Polar F1 HRM on craigslist - Should I buy it?
I found a Polar HRM on craigslist for $10. The listing says, "Polar Fitness heart rate monitor. Never used. May need battery. Sells new for $50. $10 takes it." There is a photo of it in the box. I sent an email asking for the model and he said it's an F1. I did some research online and found that it's an older model but…

Confused on how many calories
How do I find out what I really need to have my calorie goals at to lose? About 6 weeks ago, I started my calorie goal at 1200 / day and after 4 weeks, I hadn't lost any weight. I first want to say that I wasn't *perfect* by any stretch, I've learned more since then and still learning, so I'm not looking for advice on what…

What's for dinner? I only have 260 cals left for today!
So, I overdid it on lunch today. I have about 260 calories left for the rest of the day. Any suggestions on something for dinner? I have ground beef thawed out already but don't have to use it today. Anything else may require a grocery store trip. ugh...

Started exercising tonight! How to track it?
So, you guys talked me into it! In my other thread about what to eat for dinner with only 260 cals left for the day. Everyone said, "Exercise!" so I did! I picked up my girl at daycare after work, went to the park and did 8 laps around the 1/4 mile track. Whew! I started walking, then jogged a little, then walked, jogged,…

Can't find time to exercise. Help!
I envy you folks that have the time - or rather *make* the time - to exercise. I feel like I just can't fit it in to my day. I work full time, single mom of a 4yr old, taking 2 classes (only on Tuesdays but I have homework to do most nights), and I have normal household chores to keep up with (dinner, laundry, etc.). It…

Veggie marinade?
We like to grill and lots of times we cut up some fresh veggies, marinate them in Italian dressing (the kind you buy in the packet and make), skewer them and throw 'em on the grill. I figured I was eating healthy. Wrong! I figured up the nutritional values and there was 500+ calories in 1 serving! And 1300+ sodium! Yikes!…

I did nibble some and didn't enter it so add another 100 cals. I get up this morning and I've gained 2 lbs since yesterday morning! WTH?!?! Now I…

Notice something interesting at Subway
I was on Subway's website today trying to figure out the healthiest of the $5 sandwiches. There's a section on their website where you can choose your bread, meat, and toppings and it gives you the nutritional values. I put in the 9 grain wheat for my bread then compared that with the other breads. The white bread has 10…
