A little frustrated because after 10 weeks of HIIT Boot Camp 5 days a week along with about 8 hours a week of cardio, my before and after pictures look exactly the same!!! Grrrrr. I'm very small. 5'1'' and right around 100 pounds. 25% bodyfat. I gained a few pounds and definitely more toned to the touch.... less flab and…

Bloat!
I really enjoy looking at my flat belly for two seconds as I get dressed at 5:30 am for boot camp... then... as soon as I get there the bloat begins. 100 ounces of water throughout the day plus water-filled food leaves me with tight pants. Frustrating. I try to tell myself that the bloat is the water and protein creating…

Suggestion for non-Fitbit calorie counter
I used Fitbit for several months and it stopped working three times -- they sent me a new one multiple times. I'm over fitbit. I want to get a different type of calorie counter all together... hopefully something discrete. Nike band? I'm wondering if I need to wait until the kinks have been worked out with these little…

Clean eating, sweating
I've been eating clean for the past month or so and started doing boot camp HIIT workouts five days a week. Feeling a little bit stronger, but the only real changes I've noticed are having to pee 6457 times a day and sweating excessively while SLEEPING. Strange?

BMR, TDEE, net cals issue.
HI Everyone! My goal is to gain muscle and lose a couple pounds of fat. I am 5'2'' and I exercise 5-6 days a week and usually burn around 500 calories. I have a question about the whole BMR, TDEE, net cals issue. With a BMR of 1080 and a TDEE of 1350, I set my net goal at 900 calories a day (but I always eat more than that…

BMR, TDEE, net cals issue... Again! :)
HI Everyone! My goal is to gain muscle and lose a couple pounds of fat. I am 5'2'' and I exercise 5-6 days a week and usually burn around 500 calories. I also use the Fitbit to adjust if I burn more than 1350 in a day. I have a question about the whole BMR, TDEE, net cals issue. With a BMR of 1080 and a TDEE of 1350, I set…

No cell phone cameras with timers?
My ten year old camera has a 15-second timer so I can set it up and pose... but my cell phone doesn't ??? Taking self-photos while balancing the camera at the perfect angle is a pain in the butt! Is there an app for that? :)

HRM accurate
I recently purchased a Polar HRM and I am amazed at how HIGH it is estimating my calorie expenditure. As a 5'1'' female with 18 BMI, I always thought my expendenture was MUCH lower than people of average height. It says I burned 500 calories walking 6 miles and 800 calories playing three hours of tennis (doubles). Is this…
