Body Fat % accuracy?
At the moment, I cannot get to a doctor or gym to have my body fat checked, and have no access to a scale with a body fat check. I used the "Fat 2 Fit" website to calculate my BF%, using every calculator. Two of the calculators gave me a BF of 27 and 28.6, however the military bodyfat calculator gave me 39.3! I checked out…
Wet running shoes - help!
So today while out running in Canadian melting snow, I stepped in an enormous puddle hidden under snow/ice with one of my shoes. Oops! :tongue: Does anyone have tips to help my awesome running shoes recover? I googled it, however I would love to know if anyone has experience with this. :smile:
Obese boyfriend help?
TLDR summary at the end of post! My boyfriend is very obese, and I have no problem with that (besides worrying about his health, of course). Since I have changed my lifestyle he wants to get on board and asked me for help, which is awesome. He's a very smart guy, but has no clue about health and has been very overweight…
Insanity AND running? Help!
I really, really want to try Insanity. I have been working out religiously for a while and have raised my fitness level, and I think the New Year is a great time for the challenge. I only have one problem - I've been training for a 5K, and want to sign up for one this summer. This has been a dream of mine for my whole…
Energy Drink alternatives?
I come home from working on my feet early mornings and am often very tired. I was never a big fan of energy drinks, and I really don't want any of the calories or huge sugar spike. Is there anything else I can try? I'm not looking for a huge rush of energy, just enough to get me off my feet (and away from my computer/snack…
What do you measure?
I am a huge believer in measuring everything since the scale is a liar (I had gained 4 pounds but lost two inches off my waist and an inch all over). I am wondering which measurements or other goals you guys track? I track my bust, waist, lower belly, hips, arms and thighs. I also track my BMI and body fat (an internet…
Bowflex vs. weights? Good routines?
My parents just bought a Bowflex, and although I am perfectly happy with my free weights I feel as if I should take advantage of the opportunity. I have just moved up to ten pound weights, and do a short routine of relatively basic exercises). I am currently looking through Bowflex exercises, but there are so many that I'm…
Creative chicken breast recipes?
I've been on Google looking and have found a few that look alright, but nothing that really inspired me. I was a vegetarian for a couple years (by default - my roommate was a vegetarian and I learned to cook from her!) so I'm not the best chicken cook and am just learning. Any recipes, tips and trick would be awesome to…
NSV - Gained 2 pounds, but...
...I lost inches in only 10 days! I had already lost 10 pounds before I discovered MFP (my highest was 185) and have been on here for 10 days. In that time I've really stepped up the exercise and protein/fiber, and I'm incredibly proud of myself for sticking with it. I'm also a party monster, but now I take air popped…
