Polar has a model that just works with an app with or without the wristband.

Right there with ya! I was 10 pounds from my goal weight last May & between the loss of my dad & my job of 15 years lets just say I was enjoying lots of adult beverages & gained 20 pounds back! Got back on the wagon 12/31/13 because I'm so much happier in every aspect of my life if I'm eating better & exercising. Opened up…

Agree! :laugh:

I like to hit the local market & get in season veggies!!!!! You can find a million recipes for anything & whatever level of food preparation you have or desire to put into the task. I personally love a challenge & Pinterest for new veggies or fruits I haven't used.

HR monitors have to be better than MFP estimates. I'm obsessed with mine & I think it's a wonderful motivator!

SW OH here! Eagles....... I guess it's better than the Steelers! ;) I need more friends too!

I didn't realize how off MFP is with exercise until I got my HR monitor. :) Depends on the day & how hungry I am. I usually have 1 higher calorie day when I splurge for things I didn't eat all week!

I get the opposite. Yesterday the elliptical was about 10-20 calories off with machine higher and MFP was 70 calories higher. I always go with the HRM.

Great job!!!!!! I love Jillian! I did the 6 week AB program & lost 22 pounds & 3 inches in my arms & hips! Doing the 90 day Body Revolution now only starting week 3 tomorrow, keep you posted! :wink:

I lost 37 pounds by May of 2013 with 10 pounds until goal. On May 9th my father drowned and June 25th I lost my job of 15.5 years. Needless to say I am back on week 3 to lose the 20 I gained during my life lows. Beer too was a close friend! It's hard but can be done. Coming onto a year since my father pasted I want to be…

4'11 but I lie & say 5'0 SW:179 CW:165 GW:130 -eating about 1500 calories daily & doing at least 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week. Just started Jillian Michaels Body Rev last Thursday! Also love kickboxing. I need some Yoga in my life though!

Beer or wine. I have to earn it! :tongue:

I quit 3 years ago and every time I wanted one, I cleaned something. Sounds crazy but from dressers to closets to the attic whatever I had been ignoring or didn't want to deal with I finally took care of it. In time the urge passes. I smoked outside so it being really cold helped too!

Eating everything in moderation & as silly as it sounds taking 20 minutes to eat a meal. Most the time I don't finish the serving size I have, instead of killing it & getting 2nds.

Bahahaha. Very funny! Me too, dropping all the previous "diet" rules I normally follow for a new moderation approach. I'm not going without, it doesn't work! Enjoy your ride!

I started Jillian's Body Revolution last Thursday so tomorrow is my 7th Rest Day & I'm going to do Tae Bo to keep the motivation up! I love this program so far, are you doing the same program? I'm watching calories but not following her diet plan, she eats too many weird things for me! Wishing you well on your journey, I…
