Looking for an app
Anyone use an app to log strength training for android? Want one that I can easily look and see what I did the time before. For example did chest press today 8-6-4-2-1. Want to be able to look in say 2 weeks what weight I used to see if I improved.

Fitbit ?
Today was my first day with my fitbit flex at the gym. I did the elliptical for 60 minutes averaging 5.2 mph and the elliptical showed I burned 741 calories. When I logged on to MFP it showed per fitbit I did almost 1100 calories in that hour. So do I leave it at 1100 since fitbit is supposedly accurate or do I edit it to…

losing with only cardio
Well I found out the "pop" in my wrist while doing reverse curls was me tearing my TFCC (cartilage in wrist) So now in a brace waiting for MRI to see how mad the tear it is. So no weights for me at least in right hand. So should I up my cardio? Most weight training I was doing HIIT. I can still do lower body.

I find it hard not to say "only"
Did my 2 week BCA today and was down 1.9 lbs body weight, 6 lbs body fat, lean muscle was up .5. I find it hard not to say only 1.9 lbs. The body fat loss is great and I increased lean muscle but in my head for losing weight the most important number to me is scale weight. To put in the time of journaling, measuring food,…

Making cauliflower pizza for guys at work
Thought it was pretty cool that guys asked me to make this for dinner. Shows that they are trying to support me as well as eat better themselves. Told them I would start cooking all dinners on shift if they like. Said they would give it a try as long as I didn't get crazy.

Explain fat burning HR vs. Cardio HR
So for last few month been doing elliptical 30-60 minutes a day and high intensity. 600-700 calories burned. Well last BCA was losing weight but not much fat. Mostly water weight and lean muscle. So was told to get in the fat burning zone which I have done past week but burn half the calories. In my mind it makes more…

What happened to the dropping lbs?
So for 12 weeks I have averaged 4-6 lbs loss each week. I was on a 1400 net calorie diet consisting of high protein/low carb. I did not exercise much the first 8 weeks. Past 4 weeks really started hitting the gym hard so my wellness doctor increased my net intake to 1800. I have been doing that for 7 days. I weigh every…

cardio endurance not much better?
So about 6 weeks ago I started doing couch-2-5k on the elliptical. I have horrible shin splints and the treadmill for running is not my friend. Anyway I don't feel like my cardio endurance is getting that much better or is as far as it maybe should be using the elliptical. I know it is better than week 1 day 1 cause that…

Daily Check in: 2/17/2014
Sometimes I find just getting on the boards and seeing everyone else on the boards and reading how others are doing is motivational and supportive. Another site I used to use did this and it was nice to connect with those who checked in daily. Shared their ups and downs from day past or what obstacles lie ahead for the…

Pre-workout food
What does everyone eat before they go workout? I was just doing a protein shake but now that I have been working out for a while and work out longer and harder I get hungry, some times dizzy or nauseous about 3/4 through workout. I know it is because I haven't got anything left in the tank. Now I am trying to add some…

Help explain the numbers
Ok these numbers are not specific to me just using them as an example. My daily intake is supposed to be 1800 calories. Now working out I burn 500 calories so I am actually netting 1300 calories a day. So people say that is not enough so I need to eat what I burn?? This is where I don't understand. Why eat what I burn?…
