So how am I supposed to calculate them? (Not being sarcastic) I did this about 2 years ago and I was successful but I never knew a true heart rate, I also use my fitbit for excerise purposes.

Oh I accurately log my food, I have had the treadclimber for about 1.5 years, I can exercise for an hour on it and it tells me that I have burned 800 calories, going the same speed it tells with the polar that I have burned 450 calories.

The treadclimber is a mix of an elliptical, stair climber and treadmill. I have used it for 4 days now and it shows the extreme difference. I list it as walking on the Polar but I know I am not really walking, I am using it in a different way but my HR does stay the same when I put them on the machine and the polar, I just…

Good Job!! :smile:

Don't beat yourself up. We all make slip ups. It's just part of human nature. Just try to do better tomorrow. If you feel like you need to do something about it then go for a short walk but a few chips shouldn't hurt your progress. Remember, tomorrow is another day! Hang in there!

Just know you are not alone, I struggle with it too. I've gained 10 pounds in the last month (10)!!! At September I weighed 218, by Oct 18th I weighed 200. On Oct 18th my aunt passed away, I was very close to her and this hurt badly, I turned to food for my comfort. My husband didn't know how to comfort me. He lost his dad…

Add me!

Feel free to add me! I'm a mom of 4, my sons are 20, 18 and 5 and my daughter is 16. I'm an emotional eater too but my cholesterol was high, heart disease runs in our family and I just don't want to have a heart attack, I figured that my life was worth more than the food that I was putting in my mouth.

You can add me :smile: I always down for new friends!!

You can add me! :smile: I love having new friends, I've been logging in and doing this thing for 33 days straight so far!

You can add me :)

You can add me!!

You can add me too

I'm in add me if you want. :)

I wish I knew because I am too. I am hoping that it's water weight gain. I hope this straightens out of you, I know how discouraging it can be. Hang in there.

You need to do it because you want to have a healthy lifestyle. No diabetes, no cholesterol problems, no joint pains. no shortness of breath. You need to do it because you want to live longer and you really want it! I can tell by the first sentence in your post. Good luck!

I do weigh everything that I eat and log it, I log the exercise that the bowflex gives me. I guess I am just exhausted at this point from using it an hour daily. It's rough, I have the resistance set at 3.0 the treadclimber only goes to 4.0. I don't know, I guess I am struggling with the price that I spent and how hard it…

What is the recipe builder? Is it a website?

I made spaghetti tonight, what I did was I bought lean meat for me, I cooked mine separate and that's where the weighing question came in at. I wasn't sure if I should use the cooked or uncooked hamburger meat for grams. It gets quiet exhausting cooking for 6 people and having to separate my food. I did it before, I can do…

You can add me! I can always use more friends! :)

I purchased it a week ago, I love mine, it does burn off the calories, I look like I've been in a swimming pool after an hour. I've lost 3 pounds this week. For me, only for me, the price tag was well worth it. I know for sure that it works for me.

That's awesome! You inspire me!

I don't track on fitbit I just use it as a tool to know how many steps I have taken. I mainly track on how many miles, and of course my treadclimber. It has to be almost accurate, I don't see how you can pay $2200.00 for something that isn't going to be beneficial. I've plugged every number in. Trust me, I look like I've…

When I did it a year ago I logged in for 153 days in a row. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months, I don't usually count housework at all. I only counted this because I was moving constantly for 90 minutes, I wouldn't count just regular cleaning. I also selected the light housework. I know I was successful last year not eating back…

I use my bowflex treadclimber, I know this one works, I look like I've been in a swimming pool after an hour, It has all of my info plugged in, so I know there's is correct. I used MFP a year ago and lost 30 pounds, I didn't have the bowflex then and I didn't eat back my calories.

I don't normally ever count housework at all, The only time I count things is if it is vigorous. I plugged in the moderate amount of cleaning for 90 mins and that is the calories it gave me, but the bowflex treadclimber I know it works. I did the MFP a year ago and lost 30 pounds in about 3 months but I wasn't eating back…

Ok MFP gives me 1340 calories a day, today I have already burned 1100, treadclimber and cleaning carpets, I am supposed to eat all of those back? Half? I'm just not sure. Thanks for replying.

Menopausal here! It is def. easier to put it on. I also broke my leg in 3 places so I used food as my comfort, I had to be non weight bearing for 3 months and then in a walking boot for 6 weeks and then physical therapy. I know how hard this is, I've worked out for the last 5 days on the treadclimber and my back is…
