So very true. Migraines, unfortunately, have become a regular part of my life. Everyone one of those triggers listed, more often than not cause me major pain!:sad: It is best to check with your doctor for any potenially serious problems that may be causing them. After spending lots of time (and money) with doctors and…

I just saw my math, or lack there of. 2300-500 is not equal to 1700, but rather 1800. (Note to self: reread and edit before posting) I have a polar f6, love it! I am wearing it continuously again today in exercise mode as I do all my normal daily activites and exercise. I just found these definitions too.... "BMR and RMR…

Darn, I just saw I put the wrong letters up there. I think I mean Finding my BMR and RMR with my HRM, nothing like adding confusion to my confusion.:blushing: I know we have all gone round round about eating and exercise calories and it's a learning curve for most of us. I'm still learning and experimenting about the…

Diet pop and other foods filled with aritficial sweeteners trigger my migraines.

Just ask to look at the bottle label next time you get the that. I'm not sure what dressing you get. I usually get the fat free honey mustard.

:laugh: :laugh: One of my friends did that and slept with it on the day/night before we were in another freind's wedding. It did work for her that day, her dressed zipped wihout sucking in! I'm sure she went back to original size the next day though, as that was all water weight. But hey sometimes we do some silly things…

First of all congrats on your weight loss! It's great to fit back into the smaller clothes we wore when we were smaller people! Lots of fat and calorie burning cardio is the best way to reduce the excess fat on your belly, and anywhere on your body. I'm not an nutrionist or expert, but I have heard a lot about reducing…

I have the f6, either one would be a great investment. I still haven't tried wearing it all day/night on a low activity day, but I'm planning to do so soon. I love wearing it during all my exercise I I know how many calories I really burned and then I know what to replenish my body with. Would be more accurate yet if I…

In short, you are pushing you're body too hard on way too little fuel. But to go more in depth... PLEASE READ topic "Newbies Please Read Me"!!:smile: These are the links that will help you understand the what's, how's and why's of healthy living, weight loss and lots of other helpful info as well.…

I just got two answers from the websites as well 23.5% and 25.25%. Not as big of difference as your numbers though. Let us know what the number at the Y is. I don't expect that these are super accurate online, but a rough estimate. I suppose if you want a truer number you might have to pay more for it. Maybe when I get…

Yep, I love pulling on my jeans WITHOUT jumping and buttoning my jeans without sucking in! (and now I can squeeze in to my thin sister's jeans, still more to lose before they look good, but I can get them ON. My goal is be able to share clothes with her again) Cheekbones? Wow, I haven't seen those in a few Years, now I…

I got the women's f6, the watch is pink and it came with a female chest strap (smaller than the regular) which if I recall is adjustable from 28-40 inches, (I'm not sure what the other sizes measurements are) plus it's stretchy. I thought the strap would bother me, but most of the time I forget it's on. Though it might…

Look how far you have come to being a healthier person, you and your family deserve a healthy, happy person. You already know that you CAN do this. We all have bad setbacks and may feel like throwing in the towel. But no matter how hard we hit the ground when we fall off the wagon, we always know that we can get back up…

I haven't had the pleasure of carrying a child yet, but I'm already preparing myself for what changes that preganacy and childbirth may bring. There are some women who are incredibly fortunate to bounce back to slim, tight bodies and bellys. But a majority of women's bodies are forever changed internally and externally. It…

Todays weight 174 Last weigh in 175.5 Challenge start weight 182 (Jan 1st weight 186) Goal weight by Memorial 172 (Goal weight by my birthday in October 150!)

I've only taken maybe 4-5 rest days since January 5th. And those days I have taken off were due to all day travel, being sick, and being too busy cleaning/painting/ finishing the basement. Yep, I can recall almost everyone of those non-exercise days . I'm trying to think of what day might be the next best day to take…

Glad to see you added fruits and veggies, in addition to watching your number of calories, watch where they come from. Try to eat most of your calories from "healthy" foods. Lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean meats and dairy, minimally processed foods.

Frozen fruits and veggies might not always be as healthy and nutrient rich as fresh, however if that's your best option then go for it. I keep our freezer stocked with lots of fruits and veggies. I try to buy fresh as often as possible, but as you mentioned it's nice to have frozen at hand and not worry about them going…

Wouldn't that mean that at 1965 you would maintain you weight? So if you cut back 500 cal at day to 1465 you would lose a pound a week? Or am I misunderstanding? I need to try wearing my hrm on a slow day and into the night, I have a feeling I'll rip the chest strap off sometime in the middle of the night too.

The polar f6 seems to be very popular and well liked, so that is what I have bought. I got a new one for about 85 on ebay, they have some on amazon too, as well at sporting goods stores. The f6 runs around $90-110. By the way, I LOVE my f6. I still need to try wearing it all day on a non exercise day just to see what my…

Cool site! I just did this quick body fat test. It says I'm at 23 1/2 %body fat. So even though I'm in the healthy range, I could certainly stand to lose more fat. I'd like to get down 25 more pounds to 150 lbs and 19% body fat. I don't mean to insult those of you who are at a "healthy BMI" and trying to lose weight. I…

This is a really interesting and helpful news story. It helps explain why it was tough for me to lose any pounds the first few weeks when I started my new exercise routine back in January. And I guess it IS better to keep up the exercise for a minimum of 35 minutes. I agree that ALL negative jabs at men,women, at anyone…

That is really great! It's so wonderful to hear about the success you are having. It is hard work and takes dedication to get healthier, keep up the great work. It's great motivation for yourself and the rest of us to see that weight loss and health Gain really is possible. Congrats!:flowerforyou: Have fun at the party too!

A suggested body fat test site from SharonB. Thanks! http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html

There are some gyms and fitness centers that will test this for you. They even had a tester at a exercise equipment store. I'd like to check myself. Back in the good ol days when I was 145, at 5'8" (tons of cardio and strength training) I was at 19%. Due to my weight (and flab) increase in the 5 years since then, I know I…

I second that. If you struggle with vitamins, then try having a bowl of Total cereal everyday. 3/4 cup of original Total plus 1/2 cup skim milk is about 150 calories and you load up on almost all of your vitmins and minerals, without an upset stomach. And with a healthy diet consisting of fuits and veggies, (more color and…
