Congrats! Always great to hit the mini goals!

This^^ I just found a polar loop (the original) for $24 on clearance, bought the H7 strap and I get the best of both worlds. Activity tracker plus a good heart rate monitor!

I eat anywhere from 1600-2000 and that's based off following the guidelines in the book. I use mfp to log it, the macros line up and the calorie are pretty spot on from his recipes and projections.

Yeah 4 and then my reset day tends to be high carb. I have a bit more to lose unfortunately. I started at 280 and am 236 now. I would like to get under 200 or until my tire is gone lol whichever comes first!

Extreme cycle is four high carb days followed by 2 low carb and then a "reset day". They don't promote a complete cheat day, just one reward meal at lunch. You also don't eat carbs at dinner ever, regardless of high or low carb day. That is different from the previous book. Thanks about the loss, it's been great and…

Great job!!

I am still cycling. I actually bought Chris and Heidi's new book and started the "extreme cycle" at the end of December. It's been fantastic for me, funny how going from the turbo Cycle to extreme has worked so much better. I am finding my body needs the carbs to be successful at losing weight! Lost 8 lbs in January and am…

I don't have any links but after the first week it's pretty easy. I just try to do simple recipes that I can make in bulk easily!

I will check it out, thank you. The scale continues to just be gridlocked. It's driving me insane but I won't let it defeat me. Going to return back to flawless eating and try to incorporate some more clean calories to see if that helps

Low carb days are pretty solid, well below the hundred mark. 50 if I had to give an average. I have done slingshots as suggested, but am more than likely due for one. I am happy with the progress but just feel like I should hit 2lbs a week. Hate the thought of eating more but I know it works lol

Help needed!! I have been carb cycling since July 1st, I have dropped 35 pounds but man the progress seems slow. I try not to get impatient as the progress has been awesome. I weighed 275 and now weigh 240. I do the turbo cycle and oddly enough my high carb day on Wednesday I always weigh the lowest. In the beginning my…

Mallory it has the chest strap, my plan is to compare it with an elliptical or some machine Monday at the gym, my average HR was 146 and I was in my zone for 25 minutes. Lee it wAs literally the steepest hill I have ever encountered, I'll be going back for more lol
-
274 lbs 5'10. I compared to workouts in MFP and it was higher for sure, but this hill was at least a 50 degree angle. The heart rate monitor wasn't cheap and had good reviews.

Lauren I usually do, just a couple of off days
-
I drink at least ten cups of water a day, I just do a bad job at logging it lol. I work for Burger King corp and am in 5 restaurants a day, so the days I eat stuff there sodium is absurd. I need to watch that better as it has slipped, I do weigh all my food and log everything I consume. I also know I am not gaining two…

yeah sodium was super high recently, I try to watch it best I can. Yes the wall hurt and sucks badly
