I would definitely go with your elliptical reading. When I got my HRM, I found that the elliptical and free runners I was using only slightly over-calculated my calories burned (Like 10-20 calories off per 30 minutes). On the treadmill, however, I burn way more than the treadmill and MFP say I do.

I've heard of these and I know that a lot of women really love them! I, however, prefer just squatting down and peeing. Works great for me as long as you can get a very small amount of privacy! :)

I'm 5'6.5 and at 160 I was a size 6

bump for later. i'm off to work

I pop mine with my air popper, spray with olive oil cooking spray and then salt with either table salt of onion salt

True that eating at night does not cause weight gain, but a lot of people (I for one) wake up feeling bogged down and overall crappy if I eat late at night. Everyone is different.

Raw baby carrots and Jalepeno hummus! The raw carrot thing is new to me since I previously hated raw carrots.... Love them with the hummus though! Plus, the hummus I bought from Hy-Vee only has 35 calories/2 Tablespoons!

I have a bunch in my ears & cartilage, industrial, belly button and my septum which I love to death! I've been considering surface piercings on my chest, my nipples and a vertical hood piercing. I've turned into a big chicken as I've gotten older, though, so I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet.. I absolutely…

Exact same here! i'm interested to hear responses. I'm 20 years old, 5'7 and cannot stay under 140. I've been down to 138 but have been back up to 144ish for some time now

Thanks so much for the responses everyone! I am going to wait it out a couple of months and let my body "normalize" after coming off of my BC hormones. Something I have been reading about is women saying that their stomachs feel bloated, puffy and they gain more weight around their midsection with Paragard. This actually…

Through mutual friends of an ex-boyfriend and I =S and my best friend is engaged to his cousin! Small world

Thanks for the great info everyone! If anyone else has any experiences please feel free to share! I did have the Mirena for a year, gained 25 pounds (may or may not have been linked to Mirena) and had some killer cramps on one side almost like it was not positioned just right. So i'm a little weary to spend the money on…

bump! anyone else have an information to give me?

Has your period got any longer? And is the bleeding at least manageable?

I have just heard that the suction from the diva cup can dislodge the IUD when you remove the cup. Do you use the two together? Do you take your cup out any special way to prevent this?

@mybeach 9 Gorgeous!

@Melanie... 9! So pretty!

@lyssa 8 :)

Try eating a more nutrient dense/high protein cereal such as the Kashi Go Lean cereals. They have quite a few flavors that "have as much protein as an egg" and also have a lot more fiber than Cheerios and other kinds of cereal. I am always hungry, but Kashi cereals keep me full until lunch.

I'm 10 lbs. from my goal weight and went on a 30 minute run with my HRM last night and burned 343 calories. I guess it just depends. I would say that I am in pretty darn good shape but I still burned that much...

29?? :( haha 20.

@andrewsmom--32?

Haha this is gross & messed up but peanut butter, hands down.

I'm a hugeee cat lover & even I would say go ahead and declaw her. The procedure is way less invasive than it used to be and your kitty should be back to normal in no time.

I hear this allll the time! It is so annoying to me, especially since I don't consider it a "diet" at all. To me the word "diet" means a crazy fad diet that will never last. This is simply portion control and making healthier choices, nothing more, nothing less. I think most of the time (at least with my friends and…

I don't know much about protein shakes, but I do know that the one that I have tried so far is delicious. It's EAS Soy Protein in Chocolate. It's 180 calories per scoop with 20g protein. I mix one scoop of powder with 8 oz. water, 4 oz. unsweetened almond milk and a little (okay a lot) of instant coffee. I drink one every…

I have a question that maybe someone on this thread can answer. If I were to buy a HRM.. could I wear it for a full day to figure out how many calories I burn just on a normal day without exercise? To get a more accurate BMR?

I'm 5'7, started at 175 and am down to approximately 140. My goal weight is 129.9 just so I'm in the "120's" but the last ten pounds are proving themselves to be impossible to lose
