Fitbit Charge HR Questions?
I'm thinking about buying one in the next couple of weeks and even though it has a heart rate monitor I'm not sure if I'm going to use it for Cize (Beach Body program) as I saw that someone else used theirs and it logged 5000+ steps a session which I'm sure some of those steps weren't from actually moving your feet but…

C25K or Zombies, Run! 5K
I have both apps already installed on my phone. I have done C25K and enjoyed the program but never finished it and now I'm thinking if I should stick with giving it another shot or checking our Zombie, Run! 5K since I have already paid for it. Thoughts?

Hello, anyone want to be friends?
Hi, I'm Keira and I'm a 22 year old Australian. I started using MFP often back in 2013 but I've been off and on my journey since then. I've lost some then gain nearly double back. I'm here because I'm now obese. I have around 19kg/41.8 lb to use. I have started logging again and I'm exercising every single day with yoga…

What is your opinion on eating meat and/or animal products?
Hi, I just finished watching a video about a woman and her experience on becoming a vegetarian. It was truly horrible as she had witness the death of her animals in order to feed a family. I felt so sad watching her speak and show pictures about them. What I wanted to know was your personal opinion on this matter. I am not…

What do you think the size of a healthy woman would be?
I just read an article about how a woman who is a size 14 (Australian) is classed as a plus size model. I would assume that healthy woman would infact be around size 12-14 (size 10-12 for US) and yet this woman is being called plus size?! I know that you shouldn't go off dress size at the end of the day but I'm curious as…

Any gamers out there?
If so, what is your favourite game or a game you're currently playing right now? I'm playing the Assassin's Creed series. Yes, I know it's been out for ages but I only just got back into it. :)

Best headphones for running?
I'm thinking of saving up for the JayBird Bluebuds X headphones. Any other recommendations?

Anyone else do meditation?
My counselor introduced me to meditation when I first met her. However, she originally wanted me to do an hour a day (30 minutes a day, twice a day). I wasn't in a mindset to really force myself to sit through it, especially that long and while I was so confused on what to actually do. I use to look at it as a chore.…

Gaining weight due to water consumption?
I have been consuming 3.25 liters of water everyday for the past week and prior to that I was drinking little to none. I was just wondering if you think that the reason I've gained this week is due to the high amount of water and my body adjusting or if I should be looking what I should be eating (haven't been tracking but…

How much is too much when it comes to water?
I have this new app to track my water and it says you just need type your weight and activity level in and it will tell you how much you need to drink. I'm at 175.5lb and doing some form of activity everyday for at least 20 minutes. It told me I should be drinking around 3.25 liters (around 109.9 oz) of water per day for…

How do you drink your lemon water?
Cold, warm, hot? Straight, honey or something else? How much lemon per glass I'm trying it straight tonight with 1 whole lemon for 1 and have glasses. I'm not use to the bitter taste yet.

7 day step friend challenge question?
I'm loving my Fitbit Flex so far but does the friends 7 day ranking challenge reset at the beginning of the week (Sunday or Monday) and if not when? I got mine on Thursday and it's now Sunday for me but it hasn't reset even though I have my beginning week starting on a Sunday. I noticed some people aren't going up in their…

How accurate do you find the Fitbit?
I'm thinking about finally getting one this weekend. What is your experience? Do you find the steps accurate enough? I've seen you can also use it for running. Is it still fairly accurate if you do so? Though, it will be primarily for walking. I do not care for the calories part of it. I've heard it is too generous and I…
-
Walking + eating cleaner only?
I'm just curious to see if anyone has had a lot of success doing walking/eating better. How much did you lose? How often would you walk? And for everyone who says you need to do strength training, I'm not looking to do anything intense or heavy right and I have been told to do at least 10,000 steps a day (which I currently…

How long until you saw improvement in your running?
Hey guys, I started outdoors running yesterday via C25K. I was just wondering as the title asks. Also, I seem to suffer with bad stitches and end up with a headache both times I went. Did anyone else have any issues like that? Any tips? Thanks!
-
Does anyone else suffer/ has suffered with social anxiety?
How do you deal with it? I've been hiding myself from the world for so long. I know the only way to overcome it is, you know, get out there and once I get past my awkwardness and the anxiety I probably would meet a lot of good people but honestly I don't even know where I'd meet people anyway. I usually talk to people…

Do any dancers have pronation?
Hi, I'm considering taking up dancing next year and I'm already worried that my pronation is going to affect me. I'm most likely going to go into contemporary. I'm just wondering does it affect you guys much and if so, have you found a way to combat it? I'll be okay if we wear shoes because I can get inserts to help but if…

Food that contains next to no sugar at least?
I'm trying to limit my sugar but it's sacrificing my calories. I usually have a smoothie in the morning (which takes a majority of my sugar intake), a frittata for lunch and some form of meat with vegetables for dinner and I plan to snack on carrots (although I should find something else because they have lots of sugar…
-
T25 nutrition plan?
I think I heard that they give you an option for 1200-1600 calories. Is that true? That seems to be little considering your body will need to be fuelled to do the routines. Do they do it the MFP way by eating back your calories? I'm currently on 1926 calories (TDEE method)!

How many of you have Asperger's Syndrome?
It just came to my attention today that I can come across as rude when people are joking because I sometimes don't see it as a joke and can't identify it as a joke and sometimes take offence to it (mind you I was also in a mood but anyway). It's probably happens with basic things too - like in the way I write about a…

Can you use cross trainers as running shoes too?
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. I know running shoes are going to the best but can you use cross trainers as a replacement? Thanks in advance.

What is a realistic time to finish a 5K?
I know everyone is different and I'm only just starting but I was wondering what would be a good goal would be time wise. :)

I ate 5,877 calories today...
My calorie goal is 1926 so I went over by quite a lot today... okay, a huge amount! I'm pretty much accepting it... what done is done. I've drunk 3 litres of water today maybe even more along with the food. I'm wondering if I should just continue with my 1926 calorie plan tomorrow or should I drop it down to 1400-1600…

T25 nutrition plan saying I should only eat 1600 calories.
I'm doing the TDEE approach and have my calories set for 1926 for weight loss. I'm planning on doing 3 x running/walk and 2 x Body Balance (Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates) classes a week on top of T25, so do you think it will be okay to keep it at my current calorie goal, if not a little more? I don't understand how they can…

Anyone else starting Focus T25 on the 17th of February?
It will be awesome to have people who are on the same day as me and such. I'm thinking about making a group for people who have started it in the month of February too. :)

We caught a rabbit that has been hanging out in our yard?
This rabbit has been coming and going from our yard for the past 3-4 days now and we finally had an opportunity to catch it. It easily came to us when we held out grain and started munching on the carrot we gave it immentantely so I am assuming it's a pet. My sister says people may of been trying to catch the rabbit…

Does anyone do T25 and other activities?
I'm going to be realistic here. I know I'm not going to be able to do T25 AND everything else I want to do at the same time. However, I've decided I'm going to attempt T25 and 2 x Body Balance (Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates) and later on add running back into my agenda. I may even cut Body Balance out for the first few weeks if I…
-
Insanity or P90X?
As far as I know Insanity is more cardio based and P90X is more strength training based. I'm looking to do it when I get a little closer to my goal weight and after running training so it would probably be more for toning the last bit and losing a little extra weight. What would you guys suggest?

Meditation for a beginner?
My counselor wants me to do 2 x 30 minute sessions a day and I am completely unmotivated to do it. I have OCD (mainly obsessive thoughts) and ADHD so I can't sit still or focus very long. I've been told it's too long for a beginner so should I go by what I think is right or what my counselor think is right. I'm not saying…
