    Hi Pickles and Rayman,

    I used to use the Biggest Loser site to track my calories. When my membership ended I swapped over to the Calorie King site but it's not as user friendly as this site seems to be.

    Looking forward to hearing how everyone is doing! :smile:

    According to my heart rate monitor I burned 546 calories today doing 30 minutes of Jillian Michael's "Ripped in 30" DVD. But according to MFP it should've only been about 340 calories.. So I'm really wondering if my HRM is accurate or not. But yeah.. =]

    I always go with what my HRM says because it is working on my Heart Rate whereas MFP is a guestimate!

    That's true. :) I just thought the numbers were quite different so I wasn't sure if I should trust the higher number. I've just been averaging between the two lately so I make sure i don't overestimate my calories burned. But maybe I should trust my HRM a little bit more. =]

    Today I definitely overdid it.

    I did Turbo Fire Hiit 15 and Hiit 20, Turbo Fire Sculpt 30, and a 60 minute soccer game (probably played about half).

    Total I burned close to 700 calories (though the soccer game was more intense than usual and I didn't wear the HRM during the game this time).

    I have some eating to do.

    Hi All,

    Weigh in today and I had a loss of 3.6kg. Not a real loss because my weigh in last week was after a big weekend of eating so it was most likely that and fluid retention. Anyway, I'm please with that loss.

    45 minutes on the treadmill at the gym today burnt 372 calories.

    I don't know.........I've done Kenpo X before, and I swear I burned more.........at least that's how my quads, hams, and calves were feeling afterwards.

    I used a hrm. I do sweat but I feel like some of the moves don't bring up my heart rate much like the slower kicks. Also I do turbo fire so I'm used to all the punches and then some. I kept looking at my watch to see and my hr was not that high for the most part.
