I was taking 2 blood sugar pills, and a Victoza shot. 100% because of weight and not exercising. It was BS and I put a stop to it.

I use the Polar H7 Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate Sensor and it syncs with my iPhone (or Android) to record my entire workout. Then it uploads to the polar website where I can compare and analyze the data. In the app you can set your max heart rate, and change it to % mode so you can chase whatever % you want!

Some things you'll end up measuring volume, some you'll do weight. For instance when you make the oatmeal, it should be easy to use a cup or half cup. When you want to know a chicken breast, you'd weight it.

Well, weight loss is more about the diet than exercise so stay in a calorie deficit and you'll continue to lose weight. What exercises you can do depends on how bad the injury is, and what movements hurt.
-
Are you concerned with having to deal with the eating limitations for the rest of your life, after the weight loss is done?

3lbs is a great motivator in itself!

Damn that's awesome.

Don't need it. Think of all the healthy food you could buy with the money you'd blow on it. Or a gym membership.

I use brown rice because it has a lower glycemic index. I think I'll be reducing my rice intake and doing more beans though, since they have higher protein and an even lower GI.

Is it a stress test? I'd like to know the name so I can look it up.

Awesome progress.

Ok so from what I'm gathering here, my "red zone" entry point would be higher than the software suggests. That's fine, I can just workout how I have since I'm comfortable with it. But if the calorie burn is wrong (Based on avg heart rate or time, weight and age) then how the heck do I calculate it accurately enough…

My polar chest strap figures bpm. The polar software figures calories by age, weight, bpm, and time. I run the numbers through a NET calorie calculator and come up with about 750 most workouts. As far as the chest strap being accurate, I believe it. It's spot on worth the machine hang grips, and my two other bpm devices.…

For what its worth. I completely soak my shirt with sweat during this workout. And I'm breathing too hard to talk. Not gasping though. I just don't seem to get a lactic buildup in my legs that makes me want to stop.
-
My resting heart rate is 55-60 I believe. I'll double check that. My red zone is 90%+ based on my max heart rate from age calculation. I think I enter it at 169 BPM.

Nope. But I do see a guy with extra skin that needs to go away lol.

I just redid my goals and target and it said the new minimum for men is 1500 cals. Still 1200 for women.

Right, I have a desk job so I don't have an active lifestyle. All of my exercise is intentional, either the elliptical or my bowflex. I use a heart monitor for the calorie estimation. All of these suggestions are great, and reinforcing the idea that I definitely need to eat back my exercising calories.
-
Those asking about the NET 1200 a day, that's what MFP has told me with my stats and a -2lb weekly goal.
-
If you want to track calories get a heart rate monitor like Polar. I use the Polar Beat that works with my smartphones.

You don't gain calories through your lungs...

I workout until 4 miles, 40 minutes, 800 calories are met on my elliptical. My polar heart rate monitor does the cals and time, and the elliptical shows miles. The important part is picking something you enjoy, and keep up with. Also depends on what your goals are.
