Agreed...she should have stacked the team in her favor

I was like you with my first HRM- I didn't want the chest strap...but I found that the wrist type were not accurate. I will still use the watch (no strap) one when I am just walking and the heart rate stays fairly steady....but the chest strap is SO worth it if you are doing a hard workout and do not want to have to stop…

bump...SO want to know people's thoughts about this.

Not yet...but I enjoyed going through a bunch of smaller sized clothes I had put away and finding that they fit! I was doing a happy jig every time I was able to zip up something!

AWESOME! I am hoping to hit onederlant by my b-day on sept 23. I only have 5 lbs left!

WOW! Awesome -what an inspiration!

Only two days left! I sure wish I could get all the way through the last circuit with the squat jumps and rock stars without stopping for a few seconds.I have started counting and just try to push to do more each time. I am SO ready for a break!

I just got the Ft7 yesterday...it figures your zones for you...so you dont have to worry about it. Find what display you like best...by hubby just likes to see his HR in the large numbers...I like the scale and I only look at the calories burned at the end. Have fun! I am finding I am actually burning less than I thought…

I actually asked my friend who is a health inspector this same question a few months ago. Yep..you can...the date is more of a "Best by" date. She said you can go up to a month. Just watch for the signs the others said- smell, foil popped up etc.

Funny...almost made me spit my water!

Glad to see everyone likes theirs! I just ordered the Polar Ft7 and cannot WAIT for it to get here! It is more than I needed...I was going to get the Ft4 like my husband has but found a good deal on a new one on Ebay. I have been using a watch one...but I am doing faster workouts now (getting ready to start Turbo Fire) and…

Your beautiful! Your doing awesome! Hang in there!

DOes the menu have all three levels. Each level is just over 20 mins.

love the idea of adding the peppers and onions and extra spices

I make this too. My kids love it as a filling for quesadillas....when can have a few extra cals...I use it as a taco filling...also good over lettuce like a taco salad.

Try: http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm If you google how much water should I drink there are some other calculators too. It takes into account weight, climate, workouts.

My husband rides while our 4 year old rides his bike...he has to go at a slower pace...he still has training wheels...but he lasts longer on his bike. I got a treadmill of Craigslist and then was able to save up to get a better one. As many other said. Jillian's DVDs are great and fast Our YMCAs around here all have…

AWESOME! I just got mine on Friday...finishing up 30ds in August and starting the full Turbo Fire program Sept. 5...but I want to try out a few workouts this month to see what I am in for. Any of you do the prep schedule or just jump into the full schedule...little worried and wonder which one I should do? Also...did any…

Day 1 level3!OMG! I was feeling SO good after finishing level 2...really felt stronger and the jumping jacks and jump rope were a pieceof cake by now...then.... I did level 3...and feel like a complete whimp all over again! UGH! Hate PLANKS...used to LOVE squats...but not now that you add a stinking jump! My legs are…

It's more work...but I measure the marinade before and after. The difference I then divide by the number of servings of meat.

When I went over 10lbs lost it asked me if I wanted to reset.

Awesome! 80 lbsis what I want to lose too! What an inspiration!

WOW! Double WOW! You are SUCH an inspiration to those of us just starting out! Thanks for sharing!:happy:

30 day shred is great. I have heard that all of hers are good. and the Biggest Loser ones are good too...great thing is they are a great price...most are under 10 bucks!

FRee = FOR SURE...even if you decide down the line that you would want a different mode/features...this is a great way to make sure you really WANT a treadmill. I prefer to run outside...but living in IA I know I will need my treadmill in the winter! I got my off Craigslist and it works great...it is a Proform also.

I have started p90x the "lean" routine and got to about week 6 and I stopped. While I see a huge difference in my strength and I can feel the muscles changing...I feel like I need to get a good layer of fat off first. This month I increased my running and I am doing Jillian Micheals 30day shred and I have lost more weight…

Good luck with the shred...I just finished day 9!

Finished 9 today...I am not taking a rest day so I will be ready to start level 2 with the rest of you! I too am looking forward to some new moves!

WELCOME! Your screen name makes me giggle...the first song on my workout playlist is ONE HOT MAMMA!

D7L1 done today...not bad...I like how much stronger I feel on push-ups...but still modified...I really need to force myself to do some regular before I move on. Looking forward to starting level 2 in a few days! I am noticing a difference in arms and legs...hoping to see some numerical results in my favor when I measure…
