I was 13 lbs heavier than my listed weight when I got my license renewed earlier this year, now I'm 15 lbs. lighter than what it says. Not too shabby. I'd like to see it off by about 50 lbs. so I have a ways to go yet.

Changing batteries on the Polar HRM's is very simple. Don't let that sway your decision away from an awesome company. Amazon had the best price on the FT7 I purchased.

Not uncomfortable, we're just not used to it happening that way. It catches us off guard more than anything. Thanks to the ladies who also hold doors.

Don't even have to think about it. Been doing it all my life. Will even hold it longer certain places like my apt. building if I see the person behind me has their hands full carrying kids/groceries/laundry/etc...

I'm down 24 from my highest weight, haven't heard a peep yet.

Not that I expected it to be a healthy, low-calorie treat...a medium cookie dough blizzard at DQ is 1,020 cals. Now I can't even look at the mini size without thinking "an hour of cardio to burn you off. I don't need ice cream that badly"

How silly of me for not remembering that YOUR 22 is capable of so much more than any other 22 on the planet. And your nerves of steel that will allow you to remain completely calm while you shoot your attacker, who is RUNNING at you, directly in the eyeball or ****. That must have been SOME self defense class.

That's great and all, except not all home invasions are about stealing property. You tell him to take the tv, then he tells you he's come for you & the kids. Enjoy that 6 minute response time...if you were smart enough to have already called the police.

Don't count on it. there was a case where a man took a 9mm shot to the forehead and it just traveled under the skin, never penetrated the bone. Drove himself to the hospital to have it removed. Also, a 22 can be stopped completely by nothing more than a leather jacket or several layers of clothing.

There's some good advice in this thread, I'll just throw in a few tidbits and recommendations. Stick with the established names in handguns. That means Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Glock, Sig Sauer, Springfield, HK, CZ, and Beretta. I would NEVER recommend the following brands for self defense: Jennings, Star, Taurus, Lorcin,…

Lutefisk...never again Pretty much everything else is still on the table in moderation.

A stone is 14 lbs (I think it's a European term)

Took my Polar FT7 to work today to see how active I really am on an average day at a car dealership's service department. Even after subtracting my BMR from the total, I'm still burning 2,500+ calories in my 8 hr shift. Looks like I need to start eating a hell of a lot more on workdays.

I'm at 1600 but typically have been coming in a little low, right around that 1500 mark. Feel free to peek

Just downloaded the PDF. Thanks!

UPDATE: Tried again this morning with the HRM. Doing the same speed/resistance as last time, my heart rate was reading pretty high (187+bpm) the first few minutes then started reading crazy high (232bpm) even after I stopped completely. Checked my pulse & it was maybe 160 at that point. Sooo...I adjusted the strap so the…

VeggieKidMand--very nice eyes and lips. even in pictures they demand attention ;-)

Sounds like neither of you have any reason to trust or respect each other. The only reason that comes immediately to mind for a guy to choose porn over sex...he's about to end his current relationship. Between your snooping and his lying, your emotional ties are broken. He doesn't have feelings for you anymore. Move on and…

It's possible I guess, there were only a few times when I thought I could really push harder than I already was. I'll try again this week and see if it's repeatable.

It automatically programmed in 193 for my max HR which should be right i suppose if the 220-age formula is desirable. Subtracting my BMR for that time drops my # to 835 cals which still seems high to me.

Agreed. Pure Protein-Chocolate PB has the least offensive aftertaste of the protein bars I've sampled. 6-packs of them are like $5.95 at Wal-Mart too.
