HR monitor gadget thingy
I have an iPhone 4s. I use endomondo and myfitnesspal daily. I want a HR monitor gadget that will work well with these apps. Do you'all have any suggestions on the best one to buy? Recommendations for price ranges? Thanks.

Newbie Runner weight gain.
Well, I started running Thanksgiving day. It was the first day off my weight loss program and I wanted to change things up and start something new. Because of this thread and support of family, I decided that I would start a C25K program. I even signed up for a 5K (Feb. 9th) which will keep me accountable to training. I…

My first Blizzard Run
It is a blizzard out there, decided I wasn't going to let it keep me from working out. Got out there and ran. I only got a mile in due to time constraints. It is a lot harder to run in snow! Used my new heart rate monitor for the first time. Realized I can push myself a lot more than I have. Time to pick it up a little.

Off the soft drinks by accident
I have been off soft drinks for 5 days. Didn't do it on purpose and I wanted to share some results. First, I want to share my unhealthy addiction. I was drinking in excess of two liters of diet soda a day. It didn't impact my weight loss and it was something I wasn't planning to give up. This last Friday after my morning…

Signed up for the Spartan Sprint in Indiana on April 27th.
As a early Christmas/Birthday gift to me, I signed up for the Spartan Sprint race in Indiana. I joined the group (on Facebook) called the 'CornFed Spartans' which have been a great and helpful group. Very encouraging. Anyway, if anyone here wants to join me, I will be there running my guts out!

My goal is three people off the couch and joining me in helping themselves have a healthier New Year. So far, my wife, and my cousin have taken…

Convince me about running
I hate running... I know that before I can ever start running I need to change my thinking, maybe even the words that I use, when I think about running. None are very pleasant. However, I am a big guy. I have on occasion, gotten up from the couch to go run a mile. Maybe I was inspired by a movie, maybe, I was just a…

Looking to get healthier, fit, and change my old ways
I have always been a big guy. Even with my size, I was quite athletic. I was a heavy weight kickboxing champion, martial artist, business owner, blah, blah, blah... Seemed like my whole existences surrounded myself with my size... It was how people saw me for good or for worse. Most days, I felt that people only saw me as…
