Cardiac Drift Question
So I know what cardiac drift is and I notice it pretty much every time I exercise. So here is my question. Is it "naughty" to take advantage of the drift? As in, on the elliptical I can bust my butt for 5 or so minutes til I reach that drift stage then I can relax a bit and still have my heart rate in the zone I want. Is…

Sugar Addict here with a question...
so I'm a certifiable sugar addict, my profession even helps along with that as I'm a cake decorator :wink: so I'm trying really really hard to cut the sugar habit down to nil. I'm actually doing ok with it now that I'm getting a lot more serious. The scale wasn't moving as well as I'd like so I am really cracking down. But…

Question about heart rate
ok, bit of background. Hubby bought me a Garmin Vivosmart HR for Christmas which is a huge help for me as I have horrid anxieties about heart rates and heart attacks. (I have GAD) anyhoo, so I think I figured out what I want my target HR to be when riding the stationary bike, around 150-155 with short intervals up to…

yet another Net Calorie question! Whoops?
Ok... I've been trying for over a month now to get a handle on all these equations! Let me be honest and say Math was never my strong suit *lol* so I've been looking at my Food Log and have been trying to keep it at around 1200 (little less, little more) most days. Even if I exercise. So now today I go look at my reports…

JM Ripped in 30?
Anyone tried it? Any good? Thinking of picking it up today as something different to go along with my 30 day Shred video by her. Done the 30 day Shred, still doing it, alternating levels and days to keep it different. But want something else to add in for fun and change.

Working breakfast off ?

Weight Meats before or after cooking?
Hey there all, just wondered what is the best time to weigh my meat? If I make two oz turkey burgers and weigh them before cooking and then weigh them again after they are now only 1 oz burgers! I know why, of course, but am wondering should I count it as a 2 oz or a 1 oz burger? Same with all meats, they shrink and lose…

HRM suggestions Pros vs Cons?
I've decided it's time I invest in a HRM as I'm not convinced I'm getting accurate calories counted when I exercise using MFP. It's been great so far but now I'm wanting to get a little more serious. So I've started looking at them. I've seen wrist versions, I've seen chest strap versions. I've seen ones that count the…

DVD's and our Exercise entries

Headaches?

I am still eating around 1400 calories a day (or there abouts) and have not cut out caffeine at all (I only have one cup of tea a day and on weekends one diet soda while at work) so that's not the cause. but I noticed since…

Exercise while sick?

I have a cold, not the end of the world but I'm feeling pretty icky and my sinuses feel like they're going to explode out my face. *lol* I don't want to NOT exercise because I'm afraid of not doing it but I feel so gross I'm not sure I can do…

Need some Carb ideas.
Or maybe I don't *lol* MFP has given me a lot of carbs to eat in a day and I always seem to have over 100 left at the end of the day! I don't eat bread right now but pasta sometimes. Any ideas on how I can get a few more in without killing my fat intake? :D
