I just got my polar Ft60, The calorie burn is not accurate on the machines at the Gym or MFP. I also know that I havent figure out how to set mine up 100%, but Im learning... You can do without one, if you realize that all the tools you use overstate the calories you burn. With that in mind you can just adjust your intake…

I must be way off - I measure every 2 months - my switch to every other week since my weight loss has stalled a bit

well I have my 2 - both preserved and cleaned... not sure what I will do with them. I have a daughter, who knows if she will ever want anything to do with them

Do you think you can throw it in the crockpot and let it cook?

Well done MR & MRS!!!!

Turkey breast sandwich on natures own 40 cal bread with spinach leaves, green peppers, and spicy mustard, Pringles 70 cal chips, apple = 351 calories

You can do this........I have a co-worker who started the same time as I did. She is older than me and you. She has lost 22lbs in 4 months. She said she noticed that with age on her now (compared to just 5 years ago) metabolism is low and it takes a lot to make the needle move. As long as you are dedicated and make it a…

you need to do both! I do cardio 6/7 days a week and weights 2/3 times. You need to tone those muscles and work burning the fat off so when its gone you have nice lean muscles to show

you are doing great - look fabulous and all - keep it up!

You are going so great!! You look wonderful! - what app did you use?

How awesome is that!!! You progress and "stick to it" is a great motivation!!!

Usually when I weight lift or take body pump. I don't add them in. I use that as "Extra" calories burned for variances. Weight lighting will help boost the metabolism. I can tell I get hungry faster and must remember to eat more lean protein when I do my weight lifting for the week. I took December off mostly cause of…

People butcher my daughter's name and its not HARD! its Hallie - like Callie with a H - they call her Haliegh all the time!

I have a few MFP That I look at their diaries more, some are generic posting trying to reach out to build a connection. Once we do then I will view the diary and give feedback based on what they eat...even asking for recipes and product links..

Thanks for the article link Riley! Sounds like all of you are on the same page. Use the HRM calories and always give yourself the best workout you can do that day, ignoring zones.

I am not too worried about calories - so I can eat them back....makes me wonder why machines are so far off and why manufactures can't it closer to actual. Some people are religious with the calories and numbers and eating it back... My first trainer told to me always to leave a buffer for the variance between food and…

WONDERFUL!!!!

Dont give up - it could be muscle gain - water weight.... just keep moving - you got this.

When it finally hit me, that I needed to loose 80 lbs and it was no ones fault but my own. I cried hard. My knees are shot, I did that to myself, now I will have to live with it. That was in May - fast forward to September and I decided to get serious - move forward to today - 30 LBS down!!!! What did I do.... First I…

I think the first thing you will notice is that - the things you eat have more calories and fat in it then you thought. As you see what you eat, you should make better choices. If it touches your lips log it! Drink lots of water, and exercise - even it is walking 3/4 times a week!! Enjoy!

Sorry no solutions :( But I do wish you luck!! You seem to be doing the right thing by understanding your limits and fixing them!!

Im here daily!!! Check out my profile and see if you think we are compatible - and send a friend request!

Hoe wonderful!! I was so excited when I did that - now I'm in the 80s - I'm counting down by 10s! Keep up the good work!

AWESOME!!

I agree - that is me!! You look fabulous!!! I think I dont look much different. But I feel better, I pick parts of my body that I see and change in that I love. Like my calves and ankles!!! My belly is smaller and my face. Dont see much in the thighs or arms. I bet you can find something you like!!! Keep up the good work!!

I'm a God loving individual. BUT you should not have it forced on you. I work in a small office that is 50/50 on the is there a God or not, we do real well in not making it an issue. Its all about respect. If she is referring to your life.. tell her straight out - that you would rather her keep her opinions about your…

I was 218 and a size 20 (I'm 5'2") I haven't seen size 12 is a LOONG time but I getting there (size 16). I think the manufacturers are in kahootz! Just like your weight - the size is number - you look great, feel great, and love the clothes!! Enjoy!!!!

Stay motivated - small changes - create goals and reach them - strive to do more at each level.!!! You can do this!!! Drink plenty of water, low sodium, good protein!

Trying to do all at once will not be easy...... Pick your first goal - set a time limit and DO IT, after each level you reach keep moving forward and you will done before you know it . Zumba is a fast favorite - find a girlfriend and head to a class. Buy a DVD and do it at home. I like Body Pump at the Y - makes weight…
