Weil, I do like ice cream and it's only 150 calores for 4 oz (half cup).. when I mentioned it the other day, someone said DON'T... Boy,, I thought I am free to choose my…

Big grin!
I wasn't going to tell anyone that I am losing. Maybe because of many failed dieting in the past. When I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, I was floored but still leery. Better to keep quiet than speak too soon,, yes? Well, I went to the mall with my friend and she said,, "Are you alright?" I said "yes, I am." She went on to say…

Do we really need HRM?
I just had an interesting email from my doctor and I have to agree with her... First,, what is a real purpose of HRM? Many of you said "more accurate measurment of calories burned." If that is true,, something wrong with the number here........ She wrote: "Your heart rate does not equal your metabolism. The top athletes…

what is REAL purpose of HRM?
I have seen it alot in here about HRM but can't find any post about WHY we need it. I talked to a trainer at the gym and he said that we don't need HRM but to use calories tracker if you want to keep track of calories burns, he showed me his calories "watch". I asked my doctor and she too said there's no need for a HRM.…

When I thought about it, I remembered I was tired yesterday as well but not as bad as today. Because of MFP, I changed how I eat and doing my best to make sure I stay within the intake calories…

Translating calories mumbo jumbo

Also, I read that we are to burn 3,500 a week in order to lose a pound. Can anyone point me to a good site that explain all this?…
