OK. I am wondering what to do...I am 42, so according to the Karvonen THR scale my MHR is 178. I am training for a triathlon in May (it's only a sprint) and I run a lot anyway, do high-impact dance, swim, cycle, etc.and I am in very good cardio health. I forget my V02 Max but it was in the "excellent" category. When I am…

How many calories you need, and how much you should weigh.
I am hoping that this will help with so much of the confusion when it comes to calories in and body weight. First off, EVERY BODY is individual and different - one person who is 5'5" can weigh 150 and be fit, and for another that's overweight. Here is what I have learned to do to as accurately as I can to calculate HOW…

Should you eat your calories back? yes and no.
I have been following a workout plan and came to a page I wanted to share. You put in your GOAL weight, and it tells you how many calories to eat on non-workout days and how many to eat on workout days to maintain that weight. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer-phase-2-day-56.html For me, my…

There are gazillions on the market -- wondering if anyone uses one? I don't want to carry a notebook with me at the gym...I already have my phone! Want to log in my workouts per week, specific workout, reps and weight. Would be great if it tracked my progress as well. Thanks!

I come here for the drama...and the laughs.
Oh... opinionated people of MFP...the variety here is great! Who needs reality TV when you get all this? There's everything from people sharing things on the internet they shouldn't be sharing and the myriad of opinions that follow, to non-stop gif orgasmic dorkdom, and the ubiquitous "hot or not, squeeze poke kiss lick…

I want to learn more about nutrition...know a good book?
I have plateaued and I know it's because of my diet. I need to learn more about proper nutrition, not just "eating less calories" - I want to eat the RIGHT calories. Of course I know, proteins, whole grains, F&V's blah blah blah...but in what order? What together? The interwebs has too much information that's all different…

I was able to shopping yesterday...in my own closet!
All of my size 12 clothes are now swimming on me, so I went to the dust covered section of my drawers and closet -- my old size 10's. THEY FIT comfortably! It's been 7 years since I was able to fit into a size 10! I put on some old DKNY jeans I used to love and they fit! I looked at my booty from behind and it's looking…

OK - does anyone want to hike?
I would love to meetup for a hike with MFPers! Anyone want to do a South Mountain hike? What's your fitness level? Favorite trails? I usually start out at Pima Canyon trailhead, head up to ridgeline, down that main one (the dirt road lol) and out for a quick 3.5 mile hike. If I want to do longer I will cut up off the dirt…

Do you eat even when you are not hungry?
I am curious about this. I am hungry in the morning, and then don't get hungry again until around 1:30 (I will eat a handful of nuts around 10:30 or so) and then after I eat lunch I am usually not hungry for the rest of the day. This will sometimes leave me around 500 calories under my needed intake. Because of this I will…
