I have used a Polar H7 heart rate monitor for about a year. I had an older Android phone that wouldn't run the Polar Beat app. My H7 died this weekend and as I was purchasing a new one I rediscovered the PB app. Now that I have a new phone I plan to try it. Up to this point I've used the H7 with MapMyRun and love it there.…

Personally I don't think this is possible unless you are eating things pulled right from the ground, fresh off the hoof, etc. In another post you noted that you were going to have to learn to cook. It isn't that hard, find a good cookbook. Two years ago I was getting my breakfast from fast food chains, my lunch from a deli…

My trainer says you'll know it when you hit your limit. :) I'm usually in the 45 to 50 range with no unwanted effects.

+1, I totally agree with this comment.

removing because I think that a post below is better suited.

I actually would change this. Hopefully you like yourself period, end of statement. "Well, at least I'm healthy now" or some variation of that (healthier, becoming healthy, etc). If you link it to being healthy and people make that connection then the comments will stop from those that matter.

I watch all three. 45% carbs, 25% fat and 30% protein. I rarely hit my daily calorie goal, usually well under. I know how many grams of protein I need as a minimum per my trainer and balance the others out accordingly.

I agree with the great advice you've been given. The one thing I would add is trying to make sure that the calorie intake is well balanced. Right now I shoot for 45% of my cals from carbs, 25% from fat and 30% from protein. I think when I was in the losing phase, if memory serves me correctly the fat and protein amounts…

I must be blessed. I really have not had the experiences you all have described. I went from a 48 inch waist down to 34 inches, losing nearly 145 pounds. 83 of those pounds came off in 7 months last year and I have been in maintenance for 11 months now. Family have been extremely supportive of what I have done and most of…

Ask the staff at the gym. That's what they're there for. They would rather you ask and get the best workout possible than to go at it without knowing what you are doing or worse yet not trying it at all. I was so intimidated by the gym, but I hired a trainer and he has walked me through most of the equipment...that was 17…

My sister loves paleo, but has found it difficult to fix because she is the only one in the house eating that way. I'd like to try it sometime. I'm glad you are working to increase the numbers with your PT. I've never liked the way MFP calculates calories. I'm 43, male and 180-ish pounds. To maintain it was trying to tell…

Just curious...did you set your calorie goal or did you PT? I'll start the war here and say that it sounds pretty low, but I'll add that it also depends on a lot of other factors like age, current weight, goal weight, and whether m or f. Hopefully your PT is a good one who is walking through all of these factors with you…

I would not suggest using anything like this as a meal substitute. Snacks - maybe. Here's the key: read the label. Reading the label is the most important dietary thing you can do. Sure, vitamins are a good thing and a good taste helps get the vitamins down. What else is in it? I ate a certain brand of protein bars for…

When I cook it I do it just like I'm making rice...except I substitute pineapple juice for 1/2 of the water.

My breakfast for the last 18 months has primarily included a serving of FiberOne cereal with 1/4 cup almond milk; 1/2 serving of plain Greek yogurt with a splash of vanilla and 85g's of fruit (blackberries, blueberries or strawberries); 2 poached egges (1 whole, 1 egg white only); 2 slices of low sodium bacon; and a slice…
