This paragraph is full of success! You're exercising, and logging and seeing the results of the two. Okay so here's my question: What does your week look like in terms of exercise? Are you still doing P90x, c25k and lifting? You're sleeping.. that's good.. but what about rest days? If you're "eating not so good stuff" then…

Stewed chicken and sweet potatoes (and other veggies) over quinoa. Thanksgiving Pizza. Roasted Sweet Potato, butternut squash, red onion and very thinly sliced red potatoes with mozzarella and ricotta. Lemon layer cake with a mixed berry crumb topping and mascarpone frosting. Brie and fruit and a salad with honey crisp…

I'd say try a dry shampoo. I really like got2b personally, but there's lots available.

If its part of your regular routine, I wouldn't log it. Much like I wouldn't log house cleaning, if I don't break a sweat, I don't log it.

I picked one up on the cheap from a local shop. I think it was only $50.. But it was 6 years ago... Never used it for kids, just the groceries and the dog. (I had no car)

I was told "No Deadlifts." When I switched jobs last year my new Health insurance had a deal with Gold's where I now pay $30/mo. I had been doing the $20 PF membership so I went for it.. I don't know what else they don't allow, but if you can do what you need to, it's not a horrible gym.

Before I hit he 20 lbs mark I'd lost a cup size. I went from C->B (in what felt like overnight!) Damn that boob stealing gnome.

.5 is a lot? If my math is right that's 2.5%

I don't think 450 is too high, I was 175 (5"6') when I got my hrm and I was seeing +400 for 55 mins often at first. Now (at 156-158) I'm getting 300-370 for the same workout.

You should A. Get glasses B. Learn how to decrease your screen resolution and/or C. Turn off caps lock.

Yeah, What you're describing sounds like an activity monitor, not a HRM. Nike Fuelband, Jawbone UP, Fit Bit, Body media and Bodybugg are a few examples of what's on the market.

Actually High Reps = Endurance. Endurance ≠ Lean (Really, the words are not interchangeable.) High Rep training might produce gains in muscle, but they would be less than a program with, say 8 reps (One study cites 5% differences in the two programs for muscle and 16% difference in 1 rep max, with a 8 rep program winning…

Muscles can't lengthen, they are attached to the bone at a fixed point. Unless we're going to some scary yoga class where we are surgically de-attaching muscle from the bone then re-attching it at a different point, then Yoga won't do it.

Sorry ladies, from exrx.net Spot Reduction Myth Contrary to what the infomercials suggest there is no such thing as spot reduction. Fat is lost throughout the body in a pattern dependent upon genetics, sex (hormones), and age. Overall body fat must be reduced to lose fat in any particular area. Although fat is lost or…

Body Media does not make a heart rate monitor. These are activity monitors and are not the same class of device.

Try just logging it as circuit training if you don't have an HRM.

I don't know that there are any good ones that don't have a chest strap. Most of the products on the market with out a chest strap are activity monitors, which are distinctly different than a heart rate monitor.

There is a NROLFW group on here somewhere.. Edit: Found it! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/102-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-nrol4w

Folks should also check with their health insurance, sometimes they will have reward programs with gyms. My health insurance company had a partnership with Gold's Gym discounts me about $10/mo.

DOMS (or lack there of) is not necessarily indicative of a workouts effectiveness. As far as reps goes, I like the 8-12 range. If I can't do 8 it's too much weight. If I do more than 12, then I need to up my weight. If I can do 15 @ 50lbs but can't do 8 @55 then I drop back down and work slower on the lift.

I have a website dedicated to this holiday: http://3.14159265.com I <3 March 14th

I've done Body Pump at my gym and it's been anywhere between 450-550 cal/h. I don't know what the home dvds are like compared to a class, or if your burn is like mine. I'd suggest a HRM if you want more accurate data.

I do believe the user can change the battery on the FT4, though Polar recommends you have them do it. The transmitters water seal might be compromised if you DIY.
