I workout hard, on my own and with a personal trainer, deny myself the super yummy bad foods and I routinely see "-.5". I know I'm getting toned, but working that hard for a half pound is hardly motivating. I'm trying to get back in shape after having Breast Cancer, and man I would love Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868970587354285708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-12913933513570789012014-04-16T13:04:23.315-04:002014-04-16T13:04:23.315-04:00Thanks for the help!

Given your feedback about the ActiveLink, I think I'll continue saving my money. I'd much rather use the calorie burn provided by Runmeter to do an estimation. I don't eat all of my Activity Points, but I just have this brain cramp when it comes to wanting thingsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058167210002350438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-20364732682863188172014-04-16T12:18:47.158-04:002014-04-16T12:18:47.158-04:00I use eTools, but I do like to keep a written jour...I use eTools, but I do like to keep a written journal as well. It's just easier to flip through for meal ideas or to see what I was eating during a good weight loss week.

Something you could do, which I think is the most accurate, is to divide the calories burned by 80, and then round up to the nearest whole number, and that's your activity points earned. The ActiveLink will give you more AP's than the eTools will; Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-81144563188719033612014-04-16T12:15:00.400-04:002014-04-16T12:15:00.400-04:00Hmmm... have you tried using your activity points?...Hmmm... have you tried using your activity points? I know it seems counterproductive, but I lose the most when I eat more. I also tend to spend a huge chunk of my points on one thing, so that may have something to do with it, too. Like this week, after my long run, I might get a brownie that's 30-ish points! I would try experimenting with eating more, and just see what happens.Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-84839607136698235842014-04-16T12:11:10.164-04:002014-04-16T12:11:10.164-04:00I trained last year for the Monroe half until I sp...I trained last year for the Monroe half until I sprained my ankle which then resulted in a pinched nerve in my back from walking incorrectly.

I've yet to find a way to count them that seems accurate. Everyone keeps recommending I get the Active Link, but it just seems like a lot of money to spend for something I don't really want AND that requires a Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058167210002350438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-26167179460836370902014-04-16T08:45:18.591-04:002014-04-16T08:45:18.591-04:00I know you eat your activity points and you mainta...I know you eat your activity points and you maintain or lose. HOW??? This past week I got 71 activity points and ate pretty well ( I used some weekly points but no activity points) and as per usual I gained. The weeks I do not get a lot of activity I lose.

We were in Northern Indiana for 12 days in December/January and I literally CRIED the morning of our flight when I figured out it was snowing like crazy and we would be stuck. Actual tears.
