OMG heart rate monitor apps.....stressing me out - what do you use?
Got a heart rate monitor about a month ago and have been playing with what seems like a ton of different apps. I know there are a million different varieties of threads on this, but not finding consistency in the readings for my workouts. Endomondo gives me a 350 cal burn while Runkeeper awards me 600 calories and…

Baker's Cyst experiences
Yes I already did a search for the topic and read the various threads, but I'm still a little freaked out. I was pretty sure I had DVT and was going to die this week (I love to self diagnose lol). Turns out after an ultrasound I have a baker's cyst. But it seems like all the symptoms described are pain in the back of the…

Stats and final thoughts and stuff
I'll start the posts of "how did my whole30 go?"? :) I wish I had measured myself, but I did not. Weight was 247 at start, this morning it was 228.8, so that is a drop of 18.2 lbs. I have to say the majority of this was in the first two weeks (14 lbs), which is usually expected when started a new way of eating. Since then…

Energy levels - magic?
So a friend and I are on day 16. I feel pretty good - nothing "magical" yet as they say LOL....whereas my friend that started with me says he has 0 energy and is dragging a**. Do you all vary like this? Or do you feel pretty good by now? Maybe he needs to tweak what he eats....hrmmm.....

bacon
Probably has been brought up before, but in the hunt for bacon today and all have added sugar even though it says 0 sugar. This is a no no anyway isn't it? Do all your bacons says no sugar in the ingredients? Wanted to make that spinach bacon stuffed chicken as well this week.... Against my hunch, the boyfriend said ooh…

Prepping for Monday
Thankfully i have a Whole Foods AND a Fresh Market nearby, so went scouting Whole Foods last night. I picked up Coconut Oil and some rooibos teas in initial preparation for a start point next Monday. I imagine chicken sausages were okay - they were all ingredients i could read - it was just some spices and…

Crossfit shoes for bigfoot
Reading up on best shoes for CrossFit and I have some wide feet. Was looking at the Inov and they seem narrow.....after reading, I'm gathering the New Balance Minimus line is best for wide feet. I know ultimately the best thing is for me to go check them all out, but anyone have Nano, Minimus or any other brand they…

Ravenous
Okay idk if this is just in my mind or what. But ever since I started consistently doing CrossFit I'm frickin hungry like ALL THE TIMEEEEEEEEE. I don't track on MFP, I lost 150 lbs on weight watchers points and am still doing that on pen and paper, so I'm doing what i know worked for me in the past but I'm so damn hungry.…

"Endurance/Obstacle" races and tying in CrossFit
Anyone do the obstacle/endurance races? Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, etc etc etc. I have to say that I did one called Mud Endeavor in October before starting Crossfit and it was HARD...wanted to leave the course many times, but that's just not me. I had a bum shoulder too (just getting over sprained AC joint)…

Double Unders
So I know this probably comes easy to some people, but if I would have been able to do double unders I would have had my first Rx today. I can own singles, but the double is eluding me - I can do like....one. Granted I've only been attending CrossFit for a month now, but this seems like it is going to be most frustrating.…

Changing the mental game!!!!!!!!!! GAHHHHH
I've been tracking faithfully for just two weeks. The first week I was down 8 - I know it is mostly because my first "TOP" weigh in day came after a massive party weekend (including 1700 calories worth of just alcohol...shush, i know....). Today I weighed in and I'm up 2 - so it still balances out 6 lbs in two weeks which…

Hiya, Huge into hockey, I play 3-4 times a week. Lost a bunch of weight in the past with weight watchers and needed something new for this last"push".
