Which HRM / Workout tracker?
I was going to get the Garmin 405 from Costco, but I checked the online reviews and it says it's garbage when wet (which I live in BC so it will be wet with sweat or rain every time I use it) So which would you recommend? Price is not important. Thanks!

After the dust settles...
So it's been a few weeks since starting this journey. Today I weighed because I felt like a feather. I am only up 1lb now! My muscle definition is coming in nicely and my inches (measurements) are down BIG time. Stick with it newbies and and veterans alike. This is awesome!

Add me!
I'm always looking to connect with EM2WL folks. If you want some more friends lets' connect. I know it always helps me stay motivated when like minded people are popping up in my news feed. :)

Long Weekend Woes?
Stop stressing. Remember that a bad few days in the grand scheme is NOTHING. Heck, add in another day of overeating if you feel like it. The reality is you may bounce up and down a few pounds in a couple of weeks, but if your end goal is to be a healthy weight for life and to live a healthy lifestyle - look at the 2 weeks…

Re-bloat?
I had a long weekend on the road (5 days) and I couldn't eat my recommended calories. When I did eat it wasn't the best quality food. Is there such a thing as re-bloating? It would explain my meat fingers (super swollen) and side bulge. Just running through some thoughts here, as my measurements are down overall despite…

Rushfit - Anyone else out there?
So who else uses Rushfit as their ST system? The burn is intense and it's a hard program so when I have a choice of running or this, I usually run. That being said I am trying very hard to get on a regular routine. Who else uses it and what are your results like?

Weight up after week 2?
So the first week I was up 5lbs. Now on my second week of EM2WL and I am up another 2. Anyone else experience a constant increase in weight? The reason I weighed is because I looked smaller (again) and I wanted to confirm this. SOOOO weird ;)

We shouldn't net under BMR?
Is that correct?

I've turned sadistic. I wish pain on others.
Okay so I had a thought today. 40 days ago I would never have thought I'd like working out (running, rushfit, abs). Yesterday I finished my run and then came home and did a 10 minute ab-blast and chest exercises. The pain was intense but I kept pushing through it. I've realized I am becoming sadistic. I like the pain.…

SO MUCH eating. :[
I feel like I am eating constantly. Today I need to eat 3,000 calories to eat my workout calories. I am so bloated, my pants don't fit. Man... it's getting insane. I am sticking with it though!

Running pain
I've been experiencing pain mostly in my calves. Any idea why this might be? My shins and knees and ankles are fine. Is it my stride?

NSV [pics] After Workout
I felt good after my workout today so I took a few pictures. To me this is the best shape I have been in since being a teenager. That's sad to me and I am VERY down about my endurance and strength. But the bottom line is I am further than I have been in 10 years. I have a long way to go before I am "happy" in a final…

Started run training 2 weeks ago
I'm working intervals right now and I am up to walk 2 run 6. My goal is to be able to run for 45 minutes straight. Any over that is gravy. Do you find a marathon inspires you to train harder? My fear is always finishing last.. :/

How long for bloat to go?
I'm on day 8 of eat more and my pants and shorts are all tight. Not only that but my "love handles" are really huge. I'm getting super self conscious because the weather is getting good and I can't temporarily cover myself in a sweater :/ How long does this bloating phase last for? I shoul add that I've never worked out so…

How's my diary now?
I'm at the 1 week mark of changing my entire diet and workout routine due to some great and convincing advice on MFP. Can you please check out my diary and make any suggestions you think I could use? I think it looks good but bottom line is 40 heads are better than one and I respect the advice here. Age: 27 Male 6'0 BMR:…

Running consecutive days?
Hey all. It's just started to get nice outside and I want to take advantage of the weather. As a newish runner, should we be going on consecutive days? I used to run in high school at least 6 miles a day with no problem. But as I get older I don't want to cause any damage especially when I am building back my endurance.…

Upper body only exercises
Today I BADLY rolled my ankle playing ice hockey and I can barely walk on it. As a result my entire weekend is shot (it's beautiful out so I planned on running about 20k) I'm not happy about this at all. :/ While I wait for it to go away what can I do at home that is upper body only? All I have are a couple of free weights…

Taking a day off exercise (the guilt!)
I never thought in my life I'd eel guilt about NOT exercising. I need to take a day off, as I have exercised about 9 days in a row. This is a hard mental adjustment. I feel like I should be doing something. I suppose some Yoga and stretching isn't really exercising so much is it? ;)

We need a show like Lost again
There hasn't been a good series like "Lost" in years. We need something captivating, new, and exciting on TV.

What shoes for mud?
I love trail running. I am currently running in a nice pair of reebok cross trainers which I LOVE. They are wonderful. My issue is that they are hard to clean off as the mud gets in all of the little mesh holes and grates. I don't want them to wear down quickly so I maintain them, What do you run in and how do you handle…

Day 3 of eat more, 4.5lb gained
I have been working out very hard and eating 1,000 calories more than I was before. I feel 100x better. I have more energy and I can get up in the morning with ease. I am slightly concerned that 4.5lb is a lot of weight gain. It doesn't really add up. How is my body storing that much water/calories. Do you think I was in…

Increased food yesterday and...
It's been over 24 hours and I feel like a different person. I increased my calories by about 900 per day according to my activity level (BMR/TDEE). My Strength Training today didn't drain me (when it normally does and I usually can't finish) so I went for a run and hike to boot for a total of an hour. I've also suffered…

How long does the bloat last?
On my 2nd day of eating more and I am insanely bloated. How long does this feeling usually last for?

Please look at my diary?
Can someone check out my diary today and let me know how I am doing overall? I'd just like some outside advice... TDEE is 3370 BMR is 2670 I'd appreciate ALL feedback you're willing to offer. Thank you!

Howdy everyone!
My name is Brad. I was fit as a teenager and loved outdoor activities, but as I got out of highschool and worked a desk job I gained 180lbs to hit 380lbs. I managed to lose it all over 2 years doing Atkins (this was 9 years ago) Then I met my girlfriend at the time, and we got married. I slowly went up in weight to 255.…

4 Weeks in, no weight lost.
I've been using MFP for almost a full month now. I've been tracking diligently and haven't missed any days. I'm trying to lose my last 20lbs, but I just can't seem to shed them. I've been under my calorie goals, working out several times per week and eating balanced. I am looking for some advice and help here as I am…
