hey, I just found this group and am interested to get opinions. I feel like I've tried everything everyone has recommended with zero success. Please just don't take away my lattes:love: :love: I've even taken months worth of dairy to a nutritionist and a trainer and was told "You're doing everything right. I don't know why…

Anybody (specifically older bodies) doing Crossfit?
My workout routine is getting stale. I box 2x/wk, lift 2-3x/wk, and take a class that's a mashup of P90x/Insanity/HIIT with a sprinkle of Crossfit exercises 2x/wk. There's a new Crossfit box in my 'hood and I'm trying to muster the courage to give it a try. I have a couple of hurdles to get past first. First, I'm 52 and,…

Hey y'all, I'm tiptoeing into primal....I think.
I'm new to the group and wanted to say hello (southern style)!! I'm beginning to dabble in the primal lifestyle, but I have so much to learn. Honestly, I don't know the difference in paleo, primal, low carb, and clean eating yet. I'm still reading. I'm probably a mishmash of all four. I started because I got a deal on…

Lets talk STS
I'm brand new to Cathe workouts and am starting STS with the October group. I haven't received my DVDS yet, but did download and read the Users Guild. Experienced Cathe folks, I'd like your opinions on: 1. One Rep Max. I actually thought this was done by doing a literal 1 rep max test...duh.:embarassed: Now I see you…

Podcast That Supports the EM2WL Philosophy
I just heard an interesting podcast that went right along with EM2WL. The podcast is called Cut The Fat and it's done by a nutritional pharmacist and a trainer. http://cutthefatpodcast.com/1341/fat-loss-podcasts/episode-52-the-5-saboteurs-of-weight-loss I didn't note all of the information they gave, just stuff applied to…
