  • Thanks for the input. My loss was about 5 years ago. I have varied +/- 5 lbs over the years, but I stay pretty close to 120 most of the time.
  • Thanks, my friend! I do find that it is losing signal sometimes. Hadn't really considered that as a factor. As far as age, just working hard so I can rock a body like yours! ;)
  • Awwww.. Thanks and right back at ya! I'll check out the Cal Plus app. Can never have too many tools in the arsenal.
  • From one Polar F7 to a new Polar FT7. Old model was pretty old though, so maybe it was over estimating some. Thanks for the cleaning tip!
  • Damn it..... Having just turned 45 earlier this year, was trying to ignore age as a possible factor. :sad:
  • Guess I shouldn't complain. If this is true, it's a good problem to have!
  • Yep! 1 hour. Good to know that I'm not such an oddball after all!
  • Sorry, I'm kind of new to this posting stuff.... This is the question I was referring to.
  • Fair question.... I guess what I meant was that my diet and exercise have been pretty consistent for many years. I suppose you're right that some increase in fitness level is to be expected. Just not sure why the sudden change. Thinking the batteries might be good option. Using the FT7 and it is fairly new, so I don't…
  • I hear you! I am in the same boat and am desperate to get back to my healthy self. I think it may be time for a 'no excuses' intervention. Start small to build back up to where you were. Maybe just try to get to the gym 3xs/week for a few weeks and hopefully that will reignite that desire. The food issue is a tough one.…
  • Great question. I'm in the same boat and was also wondering if the Body Pump classes are enough, as that is all the strength training I do. However I do lift heavy in there and always leave exhausted! Hoping you continue to get great advice. I'll be keeping tabs on responses! Good luck!
  • Whitebalance: Thanks for the info! Sounds like you've found a nice "balance" :) Congrats on the return to running. I love it. There is nothing more cathartic than putting in the earbuds and heading out the door on a beautiful day. Have you looked into a couch to 5k program? It will get you to that 3.1 safely in about 8-10…
  • Ok, I just opened my diary for all to see. *Gulp* My name is Denise, fyi. I'm set at 1590 cals/day and I eat most, if not all of my exercise cals. I'm at the gym 3-4 times a week and love to run outside when the weather permits. I am mostly a "classes" kind of girl, but I enjoy BodyPump and lift fairly heavy in those…
  • Alright, so I sent a FR to hzlliz already with an email about me. After reading these posts, I feel like you all have your heads in the right place to do this maintenance thing right. So, here is my email to her. Please feel free to add me if you think we could help each other. I must admit that I'm not looking for a big…
  • Swimming and spin. Good luck!
  • Hi everyone! I am not new to MFP, but am new to the message boards. I would love to join your group as I fit right in with you all! I'm 44, 5''4" and 122 lbs. I look fine in my clothes and no one would ever know that I struggle with my weight. My body fat is somewhere around 27%. So, though I look thin, I have a…
  • The Jell-O pudding idea is genius!
