So frustrated... but determined too
Last week I participated in volleyball camp and had great work outs and watched what I ate, drank TONS... it was a great week. So I thought. I got on the scale this morning and I am up almost 3 lbs. Help? I put my diary on public if that helps. Lisa

I just recently started using THM. I'm just easing into it, really. I was wondering if there was any way to find out the nutritional info on the recipes? I'm looking for calories per serving, carbs, sugars, sodium, and fats specifically. thanks! Lisa

Pilates calorie burn
I just did a pilates/yoga workout to a Ellen Barret video on Netlix. According to the calculator here I only burned 133 calories... after 40 minutes of Cruch Super Slimdown. Seriously? Does anyone know if that is accurate or not? I loved how the workout focused on the core. Great video in my opinion!

TXR Suspension Trainer
Anyone ever use this? Is it as good as advertised? My dh and I are thinking about getting one with some Christmas money.

Pulled Muscle while running?
Well, here is a new, if not desirable milestone for me: My first exercise related injury. My lift hip muscle (and I'm sure it is muscle not joint) is killing me. I was doing my cardio last night, intervals on the treadmill (going from a 4.5 jog to 6.5 run for 2 miles, minus warmup and cool down) and did great, until almost…

Clothing NSV
One of my short term goals was to be a size down from where I started in August by Christmas. I'm happy to say... I've hit it! Now, if I can just maintain that through the holidays! LOL

Any NaNoWriMo challenge writers here?
How are you coping with balancing writing, everyday life, exercise, and healthy eating habits? How is the writing going? I just broke 15K last night!

Net Calories are not even close tonight!
Yesterday I had a high calorie day for sure. Even though I am planning a snack later, it will bring my net calories to about 840 or so, instead of the recommended 1200 net calories. Can I just count this as a zig zag day? LOL A day of a low count shouldn't hurt the metabolism, right?

Why Isn't the Weight Coming Off?
I burned over 4100 calories this week, and I only lost .2 lbs. POINT TWO. That's it. Please check out my food/exercise diary and tell me what you think! What is going on here? I picked up the pace on exercising this week because what I was doing before wasn't showing results either. ARgh. Thanks for any insight! ~Lisa

Net Calories Question
I know this has been asked and answered so many times and I just spent some time pouring over the FAQ section and I still don't understand the net calorie figure. Could someone please explain to me, slowly, with small words , what they are and why it is important to eat a certain amount (1200 being the number I've been…

Trouble with my HRM
I have no idea what is going on with it. I have a Polar ft7. It is all wonky for some reason. I have been using since I got it last January without problem. I put it on, and it says my resting heartrate is 203, or 197, or 223. Puhleeze. Yeah, I checked. Try like.... 76 or so. I readjust it and then it registers a big fat…

Well Now!
I got frustrated a while back by the scale not moving AT ALL. Someone suggested I go by how my clothes fit, not by scale numbers. So I decided to buy a skirt in the next size down for inspiration. The skirt came and I tried it on just to see how much work I had to do. It fit. Well now! Who'd a-thunk????

The Scale WON'T Budge
Over the winter my weight has gone down very slowly, and now for the last 9 to 12 weeks the scale just won't move. It fluctuates back and forth a bit. I've been doing a lot of cardio, and trying to eat around 1550 calories a day. The recommended is 1490. It just changed because I tweaked some of my info. I've opened up my…

Hello Long Lost Friend
I donned a new sweater I recently bought. I looked in the mirror and saw something I haven't seen in 14 years. My waistline! It isn't the tiniest thing, but it is most definitely there. I've been living a healthier lifestyle since January 2010. I've lost around 35 lbs, but that fluctuates by a few pounds from time to time.…

Heart Rate Monitor Question
I recently bought a PoloarFT HRM. It seems to do a wonderful job, but I was under the impression it would tell me how many calories I burned? It just does the heart rate. Is there some sort of conversion I don't know about like "heartrate for X amount of minutes = X calories burned" ? Or should I just return it and find…

ARGGGGGGGGGGGH!
That about sums it up. It's a dreaded PLATEAU. Help! I'm so tired of seeing the same number on my scale. I'm so very close to passing a mile stone too! ARGH! I've tried shocking my body. Gained a couple pounds from that, started losing it and thought it would continue through that mile stone number but... nope. My scale is…

What type/kind/brand of HRM would you suggest?
It never occurred to me to even use one of these before I read about them here. What is a good economical, dependable one I should be looking for?
