For those of you using heart rate monitors, don't forget to update your user settings and recalibrate your HRM as you lose weight. I forgot and the weight was 20 lbs off, have to believe that I wasn't getting an accurate reading...

Thanks for the reminder. I dont have a hrm but i think we sometimes forget that as we lose weight we dont burn the same amount of cals when we work out. Thanks again for the reminder.0

Oh thanks for the reminder! I didn't even think about that.0

I purposefully set mine for for 20 pounds less than I currently weigh--that way, I don't have to worry about subtracting BMR calories from the total. Since we've never been able to figure out if the HRM's account for BMR calories or not, I thought I'd hedge my bets and just set mine for a lower weight and then don't have to do math each time because I HATE math!0
