  • You know, I didn't even think shoe size could change. But I put on a pair of my wedges the other day, and they were falling off of me. So I'm thinking I did lose about a 1/2 size or so. Weird!
  • Celery seems to be a common one, and I'm gonna have to agree. Even peanut butter doesn't make it better. Brussel sprouts Mushrooms- I'm sorry I just can't get behind the idea of eating a fungus. Greek yogurt- I just don't like the texture. Instead I stick with low carb and low sugar yogurt that Kroger makes called…
  • I work at Kroger (grocery store) and we have a few Girl Scout troops selling them out front. I will have to find a way to politely decline when they ask me. If I have Thin Mints in front of me, I would eat the whole box! LOL.
  • Polar FT4 is where it's at! I got mine for Christmas and it works well for all my classes and circuit training. I am just happy to get a more accurate reading of calories burned, since it's hard to log things like Boot Camp in the MFP. The chest strap is adjustable, and there is a watch that goes with it - you chose the…
  • I just got one as well. I bought Just Dance 2014 and it's really fun. There's a mode called Just Sweat that is good for workouts. My fiance does the fitness games they have on there. I haven't tried those yet but it looks cool. I'm thinking the next game I will buy is Zumba Fitness world party. I have the other games for…
  • I bought the same heart rate monitor and used it for the first time last week. I did a high-intensity Cardio Circuit that my trainer set up. (We are doing a Biggest Loser competition at my gym, and I want to win! ) My workout was 1 hour, 20 minutes, and it said I burned like 743 calories by the end of it. I was shocked.…
  • I have the Polar FT4 , got it on Amazon. I love it. It has an adjustable strap and fits snugly right under your chest. I wear mine with a sports bra and t shirt over it. The strap is easy to use and you can put it on before you leave for the gym. Then it connects with the watch that tells your heart rate, and the calories…
  • Happiness What's your favorite season?
  • Finally saw The Hobbit-Desolation of Smaug a few weeks ago. I liked it better than the first one. Before that I saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and boy was it a pleasant surprise. The trailers did a crappy job of explaining the movie though. I just picked it on a whim because my out of town aunt wanted to go to a…
  • Fitbit is next on my list of things to buy. I have seen some reviews about it and can't wait to get one! :) So far my Polar Heart rate monitor is awesome! It tells me at the end of my workout how long I was in my target zone, and how many calories I burned. This was helpful because I did a Cardio Circuit that also had…
  • Forgive me, but what is a fitbit? I'm really new to all the fitness apps and equipment. Haha. My fiancé bought me a heart rate monitor for Christmas but I haven't used it yet. I'm sure that will be helpful for when I take my kickboxing/zumba classes too. I think the only machines that give you heart rate at my gym are the…
  • I'm new to this site. I had the app for about two months now, but just now realized duh- there's a website. :D So I thought I would post. My turning point was when A) my jeans were no longer fitting and instead of trying to lose weight I bought a bigger size, and B) getting engaged in September. That's probably really…
