Anyone having an issue with a newer model Polar FT4 HRM?
I got a new Polar FT4 HRM for Christmas. My previous model (also a Polar FT4) finally crapped out after nearly 5 YEARS! I never had an issue with the old model dropping heart rates or being finicky based on what exercise I do. The new one is different. I noticed that as long as I'm standing up straight when doing cardio or…

Getting Rid of Clothes
So I decided to clean out my closet last night and my pants drawer. Before when I've lost weight, I didn't worry about hanging on to larger sized clothing. I just let it sit in the drawers. Last night I made the big decision to give all of the stuff I'm too small for away. I feel like hanging on to it before gave me a…

Greek Yogurt to Replace Sour Cream??
Has anyone used a non-fat, plain Greek yogurt like Chobani in place of sour cream in a recipe? I’ve recently tasted Greek yogurt and thought it was very sour cream like – even a little more so. It’s a much healthier alternative but I don’t want to just see if it works via trial and error. Has anyone used it in dips to…

What ticker motivates you best?
I currently am using a ticker that shows how many lbs I've lost. Since I'm still really in the beginning stages of a 70+ lb weight loss goal, I'm thinking that seeing the number get bigger is going to help to continue motivating me. I'm also thinking that when I hit the half way point I might switch the ticker so it says…

Spinning and using HRMs
I've been getting into spinning twice a week and am looking into a HRM that will more accurately tell me how many calories I burn in my 50min class and where my heart rate is. Can any spinners out there who use HRMs tell me which one(s) they think are good for that particular workout. I've been looking to Polars. The FT4…

Sugars from Fruit
I apologize if this thread exists out there, as I'm sure it does, but I couldn't seem to locate any answers or advice on the boards. My questions revolves around the amount of "sugar" one takes in a day when most (if not all) of that sugar comes from fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm fine with keeping all my fats, carbs,…
