  • How are your clothes fitting? I was working out for a while and lost absolutely nothing but my clothes fit better. I was advised that I was building muscle in place of the fat. If you have a pound of muscle and a pound of fat, they will weigh the same but the muscle is heavier and leaner than the fat so the scale didn't…

  • I was extremely skeptical about the Skechers Shape Ups but... I have tried almost every shoe on the market and have yet to find one as comfortable as these. While I having been wearing them long enough or often enough to know whether they change your body appearance, I can say that my back feels better and my posture…

    in Sporatic HRM Comment by LilBrat71 April 2011
  • Hi There! Thank you. That makes me feel a little better. I tend to worry needlessly sometimes but it's just my nature. I've been doing the same regimen for over a week 2 x per day and have never had a reading in excess of 132. Today, it spiked to 152 and then to 202. It literally read "118" one second and "202" the next…

    in Hi. I'm new. Comment by LilBrat71 April 2011
  • Hi There! I'm looking to lose approx. 54 lbs. to get down to 140. :O) I'm a little older than you (39) but am also married with 2 girls, 5 dogs and 2 cats. Feel free to add me so that we may motivate each other to get to our common goal weight :) Best of luck to you!
    in LOOKING FOR A FEW MORE LIKE ME! Comment by LilBrat71 April 2011
  • "I see people saying this all the time and it is dead wrong. If I asked you what weighed more, lead or feathers? What would you say? I suppose you would say they both weigh the same but one is denser? Your point is only valid if someone says, what weighs more, a pound of muscle or a pound of fat." So she was correct,…

    in seeing my additude changing Comment by LilBrat71 April 2011
  • I've wondered this myself and was told that muscle weighs more. So, if you're building muscle, the scale may not go down. I was told to go by how I feel and how my clothes are fitting. Hope this offers some encouragement. Don't give up! Go look in some of the message boards at before and after photos - I do that when I'm…

  • I purchased one without the chest strap and found it to be inaccurate. I returned it, went to sports authority and purchased one with the chest strap. It seems to be more accurate.
    in Question about heart rate monitor Comment by LilBrat71 April 2011
  • Me too!!! I have never been comfortable in a bathing suit. I've heard many women say they are in better shape in their 40's than they were when they were 21. I'm hoping to say that soon! :O) Best of luck to you. Feel free to send me a friend request ~ we can keep each other motivated :)

    in Don't like exercising? Comment by LilBrat71 April 2011
  • Yes, small kicks and side steps. I guess it all depends on how much space you have. She does say however that as long as you keep walking to the music, you are getting a good workout. So, even if you just do a small side kick when prompted or simply walk in place, I'm sure it will work for you. You're still getting your…

  • Hi There! I had a very unfortunate incident a few years ago and was given meds in the ER that I was allergic to... ended up on life support for 3 days. I battled panic attacks for 4 years, convinced myself every single day that I was "dying again", sought more therapy that I would like to admit and just recently learned…

  • This post hit me hard as I recently ended a 15 year relationship of convenience. While my children were not biologically his, he was the only father they knew. He came into our lives when they were only 2 weeks old and 2 years old. I spent many years contemplating separation as I knew I wasn't in love with him but I didn't…
