I'm intrigued, definitely going to give these a go! Thank you for sharing.

Hi there! What Polar model do you have? I have an Polar F7 and it calculates the heart rate,calories burned and other key metrics. Perhaps it's the model you have or you just haven't figured out that "special" little button yet!

I agree with SHBoss, Tabata is an amazing workout when done properly. It is really a serious butt kicker, but I've gotten excellent results by incorporating this into my routing 2-3 times a week! If what you are doing is working for you - GREAT - you know your body best. But this is a good suggestion if you are looking to…

There are some great suggestions here, thank you for all who shared. Here is one more to think about - try brushing your teeth for about 3-5 minutes. Often times once your teeth are clean, you don't want to get them dirty again by eating, not to mention it doesn't taste that great either. I struggle with eating at night…

I LOVE Subway, I must say! That said, I am definitely aware of the sodium issue. Anytime you have processed meats, your sodium is already going to be high - so strike one there! Then you add the different breads in and they have varying degree of sodium as well - strike two! Finally, the soup - yeah there is going to be…

Sounds good to have with a sandwich on a cold day! Thank you.

Bump... too yummy!

I will throw one more in for you. Not sure if you have a Nutrishop near you, but Pro5 from Nutrishop is great. They have several flavors and they taste pretty dang decent! Try this if you can.

I'm not familiar with the specific model you purchased; however, that seems a little high on the calorie burn. Is this a continuous heart rate monitor? I know the height and weight do make a difference, so maybe that is why it seems higher than what I would normally see on my HRM. I too work out very hard during my cardio…

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing.

Yummy! Bump for later!

I find that my HRM and the machine are generally in sync within a beat or two. However, the calories burned on my HRM can be signficantly different from the machine I am on reflects. I would trust what the HRM says, as it is specifically programmed for your specifications, while the gym machine is set to a specific formula…

I have been doing Tabata for at least 6 months now and have found it to be amazing. I added this to an already pretty intense workout regime and found that it gave me that "next level" of fitness I was looking to achieve. Whether you are looking to lose weight or just up your game, Tabata is an excellent component to add…

I would normally not try to make these myself; however, you've inspired me to give it a try. They sounds great as I LOVE PB and bananas. Thank you for sharing.

I make pizza with Flatout's often. Thank you for sharing this variation, I will certainly give it a try!

Some great suggestion here from other posters. I agree, it's better to spend a little more calories on food that is going to be useful fuel for your body. I would suggested sprouted grain over just a plan multi-grain. Trader Joe's does carry the Ezekial brand; but they also carry their own brand of sprouted grains. I like…

This is awesome, congratulations! Most of the battle to losing weight is what goes on in our heads. You are obviously learning to master how you think about food and how much you actually "need" to fuel your body. Way to go - keep up the great work!

I think what you are looking for is a heart rate monitor. There are many different kinds with varying price ranges. Whatever you decide, I would suggest getting a heart rate monitor that provides for continuous heart rate. It may cost a bit more, but it will be more accurate. There are many brands - Polar and Garmin tend…

Oh, I love my pizza too - In fact I am a self proclaimed - pizza connoisseur! LOL I have several recipes for a "healthier pizza" that I use. For one of my pizza's I like to use the whole wheat pizza crust from Trader Joe's. (Not sure if you have one by you or not?) I split the dough in two and add about 3 ounces of low fat…

We used to have a Tropical Smoothie by us, but it closed down. I think that there are some good items at Tropical Smoothie, but you have to be mindful of what you are ordering. Any type of sauce or a bunch of cheese I always try to stay away from in a wrap. If your lucky enough to have an Extreme Pita by you, try them out.…

If you want to ensure you are getting the most accurate calorie count, my suggestion would be to weigh/measure everything out before you cook it. This way you have the best idea how much you are getting when you measure out your portion size. If not measured, rice can add up in calories pretty quick! Like the other folks…

If I'm undestanding your question right, I don't believe it will do what you are asking without you resetting it. I don't have my GymBoss right in front of me; however, based on how I use it, it does not allow you to have two completely different interval sets. For instance, I use mine for Tabata very often, so I do 20-30…

I think you did the right thing, but picking one that only has peanuts for ingredients! The other peanut butters Skippy, Peter Pan, etc. all have a bunch of other junk in them. While they taste good, they are not "just" peanut butter. It took me a while to get used to eating all natural peanut butter, but I LOVE it now and…

You said "quick calorie burning", so I don't think of an elliptical or treadmill with that description. For at least me, I think of something way more high impact, like HIIT or Tabata - something where you use several large muscle groups at once. Going through a few protocols of these can burn more calories in 20 minutes…

I absolutely LOVE Subway.. I am so guilty. Everyone else is right here.. Subway.com has all of the calories and other nutritional information available. My one caution is the amount of sodium in processed lunch meats. If you are getting the vegetarian there is not issue, but if you are getting any type of lunch meat, just…

A world without pizza is one I don't want to live in.. it is my absolute favorite! I make pizza at home very often and will definitely be trying this recipe! Thank you for sharing.

I think it is so sweet that you are so worried about how he might respond. So refreshing in a world where people are insensitive. So, thank you for being thoughtful. That said, surely as a grown man your boss realizes that fish die. He should be thankful that the fish lived for as long as it did - five years is quite a…

I absolutely LOVE working out in the morning! I get up Monday thru Thursday and go to the gym before work. Monday I run, but Tuesday thru Thursday I have a class I go to. I also have a class on Saturday mornings that I attend. The fact that I go to classes that I enjoy also helps motivate me to go in the morning. I was…

I am motivated to exercise because it reduces my stress level tremendously! I also love to feel my body working - it is an amazing machine. I love the results I get and most of all - I love the way it makes me feel. I work out in the morning, the first thing I do. It gets me in the right frame of mind, gives me all kinds…

I love a "traditional" salad; however, when I feel like adding something additional I like to add various types of bean. Black beans are my favorite, but I have also added white bean and garbanzo beans. They add a new kind of twist, plus you get extra protein and fiber!! Oh.. maybe try a new salad dressing, that might help…
