Is 180 bpm too high.
So I know what my max heart rate is - 188. And from what I read target heart rate should be 50% to 75% of that, which is 94-141. But when I was doing jazzercise yesterday, I actually took my pulse between songs and I think i was around 180. I may be wrong, my memory is terrible and I'm bad at math too, so I guessed at my…

A different kind of NSV
So I've been working on losing weight for a year now. You can see how much I've lost. Here's the NSV. My husband is grossly out of shape. He's 6'4" and 320ish.

have a friend that's borderline anorexic
Hi. I have a friend that's borderline anorexic and i'm pretty sure she's not even getting 1200 calories a day.

Do you ever change your inputs?
I'm torn on whether I should change my ticker or not. I started in June 2010 at 207 and i'm now down to 160. I went hard core for 6 months and took a break this past January and February. I lost 47 pounds, gained some and am back down. Should I start my ticker over again or leave it be and make it look awesome?

OH NO! No more sugar!?
So I've been dieting since June 2010. I was Ms. Healthy Eater for 6 months (until the end of December) and barely every had a sweet, it was few and far between when I would splurge. Before that, I loved my sweets! I loved to make baked goods and enjoy them, loved Blizzards form Dairy Queen and other ice cream treats. I had…

Shrinking Stomach?
I just did a search to see if this was actually possible and found this story. http://www.lifescript.com/body/diet/diet-tips/shrink_your_stomach__myth_or_fact.aspx It’s the incredible shrinking stomach! If this sounds more like a fable than a fact, think again. While you may not be able to physically shrink your stomach…

My Holiday Prayer
God grant me the serenity to avoid those cakes and candies, to pass on pies and cookies and survive the holidays without gaining weight. Better yet, keep on losing weight!' Just for a chuckle for everyone... :happy:

Hellooooo
Just wanted to say Hi. I'm new to my fitness pal, but not new to losing weight. I started in June at about 203 lbs and i've lost about 28 lbs. I'm taking Phentermine to help me along the way, so if there are any other Phen lovers out there that would be great!
