HRM's are good at being more accurate at counting calories. But you have to take into consideration your normal burn amount with out working out. I burn 60 cal per hour without working out. so if I worked out for an hour and my HRM told me I burned 560. I actually burned 500. If I'm on a machine and it tells me I burned…

One thing I have noticed is my calorie burn from my HRM is WAY more than a machine info that it gives me. When I go to the gym I combine the two and divide by two. I use the average. If I don't have a machine I take about 200 calories just to make sure I'm not over guessing. But that is just what I do. I know everyone is…

1. What's your real name? Courtney :) 2. Married, single, long-term relationship, divorced, widowed? Long-term 3. How old are you (no cheating)? 25 4. A food you love that's terrible for you: cheesecake (I can and have eaten a whole one in one day), burgers, PIZZA...ALL AT ONCE!! 5. Celebrity crush: Johnny Rzeznik 6. What…

I have a Timex Heart Rate Monitor T5G981. Which I love, but after about 2-3 hours it does get a bit uncomfortable so I don't know how comfortable that would be.

I don't know much about the watches, the only thing I can think of is a bodybugg. It goes around your arm. I think it goes off of body temp and various other things. I don't see how a watch can be accurate without knowing at least your heart rate. Just my opinion though :)

I also always used "it's never worked anyways (after only a week I got this thought stuck in my head). I won't lose weight no matter what I do".

OH GOD YES! I always used "I'm so tired, I can make up for it tomorrow". Or...I just ate, I can't work out on a full stomach". Or the doozy, I'll start tomorrow, 1 day won't hurt.

ok wait...I'm confused. Does this mean we shouldn't go above our fat burning zone and into our cardio zone?

I didn't see the episode but when I saw the shake weight commercial i about DIED! Classic...what a way to get sales....

Oh man! Congrats! I have two babies and I love them so much! Zoe May I had since she was about a week or so old. She was abandoned so I had to bottle feed her which was amazing. Of course litter box. My cats like foil balls, the little plastic ring around the milk and my lap. :) They like to cuddle with my face too. Some…

Well what I did was split the difference which gave me 440. Thats a little over 100 calories every ten minutes, which is about right. I will just continue doing that. And yea, KThom, My heart rate was 165-170 for 95% of the time. :)

LOL yea I found it :)

Amarillo - I totally agree, I did workout today to get some x-tra and that is absolutely helping. So I will try to eat a small lunch but I really won't be upset :) Thank you guys!

I LOVE fiber one bars. I have never seen their muffins. I guess i was a little iffy because muffins are so bad for you. but I will definitely look into em!

Amazing!!! Great job!

What is the wood chopper??

I have made my diary public.

I'm trying to read up on as much as I can because I want to know a little more what my body is doing with what I give it, as far as exercise and food. it's confusing though. So many contradictions.

I don't know about the fat issue. I was under by 17 grams. I was only able to work out in the evenings (my gym opens at 5 and I had to be to work at 6) but since we are going back to 8 hr days, I can go in in the morning. So I am definitely give that a try! I know, from the way my body works, that I have a tenancy to eat…

Orglamix is amazing!

Oh honey! I'm ALL bout the pretty stuff. Perfumes: Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier, Givenchy Play, Victoria's secret - Noir Makeup! - clinique eye shadow, prestige eye shadow. I just bought a mascara mini kit to test out some new ones! I'm trying out new stuff right now, If I remember I'll post on here :) :)

I know the feeling. But, I'm going by measurements. Because in my history I don't lose the weight per say as quickly as I would like, but my measurements go down. Of course after a while the weight will come off. You should try that and see if you find the results that would motivate you :).

That's funny you say that. That's been the BIGGEST issue in my life. And I, too, am seeing someone about it. So I'm all game! We need something like this, and I don't think many realize that food can be an addiction and drug.

OMG that is amazing! You look gorgeous and keep at it!!! Your style is wonderful!

I have a SUPER small apartment. I always dance around (I know it sounds dumb, but you put some good tunes on and start shakin!). Dumbbells are dumbbells. Maybe get the rubber coated ones. Get a set of 5 lbs, 12 or 15 lbs, and 20 lbs. Then if you find those are too light you can get a higher weight. Then you can do squats,…

I'm sure someone has mentioned this but I didn't read all the way down. Maybe you are hitting your plateau meaning, you need to not eat 1600-1800. Stick to your 1200 (remember, the more you workout the more you can eat). and do more high intensity workouts. More cardio, some low impact but high rep strength training. Just…

I don't know if you have tried it, but always moisturize. It helps the skin firm up. I'm sure you knew that already but just throwing it out there again. With how small you are and the weight you are trying to get to, it shouldn't be too bad. Like Misterjosh said...it heals over time and if it's still not at the quality…

Amazing! Great job!

****MOTIVATION!!*** ****ENCOURAGEMENT!!!*** I understand fully. It's so hard to work for so long at it. I know my issue is I don't see instant results so I figure it's not worth it. I hope you reach your goal. Just remember IT TAKES TIME. And it's a constant process of thinking about what you are eating and when you are…
