  • Great post. Thank you for sharing.
  • "[/quote] The question then becomes, WHO exactly was she targeting? The obese? The slightly overweight? The person with 5 pounds to lose? Should someone who is only a few pounds overweight be subjected to scrutiny? Additionally, if "fit mom" is going to put herself in the public eye with a statement (photo) like that, she…
  • Thank you for the more scientific Reply and thorough explanation. I was wondering how the HRM would be able to show Calories burned, but yes, it's all about technology. I am going to get myself one asap. Speaking of your heart rate, I am recovering from heart surgery to correct WPW (an extra node by the main node) and then…
  • 8 oz. of soymilk with 1 1/2 scoop of Whey Vanilla Protein powder, and 5 slices of lunch meat turkey w/2 table spoons of hummus on it.
  • Thank you. How does the HRM tell you the calories burned? Does it calculate it for you?
  • It's interesting you would bring up depression. I took a "Temperament and Personality Traits" evaluation (for my own curiousity) recently and it came back that I was a very positive person, with a Go Getter attitude. And, I agree with this. So, I don't think that's what could be causing it. I am thinking it is rooted in my…
  • Yes, I am using vanilla shakes with a high protein content mixed with soymilk. It is not as if I don't eat - I am just tired of the whole "I have to eat, but can't eat too much so now I have to eat this but not that." It's a hassle and it has always been too little or too much food. I think we all got here because we have…
  • And, here I thought I would get just one or two responses, but this is great! So, how does the HRM give an accurate "calorie burned" stat? The elliptical let's met monitor my heart rate too (in fact, I have to monitor it some way due to my heart surgery).
  • I do not input my weight to the elliptical but perhaps I should do that tonight and see what happens. That way I will know the comparison. The machine monitors my heart rate, so I am good in that department. My heart condition had my heart rate at 140-180 at all times and I had surgery for this. Now, my heart rate is at…
  • My health. I was healthy and fairly fit, and then I had a heart problem, needed surgery and I thought I was going to die. It was a bad cycle - my heart didn't like the exercise, and I had a hard time recovering. I gained a lot of weight back and I know that exercise and prudent eating habits is the key to be in control of…
  • "A day without you is like a year without rain."
  • Thank you. This will take care of my desktop and app.
  • I am so impressed. You are brave to put up the before picture and it helps the rest of us. This is inspiring!
  • Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
  • Good for you that you are starting back up. I posted on another thread about a heart defect I had surgery for and in the process gained a lot of weight. They say to exercise but it is not easy when the heart is not coping with it. But, I am finding myself doing okay now with the physical activity. I have also been up and…
