How bad did you do?
I went into Christmas not sad to indulge in the once a year treats. Did NOT get on the scale this morning and been back on track today. Just hoping it won’t take me a month to undo the progress I have made lol

Scale not moving
Hello: I am a very active triathlete. I am generally working out 8-12 hours a week as part of my training. Still struggling to lose weight. I have diligently measured every morsel of food the last month and have lost 0 pounds and inches. How is this possible? Been eating between 1500-1700 calories a day. I’m 5’1 and 119…

Weekly Average
Hi all! What do you guys normally do? Eat back all of your exercise calories on that day? Don't eat them back? Have a rest day and stay at the minimum or if your weekly average is way under go over calories for that day? Example, MFP has me at 1200 cals; I workout 5-6 days a week and on average burn 300-500 calories when…

Fitbit vs. Bodymedia vs. HRM
Do you have any of these calorie tracking devices? Which do you like the best and why? I have a bodymedia armband that I have used in the past. It's nifty but I don't like wearing it all the time since it's not exactly cute lol. However, I am worried the fitbit won't be as accurate with calorie burn etc. My HRM could use…

Bodymedia Sync Question
Question for those of you who use bodymedia or fitbit or other types of calorie tracking devices. I synched my bodymedia and it is telling me that yesterday I have 403 calories remaining. However, I only burned about 2200 calories for the day and I have it set to lose 1lb/week --so there should be a 500 cal/day defecit,…

10K race results
Hi all! I ran my first 10K race on Saturday since before I had kids (my girls are now 4 and 9 months old). I finished in 57:23 and placed 5th for women! I am SHOCKED and so excited! There were only 68 other women running it but still! I am really proud of myself :) Next thing I set for myself is a sprint triathlon on…

Runners: What type of strength training do you do?
Running is my main source of cardio; I usually run 4 days a week (average about 15-20 miles/week). I have been trying to do some strength training too, although it's hard to motivate myself to do it since I don't like it as much as running :) What type of strength do you runners do and how often etc?

Last 5 pounds...
Hey all! I am down to the last 5 pounds to lose. It is going soooo slowly now. I am breastfeeding my now 8 month old baby-- she does eat some solid foods, so I add in 300 calories for her. I am working out 5-6 days a week. My weight loss has been slow, averaging 0.5 pound a week and I am just really ready to get the last…

Breastfeeding and calories

MFP has my baseline set at 1200 calories/day for 1lb loss/week before exercise. I have been adding in 300 calories/day for breastfeeding so I'm not eating…
