Married Guy Looking For Similar Married Guy Friends
I'm a married guy, soon to be 40. Have been losing weight pretty steadily since 2011, but have sort of plateaued over the last six to eight months. I started working from home last May and while I would have thought it would help me make good choices, it's actually been hard since I tend to snack all through the day.…

NSV - Half Marathon
I just got back from Florida after running the Disney Princess Half Marathon with my wife. I ran my first (and only other) half in 2013. I had ambitious goals to run two or more in 2014 but laziness and weight gain prevented me from running any half marathons. So glad to get one completed in 2015! I definitely want to do…

Carry over "earned" calories
I sometimes work out late in the evening and end up with a lot of calories remaining at the end of the day. An example might be I go on a run at 9:00 PM, get home, shower, and go to bed with 700 calories remaining for the day. I often try to eat some extra through the day when I know I'll be working out, but I'm hesitant…

WDW Princess Half Next Weekend - Anyone Going?
My wife and I are doing the WDW Princess Half Marathon next weekend. Anyone else on here going? It will be my wife's first half and my second. We did the WDW Tower of Terror 10 Miler in October, 2013, and it was a lot of fun.

Circuit Training vs. HIIT
Can someone briefly explain the difference between circuit training and HIIT? I've read both are good for stamina, endurance, efficient use of exercise time, etc. But I'm still not clear on the different benefits of each or what makes on different than the other.

Aria Scale for Body Fat %
Has anyone had experience with the Fitbit Aria scale. I got a Fitbit a month ago and really love it. I'm wondering if the Aria scale is worth the investment from both an accuracy standpoint as well as the convenience of syncing with my Fitbit app and dashboard. I have an old (~10 years old) scale that does weight and body…

Medications Causing Weight Gain/Loss?
I have a general question that comes from a number of threads I've read here on MFP. Many people state that a medication has caused them to gain weight. You can substitute whatever medication you want for the purposes of this question...Birth control, acne, thyroid, BP, etc., etc., etc. I'm curious, and hope someone can…

Endomorphs & Fat Loss
I know the rule for weight loss is: Calories Burned > Calories Eaten = Weight Loss Recently I've read that endomorphs should try to eat sweet/starchy carbs only after a workout. I've read multiple sources that indicate this is due to the way carbs trigger insulin and other body functions and that this is helpful after…

Surge Question re: Heart Rate and Exercise
I know the Surge is new and there may not be a lot of people out there with it yet. But for those who do have it, how well are you finding the heart rate (HR) function working? I got mine today and went to the gym this evening. I did 17 minutes elliptical, 21 min weights, and 20 more minutes on the elliptical. While I was…

Losing Weight while training for a Half Marathon
Has anyone out there had success in losing weight and training for a half marathon at the same time? I've read a number of websites that suggest the two goals are not good to take on at the same time. For me, I find that when I'm running regularly and incorporating a "long" run every other week that I'm famished. With such…
