supposedly you can change the ft4s batteries yourself too, i havent had to yet though.

polar ft4 is good. it can go in a pool too. times your workout, how long you are in target heart rate range, your heart rate and calories burned, max heart rate and average heart rate for the work out. really cant ask for much more. approx 80 bucks on amazon

I love those videos, Pauline is hilarious, it makes it fun to do because I am always giggling at her endless babbling. eta: awesome work !

for at home work out, not sure if this has been posted on this thread yet, i kind of skimmed, but this is right kicking my butt (haha just like the title of the blog, didnt notice that at first) http://fitnessblackbook.com/workout-routines/body-weight-circuits-are-kickin-my-butt/

i love this thread for recipes! i need to find some really good lunches to repeat, dinner I have to mix it up to feed the rest of the family, i almost wish i could find a few good things and eat them over and over but i dont want to make two dinners a night. maybe someday, hah

i didnt know you could just add cals, today is my birthday and i ate two thirds of a piece of cake that is over 1k a slice total. :/

it appears to me, and i could be wrong, that it is more for finding your calorie goal to maintain or lifting to build muscle, rather than lose.

When you lose the 5 lbs you want to…

age is very true too. the weight came off much faster at 25 than it has at 33. that is why I am here ;)

I was very lucky and dropped all of my baby weight twice now (2 kids) in about 3-4 months after having them, but honestly, the best predictor in my opinion is look at your own mother. If it just melted off her there is a good chance of being one of the "lucky ones" and if it didnt, then it might be a bit more challenging,…

in my experience, the only time I can tell a difference is when i eat it totally by itself. which isnt often. i usually eat them with wheat thins and small pieces of cheese as a snack. but i have had it on pizza and sandwiches. with cheese and crackers i cant tell. when i eat it alone, it is definitely subpar to regular.…

I was told to try slo FE by my doc. supposed to be "gentle" on the system cause of slow release, read : less constipation

this needs repeated. it is so "instinctual" to put your knee in front of your foot when squatting down that in my opinion it takes a lot of effort and concentration to really make sure that doesnt happen during the squat like activities. even if you have to go slow, or get a cheap o plastic full length mirror to work next…

thank you so much, those pages are good reading on the matter. I will need to figure out what lifting or strength training I can do at home from those lists. i am still kind of confused on the how many times a week vs rest days but I think I will just keep on reading. :) thanks again

thank you so much, i saw a post after i posted about cardio circuit general but it gave me 138 cals burned. i will do a search in the cardio tab for what you wrote there. thanks again

I was wondering if anyone on this thread would share how they put the 30 day shred on their exercise log here. thanks
