It's t-shirt time again!!

I also have the Polar HRM with the chest strap and it is the best investment I have ever made. It might have been a little more expensive but I figured that my health was worth the investment! You also need to remember that as you lose weight, you go in and adjust your settings so that the readings are accurate. :)

Welcome and feel free to add me as well! I have 50 lbs to lose and the support on here is amazing...we will do it!

Also from Ottawa ON, GO SENS GO! :) Feel free to add me if you like.

Congratulations! Nothing like slipping on a piece of clothing you had tucked away "just in case". Well the time is now! Way to go and it will only continue to get better. :wink:

Happy anniversary!! Congratulations my friend! You have accomplished so much and you have always taken the time to help myself and many others as we continue on our lifestyle change journey. Cheers to you!!

I actually have the same HRM as you do and tend to burn roughly 330 cal in 30 minutes BUT my heart rate is a lot higher. On the days that I don't push myself as hard, I do notice that I burn approx what you did.

LOL! I loved this!! Thank you so much for sharing. I needed the laugh today :)

This is great! I was just saying that I wish I knew how to run. I am going to look at some of the suggestions from the other members and see what works for me. Thanks for posting the topic!!

Also here from Ottawa! Feel free to add me if you like!!

Thank you so much for posting this! Your start and goal weight are similar to mine. You carried your weight differently at 190 than I do :( but this is very inspiring! I don't know that I will lose that much in 8 months but this is going to make me work harder for sure! Congratulations on your success!!

I can totally relate! My ex of 10 yrs did the same thing. He used to tell me, if you lose weight then I will propose. Obviously something in me must have realized that he wasn't worth it because I didn't do anything about it at that time. When he broke up with me, he told me that I had gained weight since he met me and I…

I'm in! I should be getting mine any day now in the mail so I will start then. I am glad to see that people have had success with it! Can't wait to add it to my gym routine.

I have been here for about 90 days or so and in that time I have lost about 12 lbs. I am basically on par with how much you are losing. Some of my friends on MFP, who don't go to the gym as much as I do, have lost more weight but I am not going to let that get me down and neither should you! You are right, this is a…

Hyde I count myself lucky to be your friend both on MFP and off. You have been an inspiration to me and have truly shown me that we can make positive changes for ourselves. Thank you for all of your help and support that you have given me on my own journey and congratulations on your successes! You are amazing!!

I have the Polar FT6 and it is amazing. I always thought that I would have a problem with the chest strap but I actually forget that I have it on. It was very easy to set up and use and really was affordable. Hope you find one you like!

I'm in! Feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

I shut mine down as soon as I am done stretching after my workout. :smile:

Hi Callie! Eating healthy and working out will get you there in time. When I started tracking I realized that although I might have been eating relatively healthy, I wasn't eating often enough, putting my body into starvation mode. I also realized that I wasn't drinking enough water! Make sure that you drink plenty of…

Welcome! I have found that there is an amazing amount of support to be found on this site! I joined a while ago but really only started to use the site almost a month ago...so far so good!! Good luck and feel free to add me if you want more support!

Good luck! Weekends are also my hardest time because I find I eat breakfast too late, then don't eat lunch and I love to cook so I splurge when I have the time to do so. It will get easier! :smile:
