Muscle gain or fat gain?
I have been busting my but for the past 2 weeks working out and have gained 5lbs. I'm sure this is muscle, but this is such a huge DE-motivator! I want to give up!

I have tried it all and nothing helps. i don't know how much to eat, how much…

plateauing?
Is it true...one way to get through a weight loss plateau is eating whatever you want? (for one day that is).. It's supposed to throw off your body and kick it back into gear. Is this correct?

Heart Rate Monitor
Hi all. I am new to the site. Started P90x today . I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good heart rate monitor that is not super expensive. I have a watch one but it doesn't tell me calories burned and I am hearing the chest strap HRM's are better. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
