I think that if it's 30 mins or more after your meal, your body has gotten most of the nutrition from the food already, so I'd leave it logged. That sounds really no fun... Hope your condition improves!

Ok. Today was the first day I wore my bodymedia and went to bootcamp. It reports that I burned 592 calories for 1 hour of bootcamp. I intend to track it for a couple of weeks and I will report back with an average. Hope that's helpful!

My bootcamp is different each day and there are several circuits of several exercises, it would be pretty tedious to log each one unfortunately. But this is a helpful idea, I didn't think of that. I just created a cardiovascular exercise in "my exercises" and input 500 calories for 60 min workout since my coach advised to…

I just ordered a bodymedia armband. I found it on Amazon for $149 (on their website they're $249). I should get it this weekend, so I'll report back after I've used it a couple of days. =)

My bootcamp coach said it burns between 500-1000 calories and recommended I log it as 500. I am planning to get a monitor in a week or two... I'll let you know when I get some solid numbers?

Today, I ran a mile without stopping! For the first time since probably high school. ha! =)

You might as well also get used to using the term potty...FOREVER.... my girls are 16 & 14, and not only do I NEVER get peace & quiet in the bathroom (we only have 1) between the girls and my cat, but I always refer to the bathroom as potty. Even to other adults, as in, "I'll be right back, I'm going to the potty"...…

I make a green tea mint combo. Steep 2 bags of mint tea with 1 bag of green tea in about 6 cups boiling water. Then pour into a 1 gallon pitcher and add water to fill. Delicious, refreshing and you don't need any sweetener. My kids love it too.

I use a minimizer under a sports bra. I found a really good sports bra at Academy, complete with underwire, it was of course pricey, and I still have to use either a minimizer under, or one of those compression tanks with built in bra shelf on top of.

I put 4-5 chicken breasts into my crockpot, about 2 cups of chicken broth, half a jar of Herdez natural salsa, and chili powder, cumin, and some fresh garlic, about 2 cloves finely chopped. About an hour before it is finished, I chop red onions into the pot. Shred the chicken for tacos. Or make a "taco salad" Black beans,…

Good luck!

^Agreed. And this was my point. Still HFCS in here... Got the right pic.

Oops... No big deal:

Here's the nutrition info: Looks like a lot of high fructose corn syrup. I'd avoid them... The ingredient list is so over involved... eh. I buy these: Only 50 calories for 1 individual piece. Delish! to be fair, here's the nutrition info for the chocolate: INGREDIENTS: BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE LIQUOR, UNBLEACHED…

My arms are half sleeved already, and I have lost some weight and inches and they aren't different at all. I wouldn't worry about it, I think the factor is probably how elastic your skin is since some people report extra skin, but it seems to me if the weight is gradually coming off and you drink plenty of water, you…

^same here!

I grew up with a pitcher of sweet tea in my fridge everyday and love, love, love sweet tea. I ALWAYS log it when I do drink it because then, I think, eh, do I really need it. One thing I do when I'm at my parents, tea still always in the fridge, is pour a glass half tea, half water. still sweet tea taste, less calories. At…

No problem! :smile:

How do you determine how much lean muscle mass you carry? I'm still new to all of this!

^ this... I'm too thick built to ever be very thin which is fine for me.

I'm on cloud 9... ha ha... This is the first time I have actually gotten results consistently, and I'm already at a lower weight than I have been in almost 15 years. I'm happy and loving the bootcamp. =)

6 lbs down today! Since last weigh in 2 weeks ago. I am doing a fitness bootcamp 5-6 days a week, for an hour. It's a combination of cardio, plyometrics and some light hand weight exercises. Also down 2 inches on my waist and hips and 3 inches on my chest! =)

I brew my green tea with mint tea. I put 2 green tea bags and 1 mint tea bag in my coffee pot and 6 cups of water. Pour it in my pitcher and fill with water (1 gal pitcher). No sweeteners needed! Nice and refreshing. :drinker:
