I'm reading a book by Jackie Warner called "This is why You're Fat" (and how to get thin for life). Her eating plan consists of eating clean for five days and on the weekends you can have two cheat meals of up to 1500 calories each. I think this is good because when you eat clean most of your cravings are eliminated. You…

A grande iced coffee with half a shot of white chocolate (50 calories for the white chocolate) It's so good!!!

I have a Polar FT7 and mine worked great at first but then after a month it kept giving me a heart rate of zero. I looked online and it said to make sure the sensors on the strap are wet before you use it. Everytime I use it i run water over the strap a few times to make sure the two gray areas of the strap are completely…

Captain Morgan and diet coke, it's so good and the rum has 60 calories per 1 oz shot.

BioChem Whey Protein Powder comes in chocolate, I buy the vanilla and it tastes so good in my smoothies! It's all natural and is sweetened with Stevia. You can buy it online for a really good price at vitacost.com.

You have to go into goals and change your goal again when you lose weight, the website doesn't automatically change it for you. I just say change goals and keep it at my goal for 1 lb per week and then it factors in your new weight and your calories should go down by a little bit.

Ok thanks for the advice. Yeah, I do always make sure it is upright....it's just frusturating when you spend good money on a HRM and it stops working correctly! It worked great for the first month I had it, and now I am having issues with it for the first 20 to 30 minutes.

I have a Polar F7 too and was wondering how you wash your strap? I rinse it after every use but it takes 20 minutes to read my HR once I put it on. I read that you should wash it in the washing machine after every 5th use, so i tried it last night and hope it works today!

I prefer to work out in the mornings because then you can move on with the rest of your day. Just think of working out early in the morning this way.....I was taking a cycle class at 6:30am and the instructor said "I heard my alarm go off this morning and didn't want tget out of bed, but I've never regretted an early…

You can get your whey protein at GNC or a grocery store, but they usually have artificial sweetners in them. I get mine on vitacost.com, they have really good prices! I get the Biochem Vanilla Whey Protein powder and I put it in my smoothie, it tastes so good and is all natural! They have other falvors to choose from too.

I use Whey vanilla protein from Biochem. I put it in my smoothie and it tastes great and mixes very well! They also have a protein powder in vegan form in vanilla, natural, and chocolate. I'm guessing the vegan versions tastes almost the same as the non vegan version. You can buy it online if you search under biochem vegan…

I just got that DVD and did the 45 minute body circuit with my HRM and I only burned around 130 calories, but that is because my heart rate didn't go up much since there was no cardio. I usually do work outs that involve strength and cardio so I see a huge calorie burn, so from now on I'm going to pause the video after…

Ok, I'll try washing it with just water after every workout, thanks for the advise!

I am at 1200 calories and I don't have much weight to lose either. It does seem low, but it is possible. I found that eating salads with a lean protein like chicken really fill you up and they are low in calories. I make a protein smoothie after most of my intense workouts and that keeps me full for a good four hours and…

It's true that a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same but muscle takes up less space. Therefore, if you have gained more muscle you might weigh more. I get frustrated with the scale too because I weigh just as much as one of my friends, yet I look about fifteen pounds lighter than her because I do work out and…
