Phase 2 Cardio
Monday is the big day Phase 2. I'm excited and not at the same time. It says to do medium cardio. What would you ladies say is medium?? When I was walking on treadmill I'd go only 3.5 but thats a almost fast walk for my short legs. On the Arc Trainer I was go varying resistances and incline. Edit: Should we be at a certain…

He is a 6 year old puggle named Crash. Has had 2 TPLO surgeries. (ACL in human form.) He is a bigger built puggle. He weighs 47lbs and was maxed…

Polar HRM's
I have 2 Polar FT40's. One is mine and one is my gf's. When we first got them they were reading each others heart rate. So Polar replaced both chest straps and transmitters. Fast Forward from Feb to Aug. Now when I my HRM is off. It has been saying my Max HR is 209-229. I know that is false b/c I usually only get up to…

Weights & Circuits
When using weights do you do all 4 exercises in a circuit and then do the next set all over again? or Do you do all 3 sets of 1 exercises before you move onto the next exercise? Would one way work better? When I first started using weights I did all 3 sets of one i a row but now I do them in a circuit fashion. I do rest…

TOM/Period/Aunt Flo
Does any of you other ladies lose weight during it?? I weighed this morning at 159 and 2 hours later I weighted 156. I'm not recording my weight loss b/c last time I did that I gained it all back. I haven't been able to get the scale to budge and once my TOM comes it drops and I'm only on day 1. I tend to eat less unlike…

Warm ups
I would like to share and was wondering what other people do for there warm-up. My partner and I do Turkish Get-ups. We use a 5lb weight and do 3 sets of 3 reps each side (stand up for a total of 6 times.) This is the link. I would practice each move individually and slow at home. One side at a time. I usually do mine…

HRM chest straps
Do you actually wash yours in the wash/dryer like it says? I'm not sure I want to do that because I think where the transmitter clips on shouldn't be washed. I just wash with water and skip the middle where the transmitter clips on.

Average/Max Heart Rate
I have been noticing on another thread topic I post in. My Average and Max Heart Rates are always lower than everyone. Any ideas? Is it b/c I have less fat to lose? For example on EA Active 2 My average HR was 108 and Max HR was 150. On the same workout my gf had average HRM 131 and Max HR of 184. We both workout equally…

Heart Rate Monitors and Insulin Pumps
I think we need to have a sticky on this in case other diabetes who use insulin pumps come across this site. Right now I ordered the Polar FT40 and figuring out if if will interfere with my Animas Ping insulin pump. With your insulin pump your not supposed to be near magnetic things b/c it can over/under your amount of…

When to record a weight loss
Do you automatically count your weight loss the 1st day? If you weigh everyday. I know how much weight can go up and down. I usually want to see the number more than once before I log it, just in case.

Gym Routines
I was curious what gym routines everyone has since I'll be joining a real gym next month. 5 years of Curves hasn't done much for me but that's neither here or there. :) What exercises do you love? What do you hate but do it b/c you need to? How many days a week? How long do you go? What classes do you love and have hated?

3lbs lost and under
I was wondering, Who has been here and lost 3lbs or less? I have been doing this since end of Oct and only lost 3lbs. Its irritating My gf started the same time and has lost 10lbs more than me and I understand b/c she has more fat to lose. I just would have thought that after 3 months I would be down at least 5-10lbs.

Hungry or not??
I would like to say most days (like 4-5) I'm not hungry. I feel like I just eat to live. Anyone else feel that way? OT: I swear if I wasn't type 1 diabetic the past 15 years I would be in worse shape literally. I may not always have the most healthy diet but I have been working on it. I could always have a great diet but…
