  • I bet it's not 100% accurate, but it's got to be pretty close. They have done enough studies and come up with the 65% to 75% to be the common ground for FAT BURNING ZONE for a reason. So, when you enter your age, gender, height and weight onto your HRM it already comes up with a number on where your heart rate should be at…

  • Simple explanation is: whatever you write, bump or any other word, when you are replying to a message it is posting a time/date stamp. Since you just wrote something and save it, it automatically saves the message as a new message; thus bump to the top of the list and the message has more viewing capability. So, no need to…
    in BUMP? Comment by asilva3111 May 2011
  • What I have been doing is making sure to keep my HRM (heart rate monitor) at a rate of 72-75% constantly. So, if I am walking on the treadmill between 2.8 and 3.2 mph and 5-6% incline, I can maintain that rate of 72-75% on my HRM; thus I am in the FAT BURNING ZONE for a constant 30-35 minutes and burn anywhere from 550-650…

  • You are probably just retaining a lot of water. The same thing happened to my wife last weekend. We went out for a movie and she thought she had been doing really good so she bought a single scoop of ice cream. Oh was she pissed the next morning; 2 lbs overnight. She lost them within 2 days. You should be back at your…

  • 63 lbs in 70 days! That's amazing man. That is a heck of an accomplishment. Keep up the good work! I have been on MFP for 25 days now and I have only achieved 18 lbs; I guess am gonna have to be more aggressive. Good Luck!

  • I bought the Sportline SX, which is the same as the Sportline 1010. The SX is sold only at WalMart, Target and KMart. I paid $48+tax for it. Works awesome. Brings the chest strap to keep constant reading. Set it up with your gender, age, weight and the activity level of exercise you wish, or Heart Rate Zone you wish. I set…

  • Also remember all the processed junk they have to put in those pouches so it doesn't go bad on the shelf. It makes your body work very hard to get rid of those processed foods. Take a can of StarKist Chunk Light tuna in water, 2 tbps of Mayo Low Fat Mayo and you have 230 calories total. Add wheat bread (typical 40-80…

  • I use Hellman's Low Fat Mayo with StarKist Chunk Light Tuna, 1tbsp of mayo is only 15 calories and 10 from fat. I use just 2 TBSP per can of tuna (5 oz) Keep the calorie count at 130 and 40 fat. Get some lettuce or spinach with either a low carb wheat tortilla and you can have 2 tortillas, 2 leafs of romaine lettuce and…

  • If you are looking for 'definition' then sure, that will help. But doing 25 push-ups will barely burn any calories. Get a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) with a chest band and keep on doing the elliptical. Make sure you keep your heart rate at around 72-75% for about 30 minutes and you would have burned close to 500 calories, and…
