Yes, I take it to mean 30 meters down (which I would never do anyway, lol). Swimming laps and playing with your kids; you'll be fine. As far as the other question about difference in calories and minutes. I noticed a difference too. I always start my "pedometer" at the beginning of my work out, stop at the end and get my…

Also...you can take off the elasticized part of the strap and wash it with your bras. The portion that goes under your chest can be cleaned with Chlorox wipes or the like.

Also, mine says it is water resistant to 30meters.

I started out with a "Sportline" (without a strap) that I got at a sporting good store for $100.00. It does a lot more than I really need for it to. I was trying to stay away from the strap kind because I thought it woul be uncomfortable. A friend of mine upgraded her HRM and sold me her old one, a Polar F4. I LOVE it!!!!…

That is AWESOME and a BIG victory! Celebrate by buying a new outifit! My heaviest was 275 and I was 226 when I started MFP. My first mini goal is to get to 199. When I hit I just might cry because I haven't been under 200 since 1994; the year I got married. Congratulations on your fantastic achievement :-)

This same thing happened to me and my doc said my body hit a platau and started to go into shut down mode. Once I started to let it have a few more calories I started losing weight again. The trick was just not to go too far and to know when to stop. If I work out twice a day (which I do 3 times a week) instead of just…

Hi...I'm a diabetic and can shed a little light here (I think) :-) Typically you subtract the amount of fiber from the carbs and that gives you a "net carb count". The more fiber the better. The fiber and whole grains enter slowly into the bloodstream and will spike less. I recommend visiting a nutritionist. My doc sent me…

I just tried Thomas' Bagel Thins which are 110 calories and 24 carbs for an entire one. Another great product is Nickles Light Multigrain Bread which has 70 cals and 17 carbs for TWO slices! Makes a nice sandwich with the egg whites, turkey bacon and you could throw on some cheese or humus to zip it up. I hate to admit it…

sugar free chocolate pudding yogurt covered raisins Lays light chips (made with olean) carrots (with a little ranch to dip them in) Skinny Cow ice cream sandwichs and bars I'm with ya, going through it right now :-)

Could be the time of day and what you've done so far in the day. Never weigh after a workout as your muscles are primed and heavy. I weigh in with my doctor every Wednesday morning. I wear the same thing each time so I know there can be no flucuation due to what I have on. Also, I don't weigh myself any other time than…

Both will help you to feel more full. The more fiber you have in your system, the more your body works to break it down and it aides in regulation. Protein takes longer for your body to break down so it helps to make you feel full and it also aides in lean muscle mass; which is a glorious thing to replace fat with too! :-)…

It really depends on what your goals are...trying to maintain or trying to lose? My doc has me on 1200 cals a day and whatever I burn in exericse does NOT earn me any extra cals to eat; unless I work out above my normal calorie burn.

Scrambled egg whites are easy on the tummy and on your waistline. Feel better soon!

That is so awesome, congratulations! Think of how much fun you will have shopping for new cloths :-)
