Stride length - had a One, got a new Charge HR
Hi all, I got my new Charge HR this week and replaced my One online on the Fitbit system. Everything seemed to flow seamlessly. All my settings seemed to carry over. My question is, do I have to re-set my stride length? I remember spending the better part of a week getting my stride perfect on the one, and would hope I…

Do you log your NROLFW workouts in MFP? If so, how?
Hi all, I did a search for this and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I use a fitbit for my walking, and love it -seems pretty accurate and it puts my TDEE at almost exactly the same as my calculations. But of course it does not calculate any calorie burn for lifting types of exercises. Do any of you log your…

I'll show you mine.....home workout area that is!
I am so excited. Yesterday I set up my new weight area for NROLFW. It took me most of the day, so I just did a short run through. Today will be my first workout. But I had to share and show you a pic. The reason I chose this set up is that the bench and rack are separate so I can move the bench out of the way for squats.…

My new 'go to' snack/appetizer. Yummy!
This may have been posted in the past, if so, apologies. Okay, I bought some wonton wrappers. I had never bought them before - in my store, they were near the refrigerated salad dressings and with the tofu - in the produce area. So, take a muffin or cupcake tin, spray each area and put a wonton wrapper in each. Bake in a…

Buying equipment tomorrow - quick question
Hi all, I got NROLFW from the library, then ordered a copy. I plan to start as soon as I have my equipment purchased. I found the weight bench and rack that I want. I plan to go tomorrow morning to make my purchases. My question pertains to the bar. Everything I have seen says to use an Olympic bar, which I gather is…

Do you do weight training at home?
Hi all, First off, I'm 52 and was completely out of shape in February when I started losing weight. During my weight loss, the bulk of my exercise has been walking between 2 and 4 miles per day (4mph) on the treadmill. The more I read, the more I think I'd like to start doing some weight training. My first interest was…

Low cal cole slaw - any recipes out there?
I like to make a batch of cole slaw to either eat by itself, or put on top of my lettuce salads. It's a great way to dress them up fast. But the pre-made dressings are so high in calories. I made some last night using light miracle whip, some white wine vinegar, brown mustard, a bit of splenda, and salt & pepper. It was…

Graduation dinner tonight - Yikes!
Hooray, my youngest is graduating from College tomorrow! No more tuition payments!!! BUT... we have a family dinner planned at an Italian restaurant tonight. Since February when I seriously started this journey, I've only eaten out a handful of times. And never at someplace so fraught with perils. My original goal was 160…
