why such a variation in HRM caloric counts?
So, my friend and I are about the same weight (5-8 lbs. difference) and she is 6 1/2 years older than me. We both take the same class at Lifetime and put in the same effort (basically every ounce of effort we have!!! Sweating bullets the whole class!), and yet our HRM show a variation of 200 calories in the burn...she…

when to turn off the Heart Rate Monitor?
Just a quick question: I just got a HRM and have used it a few times...love it. But, when do you turn it off after a work out??? I do a lot of classes, both cardio/weights and strength training so, I know that, when I'm done, I'll still burn a bit, so I usually leave it on until I leave the gym. However, tonight, I forgot…

I found the Cathe DVD's online...wow. There are a LOT of them...which one's do you use and would you recommend for a BEGINNER weight lifter...running and kick boxing were my exercises of choice before. Thanks!

getting my book and started with weights, so....
Very excited...my friend Terrie and I met with our trainer and got a weight work out going, AND my NROLFW book is coming today! I've read a gazillion posts and Terrie and I have discussed this at length, but I'd like to get some of your thoughts on MY thoughts :wink: FIRST: the book says to only eat your highest number ON…

well, THAT was a waste of time!
This is more of a release: my work out partner and I decided to try out a trainer at Lifetime. So, he's super nice and all, but it was 2 hours of TALKING!!!!! Seriously???? I did not pack up my 4 kids and put them in the childcare area so I could TALK for 2 hours and I wouldn't get in a lick of a workout!!!!!! :explode: I…

Just about to start...tell me how you did it...
So, I am just about to start the whole sha-bang! Upping calories and adding in weights...feeling a little anxious about it since it's new (I like my predictables :) ), but I believe in this all, so I have faith it will work :) What I'd like to know is, how did you start? When you upped your calories, were you already…

Now that I'm almost ready for weights, what is YOUR routine?
Just so this doesn't get lost in the other thread, I'd love to hear your general work out routine. Going from an all cardio mindset/class mindset, to lifting weights and working particular parts of my body (which will eventually effect the WHOLE body), I just don't know where to begin. So, how many days do you work out a…

Eating more to weigh less WITHOUT weights?
I was just wondering if there is anyone who is on this path of eating more to weigh less who does NOT lift weights? I happen to really enjoy cardio, kickboxing classes and the Ab machines...for me, it's "mindless" and really meets my exercise needs: stress relief and energized. However, with this lower carb eating (which…

what to eat when you up calories?
I thought someone said there was a post about eating suggestions? I have read a lot about people having a hard time fitting all the new calories in...and I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to get them from leftover Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs :) What sort of foods do you add in? Higher fat/higher protein foods like beef,…

Daily calories and TDEE-so confused...
I know there have been some great, informative posts about this, but with my 4 little kids running around here I just don't have time to read through them all. I have read a bit though, thus prompting this post...please forgive if it's a repeat of info already posted, it will just be easier for me to find and read through…
