Fitbit Charge HR vs Traditional HRM
Hey guys, I currently have a Polar Ft7 HRM and a Fitbit Flex. For the past 8 months or so, I have only been using the Fitbit Flex. I am now wanting to just convert to the Charge HR but was wondering (for those of you who have used both) If you feel it is as accurate as your traditional HRM in terms of HR AND calorie…

Cheesy pick up lines ;)
Did you just sit in sugar? Because you got a pretty sweet *kitten*. Do you have a map? Because I'm getting lost in your eyes. I'm not staring at your boobs. I'm staring at your heart (I'm sorry. That's freaking GENIUS) Hahahahaa. Keep em coming!

Gift ideas for daycare provider??
Thought I'd try here. My sons provider just gave me a Christmas gift for him. I thought that was very sweet and I would like to get her something in return. She had made all sorts of amazing progress with my son since switching him from a large in home daycare to her smaller in home daycare. I don't know much of what she's…

Looking for talkactive/active friends.
Howdy! I've been on MFP for some 400 odd days and such. Looking for people who are actively on the site to be friends with and to cheer on. I would also return the favor. Must be awesome and not have a boring personality. Hopefully you don't disappear often. Must also like dirty jokes and not mind my endless ranting on the…

My 1 year anniversary w/pics. Down (75-78lbs)
Hi all, What a crazy and rewarding year it's been. If you told me last year that I would have stuck to this for a year I probably would have thought you were crazy! In a year I've lost 75-78 lbs. (I keep bouncing back and forth) and went from a size 28 to a 22. I am so proud of myself! It's been trying at times but I am…

Activity level help.
Hi all, I am approaching my 1 year anniversary with MFP. I am down 78 pounds! Yay! However, I have hit a stall for the last 11 weeks. I've recently started to eat every 3 hours, carb cycle, drink a gallon of water a day, exercise more and longer blah blah and nothing is budging. I'm thinking maybe my body is used to eating…

Just looking for some advice/tips on things I can do better to lean up a bit. I am currently down 75 pounds in 9 (almost 10) months. I used to weigh 318 and am now currently 242. I'm 5'7 tall (in case that matters) I've just noticed that I am still pretty fat for someone my weight/size. I'd like to get more lean as I still…

HRM recommendations
Hi guys. I've had a Polar Ft4 now for a few years. I haven't gotten much use of it because it sat around for most of those years. I've been actively using it now for about 6 months and it's going on the fritz. Saying my HR is super high, losing the HR, etc. (and the stupid gym machines make it worse) Anyways, I've tried…

120 days in, 41 pounds down. Still a work in progress (pic)
I think I've started and ended my journey 3 other times in the past, but this time it's really sticking and I couldn't be more proud of how far I've come so far. I started out weighing 318. I was home on summer break for work and literally just asked myself, "What are you going to do all summer long? Sit around and get…

HRM effecting someone else's machine?
I have a Polar Ft4. A little bit ago I was at the gym working out on one of their cross fit cardio machines. A lady got on the machine next to me and quickly within 5 minutes made a comment about how the machine was reading her heart rate really high and how out of shape she must be. I didn't think much of it and continued…

It's a 60 day challenge to lose the most weight/body fat and consists of 5 personal training sessions (boot camp style) a customized work out plan and nutrition help of some sort for $130.

300 lb work out plan?
Wanting some opinions on some workouts I should be doing to maximize my results and be less bored in the gym. Right now I do 30 to 60 mins of hill intervals on the treadmill and 20 mins of weight machines. Arms or legs. I get mixed opinions. Some people tell me that I just need to focus on cardio for now. SW: 318 CW: 293.…

Heart rate and weight loss.
Does anyone know what the ideal heart rate is for weight loss or is it basically just any activity that gets your heart rate up is good for weight loss. I ask because often my heart rate on a cardio machine can vary from 130 to 165. I'm just not sure what my target should be to continue to lose weight (Unless like I stated…

What is YOUR motivation?
I didn't look in the mirror or at a picture and say, "You're fat, you need to lose weight." My motivation was just one question I asked myself over summer vacation from work and that was, "Why not?" I'm home from work, I can take my son to the daycare at the gym where he can socialize. It was better than sitting around,…

Why do I still feel hungry after just eating?
Seriously, this is annoying. Don't tell me to drink more water because I do that already. Don't mention fiber or protein because I get enough of that already too. It's like 15 minutes after I eat sometimes I feel like I am starving and didn't eat a thing. I will message my doctor about it but I wanted to see if there is…

I can lose weight by just walking, right?
I'm so over the gym. It's so boring and it actually makes me mad to go. It's incredibly to hot and humid in Zumba. It's over crowded and scorching because it's essentially in a warehouse. I don't like at home DVDs, I need to be held accountable for and there is only a small space in my living room to move around and I feel…

Okay so there are some things I do not understand. I was told to find my TDEE and subtract 20% of that for steady weight loss. My TDEE us 3,710 and subtracting 20% of that is 2,968. FIRST QUESTION: IS THAT WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO EAT IN CALORIES EVERYDAY? MFP GIVES ME 1840. Then I see what they give me for percentages on work…

Bigger girl, 30 pounds down.
Last year I was 318 pounds and grossed out by myself. I jumped on this site and lost 30 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I fell off the wagon, and here it is just about a year later and I'm still 290 pounds. I'm here now to be smaller. I was so set on getting out of the 300's that I was content when I was 290 and maintained my…
