Interval Training and Calorie Calculating
Hey guys, I was wondering while calculating my calories burned during Insanity if I should be including rest time as well in the "duration." The only reason I ask is because every rest I take my heart rate is near 172, so my body is still pumping but I'm not using muscle. Thanks for taking the time! Andrew Side note: I've…

Azpb - At it again
Hey guys. I currently weight about 250, and I need to drop below 200. I have been in the military for about 5 years and they have been lenient with me but it's time to take charge. I have lost over 100lbs by myself before so I know I can do it, but I am looking for people I can chat wit daily to help keep me on track. I am…

Pork Tenderloin
So a staple in our pantry is pork tenderloin. The problem with pork tenderloin is that the only thing I know how to do with is rub some rosemary on it and let it cook. A man can live on packaged food from now until judgment day with enough rosemary. Regardless, I am hoping someone has new idea's on what I can do to make…

O herro
I've been on MFP for quite a while, then hit about 140 days logged, then I have taken about a 2-3 month hiatus due to my birthday, vacation, excuses, and more. I've went from 292 to 176, back to 195ish where I am at now. I am in the National Guard, and will be starting ROTC this fall (SMP), so I need to dial it in so I am…

How to fit in C25k and HIIT
Just wanted some input before I make the jump. My work is currently hosting a "wellness" challenge for c25k so I figured I'd sign up, and maybe win hah. Currently I do HIIT 4 times a week for 45 minutes. It's a pretty high speed lift heavy *kitten* workout. I am just wondering what would be the best way to work C25k in…

The dreaded scale.
Just wanted to post a quick note mainly so that new people could see (as well as some part way into their effort like me). Monday is (or was) my official weigh in day every week. This Monday I was really hoping to get below 200, which would put me less than 20 lbs from my goal weight. So there I was in my bathroom, I took…

Ah snap, below my sodium goal for the day
So, I have this issue where I love bacon, and I also have a tendency to make canned soup after work, because I only have about an hour until I go workout, and it's quick and light. Today I changed it up, and it's the first time I've seen green in my sodium. Just putting it out there. I'm awesome. Good night

I went through it and realized I walk approximately a 2 mile circle 3-4 times a day. I also do HIIT training 4 times a week (Mon/Wed Cardio, Tues/Thurs Strength). Now I have my activity level set at…

Any advice on my diary?
Hey, So i've been going strong for a few days now and it's going great. I am logging and weighing all of my food, and I am doing HIIT training 4 days a week (2 str, 2 cardio). I walk about 5 miles at work 5 days a week (security on a 2 square mile campus). I don't log the exercise as I am not too concerned about it, I…

Tomorrow is my official start date.
Just introducing myself! Pretty excited about finally getting back on a program. I used MFP briefly in the past but never really took it on.
