Hi guys...I did weigh yesterday, no loss for me...picked up 1.2 lbs in fact. Weighed in at 225. I'm not happy with it, but I'm just gonna keep plugging away...because I am happy with how I can't stop myself from going to the gym or walking or doing some kind of activity everyday. I feel really in tune with my body and feel…

Hi E, I have a Club Fitness membership, you could check and see if they have them in your area. I really like it and it doesn't break the bank. You can sign up for just one gym or pay a few extra dollars and go to any club in your area. They also have fitness trainers there in the gym and if at some point you decided you…

Hi all, Weighed in this morning at 223.8 so lost 1.4lbs this week. Was hoping for 2 but I'm happy with what I got considering Aunt Flow just left town. I will be shooting for 2lbs again nxt week. I'm in for the 15lbs by Halloween, starting from now so 208 by Halloween or lower. I hope everyone has a good weekend and a…

Hi all, Weighed in this morning at 225.2 so I'm down 6.8 lbs for the week and 3.8lbs since I started here at the end of June. Really happy after gaining and not losing any the past month. I've been working out 5-6 days a week the whole time and eating in moderation, nothing really out of the way. Only thing I did…

I have the same issues with the scale...I still use it at least once a week but I also measure myself because even if I don't lose pounds, inches are a better gauge to measure weight loss. It could be you are building muscle which weighs more but takes up less space than fat. So maybe you should start to monitor your…

I have a Sportsline S7 very basic counts calories burned 30 bucks from Walmart. Also had few more models that did more and cost a little more.

Hi, weighed in today at 232 :explode: 3lbs heavier than when I started in June....Goal weight is 150lb. 33lbs will get me below 200 which is my first major goal...

Hi all, I've been here for almost two months, gaining and losing the same 4lbs the whole time no matter how much I work out or how little I eat so needless to say I need some support because I am oh so close to throwing in the towel...I weighed in at 231 lbs today and would love to join the group and hear anything you all…

I have an SR12 that I got from Walmart for 30 but its bare basic...they had a few more models that did more that were in the range you want to pay. They keep them in the fitness area of the store. Hope this helps you!!

Thanks for all the help everyone!!

@ ejoh, yours sounds a lot more advanced than mine...I only had to put in age and sex. Its a sportline, I got it from Walmart.

No to the chest strap, wear it on the wrist and monitor every so often while exercising by touching finger to button on the wrist monitor. Are those as accurate as the chest strap? I worry because I don't want to eat the exercise calories if its not accurate.

I have been going to the gym 6 days a week and doing much better than I have in a long time with my eating and not losing a pound. Last week I looked at some of the newbie blogs that explained why you have to eat at least 1200 calories and your exercise calories. I figured out that I must be in starvation mode after so…
