My NSV for 9 weeks being on MFP is my XL shirt I wore last Fall/Winter was tight on my upper arms and chest and the pants - size 16W were rather snug to say the least.

Polar FT7 question
I have been using my new Polar FT7 a couple of days now and I am curious about one of the readings. One of the settings says that my Fat Burning was 3:51 minutes and my Fitness was 33:09 minutes.

Only Week 4: Can I have an NSV?
Yes I can. Since starting MFP and eating healthier, watching what I eat and being more active with exercise I have found that the depression I have dealt with the past 11 years seems to be almost gone. The bonus is I did it without medication. I also feel more energetic and my skin feels less dry and itchy since I am…

30-DS question
I am starting 30-DS on Monday. I reviewed the youtube video and some other sites for information on it. Is it correct that you do this 10 days in a row with no day of rest???? That would be 30 days with no rest for your muscles. I was kind of shocked that Jillian advocates no day of rest for your muscles since the majority…
