I know it is frustrating. Just read the Polar book and attempt to get an accurate VO2MAX and set up the watch the best you can. i promise the HRM is better than a machine. You just have to get used it it. Also, only YOU know your limits...no bike or watch can tell you that. Good LUCK!

Believe me...I know it is depressing but the HRM is closer to the truth. The only way to make it more accurate is to calculate you VO2MAX score and put that in your settings. The HRM basically "assumes" you are a healthy person with a healthy VO2MAX. However if you are just starting and haven't exercised in a while you…

Yes! And it details what types of food you should eat based on your body, food lists and how to do all of the exercises! I love it.

Hi All, Is anyone also following the food/ recipe guide for the 30 day shred in Jillian's book. I know for me it has been tough to stick to a strict diet in her order. Anyone found an easier way to do it?

Oh. i started in Jan at 152. I am teetering bt 140 and 139 right now. I haven't taken my measurements but I will tonight!

Hi All! May I join? I noticed the shred doesn't start until the 15th. I have been doing it for a few days.

Is this Jillian's 30 day shred? if so I am on day 3 and would love to join!

I take topomax. My only side effects were tingling toes and fingers and not being able to taste carbonation. My doc said take potassium supplements or eat a banana or two a day. Hope this helps!

I love spin class! I try to go 2-3 times a week. I never log more than 500 on MFP however. It all depends on how much you over-exert yourself. Don't push yourself so hard that you feel like you are going to pass out. The nice thing is you can regulate your intensity and if you feel that a certain part of the class is too…

Ok. i have never done the buddy system. How should we start? Did everyone work out yesterday?

I am totally in! I have the same goal. I started in Jan wanting to lose 20-25. Let's kick that last 15 together! Has anyone hit a bit of a plateau and getting frustrated?

How does everyone feel about GNC Active Multivitamins? I know they aren't diet pills but do they help you feel better after working out??? Do you think they are necessary?

Thanks for the ideas! i am worried about lunch bc i have breakfast down and LOVe to cook so dinner is a highlight with a small great portion of proteins and new ways of cooking veggis. But I feel that even my lunches are low in calories but they are terrible for me.

It's ok honey bunches of oats! Don't get discouraged. Just don't beat yourself up and move forward. You looked beautiful this weekend!
