How Accurate is the Fitbit Charge 2 Heart Rate Monitor?
I've recently started using my Fitbit again, along with weighing and measuring my food. Today I worked out twice - once at an aerobics class and I went for a hike. My fitbit is adding a ton of calories to my diary - like 900+ for the hour and a half workouts plus my daily activity. So, my question is, how accurate is it?…

Calorie deficit = no muscle mass gain. so why am I stronger?
The topic says it all. I have read on here for months that you cannot gain muscle in a calorie deficit. So here is my question. If I cannot gain muscle mass in a calorie deficit, how am I continually getting stronger? Can you gain strength without gaining muscle? I am able to lift more weights, do more pushes and am…

Plateauing at TDEE -35%
So far I have lost 47 pounds. I have been eating at TDEE -35%, or around 1600 calories, for a few months now having upped from 1300 back in February/March. I have been working out (although I took a break for a couple weeks last month) pretty consistently doing cardio (4-5 times a week), yoga (1-2x a week), and TurboFire…

Is your MFP projected weight loss accurate?
Wondering if you find that MFP correctly projects your weight loss at the end of your day. My "if every day were like today you would weigh...." Seems to be exaggerated. Also, I never lose as much as MFP says I should based on calorie consumption. This week I am almost 7,000 calories under goal ( or 2 pounds) because of…

Do you have a reward for your BIG goal?
I am planning on getting a tattoo on my ribs when I reach my goal of meeting and maintaining for a year 140 lbs. Got me wondering if others have rewards planned for their big goals and what they are.

Calf pain
I am doing TurboFire, which is very high intensity, about 6 days a week. I also use resistance bands to strength train and do yoga around 5 times per week. Last week while doing TurboFire I started to get shin splints. They went away with a little rest and some yoga for runners. Now the past couple of days I have had pain…

How do you keep your sugars low?
I have been noticing lately how high my sugar intake is. I am over today because I had oatmeal (sweetened), an apple, and a yogurt. I didn't have coffee with sugar which I usually do and I am still over. How do you keep yours low? Avoid fruit and any sweet food? I am at a loss as to how to get it down and still eat a…

No lunges, No squats.... Suggestions?
So I have been working out solidly 5-7 days a week since January. I am currently doing TurboFire at full intensity (meaning jumps, plyometrics, the whole deal). The problem I am having is that in all if my strength workouts squats and lunges are used to work legs and Glutes. During and after these workouts my knees hurt so…
