Wasn't able to get any workout in today.....Just was a very long day watching people around me do things the hard way....Finally got done for the day and I am mentally drained....Need sleep to recharge....

Now for the name - Yeah drawing a blank! I'm usually more creative than this... :blushing: Does anyone have a specific fun goal they are working towards ? i.e. big day coming up or something? [/quote We can do something with summer since thats coming.... How about "Spring Awakening"?

Here are my numbers for today Today 542 calories Total 542/3500 calories

Where is everybody?????

Hi Becky, I would like to join you all in this journey. I belong to another group that did this, but everybody seemed to go their own seperate ways. With that group we set a weekly goal of how many calories we wanted to burn. Most of us were shouting for 3500 calories, which equals 1 pound. I try to work out 5 to 6 days a…

I have the F6, Men's and it does ask for gender when you set up. I don't have a problem with the chest strap although I have it as small as I can get it to go. It is an elastic band so it expands easier. According to Polar, the watch batter should last about 2 years and it is recommended to be taken to a service center for…

Polar won't honor the warranty if it is bought on ebay or any other unauthorized dealer....

Yes it does come with a chest strap. when doing your research look at the tab that says what's in the box. If is says that it has a T31 coded transmitter it is the chest strap. You aren't being dense. I was the same way before I bought mine. I researched and asked opinions from many people before I settled on the F6.…

The only thing with buying it on Craigslist or Ebay is that Polar won't honor the warranty if something is wrong.

I agree. I did the same thing. I started with a Sportline from Walmart, used it for 2 months and I would get different readings everytime. I would do 30 day shred one day and burn 150 calories and then the next day doing the same exercise I would burn 400 calories. I invested in the F6 also and have been getting more…

I just bought a polar for about $110. I have seen a couple for about $60. They come with a chest strap. I had a Sportline that was given to me that is sold at Walmart for about $30. That one didn't have a chest strap. With the Sportline I got very different readings. I would burn 800 calories doing the 30 day shred and…

thanks....I noticed in the user's manual, it does tell you exactly where.

Hey all got a question....Since I just got my new Polar HRM, I was wondering where do I put the chest band? I'm a bit large in the chest area.

It could be stress that is holding you back...Are you getting enough sleep? Here is a link to an article I read on about.com about stress and weight.... http://stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/weightgain.htm

It does....I felt horrible almost immediately...I had and hour drive from where I had dinner to home and I burped the whole way home I felt like the girl from willy wonka that blew up and floated away....Good thing it didn't last very long came home popped my acidophilous and a digestive enzyme and I was feeling better the…

Hi Everyone, . Decided to test my gluten theory last night. I have been following a gluten free diet for 2 months now and yesterday was a gluten day to see if gluten is my life's hinderance. Sure enough it is my hinderance. So now I know I can't have any gluten.

Hi Everyone, I'm back....I was sidlined last week with a horrible case of allergies....My eyes are still burning. Got my new HRM the other day and tomorrow will be the first test. Decided to test my gluten theory last night. I have been following a gluten free diet for 2 months now and yesterday was a gluten day to see if…

Hi everyone, Been away this week with almost noo internet service.....Felt good to not be on the computer for a week....Anyway, Last week I blew my calories out of the water....I burned 8043 doing the 30 day shred and walking....Wasn't able to do much this week so far, Weather has cooperated and I haven't been feeling…

Hey Kim, Welcome back....I heard about that same study on the news the other night. I had the same reaction you did... Talk soon

I have been taking L-Carnitine liquid. I have been losing energy since I started a gluten free diet. It took about a month and everything started to kick in. I take a tablespoon in the morning(you can add it to your water) and work out for 1-2 hours a day. I was going to sleep around 2am and was getting up more tired than…

Hi Liz, I went throught the same issues as you. I had my gall bladder removed 3 years ago and have been having stomach issues since then. There were times that I swore that they re-routed my intestines so that everything just came straight out..lol. For the last year I have been dealing with sinus infections and all that…

Ok, I have been going back & forth on which to do. Which do you all reccommend Insanity or P90x?

ok I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I totally blew my goal out of the water (in a good way). I supposedly burned 5715 calories working out last week. That is 2700 more than my goal. I did pretty much the same exercises all week and I got different calorie burn readings. I have read some things about my HRM giving…

nice job Jennifer....Felt motivated too last night and walked around the mall for almost 3 hours....besides walking my 3 miles earlier in the day and doing my shred.....This warm weather is really making a difference and giving me the energy to keep going....

I have a Sportline...its an inexpensive one, but does the job. I have seen them at Walmart for $27. Mostly everybody here has a Polar, which I have yet to look into. I think somebody else can fill you in on it.

I never got the HRM thing until I got one myself and now I'm like a kid in a candy store...It makes me want to workout more!!!!

By the Way, her boyfriend is supporting this stupid idea. He's the one running her website and even has posted pictures of her in a bikini....all 600 something pounds of her......

She knows its dangerous but she can't understand "why you can't be fat and healthy????"

She also has a website and is looking for donations to help pay for her grocery bills!!!!!!
