Thanks for all the replies everyone. :) I don't have time to respond individually but I have read them all and appreciate all the advice!

Well I know why no one understands the accuracy of HRMs. The articles are confusing. ._. Or maybe I'm just really overtired. Either way... normal people explanation please?! I literally know nothing about my body. More calories out than in is how you lose weight, but beyond that.. I'm a dummy.

Can someone explain why some of you are so against HRMs o.o I thought they were good?!

It's obviously not ALL uphill but I live at the lowest point, and the downhill stretch is steep & nowhere near as long as the uphill ride.

hahaha this is such a logical plan. literally I just have to go right out of my driveway instead of left............ same thirteen miles with a little less kill-me-now :glasses:

I'm just going to stick to my 1200 cals today. My HRM is never that far off from runkeeper, and I don't want to go over accidentally having no idea what I burned. And it wasn't a down and back haha. I live on an island and went all the way around. All uphill, all the way. :D (The :D is complete sarcasm. I freaking hate…

If it helps your understanding, I'm pretty much the worst bicyclist on earth. It took me two hours to do 13 miles (in my defense, it was all uphill!), and my heart rate was at 170-180bpm for nearly the entire time. My brother was with me and complained he could have done it in 50min. Ouch.

Okay.. cool! Thanks so much! If there's anyone that knows, it's most definitely you! :) P.S. You've got me downloading Endmondo!

Everybody's just seriously uptight, apparently. Quite a few people PMed me to say it was funny though!

I know what the adage means but... I don't know how it applies to my thread...

My boyfriend isn't deployed but he's been out of state for more than a year studying medical stuff for the army. :( Going to add you.

I'm going to send you a friend request :) You can do this! And I'm sure you'll have a ton of people right here to support you!

I typically have trouble controlling my hunger around that time as well... so I drink a TON of water and keep all unhealthy snacks out of the house. If you're going to go over on calories, it may as well be on fruits and veggies.

children who are protected or shielded from things that will be common later in life sometimes (often) tend to act out more than those with exposure because it's new and exciting.

DTF usually means "Down to f---," but I changed it to "Down to friend."

If not expecting the worst from people makes me naive, then naive I shall be. :)

^ haha props to you. I missed this scrolling through.

LOL I would like to retract my most recent statement regarding ulterior motives.

Ohh.

I know.. a guy without ulterior motives.. shocker, huh?

I had the perfect response gif but I have no idea how to put it on here...... sad life.

DOMS?
