I have a Polar, too and my HR gets really high while I'm exercising, and in the 60's while resting. As high as 189 isn't unusual, it's pretty normal for me. Even as high as 92. I"m 44, so that's way higher than that standard 220 - age=MHR. For me, that would be 178 for max. LOL...um, no. I can burn 650+ in an hour when I'm…

Third time, fourth time, this time, last time...I"ve been there, too! But, you're here!! :happy: I don't have a lot of useful info, but I do know that using your own bodywieght as resistance can be plenty. Lunges, squats, push ups, planks. tricep dips are all things I can think of off the top of my head that you can do at…

I have 2 pairs of mens Lg sweat pants that I wear. (I could probably wear a S or M) They are SO comfy. Womens fit me, but they're cut to flatter and sometimes I don't want all that clingy stuff on me. AND definately nothing tight at ALL around my waist. The mens sweats are loose and have elastic at the ankle, which I…

I purchased a Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Watch from Amazon almost 2 years ago. It's listed as $75.99 right now. It's a watch with a chest strap. I really like it. No issues, unless you want to get picky. I had a hard time replacing the battery in the watch for the first time. That's it. I also have a BodyMedia Link that…

I think I'm in the minority here:laugh: I wash my hair everyday IF I workout. If I"m not working out, AND I'm staying home, I'll just wet it so I dont have rock-star-morning-bed-head all day. BUt shampoo?? Yep, because I literally drip sweat, and it just feels gross. My hair is short, straight and basically normal...not…

Wow!! You look great!!! Congrats :happy: Love the haircut, too :smile:

That sounds really good!!! I've seen the Neufchatel Cheese aroud here, but I live in upstate NY. I see lots of potential for this recipe :-) Thanks for sharing :-)

My kids haven't been the victim of a bully. But I remember telling them when they were in 2nd grade, after discussing this topic in school, that they first should find an adult. If they can't, tell the bully to stop in a loud and clear voice, not giggly and quiet. If that doesn't work, try to move away from the bully. If…

I'll give it a try. I'm trying hard to get in more veggies, and this might be something that I'll actually enjoy :laugh: THANKS!!!

I"d LOVE to have a good fitting bra!!! Trying on bras is like trying on jeans, for me, anyway. :laugh: Walk in with 10+ and hopefully find 1 that fits correctly. Someone should tape me...I'm sure the sounds and faces I make would be worthy of America's Funniest... I get the underarm side bulge. So, I"m sure I need a…

44 Years old. I"m In better shape now than when I was in my 20's or 30's, but also weighing more! I know I have more muscle now...but I also know all the extra weight is NOT miuscle. Wish I would have decided to DO more when I was younger. Who knew exercise could be...........fun ??:laugh:

I'm 44 and regularly wear my HRM while working out. When it's really intense, my HR is around 184. Sometimes higher. During an hour class, there are days that my average HR is in the 160's. According to those chatrs, my max HR should be 176..I've been checked out by several Dr's and exercise physiologists and that's just…

Just for today...I"m done eating and my diary is closed!. Just for today, I logged ALL my food. Just for today, I"m happy with those 2 things :smile:

What a success story!! You look awesome!! I seem to be forever stuck at 163-165. Lose some, gain some, but darn if I can break through and get lower. I'm not pushing myself, and I know it. Seeing your story gives me hope that I CAN do it. I won't be stuck here forever. LOL...Jillian Michaels is Ms. Meanie Teenie Pants.

LOVE my short hair! But I think I have a funny shaped head since every headband I find in stores slides back and eventually just falls off. Even the ones with the strips to prevent slipping ;-( I roll a banadana into a headband and that seems to work the best, even though it DOES shift around during my workouts. Sorry, I…

I wore braces for years, and they did Xrays and found that my wisdom teeth were starting to affect my teeth. Either remove them, or wear braces again. LOL...all 4 of mine were impacted. They had to dislocate my jaw to get them out. I was SO swollen and in pain, I didn't care about food for days. Soft foods will be…

Carol? Wow. Hope they don't bump her off. I like her. There's not a lot of the original cast left. I doubt they'll get rid of Carol and Glen (hope they don't)

WooHoo!! Best part of Sunday :-)

Losing 50# is friggin awesome! We...ok...ME...lose, gain, maintain, lose. It's a rollercoaster. If it was easy...we would all be at our ideal weight. I don't like that we struggle and sometimes it's so damn hard, but seeing your post, and those like it, make me feel better about my struggles. I'm not alone in this. We're…

I sweat a LOT!! I look like I stepped out of the shower. It's rolling down my eyebrows, down my back. I have a pond around my place in class :blushing: During yesterdays kickboxing class...my whole body was glistening. We were doing presses laying on a cage bag, when i stood up, sweat ran out of my ear. My arms and legs…
-
LOL...sports drink commercial:laugh: My T-shirt looks like I put it on WET, and sweat literally drips off my nose, chin, etc. I end up with a pond in my little area :laugh: I have that same issue and I thought it was just my sweat and maybe something I had on my face. BUT...maybe it's from my hair? Maybe some gel or spray…

:bigsmile: That IS awesome! I was with DD2 and she had asked for something FULL of sugar. I told her no and she asked why. I told her all that sugar would just rot her brain, and she didn't need it. The guy next to us couldn't help but laugh. I've talked about healthy eating since they were little. Now as teenagers,…

You look great! Kickboxing will definately tone you all over, especially if you can actually kick and hit the pads :bigsmile:

I"m 43 and still love them. Pure orange sugar bliss! Although, they're much better when they're stale!! I eat frosting right out of the tub. Ya know, just occasionally, when it's in the fridge, calling my name.

LOL...you said you did this on a whim and didn't really train? And you finished a 5K?? That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Says a lot about your determination and definately stepping out of your comfort zone, challenging yourself and SUCCEEDING :bigsmile: Just freakin awesome!
