Best Way to Log Yard Work?
I will be doing yard work today that will mostly consist of push lawn mowing. I have a big front and back yard, so calories will definitely be burned. What is the best way to track this for my calories burned? (I don't have a FitBit and I don't carry my phone while mowing because of accidents and/or...sweat.

Calorie Counting Devices?
I am about to start training for a 5k that I am registered for in October. I usually use my treadmill just for light cardio, and of course this already has a calorie counter for me. I want to be outdoors for my training, so I am looking for a decent watch/arm band/device to track calories while I'm outdoors. Unfortunately…

TDEE...Grrr...
Okay, so I am one step closer to not being as confused, but I am still confused. I wanted to make sure I was eating enough. A friend suggested following this post: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ So I did and it was helpful. When it came down to it my TDEE was 2237. Minus 20% of that puts me at 1790. So does this…

Am I eating enough calories?
I want to make sure that I'm not having my body lose weight the wrong way. I want to be able to maintain when I hit my goal. MFP has my calorie intake set at 1500. I usually burn 200cals with exercise daily, which puts me at 1,700 ( I do my best to eat back exercise cals). I have in a range of 100-300 calories left over…

30 Day Squat and Crunch Challenge
Yesterday I started both of these challenges. For those who have done this, I was just wondering how you logged it. Did you just take it as a bonus tiny workout and not bother with logging it? <----May be a dumb question. :P

Anyone not counting sodium?
This may be a dumb question, but I always do my best to stay under sodium intake. So much that I'm starting to obsess/stress about it. I've always had good BP, even when I was pregnant. So, should I be so worried about the sodium? Don't worry, not wanting to go over by 3,000mg daily or anything like that. Just don't want…

Too Few Calories...
I am so conflicted by this. I feel like I eat all day. Of course I go for low cal snacks, meals, etc....but at the end of the day when I log my exercise, my remaining calories are at 500-800 (green numbers). The only thing I can think is "Great grape gravy, Batman. I can't eat another thing!!" I usually feel full and…

One Small Step Towards One Giant Leap
Two months ago I couldn't even pull these pants up past my thighs. I still have a long way to go, but I am one happy cookie right now ( the 100 calorie kind of course).

Too Motivated?
I am usually at least 400 calories under my calorie goal (I do eat back my exercise calories) I burn up to 500 calories a day at least 6 days a week. At first I was really content and proud of myself (which I still am, don't get me wrong). But, I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm not doing enough. I workout to the…

Xbox Kinect
Well, I think I have found something that will keep me entertained and will still be a work out. I've tried Jillian Michaels and just couldn't get into it. I'm a gamer so I figured something that would hold my interest would be the Kinect. I ordered Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 which should arrive tomorrow. Does anyone…

30 Day Shred?
I'm thinking of getting the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred because I've read a lot of great reviews for it. I have been walking on my treadmill for an hour a day and would like to bump it up a notch with this workout. I have two questions: 1) Would you recommend this workout? 2) Is there a way to log it in to my exercise…

Mommy!!
I've been doing my routine for about a month now and have made some progress. I am noticing that certain areas are starting to tone up. However, I had my awesome daughter 10 months ago and seem to be having trouble with that stubborn post-pregnancy belly. Any suggestions??
