[/quote] You're welcome! I had to take about 2 weeks off around Xmas time and I was shocked at how weak I was when I got back to the program. I thought I could just pick up where I left off, lifting the same amount of weight as my last workout. Wrong! The good news is it doesn't take very long at all to get back to where…

Thanks Bizco!! I used MFP for my calorie count and you are correct it is the lower calorie option. I appreciate the assistance very much!! Since you are really familiar with NROL4W I have another question for you. I am going to have some surgery starting next week and it is going to take me out of commission for a bare…

Everybody on here talks about MFP's cal burn being too high?? You don't think it calculates high?

Thanks everyone for the input. I really appreciate it. I flipped out at first but I will keep going and see what happens Cath: You eat better than I do - i stay within my calories but I have some "bad" stuff sometimes. Maybe my diet needs to be cleaner....I've noticed that I have had to increase my cardio intensity to get…

I pulled out my Polar HRM that I had purchased years ago and, of course, the battery was gone. When I contacted Polar and after checking around locally I had the same issues. I ended up buying a new one online inexpensively. I think the website was heart rate monitors USA or something close to that. I got the FT4 for…

I have the book and am on week 4 of the program. I'm 30ish lbs away from my ideal weight and I had the same questions. I thought I needed to lose most of my bodyfat before lifting. The general response "why wait". I am glad I didn't wait. My weight on the scale hasn't moved but I started measurements at the same time I…

You have to enter it under the cardio section for it to show any calories burned..........:happy:

I have PT4 and have had it for a few months. Originally my HRM was 100/200 cals less than my treadmill. Lately though, and I don't understand it, but I've noticed my HRM is running pretty close now with my treadmill??? I was just wondering to myself yesterday if my HRM is not working properly now. I was thinking about…

Hey, I just started lifting a couple of weeks ago myself so I'm not much help but do a search for a thread I just saw the other day. There is a thread called "Girls - How heavy do you lift? These ladies are rockin' it. They may be able to give you a little more advice. Good luck!

An HRM is based on your individual calculations and heart rate but I thought it interesting that I walked today at 4.0 for 30 minutes (no incline) and it was roughly 181 calories.....

Hi,I'm Lisa and I'm 47 years young. I live in North Carolina. I am currently doing a beginner program of weights 3X a week and cardio 2X week. As a beginner, I joined this group to gather as much information as possible from everyone to assist me in my goals (loose fat,gain muscle,tone, etc). I've been driving everybody I…

Saksgirl, you say that you stopped doing cardio, almonst. Are you already pretty lean and at your goal weight/size? I just recently started doing some weight traiining and I'm still prob 30/40 lbs overweight. I'm hoping to tone and maybe build some muscle to assist in my fat burn. I'm lifting heavy three days a week and…

Thanks everyone, you've given me some good feedback. I appreciate it.

Yes they are technically weight training dvds but I tend to feel like it is more of a cardio based workout. I can't do more than 5 lb weights and get through it I want to lift heavier weights but not sure how to get started on a good program.
