  • haha...make sure u take a dump too!
  • LOL! I also place my scale exactly on the same spot..like it makes a difference, huh! The things we do to syke ourselves.
  • I'm about to complete INSANITY and I definitely would recommend a HRM. I would average 135-150 HR but I think my monitor overestimates calories burned. I used Shapesense.com, I guess you could use the cardiovascular section to input your data and it would give you an estimate of calories burned. Good Luck!
  • Yeah, I have the same HRM...just don't trust it cause it's giving me close to 1000 cals..I'm currently doing INSANITY. When I use the Heart rate calculators from Shapesense.com, I usually get lower outputs from 600-800. Also make sure your calculating your net calories burned instead of your gross.
  • I usually weigh myself once a week, I try to keep it consistent so I do it every Wednesday as soon as I wake up. If you weigh yourself everyday you'll find your weight fluctuating, just from personal experience.
  • Well put! Learn to balance your workouts and meals to have a healthy life style.
  • Your HRM over estimates the calories you've burn, try using HRM calculators. I use Shapesense.com it provides more accurate info based on gender, weight, height, etc... http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx
  • Congrats! Keep up the good work.
  • Give it time, also try doing cardiovascular exercise's instead of weights. Don't rely so much on what the scale displays it's how your body feels.
  • Welcome, I'm fairly new...going on 1 1/2 month's and lost close to 10 lbs. feel free to add me
