    Right on, MissKim! If you start overthinking it you'll drive yourself crazy!

    Right now I am have great results keeping my heart rate at between 120 & 125 when I work out (I'm a 45 yr old woman), both when on the treadmilll and strength training. I have lost 15 lbs (started at 199, I'm 5'3") and 1 clothing size since Feb 1st. I am eating whatever MFP says I should (for total calories) every day, except Saturdays when I eat whatever I want, but still track it.

    Unless you're an elite or competitive athlete, keep it simple - burn more calories than you take in and you'll lose weight.
