I am more confused than ever....LOL! I THINK the consensus is that I should trust my HRM. But then I should be subtracting my hourly BMR from the actual calories that my HRM is showing. I was so much easier when I had all faith in my HRM....LOL!

I think some of you dont realize what it takes to push a double stroller that weight probably 30 pounds itself with 2 kids in it which she said was 80 pounds....and if the terrain wasnt good, it would have been even harder trying to maneuver as the best doubles are unwieldy! Id go with your HRM. [/quote] HAHA! Thanks!!! :)

So how do I figure that? LOL! I am sorry...I had no idea you should do that...

Why do you subtract out the BMR calories?

Ok. So, to give a little comparison. Riding my bike for 34 minute I burned 365 cal. max HR: 192 Avg HR 172

No....I am in THAT bad of shape.... :/ Yes, I was huffing and puffing pretty much the whole time.

on this particular workout avg HR 182 max HR 197 RHR usually in high 70s/low 80s

avg HR 182 Max HR 197 RHR usually in the high 70s low 80s

I also have friends who do 1/2 sugar 1/2 splenda to a pitcher of tea. OR start gradually phasing it out.....

I am so with you girl!! And I have come to this conclusion. I am giving up and making healthier changes in every other aspect of my diet. THIS is the one and only think that I refuse to change. I do not like the change...of any of the other sweetners. I CAN TELL! I figure in the BIG scheme of things, it really is not going…

I am originally from south Mississippi, living in Northwest Arkansas. And, yes, I do miss rice and gravy.....BADLY! And crawfish, for all that matters....:)

I third that invite! Great support over there!!!

Ok. That is what I was kinda thinking too....

Now, see, I didn't even think about a podcast.... Thanks!!

I think this is a fabulous idea. Take things in stride, one little piece at a time. Especially this time of year when it is cold, and everyone stays sick, breaking it up into smaller workable pieces helps to madify and adjust with the curveballs life tends to throw.....

Mine is 1300.

Someone once told me that it could be the increased circulation from the exercise....I do that too...

Their grilled salmon is FABULOUS!....that is if you like seafood....

Well, I know I do not have a scientific answer, but I do know from experience that sometimes, the body responds best when you give it a "break" and then restarting....It kinda reboots everything with a new sense of energy so to speak. It's just like exercising. When you plateau, you have to suprise your body with something…

This is the best explanation that I have found for how this is supposed to work, and from everything that I have heard from everyone I know that has been successful with it, swears by it. We shall see! :) "HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin...) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. One of it's functions is to ensure the…

They have a Skinny *kitten* companion....LOL!

Ok. Well, I only got through Chapter 3 and I was totally not ok with what I was reading.....I was totally mislead and very dissappointed! I am glad I am not the only one. Vegan or vegetarianism is not for me. But I do respect those who live those lifestyles. I was taught "to each his own". I do buy my veggies fresh every…

I think it depends on what you want it to do. Personally, I went ahead and spent the extra $$ to get a HRM that shows my calorie burn because I figured if I was going to make a serious conscious effort of tracking what goes in, I wanted to be exact on what I was burning as well. I am not sure about many of the HRM on the…

Well, I wore mine all day at school.....so as long as you wear the chest strap and the watch, yeah, it will.....

This is my questions about it. What does it do that we aren't already doing here, using our own HRM that tell our calorie burn. Maybe I am missing something, but to me it seems that I am essentially getting the same information here and from my HRM that it gives me and I dont have to subscribe to anything and pay for…

Thank you so much. Please let me know what you find. I would love to learn more...

I would SOOOOO go with the WHO CARES attitude that day too....In fact, I am as of about 2 until whenever....LOL! It is one day. One day is not the end of the world. I would just be sure to eat as clean as possible all week long, get in all your planned workouts as well, and then call it good. Like I said one day is not…

Thanks. That is what I thought from the things I have read, and learned in school....but my trainer sure has has information not quite right....I am glad to have it anyway. I figure if I am gonna monitor to the "t" what's going in, I might as well monitor with the same scrutiny what is going out (per se).

LOL! I feel your pain. I am on W4, and it is kicking my *kitten*! The gym I go to is always full of athletes...I live in a very small town and my gym is the only one in town....so everyone goes there, and since it is off season for football, lots of FB players are in there right now.....UGH! Keep up the good work. It will…

I'm in!!! let me know!!!
