Hi everyone! Thanks for all your comments. I was estimating on the low end - 500 cals for 90 minutes. I just got my HRM in the mail today so I may try it in class on Sunday just to see what happens.

Just ordered in on Amazon! Thanks for the tip!

Excellent! Thank you so much for the tip Kimberly - it got good reviews on Amazon and its a good price. Some HRMS are out of control with costs.

Running on a treadmill can suck in general :) We just got blasted with snow in the NE and I am training for a half so I cant get outside. I have come to face the fact that I will be staring at a wall for many miles over the next few weeks

Ok so all of this said - What is the best heart rate monitor for active females Ready Set Go! :explode:

Both excellent posts, but still would like some help with the calorie math

Had this for breakfast this morning: http://pinterest.com/pin/247557310739262237/ I made it last night so it was waiting for me when I got home from the gym :)

I'm new to Chia seeds too. Do they really keep you fuller longer? How many servings do you recommend per day? I made vegetable stuffed eggplant with dinner tonight and tossed 2 servings into the vegetables while they sauteed. They didn't change the taste and my husband didn't even notice (he fears change:tongue: ) so I…

I am definitely in! I am training for a half marathon too so I may have to take a few liberties so I can add in my distance training and double up on the insanity work outs but Feb 1 sounds as good as day as any. How do you log the calories in MFB? Kickboxing??

I workout about 6 days a week and mix it up between running, tae-bo/kick boxing, yoga, and weight lifting. I work out because I want to eat when I'm hungry, have a sweet every now and then, and all of that good stuff. But also I am a happier person when I exercise. Sometimes I will take an extra day off because my body is…

Thanks for the tip!

HI everyone! I too recently discovered clean eating and it something I would like to do more of - although I don't know if I can go all in. Currently I don't eat a lot of processed foods, or maybe I do and just don't know it, but cleaning up my pantry wouldn't hurt. The biggest challenge is the cost of some of the less…

Hi! I just had my baby in October and I am trudging through the final 5 pounds to get down to pre-baby weight. If you were active during your pregnancy, you should have to problem losing the baby weight and then breast feeding will also help you burn calories. You can burn an extra 500 a day - just sitting - which is…

Love Cuties! During my pregnancy I was also addicted to grapes and other frozen berries. If you toss them in water, they are like a little prize at the bottom of the glass when you're done :)

Thanks so much ladies - on the topic of heart rate monitors - any suggestions? I'm in the market but I'm such a flake about committing to one.

excellent and awesome! I tried using the "yoga" in cardio and knew I had to be working harder than it suggested.

Don't be mad at yourself. That won't get you anywhere. Honestly, it may sound silly but try gum. When I want to eat for no apparent reason, I pop some gum in my mouth and it usually satisfies whatever is happening :)
