Recommendation/Differences between the Garmin Vivomove HR Sport or Premium
Hi all! I have used a fitbit for years and have had no issues with it but looking for a change. I am an active runner (I run a 5k 3 times a week and am beginning to train for a 10k). I also weight lift a couple days a week. I was looking into Garmin and liked the look and the price of the Garmin Vivomove HR as it is about…

Some curiosity about deadlifts
Hi all! I am mostly curious about your experience with deadlifts. I began doing them for the first time a few months ago using 20lbs dumbbells. After getting more comfortable with the form and seeking a trail with a trainer to ensure I was doing them correctly, I began using a bar and am now doing 115lbs. I am doing 2 sets…

Rest Days
So I am off work for the summer so I have a TON of free time. It has been great for my workouts as I have plenty of spare time and I find I have been going to the gym way more than normal just for something to do. But I am struggling with rest days. I know I need to take them but I find I feel lazy on those days (which…

Weight Loss seems to have stalled
Hi all! My weight loss has been super slow lately and seems to have stopped all together lately. I try not to pay much attention to the scale but I do usually weigh in weekly to keep track. I lost 35lbs between September 2018 until Jan 2019. I stopped trying and maintained where I was until about March. In March I stopped…

Newish vegetarian
I stopped eating meat about 4 months ago. I spent the first month overloading on carbs because I went in a bit unprepared and ended up gaining 13lbs in the first couple of months. I have been working on introducing more protein rich foods and the carb cravings have ceased but looking for some more advice or meal ideas from…

Reviews for the Fitbit Versa?
Thinking of buying a Fitbit Versa but its quite expensive. I have a HR Monitor watch that I only wear when I workout and I have an old fitbit zip but I hate having to buy a new battery every couple months. Just looking to reviews.. I worry it is too big and bulky.

Are there any non-chocolate protein bars that taste good?
I don't like chocolate... (I know, crazy). I also am not a huge fan of peanut butter (unless its the real thing).. But I find most protein bars are centered around those flavours, and the odd ones that aren't taste horrible. Any delicious suggestions?

Weight imputed into HRM
So I have an odd question about the weight that is imputed into my HRM. Awhile back my dog thought it would fun to steal my HRM and put a few bites into it. It still worked fine except for the "down" button. Which wasn't an issue because I could use the "up" button and it would eventually bring me back to the beginning -…

Any tips for a beginner runner?
Hi all, I have been slowly playing with the idea of becoming a long distance runner. I started working out last year and running sporadically. I would do intervals of 2-4 minutes running and 2 minutes walking. Needless to say, I wasn't a runner. Since then I have done a 5km race, and two 8km obstacle races. I've recently…

NSV - down a pant size but zero lbs lost.
I had bought these very comfortable and cheap black dress pants from Walmart about 3 months ago. They were starting to fall apart (cheap), so I decided that I should grab another pair. When I went in, I just grabbed the same pair in the same size 12 without trying them on. When I got home and put them on, I realized they…

Dumbbell Size
This might be a silly question. I have been working out for a year. In terms of lifting weights with dumbbells, I started barely being able to use 10lb weights (for bicep curls, hammer curls, etc). I am now at the point where I can comfortably use 25lb dumbbells (30lbs for triceps, woo). But I have a friend who was at the…

Half Assing my Weight Loss Lately.
For the last few months I have been having some major struggles staying on track. Since last May, I have lost 49lbs, 2 pant sizes and a shirt size. I have been going through the motions... working out 3+ times a week. I tend to have 2-3 really good eating days a week but then somewhere along the way I screw up and overeat…

Bada** Dash
Hi all! I am looking into doing the bada** dash obstacle race in the fall! Has anyone done this before? I am in semi-decent shape. I work out (cardio and resistance training) 3-6 days a week and have lost 36lbs so far. I hope to be near my goal weight (another 50+)lbs by then. Any suggestions for training?

HRM vs. Fitbit
I am curious if a fitbit can be used in replace of a HRM. My birthday is coming up and am planning to ask for one of them for my birthday but which will be more beneficial for weight loss? Thoughts, opinions?

Fitbit.. worth the cost?
Hi all. I must have been living under a rock because I just figured out what fitbit was this morning. I would see it randomly on here being mentioned but often over looked it. I went on their website and checked out some cool videos. Am seriously considering buying one. I was wondering what you guys thought about it. Is it…

Advice to show my friend
Hi all, I was just hoping to show some comments to my friend that will help her while shes struggling. She is 23, 5'6-5'7 and weighs 190lbs. She started counting calories and working out 2-3 times a week a couple months ago. But has not lost any weight. When I asked how much she was eating, she told me about 1000-1200…

Wii games for high calorie burns
Hey all, I got a WII last year for Christmas and other than the odd Mario Kart game, it doesn't get much use. I thought I could use that for mini-forms of workouts with something like "Just Dance". But I was curious to what other games I could get which would be high energy or just to get me moving?

Ugh, need motivation
Hey all, I was doing really well for a few weeks but just totally fell off last week - had a horrible week. Zero workouts, Zero weigh ins and zero days of counting calories. I just binged like crazy. I am planning to get back on hardcore tomorrow morning and going to the gym tonight and in the morning. But I just need some…

So now I am sitting at 213.8 (started at 217). Am really just looking to meet some new people and get some motivation. I am a 23 year old student just looking to…
