I have a Polar FT60F and I love it. I understood how to use it after just a few minutes, which was very surprising for me. I would recommend it if you're looking for a versatile HRM.

First one was...*****cat dolls. I know, it's bad. It was not for the music, believe me. Last one was Paul Simon a few weeks ago with my dad, which was amazing.

Wow, you're doing amazing! You've clearly changed your life, which is anything but easy. I have no doubt that you'll get where you want to be. Hope you don't mind me asking, is there any story behind your untraditional wedding outfits? I've never seen anything like it.

My starting weight today is 258. I actually lost 5 lbs this week, even though I felt I hadn't worked out enough. I'm definetely feeling motivated now

I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast, and I love it. Not only does it make me feel full, it stabilizes my stomach, which I find is easily irritated.

You look amazing! Is that your pool? Jealous!

I'm in!

vikidelynn: is Native American one of them?

Nope. Are you?

Nope, but it is European

jaimrlx: Italian / English

Filipino?

(Baxter: "The mirror... it's broken.") Fran: "Yes, I know. I like it that way. Makes me look the way I feel." If you know where that's from, you're awesome. Bonus round: "Well, f/uck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Teresa?" And every other line in Heathers, it's the perfect movie to quote

I'm studying Italian, also hoping to include French later

Must be Swedish

Our cat's name is Mitzi :) It had to start with an M, all our names do(it's a family thing). I like that it's not too common, and she's such a big part of our family, she's almost like the third child. I also read somewhere that cats recognize their names better if it has an S sound in it. What do you guys think? True or…

Your back and arms look a lot more toned, IMO. So even if you're not losing as much as you'd like to, your body is definetely changing.

I like my name now, but as a kid I wanted a more feminine name, like Maja or Madeleine. I never wanted a name that doesn't start with M, though, since my dad, mom and sister has names beginning with M, it's sort of our thing. Now I think my name is short and precise, without being connected to any particular personality…

Of course, unless I'm wearing heels. I would never go inside my own home with shoes on either, is that some American thing? It's odd. What would be the point of mopping the floors if you are wearing dirty shoes?

Thanks for the replies :smile: I'll try it and see how my body reacts to it. I want to do what's best in the long run, so I can be healthy for the rest of my life :)

Am I the only one with only one name? :ohwell: My only "middle name" is my mom's last name, but that doesn't count. Whenever we talk about names, though, she says she regret not giving me or my sister middle names. Not that I like any of her suggestions, and I feel like she could have gone with Lisa, and I'd rather not be…

I didn't count my workouts, since I usually don't do them every day. But today I have eaten aprox. 1450 calories without working out, and I have had four full meals. Does that mean I should eat another meal during the day? I would still be under 1750 cal/day with the kind of food I eat.

After checking several websites, my TDEE is around 2500. But 2000 calories/day seems like a lot, if I'm trying to lose weight. And I try to work out 5 day/week. I'd have to eat all the time? But since I have much weight to lose, can't I eat around 1500? Or will I start to lose muscle?

Thanks for the reply :smile: Last time I checked, all my organs were healthy and normal, and I definetely want to add muscles, so I'll keep eating lots of protein.

So I should eat according to my BMR, which is 1550-1590, and if I exercise, my total(when MFP subtracts calories burned) should still be around that? That makes sense, but then I shold probably invest in a HRM. I'll probably also need to eat more times/day. Thanks, that helps a lot! :smile:

Filling out http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm, it says for me to eat 2218 calories/day for "extreme fat loss". That seems like a lot for me. According to MFP I should eat 1550/day, but most of the time I eat less than that. I'm really not eating that much less during meals than I did before, but I had…

I'm new here too, and also suffer from anxiety. That's why the weight has got to go, so I can feel more confident and be proud of my body. I think that will help a lot. It's a lifelong journey that scares the crap out of me at times, but I'm feeling optimistic :)
