Strength training and not losing weight......trained profess
Ok...I am a big cardio person but have recently started a boot camp and did a gravity class at the Y. Since I have started this I have noticed by scale slowing down or gaining a few ounces. I gained 4oz after my 1st week of boot camp. I am eating right and doing cardio on my off days. I have seen on here where they say you…

10k & HALF MARATHON TRAINING = STARVING
I am training for a 10k and Half Marathon (trying to see if a Half is even possible before I sign up) and run pretty much everyday (2-6 miles right now) except Fridays. I eat dinner after my evening runs and I am starving and I seem to overeat at dinner. When I eat over my calories I show a gain on the scale the next…

FITBIT QUESTION
I recently got a Fitbit from my husband for Christmas. Can you synch it on any computer or just the computer you set it up on? Like if I use my home computer for set-up can I bring the dongle to work to synch it here at work too? Also does anyone still use a HRM or do you trust the calories burned on the fitbit to be…

Will I EVER overcome this plateau?
I have been stuck at 143lbs and will go between 143-145lbs. If I eat over 1200 calories I go up to 148 and when I drop my calories back down I get back to143 and get stuck again. I run but since I have had some knee pain after my runs I took a break from running and started JM 30 Day Shred to tone instead of just doing…

Maintain or Continue to Lose?
Is anyone else afraid of reaching your goal and with your new healthy habits you will just continue to lose? I do not want to look sickly skinny because I don't think I will quit working out and eating better. I do not starve myself...I eat if I am hungry and make healthy choices. I have heard it is hard to maintain but…

Why is the scale not moving?
I have been running for 30-45 minutes on the treadmill and then walking for 20 minutes on the treadmill everyday this week! I have been exercising since January so this is not a new routine (I have been running outside, doing the elliptical, and have attended two boot camps). I have been staying under my calorie range. My…

What should I set my activity level as?
On MFP it says to put sedentary if you have a desk job. I have an 8-4:30 p.m. desk job but I have seen people put on here if you exercise often then you should set it differently. I have boot camp 3 days a week (1 hour a session) and try to run and do cardio any chance I get (30 minutes to an hour). What should I set my…

How often should I run?
I have began running and it is something I actually look forward to doing. The longest distance I have been able to run without stopping is 3.1 miles (and the only reason I stopped was because I was running a 5k) but I was exhausted. I ran 2 miles last night and was wondering how many days of rest should I take or could I…

Arc Trainer or Elliptical
Which machine gives a better work-out? I always get on the Elliptical but I see a girl at the gym everytime I am there that gets on the Arc Trainer everytime (and is in really good shape). Do they work-out differents parts of your body and is one better than the other? Should I do both or rotate? Just wondering because I…

5K RACE TIMES
I was wondering what your first 5k race time was (when you ran the entire 3.1 miles)? I am a new runner (not a really good one either) and I ran (the entire time) a 5k Saturday. My time was 36:28 and I was a little down because I felt like I should have made better time. I have had people tell me not to be down because…

What to eat for 5k?
I am running a 5k tomorrow. What should I eat for dinner (we are more than likely eating out) and breakfast (eating at home) before the race? I have heard carbs and protein but is that the night before or morning of. I do not drink shakes (YUCK!). I have run 5k's before but did not do my best because I was just basically…

What Is Going On?
I have been eating right and excersing and the scale either does not move or only lose 8 ounces in 1 week. My muscles are really sore from all the cardio work-outs (especially in my legs) and I am wondering if my muscles are swollen and that could make the weight loss seem slower? My leg muscles are extremely sore. I think…

Zoe's Chicken Salad Sandwich
I had a Zoe's chicken salad sandwich for lunch today since it was brought in to work for the boss's birthday. I chose it over the lunch I brought from home because there was no sodium and my lunch (weight watchers dinner) had a lot of sodium (though less fat than the chicken salald sandwich). I was stuffed after eating…

I am not reaching 1200 calories but I am not hungry after I eat my planned out meals. I just do not see the sense in eating whenever I am not hungry....isn't that what got me here in the first place? Any suggestions how I could get more calories in without making myself feel YUCK whenever I get up from the table? I know…
