POLAR HRM vs MFP
Ok. I need to clarification/reassurance/introspect into my measuring my calorie use during exercise. I have the Polar FT7 HRM, and it is set to my body. I went for a walk, pushing my twins in a stroller (80lbs between the two of them) for 3 miles....about 55 minutes. My HRM said I burned 626 calories. Now, MFP, shows that…

Don't judge me, please
First off, I know there is a HUGE amount of controversy over the HCG diet. The bottom line is, we are all here for weight loss support. We all have different bodies that act in their own ways. I am not here to be judged for my decisions to use HCG to jumpstart my weight loss...which, by the way, has done more help than…

Polar HRM...or HRM in general that show calorie expenditure
Ok, please correct me if I am wrong, but I have always been told that when working out with weights or resistance of some kind, you burn calories faster than just an aeorbic workout. So, I guess I need clarification today because my hubby bought me a HRM that shows calories burned, and in an hour of cardio, I burned 466…

Green Giant Just For One veggies

So, I figure, even if there are days when I have only 2 of these for lunch, they are pretty dang good. And they also have…
