Is it a jog or a walk?
I normally walk on my treadmill at 3.0 for one hour to an hour and forty minutes, 3-5 miles. Today I wanted to a bit shorter of a workout, so I tried jogging. Now I admit that I took breaks since I'm not used to it, but I actually ended up keeping the treadmill at 3.0. When I normally walk, I take longish strides, but for…

Too many fitbit calories back?
So, I think that my fitbit is giving me too many calories back. I'm getting a good amount of steps in (between 15,000 and 20,000), but they are far from all "exercise" calories. I'm having trouble eating enough calories to compensate and don't feel hungry. I have my mfp weight loss set to a slow rate, so I have plenty of…

Burning Muscle???

Even with my limited knowledge of anatomy and nutrition I feel that I can safely say that that is total baloney... BUT, I just wanted to check in. Does that makes sense? Is it…

Workout woes...
I love to walk for exercise. I regularly walk at the local state park or on my treadmill. I don't go super fast, but I usually log 5-6 miles each day that I work out. My problem is that I will have a few great days in a row and then one day where I just seem to tank. I hate every step, can't seem to get my heart rate up or…

Zumba on Wii...
Anyone have it? I am thinking about buying it, but hate to consider spending $50+ if people don't like it. I read some reviews on Amazon, but wanted to hear from my MFP friends. Thanks in advance! :)

Sweaty and Gross
Just finished 5 miles on the treadmill and I feel awesome. Thanks to MFP and my online friends for the knowledge, support, and extra motivation. I couldn't be happier with how I feel and I have only been on the site for a week and a half. Even if I don't drop weight quickly or as much as I hope to, I already feel great…

Foolish Mistake, Lesson Learned
So today after work, I decided to indulge myself in some Baked Cheetos. I have a soft spot (around my middle) for chips and other salty junk food and had more than I wanted to include in my calorie count. I had planned on forgoing exercise today (planned day off) but after I realized the damage I did with the junk, I…

Blisters... :(
I have been working hard on the treadmill and due to a long walk and too thin socks, I got some blisters on my feett. It didn't seem too bad a first, so I kept on the treadmill for the next few days. Today though, I can't imagine hopping on the treadmill. Does anyone have any suggestions for avoiding the blisters or…
