great job!!!!!

Sadly the bell curve for women is rather wide and shallow, meaning the majority of women are very inaccurate with that formula by some amount, and very decent odds off by 20-40. Once you've been walking another week, should estimate your self. Submaximal step test for MHR estimate.…

Should I change my weight in my hrm when I lose weight? I have lost 5 pounds since I set it up when I first got it.

Oh, cool! It would be 183, I got to a maximum of 181, so pretty close.

I have really started enjoying my walk. At first I dreaded those hills, now I am like....bring it on!! It' s my favorite part now:)

thank you I will try that and see how it goes. If I have any other questions, can I message you?? You seem so know a lot about this and I appreciate your help. I have been on the meds for quite a few years and my metabolism is still slow I believe. I know a lot of people that can lose a lot faster than me. I don't care…

well, I think that my metabolism is a huge issue and I have hypothyroidism so I feel like 1657 is way too high. I would like to ramp up my metabolism but just not sure how to do that. I was staying around 1200 and not losing as much, but now I've added exercise I have brought my calories up to 1350 or so and was losing a…

My BMR says 1657. So, should I eat 1657 calories a day?? That seems like quite a few. So, if I do the same walk and burn around 600, does that mean I have to eat 1657 plus my exercise calories, or half my exercise calories? I am 214 pounds and 5'5. I want to get to at least 160.

anyone?

I sent you a message, but please add meeee!!

yes, you are very inspiring:)

carbs, protein, fat, and I feel most important, sugar and sodium.

I got my Polar FT4 on amazon, I have had it for 5 days and I looooooove it so much so far. I got it at a great price of 65.

thank you:) You would think it would be easier to access?

anyone?

thank you but when I go to weigh in it only shows my current measurements and weight, not previous ones. Where do I find the previous ones?

thank yiou

bump, picking up my Polar tomorrow.

What is TDEE?? please

bumpity

bump gonna read later I am new too.

Vancouver:)

I do this too

I did this for the first time today and it was great!! The sports bra on top was pretty snug, at first felt a little binding but I got used to it and felt so comfortable when working out.

thanks everyone, I will go by the machine until I get a HR monitor.

wow, great job!! That is inspiring:happy:

no problem, I am new on here too so I am getting the hang of things too.

I agree that 1200 right now is easy because I am on a "diet" but probably not easy to do for the rest of my life. If I continue to make good choices but eat more I will probably be ok. It's also a lot about what you put in your body, and not always necessarily how much.

Dont think of it as stalled. Its not a stall (plateau) until youve noticed no movement for a few weeks - I think if you asked everyonehere on MFP - week three is always one of the smallest losses you will record. Dont let it deter you - keep doing what youre doing and itll make up for it next week :) [/quote] Oh, thanks…

WOW, a lot for me to consider. Thank you each and every one of you for your input. I think I will have to experiment and see what works best for my body that is all. I have not had any cheats or bad days in nearly three weeks. I find the less crap you put in your body, the less your body craves it. I have been focusing on…
