What is your running stride? I know how to calculate it, but am programming my new pedometer here at work and want to test it out after work (without going home first)...so I'm not able to accurately measure right now. Looking for an average for a woman who is 5 ft 6 in to input for now to test it out! So women, whats your…

What If....
What if you didn't weigh yourself each week? What if you kept tracking food and being active, but instead determined your success on things like how your clothes fit, fitness accomplishments, getting fruits/veggies/water in, etc? If you weighed twice as much as you do now but you looked good and felt good would it matter…

Inspiring books on nutrition?
Can anyone recommend a good book about diet and nutrition? Looking for something that will educate and inspire me to not just eat less, but eat the right things. I currently eat quite a bit of fruits and veggies, but know I need to do a better job at watching sodium, carbs, making sure I get enough protein, etc. If I can…

Jogging/Running - will it get easier?
Yesterday I went for my first jog ever. I can’t say run, because I went pretty slow but I did a mile in 12.5 minutes. I never, EVER ran/jogged for a mile straight so I was pretty proud of myself. I’ve tried the Couch to 5K program before and never stuck with it. I think it’s because of the intervals. It stressed me out to…

How long does it really take?
How long does it really take to gain or lose a lb of fat? I know that 3500 cal equals one pound, but how long does it take to 'build' that pound or burn it? For example, lets say I consumed 3500 cal over my goal for the day (and no, I didn't do that!)... it doesn't mean that I will have an extra lb of fat the next day…

Breastfeeding and Weight Loss Experiences
I'd love to hear from other moms who are either currently breastfeeding or recently stopped and their experience with weight loss. I have a 2.5 m old that I'm nursing so I add 500 cals to my diary each day (by adding 'breastfeeding mother' to my snacks). So far I've lost 10lbs in one month and am thrilled, but wondering if…

Does your HRM calculate calories burned for you?
Hey - does your heart rate monitor calculate calories burned for you? If so, what kind do you have? Or does it just calculate your HR and you figure out calories burned from that? I got a HRM for Christmas and it doesn't look like it tells me calories burned, but from some other posts I'm reading it sounds like it might be…

Routines for Wii Fit Plus
Hi! I have Wii Fit Plus and know there are some already made routines, but I'm looking for one that I can create as my own that is longer and concentrates on arms and tummy/waist. Maybe with some cardio thrown in. Anyone want to share their customized Wii Plus Routine? Or create one for me? :) If you can create two (not…

Translating HR to Cals Burned
Hi - I got a new HR Monitor and am trying to figure out how to calculate calories burned by using it. It has a chest band so I can constantly monitor my HR or a 'touch' option if I just want to check it once and a while. How do you guys use your HR monitors? How do you then take the info to determine how many calories you…

MFP App for iPod Touch?
Does anyone use the MFP Application on the iPod touch? Can you tell me about it? What can you do on it? What can't you do? I am thinking about getting an iPod Touch (dont' want an iPhone) and if there is a good MFP applicaiton I can take with me "on the go" it'd help application me it's worth the upgrade from a nano.
