What is the absolute warmest running gear?
As the title says, I need warmth help! Ever since losing weight, I CAN NOT get warm anymore and I can't go another winter being cold. Let's just say, I take my children to school and while waiting for the doors to open, I'm cry'n inside and just want to go back home, turn the fire on, move my chair right in front of it,…

Hi! I have a few questions about the body media
I have the advantage, been using for about a week now. I average about 1900 calories burned a day when not exercising. I'm visiting my family in the states so not as active. I only have my 2 year old with me. So my typical day is getting him up, making breakfast, chill out a bit since he is playing with his cousin. Make…

Please talk me down from the unrealistic ledge!
I've lost over 100 averaging about 2 pounds a week. I still have about 30 more to lose but have started lifting 3 weeks again and now nothing! Thing is, I knew this would happen but what I didn't research was how long it takes realistically to see some results. Are we looking at 3 months, 6 months, or a year or more. I…

Strength gains 2 weeks in?!?
I have just completed my first 2 weeks of SL 5x5, I follow the app and am still at a point where I am comfortable adding weights each workout. Is it possible or normal to feel stronger after just 2 weeks? I can see a difference in my arms and have already lost some centimeters in my arms and thighs. I am eating at a…

Not a recipe but high protein, low cal meal!
I'm sure most of you are aware of this meal but just in case..... I've recently started heavy lifting so getting more protein is now my mission. The one thing I have found is anything high protein is very filling! 1/2 tin of tuna drained 100 grams natural cottage cheese 150 grams whole grain wok noodles 1 ryvita sweet…

Is there a download for the Road Map or similar?
I'm sure I had it here and have searched but can't find the actual link. I may be wrong but when I clicked on the link ages ago, you could change the data to your personal settings. I would love to try using it. TX

Just started on Friday!
And I'm addicted already! I can't wait to get my workout in today! I'm still a bit confused about calories and macros, I still need to cut a bit to reach goal (I'm not focused on goal weight but I'm apple and hold all my weight in my tummy so when that is gone, I'm at goal!) Anyway, is there a calculator that is…

Is it crazy to spend nearly £300 on a sports watch?
I have lost 100 in 11 months and thought I might get a suunto as a reward. I love running! I currently have a Polar RCX5 with a GPS sensor and it works a treat but it's annoying having the GPS separate. I originally got a hrm to track fitness calories but now that I love running and pushing myself to run faster, I would…

Not lifting yet but macros excitement in the house!!!
I don't plan on lifting for a few months because I have to get my cardio obsession out of the way and I won't be home for nearly a month so best to start when I get back. So I've been learning from you all here and scooby's calculator and my goal is to get my macros in line before the big day. Today is day 1 and I'm just…

Polar fitness test and max heart rate ?
I just got a Polar RCX5 and completed the fit test. It came back with a good rating at 37 and an estimated max heart rate of 179 According to all the online calculators, my MHR should be 180. After 9 months of lots of running, my resting heart rate is 46-47, could this be the reason it has changed? I'm assuming that will…

Anybody have a HRM that you enter your RHR?
I have the garmin fr70 and it just bases my calories burned on my heart rate. I'm looking to upgrade to a model that allows me to input my RHR which is now just 45-46 and try and get a more realistic calorie count. I also like GPS features. I walked at a decent pace last week for nearly 4 hours and got 180 calories....I…

Bought a bench and weights!!!
Now to figure out where to start! Bench features: Incline, decline, preacher curl, leg lifts. Then there are squat stands with a lat pull down bar. And it came with about 140kgs in olympic weight plates! I'm nervous about starting because it means I have to change how I eat and realise that my weight loss will slow while I…

Just shot past my mini goal annnnnnd!!!!
I'm no longer obese! I set a tough goal 7 weeks ago that I wanted to get down to 180 pounds by my hubby's and my 10 anniversary. That meant I had to lose 2 pounds per week! I was gutted at the first week and gained 1 pound! I thought it was over but I kept going! That pound must have been water wait because it was off the…

Teeny NSV...First Dress in ages! Pics!
This past Sunday was the first time I have worn a dress in about 20 years! I loved it! I felt so pretty and feminine and really can't even remember feeling like that for a very long time. It has inspired me to buy more dresses. Blessed and happy doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. It's like I'm a new person and I…

The best NSV....ever!
Today, I jogged up to our grocery store with my toddler in tow. Ran into another school mum who said we were just talking about you and how well you have done with your weight loss. And then she added....you inspired me to walk into town and back today! I thought I was going to cry, it was the most amazing feeling to know…

I'm halfway! 66 pounds gone (pics included)
I started this journey at the end of July 2012. I started talking to my church friends who had been eating healthy and losing weight and invited me to try MFP. So I did, and it was the best thing I ever did! I've lost my weight by eating healthy. If I want a sweet I find a way to make it healthy and if there is no healthy…
