Bump for later!

Before I got my heart rate monitor, I adjusted the calorie burn by subtracting 100-150 calories. I've had my heart rate monitor for almost 7 mths, and have found I was right on target - MFP over estimates by about that much!

I soooo needed this today! I was feeling annoyed that I have "only" lost about 30 pounds in a year through cardio and some serious strength training. I needed a reality check to remind me that I'm stronger and leaner than I was when I lost 40 pounds 5 years ago. Thank you!!! :)

I have the Polar FT4 and love it!!!! :) I ordered it off of Amazon and it was only about $60. http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Purple/dp/B005M1P85O

Wow great answer! Bumping for later once I hit maintenance!! :)

I understand where you are coming from. For the first 3 months of my weight loss journey I didn't lose a single damn pound. Not one. Talk about infuriating!!! But thankfully I was tracking my measurements and found that I had lost almost 15 inches during that time. The scale lies and does not accurately portray what is…

Wow... I definitely find this discouraging... Having said that, I am more motivated and working harder than I EVER have before to lose weight and get into shape. I sincerely hope all my hard work and the change in my mindset/diet/lifestyle will help me beat those odds!

I definitely understand what you mean! I am 5'1" and am right now at 172 after losing 11 pounds and 16 inches. When I first started my weight loss journey (for the 15th and last time!) people would say, "why are you trying to lose weight? you look good". I definitely appreciate their compliment, but at 183 pounds and as…

Bumping this for later! Just starting to use protein powders and it's a struggle to find one I can tolerate.

I wish I could help, but it's a question I have too! I use the recumbent bike for my cardio because I am having issues with my knees and hip and the treadmill is too hard on them. Hoping someone comments and gives us both some insight! :)

I am having the same issue, so I would love to know what others have to say!!

Hi! :) I'm 5'1" and weigh 178. I just joined MFP about 2 weeks ago to track my food like I used to do on WW, but I started my weight loss journey April 1st of this year at 183. I have only lost 5 pounds, but have lost over 14 inches! I know the scale shouldn't bother me too much, especially with all the inches I've lost,…
