I'm not a runner or anything but I'm doing Chalene Extreme so I thought I'd just post what I knew about it for ya. I'm on the Burn Phase (1st month) and there are 2 rest days, 3 weight work outs that are around 35-40 mins. There's a cardio day, recharge day (flexibility),10 mins abs. (After that is Push Phase, Lean Phase,…

Mine does this too. I put new batteries in it and it still happens. I can't tighten the strap anymore it's as small as it goes and it's pretty snug. I do wash my strap after every use (with soap under the tap) then towel dry it. I purchased it from a woman who said she had not used it more than 4 times. When I got it she…

Ladybug same thing happens with mine. I wash mine after each use and I still get dead or even some CRAZY high readings. So I'm not sure why that happens. It can be frustrating though.

I'm late w a reply! BUT I don't know if you know that CBC streams games on their website. :) I'm in Ontario now so I don't get the Montreal games as much BUT I usually find them online streaming somewhere!! If you'd like the info just msg me! :)

Although the last few games have had a bad odour...I'm a Habs fan thru and thru. :drinker: GO HABS! Price, Cammy & Pk are my fav players.

I didn't realize mine was as well! LOL :blushing: I don't mind making my profile public but for some reason I don't really wanna show my food diary...!? :ohwell:

Great stuff everyone :happy: :flowerforyou:

I like Kashi Go Lean :) (stickin to this one lately) I like Smart Ones Breakfast Burrito :) Oatmeal Fresh raspberries on the cereal is good. :) I've gotta find this Laughing cow cheese !! I love cheese but have had to cut it back alot and that is a bummer!

Thanks everyone for the opinions. :) That does help me alot. I did a switch between Sed and Light to see what the calorie dif is and it's only 120 cals :) Just some days I'm still feeling hungry...but I am starting to realize it's because of the type of food I ingest lol. Need to eat more nutritiously! I'm adding more…

LOL sorry...I didn't mean to make your topic about ME! :D I was just so bummed about it. I still have 6 days to go so maybe the magic will happen. ;) I would recommend this workout for sure. Just not crazy about Ms Jillian. I'd rather listen to Chalene for sure. :) Best of luck!

Exercise was foreign to me up until lately...well...I did do some for around 6 mos or so when I quit smoking 10 years ago but since I've been pretty sedentary. Anyway, although I loved this workout (not so much Miss Jillian just the workout) I'm disappointed with the results. Granted I'm not trying to lose weight (I'm 5'4…

my fav snack is a couple tablespoons salsa with a couple tablespoons of low fat cottage cheese and thin Triscuits! Delish! (10 thin triscuits have 90 cals!)

Thanks! Seems to jive with what my heart rate monitor says too. :) Nice to have reassurance. :)

I'm on lvl1 day 5 (in a row...really day 7 but didn't realize I had to do it 10 days in a row so I'm day 5 in a row lol). It is kickin my butt too. I'm realllly out of shape. I can't use 3lbs on the squat/press. I use cans instead at 1lb each. I did notice today was better stamina wise! :smile:

I have never used artificial sweetners but decided to try it out in my morning tea to save a few calories. Here in Canada cyclamate is available so I purchased a box and tried it out the following day. It tasted fine but it immediately did some odd stuff to my tummy. I was bloated and felt awful so that was the last time I…

Thanks Jim! I thought so but I wanted to make sure! :smile: Newbies eh? :wink: I appreciate the reply...I'll sleep better now hehe. Thanks again :flowerforyou:

even a peep would be good! lol

Is it possible that the counter/burner part only works with the pedometer? I know nothing about HRM's so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this thing is made for walker/runners. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

Thanks for this post! I'm eating more now than I ever did in my life (I'm 45) and I am frustrated that my weight went up after 3 weeks of daily exercise and calorie watch. No change in the inches and an up on the scale. When I first started logging here it was telling me I was not eating enough so I thought OK I'll do more…
