Insanity Burn??
Hey gang, I started Insanity this weekend and completed first two days. UNFORTUNATELY, my HRM decided to break down this weekend as well. I'm totally guess on my calorie burn. Anyone have a good estimate on what I burnt in 40 minutes? I'm 155 lbs and 5'6. Thanks!!

Anyone with Polar FT4
Hey everyone, I have a Polar FT4 (well, I'm on my 2nd one) and I'm having a lot of trouble with it malfunctioning. The last 2 times I worked out it was acting very irregular and wacky. It would skip my heart rate up to 215 and then down in hte 30's and then just lose all signal. All while in the middle of my jog. Could it…

Replacing my own HRM battery?
Does anyone else replace their own batteries on their HRM? Mine is a Polar ft4 and needs the battery replaced. I purchased a new battery online and my husband tried to take the back off last night with a coin and nearly stripped out the groove! UGH! I probably should have just taken it somewhere, but not sure where? I live…

My HRM is acting Wacky!???
The past several workouts my HRM has taken about 10 minutes to "get going" properly. It usually doesn't pick up a heartbeat until I play with it for about 10 minutes of starting and stopping it over and over again. Today once it got going it actually shot up to 212 while I was running (clearly NOT that hard) :-) I have…

What is my daily calorie deficit?
May be a dumb question, but what is the daily calorie deficit already set by MFP, or does it depend on what your loss is set at? I have my loss set at 1.5 lbs. per week. If my BMR is 1,428 and it sets me at 1,200 calories for the day, am I only deficiting 228 calories? (not taking in workout calories to account) Or is it…

flaxseed???
I have noticed a lot of people using flaxseed to things? What exactly is the added nutrient you get from flaxseed? Is it to add fiber? Can you add it to most anything? Sorry, maybe be a silly question but I don't have a lot of "experience" with flaxseed. :-) Thanks for helping!

Weird thing about TOM??
Hey Ladies, I have a strange question about TOM? I seem to lose really steadily before TOM and even during TOM, but then after it's over and stop losing and sometimes start to gain slowly. It seems totally backwards for me, but I can't understand why that would happen? Any ideas??

Please don't yell at me...
:smile: Okay, I have read and read and read about how you are supposed to eat all or most of your workout calories back. But I'm wondering, are there people out there that feel they really have more success NOT eating back those calories. I'm asking because in I just started in January and lost 5 lbs in the first 15 days…
