Bumping for Saturday,
This being Thanksgiving weekend and mine and my husbands Birthday I'm scared but I have been going to the gym and eating good up to this point if I come out of this weekend with staying the same I will be happy!!!0 -
@brandywithrow- Wow! Thanksgiving AND 2 birthdays, LOTS of celebrations this week for you! All the best!0
-
Bumping this for reporting in tomorrow - I will be checking in early as I'm going to spend the weekend with my family - out for an early birthday dinner on Saturday and I WON'T be counting calories then and I WILL be having dessert
But that's OK, this week is looking good, I've made a real effort to avoid processed/added sugars this week and boy has the scale moved down! Official weigh in will be tomorrow, I just hope it looks as good as today.... I'm 0.1 kg away from my goal weight!0 -
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 The A5 model is obsolete too - check to see what chest straps it is compatible with.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 also looked into a Polar FT7 which seems like a good one, the only thing I worry about is how much I sweat that it will break while I am running & sweating.0 -
Thanks Falisha Have a great time in New York, it's so much fun! 0

Falisha, sweat is a good thing - you have to wet most of the straps in order to get good contact. With a fabric-type strap you need to run under a bit of water. For the hard plastic version you can dab a little water/spit on your fingers and rub on the contacts. No moisture = no HR reading.
You can just rinse the strap when you are done, else the salt in your sweat will build up over time & get a bit yucky.
edit: Straps are completely submersible/waterproof too - you can swim in them but sometimes I hear the HR transmission can be a bit tricky depending on the pool chemicals used.0 -
Well I didn't make my mini goal....but I did get the scale to shift in the right direction...rock on next week!
I am determined to do everything I can to get as close as possible to my final goal as I can by the end of this challenge. x

A great lose which I am really proud of, off to NYC tonight once my girlfriends get off work. Talk to you all in acouple of days.0 -
You are all doing such a great job! Keep it up!
I'm really struggling trying to balance it all right now (especially work) and keep my stress level from going through the roof. My weight seems to be stabilizing at the 127 mark and I am perfectly happy with that. I find that the closer I've gotten to my "goal" the less important the number on the scale actually is. It is all about how you feel. I'm really happy with all areas of my body (that I have control over) and right now I'm trying to get my brain to see myself in my "new body" instead of the one I lived in for the past 4 years. This has been quite a journey.
I'll post weight on Saturday (I have to take my monthly pictures and measurements too).0 -
Falisha that's a great loss, well done! Enjoy your girls weekend, I wish I could go to NYC for the weekend - but it take me all weekend just to get there!
I've been very good this week - cut out just about all added/processed sugars and the scale is reflecting that. I'll have some treats in the weekend then try the less-sugar thing again next week.

Back to the no loss this week I didnt meet my mini goal but thats ok. I see more muscle definition all the time so that is a plus. I also was under my calorie goal many times this week. due to the clean eating that I am doing so that may be part of the problem. You can sure eat a lot of food for few calories.

I made my first mini goal!!! It's coming off really slow, but it is coming OFF! Headed to Seattle to babysit my 7 month old grandson so will not be able to do my usual excercise this weekend. Hopefully he and I can get out for some walks between rain showers.
