  • It's official. My HRM is not working correctly. I wet the strap every time, tighten it every time, etc. Today while I was working out, it read 326 for part of my workout and 0 for a good portion. I think I need a new strap. I will try my hubby's tomorrow.
  • Absolutely. Here are a few examples: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2, 28 minutes 190 calories burned, JM 30 DS Level 3, 28 minutes 189, JM Body Rev Cardio 1, 26 minutes 192 Calories. I am not in shape, I have been working out 6 days per week for the past 2 months. I feel great and am working hard but do not burn as…
  • I always wear a HRM because of this very thing. MFP way overestimates in comparison to my actual burn. I have been doing Jillian Michaels workouts so 30 Day Shred and Body Revolution which is mostly weights. I feel like my burn is pretty accurate but some of my friends burn 2 times the calories I do. I need to stop…
  • Mine will not work without proper placement and the straps being wet. My husband thinks my calories burned are accurate based on my HR during my workout but man it's frustrating. I want a huge calorie burn too!! Haha. I'm jealous!!
  • I am starting first thing tomorrow morning. I will probably make a few of her recipes but I am not much of a cook. Quick and easy for me. I will continue to track every piece of food I eat and plan to stay within my daily calories. I usually eat back my exercise calories. How about you?
  • I am starting tomorrow if anyone is interested in joining me. Finished 30 Day Shred this morning. Excited to take on the next 90 days, bring it Jillian!!
  • 2 days left. I am still only down 1 lb. I guess that's what happens when you eat out like 4 times this week!! I wish I would get my shiz together in the eating department. I need some low calorie meal ideas. Any thoughts?
  • Thanks for the advice. I did see a decrease in inches over a weeks time and plan to continue to measure. I typically only weigh myself once per week but was feeling a bit lighter this morning and hoping for some decrease in lbs. Props to everyone doing this program, I wake up making excuses every morning not to get my…
  • I am on day 13 level 2 now. With my HRM, I have been anywhere between 165-205 for 28 minutes.
  • Easiest recipe ever!! Everyone at my office uses this now. *4 or 5 Chicken Breasts *Large can of green enchilada sauce *Can of Green Chilis Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5. Shred chicken and put over rice or tortillas with cheese. YUM.
  • I am on day 5 of the program. I would love some support. I will send each of you a friend request and check out your progress daily. I have been doing Turbo Jam for years but on a regular basis for about 2.5 months. I love Chalene. So excited to hear how everyone does on the program. I use a Polar FT7 HRM for my workouts.…
  • MFP way overestimates calories especially for women. I do Turbo Jam and it estimates 680+ calories for a 45 minute workout and my HRM says I burn around 320 calories. I was going off of the MFP estimates and eating back my calories and did not loose anything. I workout at a higher than moderate pace for the entire time and…
  • Yes, I wet the contact strips. The only thing I can think is if it wasn't tight enough or if when I was sweating to death it slipped a few times.
  • Yes. I was logging my workouts under "kickboxing (including TurboJam)" and had even started deducting a few hundred calories from that estimate because I wanted to error on the side of lower calories. So yesterday I did 45 minutes and it calculated 680 calories and I only logged 400. I was blown away when it only…
