Body Media VS Polar
Why is my calorie burn SO different? My Polar today was 504 and BM was 397. I know that I can't expect perfection but, that is a big difference.

Changing macros with exercise....
Is there a way to stop it from doing this? I changed my macros in the custom area but, it doesn't really help me keep track when my numbers keep changing.

Calling all moms!
What do you feed your kids? My kids are getting sick of the same things, all the time. I need some fast and easy ideas. (healthy obviously). I prefer fresh foods....I know there has to be some "outside the box" ideas!

Runners
How much time would you expect to take off your 5K in a month? I just ran a 5K and my time was 27:07. I didn't really "train" or do anything other than my normal runs before the race. I do run about 60-70 miles a month though. I average 3m, 3m, 4m, 6-11 (for a long run depending on the week). I really want to improve my 5K…

Cooking with EVOO and Tessemae (calories)
I am wondering if I cook with Tessemae or just plain EVOO if I should count the calories in full? The Tessemae I am using right now is somewhere around 100 calories a serving, but I drizzle that over some veggies in a pan and saute them....(same I would do with EVOO) should I count the calories in full or does it cook off??

Calling all moms, especially MoM's!
I am feeling super annoyed with my belly. Some days I feel like I've made huge progress and others I feel like that jiggle will just never leave. I am only 15 weeks postpartum with twins and I know that is early, but I just get discouraged. I would *love* to see some postpartum tummies!! If anyone took pictures throughout…

So if diet is 80%.....
What are some good books and/or resources to help learn about diet/nutrition? I know the basics, sort of. I would love to learn more about how to use my diet as a better tool to lose weight. I would love a good book to read. I looked today, but it was overwhelming because there were soooo many books. Any in particular that…

R130 complete, one month down.
Just realized I posted this in the wrong place, oops. Today was 4 weeks since I started full force working out after having my twins. I'm currently 15 weeks postpartum. I've worked really hard this week with work outs and with eating healthy. I did RI30 as well as a lot of running and some other circuits of weights thrown…

HRM question.....
I have the Garmin 450cx and it will tell calories burned based on heart rate only with the GPS turned off so I've been wearing it during RI30 and my treadmill runs.....seems like everyone here as the Polar....just wondering if the 450cx is accurate....I'm guessing it is?? I bought it for outside runs originally, but after…

Foot pain with picture....(runners!)
I have been running a little since 5 weeks postpartum, I'm 3 months in 2 days. Started slow, walking, then a mile, waking, eventually 2 miles etc. I worked up to running 4 miles fairly quickly, within a month or so, with no pain. Now that I have been running consistently for a few weeks I am having this pain on my…

ankle soreness, after plank work
So yesterday I did level 2 of RI30 and its a lot of plank work. The fronts of my ankles are sore this morning....is that a normal place to have soreness or should I be concerned? I've never had soreness there and I don't want an injury!!!

Brewers Yeast/Nutritional Yeast?
I have a huge can of this, I bought it for lactation purposes (suppose to help with milk production) but I'm curious as to what else it might be good for?? I haven't been using it and I'm wondering if I should be!

How hard would you work....
if you wanted to get results like some of the awesome before/afters where people start out with about 30lbs or so to lose and look awesome and toned in 3-4 months?!? I know everyone wants fast results, everyones body is different, etc etc. I am one to put in 100% when I want something and I feel like I am working super…

Food for the day, any advice on better choices?
I am nursing twins and some lactation consultants and OB's say you need as many as 2700 calories a day when exclusively nursing twins....seems a little crazy to me, but I'm not counting calories anyway! I am doing WW (had great luck with it after my son was born a few years ago). I'm trying to make healthier choices, but I…

What do you do on the days you're not motivated?
I am overall extremely motivated to get back into shape. I've always been a runner and in good shape. Having 4 kids and the last being twins (11 weeks postpartum) sometimes I catch myself in the mirror and see my saggy/stretch mark covered belly and think, "wow, I will never get rid of that" It's depressing! I love my…

Need some advice on workouts.....
I am 11 weeks postpartum from twins so I am just now really getting into some "harder" workouts. I started walking around 5 weeks postpartum and have gradually worked up. I had c-section and my scar re-opened at one point so I've had to take things pretty slowly. Currently I am doing Weight Watchers....I know some think it…
