I have the FT7 and it's the highest reviewed/rated HRM I've found (I did a lot of research). Even the men's isn't that bulky. I take mine everytime I exercise

You make me want to be a better person.

In my defense, as I say this in my head but never aloud, it's difficult for me to eat my calories back without going way over everything else (check out my diary today and see). I get pretty disgusted with myself when I go over sodium

Last Friday was the first day I had my HRM so I tracked both lifting and running separately. For 21 minutes of heavy lifting (about 30 seconds rest in between sets) I burned 248 calories. (This is what my HRM read) I'm sure you're burning as much as MFP thinks and maybe even more!

Hello from NH to you too!

I'm a information security administrator/auditor for a corporate coffee company! I'm only an intern though... not that I'm complaining, my benefits are fantastic
-
Just do whatever is the closest to your exercise. When I run, I just do a variation of speeds so I just put in Run @ 5.2 mph and let it calculate for me. Strength training is just a broad guesstimate. As of recent, I purchased a heart rate monitor; when you start really getting into it, I definitely suggest you invest in…
-
I know that it reads my heart rate accurately. Given that, I'm going to assume my calories are right on par!
-
I didn't do a 5K program but rather just.. did it on my own (I don't know if I'd recommend that). I would walk for the first 10 minutes to get my body prepared and ready to go the rest and then probably around 7 or 8 minutes into the run, I start to feel it (especially in my legs). If I can feel any sort of tension or…

Maybe your eating intervals had something to do with increasing your metabolism? I know that eating too little will stall your metabolism... SO maybe you were eating quite a bit and your metabolism was like "NICE!" and went crazy.. then the following week your metabolism was still thinking that it's in vacation mode and…

Keep up the great work! You're inspirational! I LOVE RunKeeper. I wish I had more friends who used it. Out of 4, I'm the only active one
-
Yeah definitely get it, it'll bring positive change in many aspects!
-
DEFINITELY! I'd focus on running and cardio for now and then when you start to his a plateau, look to weight training and incorporating it into your workout schedule! *edit* (adding onto this post) When you do start lifting, do it before your cardio. That way you're burning the optimal amount of calories. Weight training…

It took me about a week to get used to it. BUT, GOOD NEWS: Once you really involve yourself in the site, you start doing much better! I now find myself on MFP more than I am on Facebook. Not only that but when I do not log in the site, I end up cheating and doing things that make me fatter

You summed it up in shorter words than I... I praise you for saying what I'm apparently incapable of.

After typing a novel’s worth of a response, I left a summary to paraphrase everything I’m saying. I'll refrain from turning this into a debate as well. I, too, have heard to keep it to a page. I don’t usually go to job fairs. I’ve been to two of them, and one of them I didn’t even have a resume. The other, I came with a…
-
Wow, honestly I did not think anyone would take me seriously. Normally I would go into FULL detail right in the post but I figured nobody would pay me any attention so I just threw in my two cents and left. I probably wasn't going to return back to it. My friends and I all take fish oil, I was skeptical at first because I…
-
Look up the benefits of fish oil, and then I recommend that you go out and purchase some fish oil tablets! 1 gram per day (usually about 3 pills or so, depending on the dosage)
-
Depends on what you're applying for. But if you're cutting yourself short by reducing it to one page then you might be missing out on great opportunities. Many times, it's that EXTRA page that gets you the step above your competitors for a given job. I've spoken to many recruiters too, I've had recruiters tell me that they…

Do what I do... Lift for strength, not bulk. I go to the gym and lift 5 days a week and go for a 30 minute run afterwards to waste away whatever energy I have left. This way, my body isn't eating away my muscle since it's trying to build it at the same time and all that jazz blah blah you can read articles on that. Just…
-
I’m going to bump this because I think it’s important for yourself and any other person who is having trouble seeking a job in this economy. You might laugh at me because I’m younger and don’t have a degree yet. However, I would like to label myself as a legitimate source as I am getting paid more than most fresh college…
-
I completely agree with this. The most consistently I login, the more consistent my efforts are. I tend to not log in as frequent on weekends because I have a lot going on and my nutrition and goals suffer for it. Good post!
-
Want to know what I recommend (if you haven't indulged already)..? A good multi-vitamin suited for your needs! I used to criticize multi-vitamins and praise the fact that I went to the gym without supplementing ANYTHING.. I was dumb. I tried out multivitamins and my recovery time has literally been slashed in half! Granted…
-
Define "take a beating" ... Do you mean shin splints or other? I never saw myself as a runner because... well my body wasn't really ever made for it. But now I am able to sustain running without stopping for quite a distance.
-
Ok, I do on average about 1 hour and 30 minutes (at most 2 hours) of high-intensity exercising on an average day. I do my workouts RIGHT before work, so I get to the gym around 7 to give myself a decent 2 hour period (I start at 9). If anything, exercising in the morning gives me more energy throughout the day. I would…

I think what you want to here is this... He may be intimidated by the thought of relationships at the moment (I don't know his past as well as you would) so maybe he doesn't want to jump into anything. However, it's been a year so he certainly enjoys spending time with you; so maybe he is afraid that you don't want to…
-
In my opinion, it depends on your needs as a runner. So far I only shop with New Balance because their customer service is unparalleled and they help me find the perfect shoe for me ONLINE. I've never had a better online experience with any other company before (for anything!). Right now I'm sporting the NB 1225's. I have…

I'm going to write up a separate thread about running for people who have doubts about their running.. But to answer YOUR question, yes running is for you. It takes time and consistency but you will eventually be able to "Go from Couch to 5K" Start with the treadmills. My advice is this: set your treadmill to "Manual" for…

That's because it's Newman's Own! Which is pretty much Green Mountain Coffee
