Garmin Forerunner 920XT Help Please?
I just bought a 920XT and I'm having difficulty navigating through everything. The manual isn't much help and the online videos aren't helping me much, either. If someone has a 920XT and is willing to help, will you please PM me? Thank you SO much!

Second Hand Smoke Troubles
I was exposed to second hand smoke recently (thank you very much, family member... GRRRRRR). Every time this happens to me I swear it gets in my nasal passage and I smell the smoke for 3-7 days afterwards. Also, I swear it constricts my chest and it negatively affects my workouts for 2-3 days (especially cycling and…

Inexpensive Fitness Tracker
While I still believe that HRM's are better than fitness trackers, there's no denying fitness tracker's popularity and smartphone functionality. For those looking for a budget friendly fitness tracker, I ran across a deal today. Amazon is selling a new fitness tracker for $15.00 (normal price $79.99). This is a new product…

An Ounce Of Prevention...
I was going to post this in my BL team's weekly chat, but I thought I would post it here so that everyone could possibly benefit. I'll do my best to keep this short (but this is a big problem for me). For those of us who exercise outside - whether it be walking, running, cycling, whatever please consider taking the…

Walking/Jogging/Running concerns
I've been looking at a lot of folk's diaries and I'm impressed and concerned all at the same time. You people (you know who you are) are really working hard and I'm SO proud of you! I've seen some people really ramp up their walking volume and speed and really don't know what to think. On one hand, it's VERY inspiring!…

Baby Steps
I'll make this VERY short for a change! :-) As of this morning, I am no longer in the Morbidly Obese category! This is just a baby step, but it feels pretty dang good! My next BMI step is of course to get out of Obese Class 1 which is 31 pounds away. I still can't see results in the mirror yet (besides my face), but it's…

Bargain time for running/walking shoes
I should have posted this earlier, but better late than never. Just like how car manufacturers come out with new models of cars every year, shoe companies do the same thing. If you're in the market for new running shoes or want to get a good deal, this is the time to buy them. For example, my favorite shoe is the Brooks…

When should you measure your food?
Since I got my food scale, I've used it for every meal that I've had. This has helped tremendously as a large part of my struggles with my weight have been portion control. But the timing of WHEN to measure has me puzzled and I'm looking for help. As you know, some food shrinks while it cooks (i.e. meats/fish) while some…

Does this bother you too?
I just can’t help it. Every day I look at the main message board and there’s always someone whining about how they’re SO discouraged and they don’t know what to do. Being a kind soul, I make the mistake of clicking on the message and find out the real story. It seems that most of the time when someone’s whining, it’s…

Self-Shame
I was wondering if anyone else has a problem with shame. I'm SO ashamed of my body that I refuse to walk in the neighborhood. I can only imagine what my neighbors think. Just a few years back, I was always cycling or running in the neighborhood - now look at me... Even though I enjoy the summer SO much, I'm doing all my…

Cycling Safety
Anita mentioned recently that she's really getting in to her cycling, and that's AWESOME! I sent her a personal message about cycling "stuff", but I wanted to share a few things with the group that I feel very strongly about. I LOVE cycling myself, but I was also in a pretty nasty accident a few years ago. I don't know if…

MFP Cardio Calories Burned FYI
Hello everyone. Today I got my heart rate monitor back from being serviced and I'm SO excited! When I started logging my cardio workouts on MFP I had a suspicion that I wasn't getting enough "credit" for my work. Well, my suspicions were true. Long story short, on my 70 minute walk today (with a little jogging thrown in) I…
