When you're looking at HRM, consider getting one with a chest strap. They are more accurate than a watch by itself.

I like my Polar F6. It's not very fancy but it does everything that I need it to do!

Awesome thread! Here are my goals... 1. I want to get to a healthy BMI (accomplished yesterday!) 2. I want to run & finish our city's half marathon 3. I want to feel comfortable in a bathing suit 4. I want to wear my size 6 jeans again 5. I want to eat less processed foods 6. I want to be a good example & teach my daughter…

I think this every time I watch the show. It almost makes me not want to watch it and is kind of turning me off to JM.

Bump!

I have no advice but am interested in hearing what others have to say, so... bump! :laugh:

I burn around 200 on both level 1 and 2.

For me, it is absolutely essential that I not let myself get too hungry. If I get super hungry then all my willpower and better judgment goes out the window. Making sure that I eat something every 2-3 hours really helps to keep me on track morning to night. Weighing my food and having healthy stuff around is also really…

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you! You have obviously worked very hard & made some great choices! Again... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome! :flowerforyou: As previous poster mentioned, don't go too far below 1200. It will do your efforts more harm than good.

I burn 156 doing the Meltdown. I love it! The first couple of times were pretty hard but now I look forward to it. Keep it up!!! :drinker:

I think you look gorgeous in it now! Good luck on your mission! :happy:

Tag! Thanks for the info!

Awesome!!!! I saw your post earlier tonight and went to Sears and ordered it. I just picked it up 15 minutes ago! I can't wait to try it out. I think I just motivated myself to do my workout tonight. :)

Sounds excellent!

Tag... I want to see what others have to say!

You're totally right! I'm always more energized after a workout.

Like others have already said, your body is already in starvation mode if you really are only consuming 400 calories a day. It would be helpful to seek the guidance of a dietician to help you develop a food plan that will fuel your body and get you on a healthy track.

Thanks for sharing!

Yes!!!! I couldn't figure it out, but you're right!

Welcome & good luck! There are some awesome people to reach out to for support in this community! :smile:

I just found this on MSN... thought it might help you. Warning: the girl is incredibly cheesy http://mindbodybalance.msn.com/?section=episodes&content=2&pillar=body&source=email

I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing that it is recommending 1200 calorie/day because anything less puts your body into "starvation" mode and actually hurts your weight loss. I would stick with the 1200/day.

Yummmm! I love jalapeno poppers. I'm definitely going to give this one a try!

Welcome!!! :smile: I have found this site to be very very helpful. If you stay honest with yourself (and your food log), take it one day at a time, and don't give up you will be successful! Good luck!!!

Hi! If you use all of the features of this site and are honest about calories and exercise you will get rid of the weight for good! Good luck!!!
