If you are really concerned about it and want to keep track of calories burned a lot more accurately, purchase a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. The brand Polar makes some really nice ones.

Lots of debate on the fat burning zone as well.Your max hr should be 181.

Shouldn't be even close to 90% of your max hr if you entered everything in there and are really 41. You may have selected a fat burning mode which wants you to keep your hr in a certain "zone". There is a theory that you burn more fat at a slower speed. I don't know the specifics though. Also, many of those reading units…

I drink Southen Comfort and diet soda, like 70 cals, and for beer I drink Budweiser Select 55, 55 cals. The select tastes good, mgd 64 tastes more like beer though. I think both of them are about half the alcohol content of a regular lite beer so you won't get as buzzed.

Bump, wife loves sweets

I think threads like this make beginners feel overwhelmed and give up. My head is spinning.

Good job bud, you can see it in your face for sure.

Pretty much just eating till I was sick to my stomach every meal. Knowing I was full but eating more. I wasn't a sweets person, I loved real food and lots of it. Now, I am rarely hungry and always have calories to eat if I am. I would also drink at least a 2 liter of Pepsi everyday. I have switched to diet and am slowly…

I glace at it everyday after I wake up and go to the bathroom, but only log Wednesday's weight.

Misery loves company, but no one wants to only hear about one subject. Keep weight loss a part of your life, not your entire life.

I have tried them all including the gummies, my body just doesn't agree with them.

They always make me feel sick.

My wife and I use HRMs with chest straps . Mine is normally 30 to 40% more calories on the HTM than the machine says. My wife is 20% less than the machine says. I stay within my target heart rate the entire hour, she is normally struggling to. I am over 300 lbs and average 1900-2100 calories burned per hour.

8/2 Cw:210 (frustrating) Calories burned:2886 1800 at the gym, danced for about 2 hour straight at a wedding all sweaty, not sure how accurate mfp is on the numbers and I obviously didn't have my hrm on.

It is cold and won't quit raining in the northeastern US, I started 5 days of midnight shift last night and have a wedding to go to today. I am not going to be a happy camper. Off to the gym for this morning. Have a good day!

OK so day #1 Weight: 307.4 Calories burned:2026 SW:307.4 Goal:31 lbs

Lol thanks for the ideas, I think we are going to give the Flintstones a shot.

Wonder if it is hotter going in or coming out?

Thank you!

Seeing my wedding photos 2 weeks ago, the first full body shots of me in a long time. Seeing the success my brother and sister have had using mfp.
