Game: 1 eating mistake of a person before you (share diary!)

It goes like this: Analyze my today's/yesterday's/day before yesterday dairy (of 1 day, can be of whole week if one has enough time) and point out 1 nutrition mistake that I did. Next person will analyze yours diary and tell you what you could improve! Then another person continues with the…

Running with your phone
Hi probably some if you use various phone apps when running/ exercising. Myself I use Runtastic and of course MFP. A question... Where do you keep your phone so that it doesn't bother you when running? I have a tiny pocket in my short pants but it takes serious gymnastics to close this pocket with phone in, nevermind…

Insanity after Ripped 30??
Hi guys, I am on Ripped 30 DVD right now. I like this concept of daily exercise for 30 days... I am already thinking of what to do after Ripped 30. I am shyly thinking of Insanity but I AM SO SCARED!!! Can you tell me : - how much harder that is than RIpped 30 (if you've done it as well)? - how to not get freaked…

Worse week...
Hey! I am already 5 weeks (or slightly over) here and it went pretty fine so far. I used to exercise a lot and eat healthy. This week I definitely exercised the least... mostly because weather is hellish here now.. rains all the time and is cold. I am changing into indoor exercises again then. But.. this week i did some…

Exercising Ripped30 every second day in the beginning?
Hi, I did ripped yesterday and i also did squats additionally. Last weekend i biked over 70 km and now I truly feel sore. I know Jillian said: exercise everyday but i feel too sore to do it today. Is it a good idea to do it this week wvery second day and then, say, after 6 sessions, to switch to level 2 everyday? Or would…

Eating when you're back at 6 PM and still want to work out?
Hi, I am coming back from work at 6PM and I am usually very hungry.. I am used to eating a meal, mostly based of wholewheat bread/lean meat/vegs. Then i wait 1-2 h and i do my 30 min exercise round (or go running). Then i just eat a small yogurt afterwards. This is perhaps not optimal but i want to avoid eacting much after…

Hunger after exercise?
Hi! I always try not to eat over my daily goal calorie, but there are days when i sport quite a bit (like today 1,5 h biking, quite at max. of my capabilities). Then I come back home and I am very hungry. Usually I satisfy myself with yogurt, but today I had to eat some bread with tuna additionally. Only then did I feel my…

Do you add some calories burnt from strenght exercises?
Hi, I just did squats (with dumbbells), military press, biceps and triceps curls and related arm exercises with dumbbells. Each time i did 3 sets of 10-12 reps. I try to add some calories but I am not sure how many. I exercised for about 20 mins in total, but as you know, you usually make 30-45 second pause between setts.…

I need moral support..
Hi guys, A colleague of mine lost quite some 6-8kg on weight watchers. She is now an object of admiration of how much can one achieve on a diet, which is partially good. However that person is completely against any physical exercise. She lost all this weight by eating less or much less and with no exercise. For some…

What am I burning?
Hi, I go running 5k four times a week (takes 30 min each time) and I go walking at least 1 hour everyday. In the weekends I bike 1,5-2h. My question is: what do I burn with these activities. Of course running is the most exhausting, with my HR going the highest, while walking is the low-impact. Recently my boyfriend told…

Did " in 5 weeks you would weigh..." worked for you?
I am just 2 weeks busy with MFP, so far goes very well, I exercise a lot, eat healthy and manage good Net results. Each day when i complete the diary I get the message with projected weight (if everyday was like that). I really like it, makes me always smile and keeps me motivated BUT.... is that reality? Can my older MFP…

Does running 30min 4x per week makes any difference?
Hi, I'm confused.. I run 4 times per week 5k and it takes 30 min each time exactly. I was under impression I'm doing such a great job when I learned that I might be actually burning muscles instead of fat during these 30 min Currently I cannot run longer than that. I consider it a max distance\time I can run daily now.…

weigh-in: should I drink 1 glass of water?
Hi, I read somewhere that it's best to weight in first thing in the morning. However some websites speak of drinking 1 glass of water before in order to make sure that the fat indicator is showing fat index correctly (i have this "advanced" scale with fat/muscle indicator). Does it make any sense at all to you? I would…

Anyone actually lost weight while biking?
Hi guys, similarly to walking, biking does not seem a very hard exercise to me.. I only have time to do it in the weekend (in the week days I run and do very brisk power walks), but when i bike I usually go 26-30 km going with speeed of 10.5-12 mph all the time. And as my countryside is very flat - that means constant…

Does walking (fast pace) really count as exercise?
Hi! If i cannot do anything else (for example lunch break at work) I go walking (fast pace, around 3.5 mph). Today I walked in total around 10 km, yesterday too, all in that pace. It says I should count around 200-220 kcal burned per hour of this exercise (i also check this with GSP tracker Runtastic). My question is: as…

Restaurant outing and keeping the calorie count diet!
Hi, in a few days I will go to a restaurant. I will pick fish and sorbet as a dessert but even if I try to make healthy choices i am pretty sure it will be way over my daily calorie budget. And the meal is at 8 pm... So no way eating nothing for whole day... I was thinking on deliberately eating half portions. I can really…

Running in the morning... help!
Hi, I love running, i can run for 5 km with just a few couple-of-seconds march intervals (closer to the end) and I love to run. However.... I can only do it in the evening. I have a routine : coming back from work, eating dinner (for me just some slices of bread with peanut butter or jam or ham or cottage cheese as I eat…

Daily calory intake around the globe!
Hi guys, I just wanna share sth that struck me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_map_of_Energy_consumption_2001-2003.svg It presents a map where it's shown how many calories per DAY each country consumes on average. Looks like my daily allowance of 1490 is equaling most poorest African countries. Isn't it horrible…
