I've been meaning to mention it to you guys for awhile for anyone that uses a heart rate monitor ... but I keep forgetting what the gel is called. I saw someone on MFP with a question this morning about buying a HRM monitor so I…

RedneckWmn: I've been trying to eat around 130-150 carbs a day based on what my nutrition class says. They recommend 30 carbs per meal and 15 carbs per snack (with 3 snacks a day). Their opinion is more than 30 carbs at a meal turns to fat because your body can't process more than that at one time. I would have to say I am…

I have a Polar F7 HRM and really like it. You can find Polar HRM on amazon.com - I ordered a replacement strap from there. They also carry them at most sporting good stores. I think my husband bought mine originally at ****sSports. I highly recommend using and Electrode gel with the HRM. I didn't use one until recently and…

Welcome Jeclshirley! We get chatty off and on, but it's been kind of quiet lately. We usually do an 'official' weigh-in on Fridays, but some people weigh on other days and just save their results for Fridays, some people don't post their losses - it's completely up to you - we are very easy going. Some of us try to do a…

good morning gals! I did not have a great weekend with food ... I was in such a good 'groove' and now I feel like I'm struggling again with food choices. I NEED to get back on track today or I know I won't see a loss on the scale by Friday.

I have had a better day so far ... even though it started out with a warm banana nut muffin that my neighbor brought over. But I restrained myself to one (and fed my son who is home sick with a cold 3 of them). I didn't have a salad (good suggestion elmox), but made an omelet with spinach and cheese for lunch - so pretty…
