  • I bought myPolar f11 last xmas for myself from Santa. I love it. It is a great way to learn how your body is working, hard, easy, etc. I just replaced the battery this week and have forgotten to put it in my gym bag so have really not used it for the past two weeks.

    in Heart Rate Monitors Comment by faymom January 2010
  • My heart rate monitor tells me 800 calories but i am considered "obese" and my personal trainer says that overweight people will burn more calories than a "fit" person because the overweight person has to work harder to do the same moves.

  • Hi! New to this site. Have friends who swear by it. Got my second personal trainer last Wednesday. She has me on HIGH protein, LOW carbs, and WATER. Hard for a carb-oh-holic. Yikes. Sunday had two hot dogs on a bun with chili. Yikes. It was convenient. And I didn't do food diary on Saturday or Sunday. Yikes again. So…
