    Thank you all.. according to all sites I should be eating 1200 calories.. seem like so little and I result in being hungry even with high protein intake. so I usually try to NET out at 1200 after exercise.. perhaps that is why I am having difficulty losing.. but eating only 1200 c total does not usually give me enough energy for my cardio and weight classes that I take in the evenings.

    1200?? That seems a bit unnatural. If you are having difficulty with body fat or whatever your goals may be, perhaps it's time to look at where your calories come from, instead of worrying about how much you get....

    Heart rate monitors only work well for steady state cardio, not for strength training
