I just got mine a few days, a week, recently and I am LOVING IT! I would love some friends for motivation.

I have the same HRM and love it! I try to turn it off right after I'm done with whatever I'm doing, (running, cycling, walking, etc) to get a measure of what I burned during the activity, but I often forget until a half hour later at times. Either way, what I usually pull is average and max HR, so it' really doesn't affect…

I agree! It's especially great if you have knees that hurt from doing high impact exercises like running, but want to give yourself more of a challenge then walking.

If you have an iPhone, I just recently found an app call Fit Radio that is amazing! It has different genres, so it'll fit whatever you're in the mood for that day and is all high energy. Outside of that I also keep a Playlist that inlcudes some Black Eyed Peas, older (1990's) Bjork, Lady Gaga, David Guetta, LMFAO, Missy…

I weigh myself daily, to keep myself honest, but my "official" weigh in day is Fridays. I log whatever it says on Friday and keep the rest for personal use, unless I mysteriously lost 2 lbs midweek and want to tell the world, then I'll log that.

I dont' know about the OP, but when I go on a cruise I'm way more active than day to day, even though I don't hit the onboard gym with all the dancing, walking, walking stairs, etc. You eat a crap load, but there's also a crapload more things to for you to actively do.

I'm doing the exact same thing with the same results. Just remember to mix up what you eat: more veggies, 2-3 servings of fruit, combine carbs and proteins, 2-3 servings of low fat dairy, water, water, water, and at least 30 minutes of some kind of activity a day.

Just want to share my own experience from similar situations. I go on mini vacations often. Like once a month often, mainly because of my kids scout camping trips. I have some control of what I eat on these trips, but not a whole lot. I still track while on the trips, but I don't really watch what I eat, and have often…

This is word for word from a book I'm currently reading: From "A Patient's Guide to PCOS" by Walter Futterweit. Hope this explains.

I'm in, and will totally be wearing that red catsuit to the gym once I get closer to my goal weight!

Not sure if what is real?

To expand on that, if you eat carbs, make sure they're full of fiber (ex: whole wheat pasta instead of regular white pasta), and also combine them with a protein. There's something about combining the two and how the nutrients are absorbed into the body that makes it better to combine then to eat only carbs. Also more…

Some hair is not gross. i like some hair, especially to snuggle up to and have it tickle my cheek just a bit. Love it! :love: :love:

Nope, nothing more is needed, because it's really the phone that's doing all the work, not the shoes, and the phone will then sync it up to Nike.

No, the shoes would take a little pod if you were to use say the ipod Nano instead that doens't have GPS or the accelerometer thingy that the iPhones have. NikeFuel is basically like a bracelet that tracks your movement and tells you how active you've been. It's basically a glorified pedometer, but not very accurate…

I agree with everything mirthfuldrago said! I just recently bought a hybrid, because I'm not fully ready to commit to a road bike (price wise and terrain wise). I checked out a couple of LBS' (a friend happens to own one so I hit him up for advice) and they are a WEALTH of knowledge. Whether or not you buy a bike from…

I have about 65 pounds to lose to get to my ideal weight (roughly 75 to 85 get to healthy weight) and I have had bad knees for a very long time. I have done a bit of research one what I consider to be my bad knees and found that my knees hurt for a few reasons: 1) and the most obvious, I'm obese and 2) the surrounding…

I am a woman of many tastes. As long as the body fits the person, I'm not picky. Sometimes a lean, defined guy is hot because it looks good on his frame, or the beastly man. But if you could imagine a man with a beastly frame super thin, that would be a not good, or a small framed guy trying to be beastly. It just doesn't…

It all depends on what you cook it with. It soaks up a lot of flavor, so go easy on spices. I've made it like an oatmeal for breakfast with a little vanilla extract, cinnamon and chopped apples, and it came out better than my oatmeal. I've also used it as a rice alternative making it with onions, some garlic, and vegetable…

I completely stopped drinking sodas months ago. I still have my morning cup of coffee with splenda (at work) instead of sugar or stevia (at home). I'm trying to cut refined sugar out of my diet all together because of the PCOS. I have heard too much caffeine can make it difficult to get pregnant, but that a cup or 2 a day…

I think it's a balance. I am finding success with WW online. I've been doing WW for 32 days now and am down 10 lbs, whereas I've tried other things on my own like MFP and it didn't work. I would yo-yo around the same 5 lbs, but I've also learned some throughout that journey that was holding me back and I've incorporated…
