Where do you loose it (for men)
When you start to loose it, do you have stage where nothing seems to happen yet your scale is moving in the right direction? what body parts do you notice are getting in better shape and is it true that the gut is the last thing to shrink? I'm wondering where the chin fat fits in that order. I'd love to have that reduce.…

How much do you move?
Is it 1 hour a day? or more? Do you know your metabolic level or know how to find out if has been damaged?

modest levels of sedation vs true hunger.
They say that as long as you don't trigger a hunger response your metabolism will obey the calories in and out. but at what point of the day when you say there is a 500,1000, or even higher that your body give you real hunger pains vs the it's safe to not eat anymore. When you are moderately of a caloric deficit what does…

heart-rate recovery time
I'm unfit, but been exercising every day to improve it. I tested my heart rate recovery time and it';s almost took 15 minutes for it to from my 140bbm from my cool down period to return to the resting heart rate of 92-95.. Does anyone have resources to tell me just how bad that is? And aerobic activity is the only thing…

Losing LMM, when to be concerned?
I'm approaching my first week goal and using a fat scale. At what point should I be concerned about muscle lost? Numerically I've lost about .5lb of muscle and lost 3.2lbs less than a week. I realize the fat scale isn't super accurate but I have to go on something. What things should I be looking at in terms of 'feeling'…

do you ignore 'fat burning zones'
there seems to be a lot of corrective postings about heart rate. it seems the going advice is to go as fast as you can as long as you can. I'm assuming up to excluding the stage where you start building lactic acid. Is this the advice you follow totally ignoring 'fat burning/arobic' zones.…

a Question with BMR (perhaps dumb)
I've been using a lot of measurement devices (bodymedia/polar loop/vivosmart) and they all seem to hover around the base BMR for myself. I am average build but haven't focused on my fitness level till now. Having closely tracked and beginning a focus on fitness my fat content is dropping considerably even though my diet…

anyone using a bodymedia device to measure metabolic rate.
I am working with a couple of friends who have Fibromyalgia and was wondering if anyone who has Fibromyalgia use the device to measure activity level and or metabolic level. I'm unsure if the condition slows your body down or the lack of movement is directly caused by the pain. Would you say that your metabolism is about…

checking across multiple activity tracker for calories
I guess I put too much into the science of temperature metrics but I can share the following. body media, polar loop, garmin vivosmart 2288, 2694, 2657 2839, 2495 , 2531 I think the loop and garmin use a simular algorisum in the accelerometer (I haven't got the polar with a heart strap yet but hope it will refine the…

some random dude that likes tech.
I've been trying to find a group that is interested in integrating technology monitor vitals. I"m not sure if this type of focus is welcomed in this group since not part of this course. I'm currently testing a garmin vivosmart, a polar loop and a bodymedia link and using myfitness pal and still working on integrating and…

45 starting my 'fitness'
I think I know a fair bit about weight maintenance and as I age my body doesn't naturally metabolize as it used to. Just 2 weeks ago I came with a really bad case of flu and couldn't sleep at all for 12 days . Coughing and wishing I was dead, I swore that I'll take care of my body. I don't have a lot to loose but I could…
