    Give her some time. Why don't we ask again in a few months when we're back from Bermuda.

    Hmmm. Do you log calories you burn everytime you cry? I bet they really add up.

    Should get a HRM to check...


    Maybe typing in all caps lock will show how much you hate people telling you what to do... Even though clearly, you like telling people what to do as well.


    lolz.

    Why are you logging anything at all if you are only counting it as 1 calorie? If you want your friends to know you did a workout why not just post that you did a workout?

    Maybe people are using MFP to.... *gasp* log and keep track of their exercise... I know crazy huh?

    There are definitely some MFPisms. One is the HRM and after several years I got one but I am still not following any MFPism that don't help me. Unfortunately to date the HRM hasn't helped except that I was able to do a comparison between it, MFP and my Zip Fitbit. You know what? MFP did rather well and that has been what I had used up until then. After that I have just been using what my zip syncs for me and using MFP for all non zip exercise. Mostly due to convenience. I think using TDEE and putting a calorie for exercise is a brillant approach as long as you log extra when you exercise well beyond the exercise you used to figure your TDEE. Sometimes I am sad that my Zip sync doesn't post a long run or walk so I do. Anyway I have lost more before buying my HRM than since. Like you I did not have the money and wasn't willing to spend my precious birthday and Christmas gifts on an HRM or Zip until last Christmas. I was then and I am happy with that decision but until then I would just have resented it. The one time I really wanted to use it was to make sure I was exercising in the right percentage of my target heart rate. What I found out is the 85% of my Target Heart Rate was no where near the estimate for my age. So basically I shouldn't have been walking and doing my interval running that I have been doing for the last few years if I am to believe the estimate and the HRM. I could just stand for an hour and achieve it. I haven't used it since I do what I did that day and I exercise as vigorously as possible and am still be able to talk. Do I recommend an HRM - yes but it is really not that simple. It is no magic pill. This process takes some effort and research and intelligence and personilizing it to your body. If you are getting good nutrition, getting exercise and losing slowly and sanely then don't worry.
