I don't know that particular device; but, there is a preference to chest strap HRM and it should record hear rate data continuously. Sound like a pretty high burn rate to me......

Going into a Jeans store with my wife and coming out with size 33 jeans! ( I have some 42s in the closet, YIKES)

Fabulous! Congratulations and keep up the great work!

I would have some healthy snacks on hand. Even if you wolf them down during a "bathroom break" you should be able to keep up a similar eating pattern, I would think. Otherwise. I would merely shift some of the snack items into break fast, lunch and a snack right after work. Good luck!

If I didn't start my day with exercise, I probably would do it. I drag myself out of bed, drink 1/2 cup of coffee and head out on my bike ride. I do it almost automatically now. I currently do a 13.5 mile loop that has some hills while listening to Tunein radio on my iphone. I use a Polar heart rate monitor with a GPS to…

I have reviewed this study in detail on several occasions. The fact that diets do poorly "in the wild" is an empiric fact. That is not a reason to disparage the study. The issue with caloric assessment using self reports is a limitation of essentially all real world studies of any size and duration where participants are…

I'm saying that this is a real world active control trial of the diets. (the A to Z trial educated the participants in each arm according to the tenents of the diet in it's published form i.e. Atkin, Zone,etc.) This was a test of what real people did trying to follow the diets they were assigned in their own homes. They…

Thanks for the chuckle! You know the truth, so we shouldn't be misled by the facts? This was a real world study using the same methods of data collection in each group and published in one of the most widely read and respected medical journals in the world. Paticipants were randomly assigned to multiple intervention diets.…

A to Z http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17341711 DIOgenese http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21105792 In the A to Z trial there was no significant difference in the caloric consumption in any of the 4 diet groups at any time point in the study More importantly, this was a real world application of the diets. Not people…

Actually, look no further than the A to Z study published March 7, 2007 in JAMA (297:269) There were no significant difference in caloric consumption between the 4 diet groups at any time point in the study and only at the two month follow-up was the Low carb group even the lowest mean consumer of calories. Now we don't…

Looks good to me! And congrats on the losses! You will definitely get plenty of lustful looks!. If you are comfortable, I say ROCK IT!. If not, just realize you are making great progress and WILL be comfortable soon. Have fun either way!

There is mounting evidence from controlled trials to refute this blanket statement. I suggest you read the A to Z diet study publish in JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association" in February of this year and the European "Diogenes" study published in the New England Journal Of Medicine on November 25, 2010 as…

I ride 12 miles most morning before work and it takes me about 50 minutes. I think you pace is not too bad. I use my HRM to make sure I am working hard enough. That might be a solution for you in pacing yourself. I honestly don't know about the feeling the road thing. I generally fell the roads in my hands and bottom as I…

I would invest in a HRM to track actual burn during your aerobic activity and I would not credit your strength training with significant burn. I would also MEASURE everything that passes your lips to be sure of your actually caloric intake. Despite all the pronouncements to the contrary, the laws of thermodynamics are…
-
Quite frankly, I don't see that you are doing a lowcarb diet. Perhaps uoushould adopt a specific plan and follow it!
-
Chocolate protein shakes (low sugar varieties) and the Jello Temptations Mousses are also good chocolate fixes without huge caloric loads.
-
Marvelous! Good luck on this new phase!
-
Excellante! You are going great. Keep it up!

I force a black cat, wearing a lucky rabbits foot, to pass under a ladder every Friday the 13th. So far it is working perfectly!:wink: Your mileage will vary Seriously. Stick to a healthy diet with a reasonable caloric deficit and exercise. If / when a "plateau" develops analyze the situation, mix up your routine and…

One way to diffuse her comments that you don't need to lose weight is to attribute the need to your doctor. "yeah, my doctor says I am not at at health weight and that I need to be at least 8 lbs lighter and preferably 20 lbs. I personally would not go out of my weigh to encounter this women. Additionally, I would not let…

There is nothing inherently wrong with weighing yourself each day. It is how you respond to the weights that cause the problem. If you understand that substantial variation occur on a daily basis and you don't let it freak you out, it's fine.

Congratulations on your loss! And love the suit. Keep up the great work!

I know this may sound unsympathetic, but you CAN squeeze exercise into your day. You just have to make it a priority. Get up 20 minutes earlier and do a fitness DVD. Make fitness a family affair with the kids. Have them help Mommy with her exercise. As you get fitter you will feel better and feel more rested from your…

I really don't understand posts like these. Get some nut. 2 ounces will be 350-400 calories depending on the nut you choose. There is no one who couldn't add 2 ounces of nuts to their diet, barring allergy, etc. 2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter are 200 calories as well. In general, such a low calorie diet is unsustainable…

You need to realize that personal preferences and social norms will play a significant role in whether a particular eating style is successful for an individual. The bottom line is that energy balance is what matters in weight loss. It truly is calories in vs calories out. With that being said, the low carbohydrate…

Thanks for your support. :flowerforyou: I guess I wasn't quite clear in my post. When I referred to preferential use of ketones for the brain I was discussing preferential as opposed to other tissues. Hasselbalch, SG; Knudsen, GM; Jakobsen, J; Hageman, LP; Holm, S; Paulson, OB (1994). "Brain metabolism during short-term…

Also remember that the estimates from the HRM are for exercise only. They aren't accurate for low level normal day activity. That's what your baseline estimates from MFP are for.
