Well, I used MFP to see what I could get away with and apparently not much LOL. I will just go back to what I was doing before which is trying to stay busy.

He put me on medication last year because my family has a history of high blood pressure and cholesterol. I guess the absence of other health issues is due to my working out.

My goal is to lose weight, tone and bulk up. I usually get on the bike to get my HR over 150 and sustain it. Then I do some TRX, which is quite difficult. I never got below 130 on TRX but if I do get near 130, I hop back on the bike to get my heart rate up again. If I am at 160, I'll take a break until I get into the 130s…

"Regardless of the type of movement involved, heart rate monitors may overestimate energy expenditure by as much as around 12 percent." 12% ain't bad, right?

I bought a Polar HRM because of this study: "Various studies utilizing different Polar heart rate monitors have demonstrated that the monitors are highly accurate at estimating energy expenditure when compared to the actual energy expenditures evaluated by indirect calorimetry -- a lab-based test that is considered the…

There is no preprogrammed activity on my HRM. I wear a cardiogram around my chest and it sends the data to my watch which displays the heart rate and calories burned. I assume that it can't be too erroneous if the data is from a cardiogram.

My heart rate has been roughly 75-80BMP since I got home from the gym.

I was working out for an hour at 150 BPM though. I also read that after an intense workout, your body continues to burn calories.

it's my understand they use your heartrate to determine calories burned.

I would never go over my allocated calories. I would be consuming the same amount calories during the week as I would if I were not 'overeating.'

Actually, I don't feel hungry after a hardcore workout. I am thirsty throughout the day but never hungry until the next day. I do not eat before working out. I workout in the morning and am never hungry in the early AM.

What I will do is follow MFP's suggestion and consume 2000 calories per day.

Why would I want to lose 1/2 a week?I originally has it set at 1.5 pounds but didn't feel like I could manage that so I went down to 1 pound a week. It suggested that I consume 2020 but I set it at 1900.

I don't do any cardio. I used to only do cardio until I jacked up my ankle so I've been exclusively doing HITT.

Fact is, that she has flabby arms, love handles and noticeable fat on her belly. From what I get from her post is that she works out a lot and cannot get to her ideal weight. I understand how frustrating that is and there are options. One of them is tickle lipo. I struggled with my love handles and belly fat even when I…

i have some advice for you... "Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." [/quote] Sounds like you should follow your own advice.

I sat behind a guy like you in biology class in highschool. I was 5'3" 130 lb and ran 5 miles a day. I was fit and strong and healthy with soft curves and yet he constantly told me that I needed to lose weight. Unfortunately, at that young age, I actually listened to him. If I could go beck now and tell him what I think of…

Thanks for explaining the differences. My main question is which is better overall for weight loss. I read that both are better. For example, anaerobic builds muscle and therefore increases your metabolism but aerobic burns more fat.

I hVe some pineapple, banana, green peas and A protein bar.

I only have about 30 minutes in the morning to work out.

No, it's not a lot. Like 2 bananas, couple of slices of pineapple and some green peas. I also add some celery and tomatoes in my tuna.
