I wore my HRM today for Sweat Intervals. I am 38 years old, 155 pounds and my heart rate pretty much stayed in the 160s which is high for me. I burned 330 in 33 minutes. This is my 4th week so I do have achieved a decent amount of cardio conditioning.

OOOH me!!! I'm 5'4"/5'4.5" depending on who measures lol. In 2010 I went from 194 to 152 with WW and since then I've been as low as 147 and up to 165. I'm an avid cardio girl but recently had a lower back/hip thing that sat me down for a couple weeks. Its getting better and in the meantime my husband and I have been…

Heavy weights…not machines. Try strong lifts 5x5 or get the book Thinner, leaner, stronger by Mike Matthews…its filled with a wealth of info with a nutrition and workout plan for lifting heavy…i.e. deadlifts, squats, bench press, barbell rows…etc.

My husband and I have just started weightlifting, so we've been doing a lot of research. I remember seeing this article and it has some good info in it that might be of help to you. http://www.muscleforlife.com/chest-workout-best-chest-exercises/

I wake up hungry! Every morning I blend up a shake in my nutribullet…usually chocolate whey or chocolate Garden of life RAW protein with a banana, crushed ice, and water.

Hi! I think your diary looks great, personally. You probably are somewhat under-eating, especially if you are burning 600+ calories a day and eating 1200ish. I am curious what you do for exercise and how you calculate your calories burned. I will be following this thread to see what advice you get!

I hiccup if I eat anything exceptionally spicy!

You will subtract the total number of calories you ingested from your total calorie burn. So, your calorie deficit would be 300.

Yes!!! I have the same thing. Some days I'm still sluggish, but others...I'm kinda silly. I'll be at my microwave and spontaneously decide to do 10 power jumps, LOL!

I've completed Insanity and am currently in week 3 of a P90X/Insanity Hybrid. Add me!

I've had the exact same problem! After changing the batteries and still not having any luck, I started taking mild soap with a dab of water and cleaning the electrode part of the strap...then rinsing it well under the tap water making sure to get it wet on both sides right before putting it on. That has been the fix for me…

Your diary isn't open :)

I started P90X today! Its definitely way different than Insanity. It was a nice change. As for final numbers with finishing INsanity....My BF is still the same and my weight is still fluctuating between 147 and 150 so I am not sure what to think about that! I'm hoping for new progress with the hybrid and am also lowering…

I just did Insanity... I'm working on 30 day shred, but will start p90x/insanity hybrid here in a couple days and probably ditch the 30 day shred....or only do it on a rest day.

Bodymedia....you won't lose it if you keep it strapped to your arm! I love mine!

http://www.sunridgemedical.com/ I have Hashimotos and I'm looking into this center for further work up. Maybe you could go there and get checked out?

I'm so ready to be done with this program. I am just ready to move on to some lifting! I've been working overtime and still don't work out on days I work, so I'm only off 3 days instead of 4 each of these past two weeks. I don't follow the rest days on the schedule because of that reason...If I did that I'd never finish,…

bodymedia+iMac and iPhone....no problems

I've had my Bodymedia one week as of today and I love it! I love numbers and gadgets so its entertaining. And like a lot of you, I work long shifts and some days are way busier than others. One thing I learned is that I burn more calories by the end of the day when I have a crazy shift than I do if I'm having a day off and…

I have an iPhone and had a few problems getting it to sync at first. Make sure its on your arm and already made the tones indicating its reading body data. Hold down the button on the device until it makes a tone indicating its bluetooth is trying to connect. Then tap connect/not connected on your phone (or whatever you…

I've had mine for 6 days and I LOVE it! I've learned quite a bit since I've started wearing it.....for example, I'm burning more calories in a busy work day (12 hour shift) than I do on a day off that includes an hour long Insanity workout. That was a big surprise. It isn't much more, but lets just say, thank goodness I…

5'4.5" 149 size 10... I wear the Massimo brand from Target.

Back before I joined weight watchers, I had the same thing. I lost like 5 pounds and then used it as a jumping off point and just kept going. What an inspiration, LOL! I hope you are on the up and up soon!

I ordered some of that "buh-bump" cream....I sure hope it fixes the problem!

Thansk for that info! I'll have to try it. I have the FT4 and its driving me nutso. I keep getting the same messages. Its very distracting and for the money I paid, I want it to work!

I'm probably going to do regular Insanity and P90X together as a hybrid. I've printed some schedules of the internet on how they should be combined. Today I had the fit test/max interval again. I felt better than I did last time I did it, but it still kicked my *kitten*. I had all improved numbers on my fit test except for…

I hope month two is going well for you! Did you do the fit test and max interval circuit back to back? It about killed me, LOL :) I do my next fit test on Saturday...and its paired, yet again with Max interval circuit. cant.wait. NOT! I'm actually starting to get excited about finishing up this program and starting…

I'm 13 stubborn, grueling, annoying pounds away! ETA: and 6% BF to go

Where did I say I had a problem? The point is that regardless of whether or not she is losing weight having an undiagnosed thyroid disease is not healthy and it effects way more than just metabolism. One Dr's opinion is not the end of her quest in a diagnosis and if there is treatment necessary then she deserves that…
