I would agree with everyone else and trust the Polar HRM most...

Very well written and I understand all the concepts but I don't think Im doing something right. I think my confusion still lies in my BMR and how many calories i should be eating and what type of food combinations. I have set my diary like Lucia and have been making myself eat more often and incorporating breaks but not…

I would still call it depression... your sad about or with your circumstances...

Great and informative post by both of you! I have learned a lot in the last 2 weeks. Now to adapt, learn, experiment and tweek it to fit me!

I love it, my husband bought one for me for Valentines day (OK well I picked everything out and he made the purchase so I don't know if that counts or not) BUT I have a bracelet and it only has 3 beads on it. One letter for each of my kids first name. The plan was for each holiday that he and my mother in law would buy me…

Great comments everyone! Thanks so much. So many things made sense in different ways. I mean, I know that self control comes from within but all the different views made me see some things differently.

I watched this and then joined the group on Facebook and shared on my wall. What a great story, it brought tears to my eyes. I feel so weak and lame compared to him...

I took the fit test on Saturday and i swear my legs are still a little sore. My plan is to go home from work and immediately put my exercise clothes on then head to the basement for my first real attempt at it TODAY! Do I would love to join your thread!

I've tried weight watchers several times and always seem to be hungry all the time and can't stick with it. I've had more success just using MFP and since it's free that helps too. The last 2 weight watcher classes I tried I wasn't real thrilled with the instructors either.

I don't know why more people didn't comment here, usually this is where you find your first friends! Oh well, grab some of mine!

you are such an accountant, thinking in number sLOL! great post, I like the way you calculate it!

You can do anything you set your mind to, this journey is a tough one but it sounds like you are fully aware of that. Be prepared to be happy with your progress but be prepared to be frustrated when it gets tough. When that happens that is what we are here for. Help you get through the plateaus and rejoice with all the…

So proud of you! for some reason I can never see the pics when people post them, but since your my friend I've seen your transition! So glad I met you here, You rock BRU!

I have worked in this department for 18 years and…

bump for later, the scales doens't make me cry but is aggrevating at times...

Very exciting and inspiring! Keep up the great work and you can brag here all you want!!!!:happy:

Great post, eating healthier is hard... I like fruits but have had to make myself eat more veggies. I don' know why I don't like them, it's funny since they are so good for us... Wonder what it is about carbs that make us love them so much...

great info, thanks for posting!

That is amazing! I really want to try it but I have committment issues LOL! I know that i wouldn't stick with it (yet) but Im working toward it! You look beautiful!

Your story sounds alot like mine! Can't say weight is falling off me, but I think Im doing well! You have done GREAT! The chocolate is hard, I don't eat it hardly anymore either. If I start I can't stop so I just dont start...

Great post MEL! And you did have the pics in. I don't understand how to do that either. If I ever post pics I sure hope someone can show me how! You really are an inspiration! Thanks for all the encouragement you have given me these last 3 months! You are the BOMB.COM!!!!! :wink:
