Don't have an answer, but I use a HRM and added 30 Day Shred to my exercises so I can record my actual calorie burn.

I use a Polar HRM and added 30 Day Shred to my exercises - that is the best way for me to get accurate calories burned.

I just completed Day 6 of level 1 and would love to get in with you all. Feel free to friend me if desired. The soreness does go away, but it took about 4-5 days for me. I plan to do 30 consecutive days because I don't want to be sore like that everytime I start back up. Good luck to everyone.

I just finished Day 6 of level 1 and was sore about the first 4 days. I am trying to do 30 consecutive days - planning to start Level 2 on Sunday. The soreness lasted several days for me, but I kept doing the workouts and it helped. Today just a little tender in the calf. Good luck to you (and me too)!!!

Welcome!!! May I suggest if you want accurate calories burned, invest in a good heart rate monitor. I found I was overestimating calories burned by going by the site (but everyone is different). Good luck in all your endeavors.

Welcome. Hope you will benefit from all the great things MFP has along with all the great people here offering encouragement and support!

Congrats on the job!!! WOOHOO for the weight loss. You are doing excellent. This site is awesome and MFPers will encourage you along your journey!! Rooting for you to get to your goal!!!

WOOHOO!!! Great job!

Excellent! You are doing great!

I also have the Polar FT4 and I love it. Realized I had been way overestimating calories with just the wrist HRM and with the chest strap, much more accurate. Researched a lot of HRM before my purchase and Polar is the name most recommended and reported most accurate. Good luck!

Awesome NSVs. You should be so proud of yourself. Yea, let the whole world think you are a personal trainer - great for you.

Have been doing Zumba at Curves since January and I love it. Have also tried the WII version and it is okay too. Also ordered the DVD's this weekend and should get them by the end of the week. I go to class and just let me fat wiggle and jiggle. Since I started, not so much to wiggle and jiggle anymore. Everybody is there…

Wonderful NSV and not small. We are all trying to change our lives to be healthier, happier, and in my case, smaller. Congratulations! Keep smiling and playing!

Just purchased mine this weekend and the first workout I did using it, I was astonished. I had just a watch and it really showed a much higher calorie burn than this one does. I have overestimated calories because of this and luckily I have been under calories so its okay. I am now going to use the Polar faithfully and use…

That is excellent. I am trying to cut back on Diet Dew, but cannot manage to give it up. You give me inspiration. I need to stop the diet soda and do all water, but so far, it's just a cut back. Thanks for the posting!

XLNT!!! I am trying very hard to get in the healthy range myself. Only about 4 lbs to healthy!! Congratulations and keep up the great work!

So glad to know I am not alone. Friends at work think I am crazy because I tell them I am addicted to this site. It is so helpful and the people are so encouraging that it makes this journey so much easier and FUN!!! I too stay on this site a lot more than I should, but man, addictions are hard!!! Everyone keep up the…

Welcome! This is a great site with lots of encouragement. Good luck on your journey.

Awesome!!! Keep up the great work.

Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing. You are an inspiration.

You are so right!! This is a great NSV. When you go without certain things for awhile, they do not taste the same. I love french fries and haven't had any real ones since before Jan 31 and now to even smell them turns my stomach. I still eat them baked though and LOVE THEM!!!

Awesome!!! Keep up the great work and congratulations for that great NSV!!!!

I use a HRM and added it to my exercises.

OMG!!! That is a huge difference. Keep up the awesome work!!

Wonderful!! Thanks for sharing. This is truly an inspiration.

Awesome!!!

Great job. Lifestyle change is what it's all about. Proud of you!!

You will love this site. I am addicted. Feel free to add me as well. Good luck!

Thanks for the post. You are truly an inspiration. You look awesome and should be very proud.
