HRM without chest strap
I'm exhausted from reading conflicting advice/opinions about heart rate monitors. Can anyone just give me a recommendation for a HRM without a chest strap? I just basically want to know my heart rate and calories burned (pedometer & distance would be a plus). I want it to be fairly accurate but I know it won't be as…

substitutes for planks
I am doing Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution (love it so far) and in true Jillian fasion, she is heavy on the planks. Unfortunately, I struggle with rotator cuff impingement and all the planks seem to really set off the pain. The shoulder problem has been an issue off and on for years--but only when I aggravate it. I know…

WTF is wrong with me
I'm not really looking for answers...this is more of a vent. But if you have any words of wisdom or support, please feel free to share! Last night I had a binge (on Cheez Its and Tootsie Rolls of all things...nice...sometimes I think weight loss would be so much easier if I didn't let the kids have any junk food in the…

new rules of lifting
Forgive me if my questions are silly. I've tried googling but can't find any decent answers. Please feel free to point me to any websites or articles that may help. I have 35 lbs. to lose. (I have already lost and maintained about 60 lbs for the past 2 years with a combination of calories deficits and mostly cardio). I…

Thinking about "breaking up" with Weight Watchers
And I'm scared. The truth is, I've lost 64 lbs. with WW using their Points system. I had actually lost 70 at one point but gained 6 lbs. and have been stalled here for about 8 or 9 months. I have been consistent with working out 5 days/week, but I struggle on weekends, and I am a quantity eater--and go way overboard on the…

Sleep problems
Going to try to keep this brief. I have had sleep problems for the past 12 years. I go to sleep no problem--just can't stay asleep. Wake up constantly. Have taken Ambien (helped, but couldn't stay on long term--MD refuses to prescribe for longer than a couple of months and I don't blame him), trazodone (didn't work at ALL,…

BodyMedia Fit Core Armband....Sleep
Just wondering how many hours of sleep you get, according to your armband. Do you think it's accurate? I have chronic sleep issues (tried everything under the sun--now I just take melatonin) and have been averaging 5-6 hours, per my armband.

To whoever recommended Purpose soap for my oily skin
Thank you!! I posted a couple of weeks ago about my terribly oily skin. Someone recommended Purpose soap, which I have now been using for a week and absolutely love. It is shocking how quickly my skin responded. Because I had such good results with the soap, I also bought the oil-free Purpose Dual Moisturizer with…

Quick question about my BodyMedia Fit armband
Loving my Core armband...thanks for everyone's help last week. Quick question: I put in on at 9:00 a.m. yesterday, then synced it at 9:00 p.m. to see if it was working. I then synced it again this a.m. at 6:00. My question is: does it "split" the calories up from 12:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to give you a total calorie burn…

Weekends and losing control
So historically my greatest issue has been lack of control on the weekends. I've been on WW for two years, but on MFP for only about a week. I am seriously going to try to track everything I eat here on MFP. Sometimes I get the attitude that if I don't track it, I didn't eat it--not good, I know. So I am a little angry…

BodyBugg
Thinking about getting one. I don't have a smart phone to use with it. What are your experiences? Do you wear it while you're sleeping? Any feedback, tips, etc. would be appreciated. I am using a Polar FT4 for my workouts now but the chest strap bugs me. TIA!
