I use a HRM, but my sister uses some kind of weightlifting chart, and it is really close to the same. I will try to find out more about it and post it here.

Thanks Roni! Those are some great ideas. I do use light mayo, but I think I just assumed that everyone does. My husband made me LOL the other night, as he storms in the kitchen and says, "Is there any food around here to eat anymore, other than light and wheat?" "Can you buy some plain white bread, some white potatoes, and…

Alright! We are heading down the wire! I am about to get really focused! Who's gonna join me? Last week was on of celebrations! My son, home from the Navy, and my birthday! But, these celebrations don't give me a reason to steer off the path, because I have a long way to go. So, this week's goals are: 1) Don't eat after…

You can do it! Have you considered trying to stick to Michi's ladder as a way of healthy eating? Here is a link to it, if you don't already know about it: http://www.decidetostayfit.com/michis-ladder.pdf Good Luck!

Hello Pumpers & Shredders! I had a wonderful birthday yesterday! Unfortunately, I went well-over my calories, as I have several days this week, with celebrating this or that! So, I have sat down and created a plan, with the help of a book called, "Escape Your Weight." The calories may be a bit high for some of you, but it…

I found this article while I was researching for answers to eating exercise calories or not: http://www.thatsfit.com/2010/03/17/total-vs-net-calories-does-it-matter/ After reading this, I am going to try to adjust the types of foods that I eat, for 90% of the time. Does anyone find this interesting?

Congratulations! Thanks for your post! You have inspired me to work really hard for the next two months to join you at "Onederland!" Save me a ride! :happy:

I am interested in the comparison also. I have a sportline (watch type). However, I believe it is pretty accurate once I subtract my resting calories from it.

Fantastic job! Congrats!

My goals for this week: 1. Add a cardio workout to each pump workout (because I'm on spring break:smile: ) 2. Have a Shakeology each day (hard to do when I'm working because I am sort of like a traveling teacher) 3. Try to get more fruits and veggies in each day (like at least 5 servings) ...and of course,

Speechless! I am so happy for you! :drinker:

Congratulations for such a wonderful commitment! Truly an inspiration! :flowerforyou:

That bathing suit is waiting for you and for me too! That's my summer goal! How did you know. Just take a look at what ronitabur wrote, and you will keep a positive outlook. You are correct in that we may not see all of our success on the scale each week. Your goals sound great! So, hang in there. Let's see how this week…

You are so motivating! It is great to hear your words of wisdom. Experience on this fitness journey will make us all wiser. I know now to celebrate the losses and be proud of my efforts if there are little to none. Wonderful goals for this week. Sounds like you have a cheat day planned. :flowerforyou:

I agree! I feel absolutely fabulous when I finish with each of these workouts! I think it's the music! You have made some very sensible goals. You can do it!

I feel the same way! We have a wonderful group of supporting pals!

Happy Monday Everyone! I have posted my weigh-in on the spreadsheet, and my measurements will follow shortly. I feel very successful this week, as I am 40-days into the challenge, and I can see and feel changes! I am excited to see everyone's progress...will post our chart here tomorrow, so post your weight before…

I agree!

I wouldn't trade you for the world!

OK, I'm sold! I'm a tryin' this weekend! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing such a wonderful, inspiring, and motivating experience!

lk27, You have set fabulous goals for this week. You CAN do it! A few things you may want to keep an eye on if you are not moving are: 1. water intake; are you drinking at least 8 glasses 2. sodium intake; are the majority of your foods coming from a bag or package? and 3. sugar intake: are your sugar grams going over in…
