Thanks for the chart Felisha! Have fun in NYC!

Hoping next week will show a loss again.... It's so frustrating this lose/gain cycle I seem to be on....

Well done to everyone!

ACK! I just realized I missed the weigh in! I didn't lose anyway, but I will weigh this week. Sorry!

This week for me, is taking one day at a time and winning. Win the calorie count and sweat it on the exercise.

princesschick- great advice on the last post....i think i will use the 100 calories for every 30 min cardio......i have always thought that the machines and MFp were too generous with the calories but did not know what to do about it....a HRM is on my wish list......along with a bike to ride on the road, new shoes for the gym etc....lol. How can i enter that on the exercise page when MFP automatically puts in a number??
Have a great time Falisha! i would love to be going anywhere!!!

Thanks Falisha this is so fantastic!

Falisha13

Have a favour to ask of you all... Those who have a HRM what do you use? What do you Recommend? I was looking at a Polar A5 that is available on eBay for like $45 as a buy now price which seemed pretty good to me but I wanted to ask my challenge peeps Thanks Guys

bigmama65

Sorry Falisha don't know much about HRM...going to ask santa to buy one for me for xmas. I will take the advice on here also to write down for santa's list.

Thanks for the updated chart. Have fun on your trip. I have been MIA for a few days and just catching up now.

Great job losers. Keep fighting everyone.

HRMs - Polar is usually one of the best in terms of accuracy, calorie counting etc. I don't know anything specifically about the A5 (no longer on the website so I think it is a pretty old model?) I used to have an F6 (obsolete, now I think the current equals would be FT models) - they allow you to program your gender, height/weight, max and resting HR. Then, your calorie counting is pretty accurate. Note that it only counts calories when you are logging an "activity". If you want all-day monitoring, I think a BodyBugg-type would be better suited.

Because I run a lot, I upgraded to the RS300 about 2 yrs ago - this has lots of extra features that I love but really not necessary for general fitness.

Biggest thing is to make sure that the chest strap battery is good. The A5 model is obsolete too - check to see what chest straps it is compatible with. New straps can run $40 and up... my original strap lasted ~ 18 months, then I upgraded to the strap that has user-replaceable batteries.

I have used the Polar one before and it's really good the only problem is that when the battery dies you have to mail the watch out ot get the battery replaced, can't just go to a watch store and get one. Right now I use the New Balance one for women- bought it at Target. Has a black band and a white watch. The watch is a little smaller and more feminine looking, I have been very pleased with it. Hope this helps!

Can i get in on this?? !!
