No idea, but I am curios too. I also thought that the higher heart rate burned the fat. So I'll be checking back to see his explanation.

Bump.... I need to finish reading this later! :huh:

You look fabulous. You've inspired my to try the 30 day shred. I hope my results are as good as yours! Great Job!!! :drinker:

This weeks weigh in ..... 198.6lbs :happy:

That Dr. was a JERK! I hope you found a new one, lol. Are you really against a 4pm cup of tea or coffee? Some days I just have to have a little boost or I do the same thing, nap... then that screws up the rest of my night. Other days I'm ok, it's weird, but good luck. Let me know what works for ya :drinker:

1) Welcome to America were there is "Freedom of speech" . 2) It's EASIER to GAIN the weight !!! 3) WHY the HELL was she even on a FITNESS/DIET page in the first place????? :laugh:

This weeks weigh in 199.9 !!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

Weight for Monday, August 15th ... :flowerforyou: Have a great week everyone!!

August Challenge :happy: SW - 208.8 lbs - Today (Monday August 1) Week 1 - 204.6 lbs (Monday August 8) Week 2 - xxx lbs (Monday August 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (Monday August 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Monday August 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday September 1)

I can't wait to try this one. That's for sharing.

I want to run, I really do, but as of right now I'm still more of a walker. I will say that 4 weeks ago, at 210lbs, I started MFP and started walking 1 mile a day. That almost killed me! Today, I walked 3 miles with running 45sec every so often. So I'm working my way up (slowly, lol) to were I can be a "Runner". I feel…

I wear socks & my Asics running shoes. It puts me in an exercising calorie burning frame of mind. (but I do hate doing Zumba on carpet w/shoes)

I like the POLAR FT4, I got mine from Amazon. I use it walking out side, on the treadmill, Zumba etc... It's very user friendly, and I like the reviews it got. Gook luck. :happy:

Good job, you're looking good!! :flowerforyou:

YES!!! I'm starting to think it's harder to resist FOOD, than it was to quit smoking :grumble: I'm a non-smoker after 25 years of smoking, but all I think about is FOOD now!

ME TOO!!! 4 c-sections, 45yrs old, and an extra 50lbs does not make for a pretty tummy. After I burn off some of this fat, I'll def need help trying to TAME the POUCH!!!

OK, now I think I understand. It's reading my swimming AND my basic resting body calorie burn. So I CAN NOT count this reading as being accurate for today. I should only wear it DURING my exercise sessions!! :flowerforyou: Thanks guys. NOW.... how do I use it for when I'm at the pool (because I already have the chest strap…

I've read alot of reviews, and for the price (Amazon $52 & free shipping :happy: ) I really like the Polar FT4. I mainly bought it for Zumba & the pool. But I'm still really confused on if it's the right reading at the end of a day?? I hopw we both find out, lol. I would still suggest this one.

Welcome, I think you'll love it here. Everyone is supportive and very helpful. The more friends you have the more support you have. I've only belonged to MFP for about 3 weeks, I've lost 8.6lbs and I am learning new things every day. :flowerforyou:

That's fantastic and something to be proud of... Congratulations :flowerforyou:

For me when I see how much exercise I have to do to burn a certain amount of calories, it has totally changed how I eat. Once I see how many calories are in something like a large glazed donut (310), and I know how much effort I have put into my exercise, it's just not worth it. Its easier to not be as tempted with easy to…

You can do it, it is hard I wont lie to you, but you CAN do it. I have been smoke free for one year now, I smoked for 25yrs. I used "Chantix". I had no problems or side effects. Lots of gum and suckers, also anything to keep your hands busy. Each craving will be less intense as time goes by. Good luck, You can do…

Well I'm still kinda new myself. But I have found that the more friends you make on here, the more contagious the good energy is. If you would like we can figure this out together. I also have 60lbs to lose as my first goal. Good luck :flowerforyou:

Congratulations :flowerforyou: , I understand, we are in the same boat sister. This weigh in I was excited to lose 8lbs. :happy: And the MFP support is Contagious. Keep up the hard work, it's paying off!

They all sound yummy, cant wait to try some.

I understand completely. I have to admit I really need to get up early to exercise instead of trying to fit it in later in the day. But on the other hand, I was happy to double my usual calorie burn yesterday because I wanted pizza for dinner, lol. I do have a whole new respect for my food calorie to exercise ratio!

When I walked past my large glass patio door, saw my reflection, and didn't think it was me... but it was.
