Curious about calories burned at different fitness levels
I'm curious about something. I figured I'd give some background first, before asking my question. I've been running pretty much all my life. It used to be shorter distances like a mile or two. If I kept consistent, I'd get to 3 miles. It was always at a slower pace, over 10 minute miles. sometimes slightly under 10 if I…

Striiv Touch vs Fusion
Hello all, I want to try out one of the Striiv watches as they seem to fit my needs/wants. I'm just not sure on the difference between the Touch and Fusion other than the Fusion has extra bands.

How much can my time improve?
I have a 5k in 8 weeks that I'm hoping to get under 23:08 for. My last 5k I did it in 23:13, that was back in mid June 2014. I've been running but not pushing too hard. Right now I'm doing a 5k at a little under 25 minutes in just running on the treadmill with 1% grade. Think I can cut 2 minutes in 8 weeks? How can I go…

Success stories for stretched/saggy skin during weight loss
I'm curious on how anyone might have dealt with stretch marks and saggy skin on the weight loss journey? At one point in my life I had hit 230lbs. For the past couple years I've been able to maintain between 185-195 lbs fluxuating (sometimes you get busy and can't run, travelling for work, etc). Now that I'm setting a goal…

MFP Noob
Hello all, I signed up for MFP in 2011 while looking for a site to track calories, measurements, etc. For whatever reason I went with Livestrong.com. I think that the time they had a better database for food/fitness tracking, mobile tools, etc. I need to lose some more weight, and when checking out sites again, I figured…

More Goals
Hi all, I've never been all that skinny, but am working on losing weight. I know what My weight should be (first goal to 160, after I do that another 15-20 lbs to reach my 'ideal weight'). I'm curious as to what to expect for things like pant/jean/shirt sizes. I'm just shy of 5'7" (5' 6 and 3/4 if we're being exact) I'm…
