Thanks for the responses. I'm feeling a little foolish for falling into the marketing magic. I appreciate the advice.

_______________ I am 55 years old. My max heart rate according to the standard formula is 165. I realize the machine counters aren't pinpoint, but I do see where it adjusts according to the amount of exertion. I really only mentioned the VO2max because it increased the burned calorie count (going from 186 on just heart…

No. My VO2max was 56. 122 was my average heart rate during the cardio portion of my workout. This was measured with a Polar chest band sending signals to the machine.

Try Mr. Spice sauces. I discovered these after struggling with a low sodium diet. No fat, 10 calories, no sodium, and they have a bunch of flavors. They make you a deal on free shipping and product depending on how much you order (or they used to, anyway). A little pricey, but if you take advantage of the discount and free…

I've been doing some research as I'm getting ready to buy my first one. So far, it looks like the TomTom Spark is the best around in that price range. They are using new algorithms for the HR sensor which is supposed to be extremely accurate. There's an in-depth review on Wareables and DC Rainmaker websites.…

Shoot me a request, too. I am also 55. Lost 31 pounds in 2014 and dropped my B/P from 136/109 to 106/74 with MFP and a low sodium diet that I made up as I went. Held it for awhile, then spent 5 weeks in Florida helping out my folks. They sit around at lunch discussing where to have dinner. I didn't stand a chance. After…

Nope.

I can tell you all about slipping back into bad habits. Last January, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension. In the past, I had been on all the fad diets with some success but I always seemed to end up 5 pounds heavier than when I started. This time, I worked on cutting sodium, got real inventive, stuck to MFP daily,…

Bacon.....always bacon. Where would you rather be; the beach or the mountains?

Well, I think Bambi has it figured out. The list that matters is the one you make up, and you better have your own name at the top....and damn near everywhere else, too.

I want my two dollars! Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that. Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn. Gee, I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky. Ultimate win here!

Another one I found is Clint's Texas Salsa. It sells at Wal-Mart and other chains. It's 75 mg but it's great and is more like a true salsa than some of the others, which seem to be like Pico de Gallo (to me, anyway). Never gave chips and salsa much thought until I couldn't have them. The frustrating thing was that most…

Thanks for the info. I have been going low sodium since January when my blood pressure came in at the Holy Cow zone. I have a few good meals mapped out, but I'm always looking for something new. I just ordered several of these sauces to try.

Great backpacking trail.

Bring your flyrod!
