My issue is that when I do low-impact exercising or walking I have trouble getting up to the low end of the target range, and when I do anything high impact I always exceed the high-end of…

HRM vs. Machine calorie count
Hi all, I worked out indoors today for the first time in ages, because I am away on business and couldn't go outside. I still had my trusty HRM with me, though, so I headed to the hotel fitness room to walk/jog on the treadmill.

Thank you, MFP!
Tomorrow is my official weigh-in day, but today I was bored so I redid my measurements a day early -- I've lost at least an inch in all areas . . . 2 inches in my thighs which are my toughest area! I am really happy with how this system is working for me and how excited I am to see results! Thank you, everyone at MFP!

Blackberry Jam -- YUMMY!

I am usually adverse to anything "sugar-free" or "fat-free" because it usually tastes horrible, but yesterday at the grocery store I decided to try Smuckers Sugar-free Seedless Blackberry jam . . . only 10 calories per serving,…
