I know this is an old post but.... I use the same machine on the fat burn setting (love it by the way!) and when I use my HR monitor, the machine tells me I burn less than my HR monitor does. So I have been taking sort of an average from the two of them, which is usually where MFP puts me. My HR monitor will say 600+ and…

Did my first day today. Wow! That move where you straighten your leg and lift it up? Why is that so hard that way? I've got a nice big butt now but I can feel it softening. So I'm trying to improve. Wowie! My polar beat monitor said it was 200 calories for my 20 minutes. I did the 30 day shred first. I'm gonna be sooooo…

I don't know if it works or not but it sure is tasty!

you look great! You were blessed with a beautiful shape before and you've maintained it after. Way to go!:flowerforyou:

Here's a great tip...you have the ability to CHOOSE your health care professionals. Go ahead and ask for a skinny nurse and see what kind of care you get. :grumble: [/quote] Yes! Love this!

Hmmm. I'm a nurse, hate smoking, and I'm not trashy. I do have some weight to lose, but where do you get off generalizing people like that? I work with about 50 nurses on my floor and only 3-4 of them smoke. So sorry to throw off your statement. Except I'm not.

awesome news! They've connected with myfitnesspal! At the end of each run, it'll prompt you to log it on myfitnesspal :) Finally!

when I was 5'10 148lbs, I wore a size 13 and a L to XL shirt sometimes....

Me too!

Late to reply I know, I'm having that full, can't over eat feeling just by drinking a glass of my 20 calorie sugar free pink lemonade flavored Metamucil before I eat. I started out at just one cup when I wake up and am going to move on to 2 cups spread out through the day. And my tummy feels less bloated and a little…

I understand that frustrated feeling! But let's not get down on ourselves cause we're doing something about it now? Best wishes!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I think part of it might be that I've set my weight loss goal so high it seems unachievable to me. I know it's not, because others have done it. And bravo to you! I think maybe if I set a goal of say, 10lbs at first it'll be more motivating and "easier" to achieve. Also my couch and bed…

I don't drink soda, so that's not an "easy option" for me. I need to move more. Part of me wishes I could be diagnosed with hypothyroid, take thyroid medicine and lose weight easier...or have a 45lb tumor removed from my abdomen :wink:

I'm interested in this! My realistic goal is 43lbs, but my dream goal is 68lbs. I could use allllll the motivation I can get! I like food too much and exercise too little. Help me change that!
