  • Have had this happen to me too. It was because my chest strap wasn't tight enough and the sensors kept coming up off my skin, no contact, which makes it not count accurately. Make sure the sensors are cleaned off routinely and tighten the strap. Oh and also, found that the elastic of the shelf bra in my top that I was…
  • Welcome to MFP. I have yo-yo'd for years. Always seems a struggle with my weight. This site has helped me focus. And since August have lost 15 pounds.

  • I would try both the above suggestions and if that doesn't work Polar. Let us know what works. I have a new Polar F6 that I got for Christmas and it will help give me a heads up if I have the same problem.
  • I love Jillian's workouts. Try reading her book "Mastering Your Metabolism" if you haven't already. Could be your eating habits that are causing the plateau. Made a world of difference for me.
  • I was at a stand still weight wise for 3 weeks. Didn't gain. . didn't loose. Was told about Jillian Michaels (Trainer from The Biggest Loser) book "Master your Metabolism" by my cousin who has lost 40 lbs since January. So I went out and bought it. Read it in one day (Last Saturday) and have lost 3 lbs so far this week and…
  • Welcome Katelyn!
  • There is one entry in the exercise section. Do a search for fencing. It sounds like the closest thing to what you do. Then put in the amount of time (in minutes) that you spend doing that activity.
  • I posted it on my FB page also! Let's hope someone knows them . . .
  • One of my sons was on that and he gained a lot of weight in a very short period of time. Don't like that med!
  • I keep i simple for lunch. Bought some containers so that I can make up stuff ahead of time if I want. But I keep it to only tree meals for lunches throughout the week. Either: Soup & Salad Soup & Sandwich Sandwich & Salad Some say that having too much variety creates an easier reason to stray from what you are trying to…
  • Fantastic! Gonna have to try it!
  • I have tried so many also and like you am tired of giving my money away to everyone else. So I started this program and am on my third week, and it is working. I am just eating healthy, making good choices and working out 5-6 times a week. 3 times cardio, 2 times strength training and if I am up to it on Saturday's I do it…

  • How sad. . my thoughts and prayers are being sent. . .
  • I love waking up in the morning and being able to see! It was one of the best things I ever did for myself! It was scary and a little spendy, but SO worth it!

  • Welcome to NFP. I too know what it feels like to work out very hard and not loose a pound. Have been dealing with that for two months now. Then I was introduced to this website and found out that what I thought were healthy food choices may not have been so healthy at all. Am ready to make things happen! Sending you "BIG…
