Fitness Bracelets - accuracy & compatibility with MFP
Have been researching and shopping for months now for the best fitness bracelet for me. I borrowed a friend's Body Bugg for a few weeks and the constricting arm wrap is annoying. Found this article with reviews: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404445,00.asp Does anyone have pros/cons? I need one that will sync with…

Paleo..... your thoughts?
Looking for opinions on going Paleo. I'm marathon training right now, so my thoughts are to KEEP the potatoes, rice, corn, and beans -- all foods in their original, natural form. But in addition to marathon training, I lift. No puny weights for me!!! Anyone enjoy Paleo? Notice a difference in endurance? Improved physique?…

((PICS)) 8 Lbs left!
Never posted pics before, but here goes. I'm still "in progress" with about 8 lbs left to go. My highest weight was in the 170s (not counting the 200+ I weighed when I was pregnant with my first child)... and I stand tall at 5'1". I have been digging through a lot of old photos in my heavier days and there's a huge…

Varying BMR calculations
Hey MFPeeps! Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I am reevaluating my goals and taking a closer look at my calorie intake. I'm eat high protein particularly on lift days, am very active (work out six days a week with cardio and heavy weights), 5' 1", 138 lbs. So from various websites, I've gotten BMR calculations…

Time it takes to see muscle definition?
Hey MFPals! This is the longest I've stuck to a "get healthy" plan. Normally when I get the bug to work out/diet, I'll lose about 5 lbs, feel proud.. and then slack off. This time is totally different. I'm about 6 weeks into working with a trainer and doing cardio 6 days a week, so my question is -- how long of doing…

Substitutes for oats and tuna?
Hey MFPeeps! My trainer has changed up my diet this week and has me doing a cycle of high carb day, low carb day, no carb day. But I need substitutes for oats and canned tuna. Can't stomach either!? Thoughts? Thanks!!!

Looking for exercise-focused and motivating friends!
Hey MFP folks! I'm not new to MFP, but I started with a trainer this week and she has completely changed the way I work out. As a runner, I have the stamina for 2 hour runs (running my fifth half marathon in New Orleans this weekend), but it's not melting the 25 lbs I need to lose. Soooo... I'm looking to add…

Do you "eat" calories burned during exercise?
I have ramped up my cardio these past few weeks and some days, I have constant hunger. I do not like to feel hungry because I don't make the best decisions when my tummy is growling. I prefer to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day so that my blood sugar stays steady and I also don't feel deprived. But with some of my long…
