    45-50. It used to be over 90! Of course that was when I was 200 lbs, smoked 2 packs a day and was a committed couch potato.

    High 40's, I think that's too low, I'm going to speak to my doc about it. It's not like I'm an Olympic athlete or anything....

    Probably not too low, if you are doing lots of cardio. Mine is in the upper 40's as well. Not a competitive athlete, but I do run quite a bit.

    I actually wore my HRM to work today, just out of curiosity. It's been down around 58 while I sit at my computer, and if I get up to walk around, it bounces up to the 90's, and then settles back down again.

    55-60 bpm the last time I checked. However, I am due to check it again soon. From what I understand, my method for checking is rather unscientific, I just look at the HRM just as I am about to set out for a workout and it usually reads 55-60 bpm. You are supposed to check it after sitting still and doing nothing for 5 minutes (which is hard to do with two active kids, lol). I want to check it soon because I really should readjust my HRM so that I am getting more accurate burn measurements. I could also use the number to more accurately calculate TDEE.

    The last couple times I've checked my RHR has been around 100bpm and my BP has been 138/80...One of the big reasons behind my big push to lose weight...I refuse to be put on BP meds!

    Mine used to hover around the 140s before exercise, then when I would work out I felt dizzy and light headed. My HR was going over 200. I went to my doctor who put me on a beta blocker and now resting it is around 60-85, when I work out it gets around 130. MUCH better.

    When I smoked 2 packs a day, it was 68 bpm and blood pressure 120/80. Now, a year after quitting and losing 76 lbs, it's 52 bpm and the blood pressure is 100/65. I asked the doc if I was even clinically alive, lol.
