I have a Polar A360 and I can monitor my heart rate with it through the wrist band. I got it second hand (never opened) on Amazon to replace a Polar Loop I had gotten there second hand also, which I passed on to my husband. I LOVE it and it keeps me motivated. You can choose your activity and track it and your heart rate…

Too soon to edit but I wanted to say, I love working out with weights too and Kettlebells are my favorite for the cardio and strength "all in one" workout.

I am 54 and working hard to lose another 30 pounds. I have lost 30 this year so far. I had a total hysterectomy for uterine cancer last summer which was a set back, then had pneumonia with asthma and bronchitis in Feb/March this year and felt like I had to start over again. I would love some new friends too if anyone would…

:laugh: That could have been a LOT worse!!

I hit a plateau and stopped eating all the exercise calories back. Also sometimes we overestimate on our daily activity too.

The more I think about it though the more I like it. :) It could mean to her she has a sweet life. LOL I guess my first thought was sad because I have been wounded so much! :/

Once my dog scratched me in mine. She likes to walk on her hind legs nd push me the way she wants me to go! LOL I used triple antibiotic.

Interesting. :) All depends upon perception, I guess. It also made me think about how we look at certain foods as good or bad.... If it was a coloring book I would love to color it! It was pretty! LOL Part of me wondered if people would judge her by it.... Personally I love all kinds of people, especially characters,…

katiegrieder, I don't know how I missed this post but thank you! I had actually been thinking about a wii. The cost is a bit much right now but maybe for Christmas. AND the post below where I said "amen to that" wasn't in response to you! LOL It looks like you said, "I don't work for Nintendo even though it sounds like it…

Many reasons. Food allergies are like food addictions and can cause intense cravings and even mood swings. I had 26 of them and lost a lot of weight on an allergy rotation diet. It was so extremely strict that I couldn't permanently stay on it. Then I gained a lot back due to fibro myalgia pain and several surgeries, plus…

I hadn't thought of that and I was hiking some steep trails today! I had a vision of impaling myself when I read your post! LOL I have some intermediate priced ones so I hope that doesn't happen! I think they would be great for older hikers to feel more secure. I was pretty happy with the extra calories burned.

My turned into a wattle when I lost weight before BUT I discovered I had chronic swollen glans from food allergies and it has shrunk since I am careful what I eat!

soft drinks, subs, lightening bugs

I noticed the same thing. I have a Polar F6HRM and it showed almost double calories burned on MFP than on the HRM. I started wondering if I had it set wrong or which to trust.

Minerals may help. Smoking depletes some of them too. I found this about Muscle Cramps/ charley horses....but the point is these minerals help the muscles. Cramps are also more likely to occur if your body is low in minerals like sodium, calcium, and potassium, which play critical roles in muscle function. Poor diet,…

Our bodies do have to adjust, so sometimes we plateau and build muscle then drop some more fat. It isn't always consistent. Don't give up. If we push ourselves too hard we get all those crazy destructive emotions and burn out. Be kind to yourself like you would someone else but keep going! I am really successful at losing…

Buffalo chicken tenders from Frisch's. I need to come up with a healthy version that has the flavor but not so much sodium and fat!

Mine made me eat until I threw up because he didn't want food wasted! I was 8 or 9. No wonder we have weight/food issues! <3

i know diet, as in quality foods, high nutrition, and gluten free, extra rest and less stress, help me. Too much exercise is bad and so is not enough, same with rest! <3 Hang in there!

Amen to that!

Hi Happy Trails! We have Virtual Active - American Northeast Hike which has Acadia National Park in Maine and Niagara Falls. We love it. We also have Singapore Gardens at Night Virtual Walks - Gardens at Night for indoor walking, treadmill and cycling workouts (2013) We just ordered more because we like them so much and we…

You have a handsome beard! (Like my husband's!)

Hello, xShreddx. :) I am going to a ministry school to strengthen my weak areas. I need to become stronger in Old Testament studies, among other things. I have been outreach for 7 years and now I keep finding myself in other areas. One of which is being part of a team ministry at an old church that had not been used for…

"Well I see you've gained all that weight back again!" Like I MEANT to do it!
