It gives you a snapshot at what capacity your heart is working. At a low, healthy or too harsh of a range for each individual.

Thank you for your replies and no thank you to the negativity. I was asked to do the basic elimination diet for 21 days. It is a basic diet to start therefore I was looking for some ideas/recipes/advice. Nothing more, nothing less. I was hoping for a response from people that have done this to get their input, not negative…

thanks for your replies! good to know about the value of a chest strap. i was also not aware you could just buy the chest strap without having to buy a new watch- good to know! for some reason i thought they had to go to gether for sinc reasons. maybe i will try replacing the strap first- especially if its only a matter of…

you are such an inspiration to many many of us here Tina. Thanks for all u do for us also. You have come a long way, and i am glad we were able to do this somewhat together. funny, my gyno called my skinny yesterday too, i was like, what? me? who? its hard, but i try to take the compliments and run, which is easier than it…

Unbelievable. I am in awwwwwww of you. YOU GO GIRL!

my philosophy is is if i am truely hungry, stomach growling, etc., i am not going to deprive myself of food. generally if i am hungry at night i will pour myself a bowl of chocolate cheerios with skim milk and that does the trick! i think that if your stomach is trying to send u a signal, listen to it. now if its your…

the one good thing about thanksgiving is all the veggies! you can indulge with all of that without feeling a lot of guilt! and make a veggie tray or shrimp cocktail to bring, that way it will benefit you and be appreciated by your guests! theres ways to do it, don't be too hard on yourself, little baby steps help. for…

Now that i lost the weight (still some more to go) i am off my antidepressants for good! Thos positive hormones are really really helping from all the exercise!!!! Plus my dr told me to start vitamin d, and that has worked wonders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just a little something to look forward to as you lose wt!

You go sexy momma! Must feel great! You go girl! And keep those size 10's, looks like you may need them sometime soon girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very inspirational............

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!! that watch sucks! i bought it, it was completely inaccurate, i returned it the next day, ya, i burned 100 caloires after doing 1 hr of complete cardio, i don't think so! go for the polar, i hear they are great! ask santa for one, i may!

get frozen strawberries/berries girl! they are just as good!!!!!!!!!!!! let us know how it went!

well, this does not have anything to do with bananas but i love her vanilla cream protein powder, i put frozen fruit in it, nonfat yogurt or even just water, ice, the powder and crytal light raspberry ice and blend it, its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i want a little more i add the yogurt. yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you go with those sexy *kitten* me heels timbo! feels good doesn't it!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

Love it timbo!!!! I notice it with my rings and bracelets. I told myself that since my grandmother's wedding ring was falling off my ring finger i could not put it back onto my middle finger until i lost some more wt, i lost some more wt, put it on, and nwt its tough getting off but thats ok, it was my incentive to keep it…

don't know how but i lost .8lbs. very happy with that considering all the candy i ate this week, but i did exercise a lot and drank my water which for me i think is key! slow but steady wins the race! vickie- you rock sista! that is amazing! keep it up girl! elloradannon- i know what u mean, i plateaued and was ok with it…

oh timbo i understand where your coming from. my hubby got rid of the candy for me, well, he says its gone but i have a feeling i could find it in the house if i looked, but i won't. can't have those temptations in my house or i suffer. did the elliptical for an hr last night to make up for all the bad eating, but i don't…

you guys are tooo frickin funny!!!!!!!!!!! i have to agree, since i have started working out i am much more happier and have more patience, tolerance, and overall just feel soo much mentally better, everyone has noticed it.............goodbye to my antidepressants i was once on, plus vitamin D really really helps!!!!!!!!!!

i need ones with lots of arch support, any advice????
