Congrats on your FT4 - love, love, love mine! It's amazing and so much fun to watch your heart rate and calories burned!!!! On weekends that I'm doing more than basic housework and mom stuff, I will wear it all day just to see what activities burn the most. The FT4 is really all I need. My only suggestion is to buy an…

A little ways from Pittsburgh, PA

I have the pink FT4 also and I love it... it's like my new best friend, next to MFP ... hahaha. Also got it at bodytronics.

Fantastic job!!! I love coasters, too, and part of my motivation was being able to fit comfortably in the seats again when we take the kids to Kings Island in June!

100 cal klondikes or skinny cow ice cream treats work for me - sometimes even a half to satisfy my craving. they'e only 110-140 cals, though.

I am on day 5 of level 2 and I love it. Haven't done measuring or pictures, but my size 12 jeans I just bought are already loose. I started No More Trouble Zones last night & it was awesome! I'm only doing the 30DS 4 days a week though. I have zumba 2 or 3 days, /walking/jogging every Sunday and usually take one day off.

I made these over the weekend but left out the chocolate chips and they were yummy! They were better the second and third day than right out of the oven. Make sure you use cooking spray even in the liners! I used paper liners and foil liners and they stuck to both. I only got 16 muffins. I counted calories on my…

Around $1-$2 is my guess. Most days it's 4 egg whites with ground pepper cooked in some cooking spray so no cals & put into a plain soft tortilla. The cost varies depending on whether I buy cage free eggs & healthier flax/grain tortilla's or stick with the small flour tortilla shell. For me the challange of eating…

Those are great.. thanks for providing me with laughter on this hectic work day!

I wear my HRM doing 30 day shred and log it as cardio so I can track my calories. It doesn't come out to the same calories each time, but close. I adjust the minutes to reflect the most accurate calories my HRM shows I burned.

Congrats on your success - you look great!!

Awesome job!! I may have to add Insanity to try after my 30DS!! Keep up the great work!

IGNORE THE DOCTOR'S SCALE: This is what the nurse there told me the last time I visited: Their scales are SUPPOSED to be calibrated regularly, but they do not do it - she told me she couldn't even remember the last time it was done. That's why we typically see a different number than at home. When I was really upset (and…

bump great info explained very well if you take the time to read it!

Every few days I'll have a Rockstar Xdurance or Rockstar Recovery - the zero carb/10 calorie ones

Coke zero and I count iceberg lettuce and celery as my "zeros"

Thanks for posting this thread!!! As for jeans, my favorite are Apple Bottom stretch jeans and there is no pun intended- lol! I knew I wasn't a pear shape, but didn't realize I WAS an apple until reading this. I've always had small legs and no butt or thighs, big boobs and all my fat I gained has always been under my boobs…

I'm only 5'1" and while I still have my stomach and that is my main problem, I have pretty much no thighs and my legs have always been the smallest part about me. My favorites are Apple Bottom stretch skinny jeans (which aren't really skinny like some are), but they are hard to find. I just bought a pair of Seven stretch…

Not looking at the nutrition info real intensively, I like the Carb Conscious Supreme protein peanut butter pretzel twist. Clif bars make me gag in the flavors I have tried.

I love your story - so, so inspiring and just the motivation I needed today!!! You look fantastic !!!!

OH!!!! I need to leave work NOW and go home to make these... I'm having a very hard time fighting a chocolate urge today and the 20 plain M&M's didn't quite make it. Too bad I don't think my boss will consider my need to make these awesome looking cupcakes as a legitimate reason to leave work early!!

Yep, Bodytronics had the best price. $61.70 for the FT4 - it was the only place I could even find the pretty pink one...and I LOVE it! I wear it all the time. It's my new best friend - and its amazing to see how close/how far your actual calories burned is compared to what MFP, other sites, or your equipment says you're…

Love the tattoo,.. and congratulations!!!

We eat pizza about twice a week, I just no longer eat 4 pieces and no more extra cheese with sausage, pepperoni, onion..hubby still eats that, but for I like to coat a skillet with olive oil spray, put in a whole wheat/whole grain tortilla in the pan, put on about 3 Tsp of pizza sauce, a pinch of shredded parmasen cheese,…

Hi.. I'm sorry to read you find the strap uncomfortable. I'm a 40DD/DDD and do not have any problems with the chest strap - I have the Polar FT4. I either wear the transmitter in the front between my boobs or on my left side(same side I wear the watch on), with my sports bra over it so that it doesn't move. I use it for…

absolutely incredible! what a great job! congrats!!

In no particular order, these are the ones that I think of right away, although I don't ever sit and just watch tv - we watch these when we're laying in bed trying to go to sleep...If it weren't for OnDemand, I'd never see a tv show!

I had already lost 10 lbs before starting MFP which I ignored so my weight loss doesn't reflect that. I began January 2010 on MFP and consider that my "start date".

YES! You can definitely see a difference! Yeah!! Today will be my Day 3 of level 2 of 30DS... The only measurement I took was in my waist and it was 2" less after 7 days of Level 1. Thanks for posting the pics - I haven't even taken any :( Continued success to you!

I wouldn't be too concerned about that message that "they were under X amount of calories". I sometimes hit the "completed for the day" during the day - before I'm actually done - just to see what it says.
