Anyone out there "run" a 16 min. mile...LOL
My neighborhood is very hilly, and I have only been running...geriatric shuffling for about 7 weeks, and I just made 16:16 pace for my 2.4 mile run. I don't know how to log this in MFP, because I know the calories aren't right. The slowest pace they list is a 12 min. mile and I am a long way off from that. I leave the…

How am I doing on my reset?
Hey you EM2WL folks....I wanted to know if I am doing my reset properly...over 1/2 of the last 2 weeks I have eaten just at or a little above my BMR, while only a little less than 1/2 at TDEG which includes my calculations for minimal exercise calories (and I do not eat back my exercise calories as suggested by MFP). I…

Take a look at my diary...one year, slow progress...
If anyone on this forum has some insight, I would appreciate it. Lost inches and 11 pounds in 2012, reset my eating last June to up my calories per this group's wealth of info, using the excel spreadsheet to find TDEE/BMR and have been pretty consistent on my calories, and I just bought a food scale. I looked back at my…

Improving Workouts using Heart Rate Zones
I have only lost 11 pounds in Jan 2012, and have been jogging 3-4 times a week, very slow pace. Monitoring my Heart rate the last few weeks I have been dismayed to discover MOST of the time I have been in the steady state zone which I have read isn't effective for anything (see my breakdown using the Calculating TDEE excel…

I am a new runner....should I do 10K....advice please!
I just did my first 5k in September, pretty slow....43:20. I have been running 3 times a week, steadily increasing distance. There are a lot of hills in my neighborhood, and I haven't been concentrating on time as much as running steadily for 55 minutes or more for the past 2 weeks. The 10k is in Feb. 2013. I am really…

Good morning friends! If any of you could help me, I am stalled at 4 #, I have been consistent since Jan 2012, upped my calories in June because I realized I wasn't netting enough.

All you winners....a little help please....
I checked my net Calories for the last 16 days, and 11 days were 1,200 and less, only 7 days were about 1,400 calories. Am I killing my metabolism, and is this why I have gained my weight back in spite of jogging every other day? I am adding strength training on opposite days, and I have calculated 1600 as a good point to…

Which is better for weight loss?
Should I exercise 4-5 times a week for 40 minutes, or exercise fewer days for longer intervals? I have been a member for 6 months now, lost a total of about 5 inches but only 4 pounds. I am still tweaking my diet, and trying to eat more calories, and it is a challenge to eat enough...still too many carbs. I started jogging…
