I have a Polar as well. Works perfectly

Workout Anytime is $15 a month for me, very basic, no classes. Just equipment, a locker room and showers but it's 24/7, oh yeah, free WiFi :p .. and it's a mile away from my house. Plus there's another location less than 4miles from my job. I can use the gym at my job for free but have to share it with students. And I have…

Is there any particular reason you are working with light weights instead of heavy? Like most people said, it really has very little to do with exercise and mostly with how much you are consuming. However, I've been at your stats..My heaviest at 5'2" was 220lbs and I'm now at 157lbs. Aesthetically I'm getting better…

You don't need to hire a trainer just to show you around. That's what the gym staff is for. Tell them you are unfamiliar with the equipment and they will show you proper technique and form...FOR FREE. The last thing they want is a law suit because you got hurt. Easy Peasy!

Duly noted observation. So I'm the only one in 5 pages giving an opinion? Really? Good job identifying that.

Never for a moment did I attempt to diagnose her. I made that clear by stating that this was MY OPINION

This is the OP's original post when she started MFP... Looking at it now in comparison to this post, my opinion is that they are both unhealthy mentally... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/35565750#Comment_35565750

Get to work 20 mins early. Park your car as far as you can. Walk the property of your job for 15mins, that should be a 1 mile walk. If you want to do a little more invest in some light handweights. Exercise does not have to be at the gym. It's whenever you can get it in!

It sounds like you may be battling an eating disorder. Food should NEVER be all or nothing- That's the classic make up of yo-yo dieting. And there is absolutely no reason to be below 1000 cals without a doctor or nutritionist's supervision.

My last job, ugghhh, eff them!. I worked hard, nights, weekends, holidays. I stayed later, came early worked on my days off and I was doing well but the company again and again complained of financial strain. I took 2 pay cuts. I still kept my head up and looked at it as for the best for the company. However, they would…

What? Why? Without any information except she's been at this for a week? No. OP, this isn't a sprint, this is cross country. You're in it for the long haul. Some weeks you'll see a 2lbs loss, some 0.4lbs loss and some weeks you'll see a 0.8lb gain. It's all part of the process. As long as you see an overall downward trend…

You're overestimating what you are burning so you are not creating the deficit that you think you are.

If a guy approached me and asked, Hey what are you working on? Can I do some sets with you? I'd probably let him. As long as he's not creepy or I didn't just catch him staring at my booty while I was bent over doing tricep kickbacks!---You know we can see you in the mirror! lol

I remember my navy recruiter gave me that cabbage soup diet. I was 7lbs over military standards...smh. It worked but boy oh boy

If it doesn't get my heart rate up to at least 110, I don't count it. Meaning that if I walk a mile in the mall...No, A mile on the treadmill at 3mph or better, Yes

Kids teased me in elementary school and called me fat, but when I look at my old pictures if those kids weighed 80lbs I weighed 95. Not hugely overweight, but just enough to make life hard. Junior high school I started joining organized sports, by 9th grade I was in pretty good condition, but never skinny- stayed about…

Just started lifting- 2nd week in. Following Erin Stern Elite plan right now. My workout that I just finished about an hour ago consisted of: Supersets: shoulder press and dumbell upright rows (15lb free weights for both) Supersets:Cable rear delt flys and cable front raises w/straight bar Supersets: skullcrushers(bar…

Sounds like if you really are focused on being in the gym change that cardio to lifting. That may help you with the aesthetics you are looking for. be prepared tho...You may see an increase in weight but that may assist in the appearance that you are going for. I do agree with the others too. You may really need to talk to…

It happens, Just get back into what you know how to do. Summer isn't quite here yet. I got down to a low of 150 in May 2014 by Thanksgiving 2015 I was up to 172. Started back in January and now I'm slowly making my way back. At 158 currently. Just gotta keep going!

“I raised you to be a thoroughbred. When thoroughbreds run they wear blinders to keep their eyes focused straight ahead with no distractions, no other horses. They hear the crowd but they don’t listen. They just run their own race. That’s what you have to do. Don’t listen to anyone comparing you to me or to anyone else.…

My opinion- And I will say I am a highly sexual person!--You don't need sex to find connection with anyone. I think there is a beauty in celibacy. As woman who has had a child, the doctor will automatically put you out of commission for 6 weeks. Not only is this time for your body to heal from trauma but allows a bonding…

What are your calories allotted for the day? You may need to up them by 100 or so. Get rid of the unhealthy food. If it's not there, you can't binge on it. Don't wait until a particular day to "start again" If you fail on Wednesday, start over on Thursday, no need to wait until next Monday. That's a waste of days. It's a…

I know you said that you are not new to MFP but It looks like you just created a brand new account. How long have you been back at it? And what have you been using to count your calories? Are you tracking weight? Could this be part of normal fluctuations?

You are my hero right now @quiksylver296 ! I'm patient so I'm very okay with seeing results by the end of the year. That would bring me into birthday #40 and that would be awesome!!! :star:

That bowling ball you're holding weighs what? 10 lbs? So you've lost 2 1/2 bowling balls!!! That's fantastic! Congrats

Just ask the personnel that work there to give you a tour of the machines. They are happy to help demonstrate them. Trust me, they want you to do it right, they don't want to pay out a liability. besides most ppl in the gym are quite friendly. Whenever i see someone step on a treadmill or an elliptical and look confused I…

If they propose marriage then they must feel as though you are the best for them, just the way you are!
