Garmin Heart Rate Monitor
I think I might be having issues with the calorie counter on this HRM. Anyone have a Garmin with a chest strap? Today I did a boot camp type class at my work gym. Definately difficult for me with sprints, lifting, push-ups etc. The total class was 45 minutes and we didn't break that much at all. My highest HR was around…

Earliest Memory of having weight problems...
What's your earliest memory of having a weight problem or being told you have a weight problem? I must have been 8-9 years old and I was sitting in my doctors office with my Mom and Dr. My Mom was saying things about my weight (how I had a problem) and asking the Dr. how I could lose weight.

Calories actually burned on elliptical?
So I worked out for 32 minutes/30 level/6 incline. I set my weight in the system to be LESS than I actually am so the calories would be more accurate. Does that make sense? It said I burned 450 calories for 32 mins. If my weight was set higher wouldn't it have said I burned more calories and be a less accurate reading??

Starbucks Venti Iced Coffee

Weight loss in the first few weeks...
In you experiences did you lose more weight in the first few weeks than MFP had predicted you would lose? Or was it pretty accurate? Does MFP put water weight in account for predicting your weight loss initially or is it just a steady, pound (real fat loss) prediction. Thanks!
