BodyBugg/BMF calories burned off??
I have a BMF BodyBugg as well as a Polar F5 HRM. My BMF numbers have looked lower than normal lately, so decided to wear both devices to my high intensity workout class last night. BMF said 342 calories burned, HRM said 623! I seriously doubt the 342 number from BMF..I have worn it in the past to the same class with much…

Running in the Morning and Eating?
I run 3 x week pretty regularly, getting up early to fit it in before my husband leaves for work and I am on kiddie patrol. The alarm goes off at 6am, and I generally on the treadmill at my gym by 6:20-6:30 (live very close by), typically running 2 1/2 to 3 miles. I know it is better to eat 1-2 hours before a run for…

Mommy Tummy...
Ok, any ladies out there found any exercise, creams, oils etc that have helped you with shrinking the mommy tummy - short of surgery? I am almost to my goal weight, about 3 more pounds to go, and loving seeing the definition in the arms, shoulders, back and legs again - the only part of my body I am NOT happy with is the…

I am going to keep doing my thing until my "official" weigh in day Friday, but have started thinking about the transition from weight loss to weight maintenance. I would love to know what others have done, did you gradually increase calories,…

How Often Do You Work Out??
Just taking an informal for my own information kind of poll. I am curious to know how often the successfull losers are exercising. I think I have to rein myself in a bit, I looked at the calendar today and realized I have exercised daily for almost 3 weeks. I am dropping inches faster than pounds...but this is also a TOM…

Taking Measurements the Right Way?
Can anyone tell me the correct way to be taking my measurements, or I guess let me know if I am doing it wrong? The waist is pretty easy - I measure at the most narrow spot. But where exactly do you measure on the hips? The widest part? At the hipbone? Closer to your butt?? I have read below the belly button and at your…

Lowering the fat in ground beef.
Found this info interesting, I couldn't verify the exact numbers here, but some other sites including one from the Journal of the American Dietetic Assoc came close. I have typically drained my ground beef, but not the other steps. I can get the 70/30 or 75/25 ground beef at our commissary for literally half the price of…

Sansone Walk at Home users, HRM comparisons needed!
Just received my HRM in the mail today and used it with my Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD. I did 3 miles, which according to Leslie Sansone's site should burn about 375 calories. According to MFP, its also around 370 calories, this is assuming a 12 min mile/ 5mph, which is what the DVD claims. My HRM says 615 calories…

HRM Reccomendations??
After reading all the posts about people over/underestimating calories burned during workouts, I am thinking about getting a HRM. I know there are posts of people asking about specific HRM's, but guess I would like to know which ones are the favorites out there. Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is not…
