  • Thanks everyone for your responses and thoughts. To those that would like to do one "some day" what's stopping you? Yes, you're not going to go from dying on an elliptical after 2 minutes to running a 5K overnight, but over a couple of month, hell yes. If I can do it at 320+lb, you can too! What's most cool/annoying about…

  • It may indeed suck, but just double check that if it wants weight in lbs you didn't enter kilos, that will obviously undercalculate your burn. I have a Polar FT7 and love it. From what I can gather those with a chest strap are certainly better than those that use the watch itself to read. Also make sure it's a "coded"…

  • Down almost 50 and I've got a good 100 to go. But I started when I realized that elliptical I'd purchased wasn't actually a clothing rack. :-) When I first started I would be dead after 3 minutes on the elliptical. I added a minute a week, then two, and it didn't take long to hit 30. The I added in some strength training…

  • Details in my log if you want them, but in short, grilles chicken on salad w/lettuce (duh, its a salad), onion, green pepper, avacado, and homemade balsamic vinegrette. A high-protein lunch following strength training this AM.

  • Thank you. Was going to point that out myself. I guess technically one can't skip dinner either, as it's the last meal if the day. Although breakfast and dinner could be the same meal. :-)

  • Without question! It's exercise isn't it. Will you burn more running 30 minutes at 10mph at an incline of 15 that walking 30 minutes at 3mph at an incline of 1? Of course. But I'd also drop dead if I tried that. :-) I do walking at 3mph at an incline of 2, with a bump of that incline to 13 for a minute out of every 4. Just…

  • According to the USDA food database there are .12g of protein in 100g of coffee brewed from tap water. (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4267) so that's just over half (.56) in an 8oz cup.

  • Don't know, are you sedentary (excluding exercise)? I know I am sedentary, I sit at m desk all day, my only movement is to the coffee machine or water cooler. I set my activity level to sedentary and log/eat my calories from workouts (well, I eat some of them at least.) On the other hand, if I was a landscaper working all…

You body is going WTF is this crazy chick doing to me! :-) Seriously, You're doing great, it didn't go on overnight, it's not coming off overnight.

  • You've lost 50+ lbs, why are you unhappy? Bet if you called your aunt she'd kick your *kitten* seven ways to Sunday for not being incredibly proud of what you accomplished! Bet your grandmother would too! Every body is different, we all have our own cycles of loss and rebalance. Be happy for your aunt, but more…
