Since that day me weight has dropped to 174.00 and my measurements have gone down as well. I did not measure myself until 3/19/12 (bad me) but I will share my measurements from that…

Heart Rate Monitor
Ok I just got a heart rate monitor and I am kind of dumb about the whole thing. I had it on all day and it said that I burned over 3,000 calories in 12 hrs.
