I don't happen to have a degree in mathematics, so I am not going to get into algorithms...here is what I know. I wear my HRM while doing cardio (yes, even HIIT) and strength training. I really could give two rats *kitten* as how accurate it is or is not. I use that information as a guide in determining my menu plan.…

Well thank you for that bit of information and to think that all this time I thought that I could just walk around and have people scare me or I could just hold my breath...lol So you are telling me that a HRM does not reflect calories burned while strength training? Please explain, because I am just not able to get my…

Since I am in the Army, being fit to me is being mission ready at all times...physically and mentally.

Really? HRMs are not accurate in relation to calories burned? Isn't it true that while you are strength training your heart rate is increased? Isn't it also true that raising your heart rate is what burns calories (beyond what your body requires to function)? When I strength train, my body is in a steady state of cardio.…

I woke up with Rocky?! Holy crap, what a night!!!

2 "clips" for your Glock?????? I am guessing you don't have a Glock or you would know that the thing that holds the bullets that you slide into the Glock is called a MAGAZINE!!!! Sorry, it just really gets to me when people do not use the correct terminology, that's all. Don't really mean to be a jerk...

I have been seriously working out for about 14 months. Yes, at times it can be extremely frustrating. Whether you are bulking, cutting or just starting to get into shape, you have to realize that it is a journey and you will have good results and some disappointing ones. In the end, you stick to it, keep at it and you will…

So what classifies someone as a "noob"?

Adopt a noob? I am adopting EVERYONE!!!!

First off, congrats on accomplishing your goal! Secondly, you look fantastic! All that being said, you and your husband are in a partnership for life, it is not realistic for you to just say, "oh, I am to emotional" and "I just do no matter what he thinks". You are not to emotional, you set and reached a goal and that joy…

GREAT FREAKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember, although getting support at home should be a given, you have started this journey for you...NOT HIM! That being said, continue to kick *kitten* and enjoy the ride!

Meaning why doesn't MFP calculate calories when you log strength training? It is because there are WAY to many variables when strength training to calculate caloric consumption. My advice would be to get a good HRM and let it track your caloric consumption based on you.

Seems easier to go out and get a Polar FT4 (this is what I use anyway) and let it track that for you...no calculations, no guessing.

Stay...but would depend if I had to compete with the dog...

Apparently question EVERYTHING about my whole life...

Take her to church to save that sassy mouth of hers! ;-)

I hope not...

go to a business meeting... crap! I didn't get that in fast enough, the person above me when I started this was in a suit coat. Sorry Suzie...go to Woodstock...

I always seem to get here at the wrong time...

NOT congratulate myself and DEFINITELY NOT repeat...

after wooing her with my words, she would absolutely be begging me to! ;-) Sorry, meant for Bunn. But sure to you too...

teach how to center a "selfie"...

1. MASH 2. Walking Dead 3. Criminal Minds 4. Law and Order: SVU 5. Cheers

Great, just what I needed...more pictures of me naked on the internet!

No one said anything about pictures...but only if you are in that pose! ;-)

I'd definitely stay...might not stay in place though....:-)

Nope...

Hmmmm...a pretty lady who calls herself "sinisterly"? Of course!!!

I might have bro...until I noticed the Seahawk tracker! LOL!

Measure and weight yourself once a week (no more often) on the same day and at the same time. Do it is the morning, it will be the most accurate at that time. Two weeks might not be enough time to notice a big change in weight, but you may notice your clothes fitting just a bit better. Keep at it and you will achieve the…
