    im 35 & recently went to have a heart scan as i have had open heart surgery 3 times in my life this was a heart condition from birth, but when i went for my heart scan they have recently introduced by seimens a brand new scan machine, seimens say that generally depending on age the txt book BPM should be anything between 60 & 70 BPM so ur not low by any means,
    how are you finding cutting down ur callories & using MFP ? i have found cutting down on the fat intake is much better & you see results more :heart:

    70BPM is NOT that low by the way. A normal resting heart rate could be anywhere from 60 to 100. I am a student nurse, this is the first thing I got taught.

    Also, a HRM is not a accurate device to calculate TDEE. I use a fitbit for that and youd be surprised at how much you really burn. Also "starving" yourself is not a great thing to do, its a wonder you are losing weight. Also saying you dont starve yourself is wrong because you burn about 400 on a "lazy day", you know you have to at least eat some of that back to be at a healthy deficit? :noway:

    70 BPM for a lady between 30 and 40 is good but not below average. Mine ranges between 58 and 64 which for 33 is below average. If you were 84 years old and your BPM was 70, that would be low!
