I just don't understand what goes through some people's heads! That's awful. Definitely in my prayers.

polar is the best HRM, i think too... but it isn't for wearing all day. it only is for when you exercise. if you want one to wear all day look into "Body Bugg" it's more expensive and you have to have a subscription to access their website i think for your information. not sure. i love my polar though!

I'm 5'5" with a goal weight of 122 right now. But I don't know... I could definitely change that. I currently weigh 134.5 and just want to lose a little in my stomach and thighs... so it more depends on how I fit in my clothes and how comfortable I am with my body than the number on the scale. I know under 130 though.

I want to get a lotus [my user pic] because of what it represents. If you google it you will find a better explanation but basically, they start off at the bottom of the pond and grow through the mud and all kinds of crap before emerging as a beautiful flower at the top. So it is a beautiful representation of triumph and…

Yeah I have a Polar FT7 and it consistently tells me 100-200 calories LESS than the elliptical or treadmill for an hour. But on the other hand, it gives me a much higher number than the number I was estimating for my spinning and kickboxing and kettle classes! :)
-
I got a red women's Polar FT7 from amazon.com it was the cheapest place to buy it (besides ebay.. didn't check there) and it works perfectly! and you can change the battery yourself, unlike some others where you have to send them in :)

Just got one last week --- a POLAR FT7 --- and I LOVE IT. Revolutionized my work outs. I was underestimating my gym classes (Turbo Kick, Spinning, Kettle Bell) by hundreds and overestimating my elliptical by the same!
-
HONESTLY I would recommend getting a Heart-Rate Monitor. I just got mine and I LOVE it. I was underestimating the calorie burn for classes I took at the gym (Turbo Kick, Kettle, Spinning) but overestimating the treadmill and elliptical - even when I plugged my weight and age into the elliptical, it overestimated my…

Faster. A lot of it depends on your metabolism, many factors of which MFP doesn't take into... like muscle mass for example increases your metabolism but other things like stress can decrease your metabolism. Also, a lot of the exercise calories on MFP are incorrect or variable. :)

The cause of death for most (if not all) of the sudden death high school athletes is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - often from an enlarged or thickened heart. The condition is genetic partially and relatively common. I think schools should start making sure athletes get checked out FULLY before playing sports - doctors CAN…

Bump!

bump. :)

rates above 100 are abnormal for resting heart rate.. tachycardia. it could be because of the meds or for something else. i would go to your family doctor to check it out. it could be because of stress, caffeine, meds, etc... but you should check out just to be safe!

I'm going to be doing Tuesday, Friday, Sunday. I know it's random but I have other gym classes on the other days that I go to. :) Good luck all!!

Ah! I just posted earlier today I was starting C25K this week! Count me in. :)

body fat percentage done by a professional is a much better way to assess your body mass/fat/weight health as opposed to bmi. like people said, bmi doesn't appreciate the difference between a pound of healthy muscle and a pound of unhealthy fat.

My favorites: 1. Community 2. South Park 3. Friends (yeah I know it's not current, but I have all 10 seasons and still LOVE it!)

try to exercise while keeping your calorie intake the same (don't cut calories much, if at all). especially lifting weights mixed with cardio. this will keep your muscles and even tone them, therefore burning fat! :)

I'm obsessed with this smoothie I make.. It has three cups of spinach leaves (fresh, raw) in it. You can't taste the spinach I PROMISE but it's a great way to sneak in some nutrition and make your smoothies thicker, albeit greener too. 1 banana 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or vanilla soy milk) 1 small activia…

I try to eat fruits and drink a lot of water the day after a splurge. I also don't ever think "Oh man I ruined my diet this morning/lunch/evening... so I might as well just ruin it for the rest of the day/week and eat all this other stuff." I end the splurge as soon as possible and then move on! Drink water, do some light…

this is my order: -face -arms -breasts -legs/butt -stomach UNFORTUNATELY the only weight i want to lose is in my stomach and thighs. GRRR. people always notice my weight loss quickly by looking at my face since that's where i show it first. i wish we could pick and choose!! hahaha oh well.
