TRX... calories?
My pilates studio has begun offering TRX and I enjoy it as something to shake up my typical pilates routine. Yesterday I did a 55 minute class that is typically machine + TRX, but this time we only did TRX. I realize that TRX is more of a strength-training workout than cardio, but I am wondering how to track my calories…

Help with the math? (TDEE, BMR, etc.)
Hi all, I recently read this post http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 and figured I should get on track with more precise numbers of calories to consume based on my personal measurements.

Weigh-in... Daily? Weekly?

Subway?
I live in Japan, where yes, there is lots of delicious, healthy food to be had. But I live far from where I work and often stay downtown to exercise, so while waiting for Pilates class or to meet up with a friend for jogging, I have taken to eating Subway sandwiches for dinner. My city has opened two new Subway franchises…

Chained to desk
Hello all! This is my first post on the MFP forums ^^ I'm a 24 year old female and my job consists largely of sitting at my desk working on translations and proofreading, so I don't get to move around a lot during the day. I do drink a lot of tea, so I get up to refill my hot water or use the restroom, but otherwise, from…
