Polar HRM Question. HELP!
So... Let me preface this conversation by saying, "Yes, I'm an idiot." I accidentally washed the sensor for my HRM (Polar ft4). It wasn't attached to the strap, I accidentally left it in the pocket of my shorts after I took it off. Oops. I haven't used it since the unfortunate incident, but I want to know... Do you think…

Accuracy of HRM
I have a Polar, something... I have no idea what it is... It was a birthday gift from my best friend. I wear it when I go to Camp Gladiator (it's a bootcamp thing that's popular here in Texas). A lot of times it's telling me that I'm burning 500-600 cals for an hour of activity. Do you think this is accurate? I'm not…

Thank you MFP.
I have been drinking the Plexus Pink Drink for about a month and a half. I will say that my cravings for terrible foods and soda disappeared, but something just wasn't clicking in my brain. I searched for information here on the MFP forums and on the interwebs. Surprise, surprise. The users of MFP were right. It's not a…

Steady State Cardio?
Question regarding steady state cardio... Right now I do ZERO cardio and I would like to start. I am planning on getting a bike and a HRM. I saw in another post that a HRM only accurately tracks caloric burns for steady state cardio. Since I don't do any cardio, would it accurately any bike riding I would do? Or a brisk…

The Struggle... Advice is welcome, please and thanks..
The struggle... Everyone has their own fitness journey. What works for you may not work for me and what I do may not work for you. For example, I have a very dear friend. She is vegan. She eats mostly raw. This has worked for her and she has lost approximately 70 pound in the last year eating lots of raw greens, fruit,…

Craving Salty Crunch
A lot of times I find myself craving something salty and crunchy. I don't want to deny myself, because I know that doing that will trigger a binge (entire can of Pringles anyone?). Can you recommend something that I can bring in my lunch that will satisfy that salty crunchy need without completely blowing my macros/cals…

Too Much Fat, Not Enough Protein, Help!
My diary is open... I am noticing that I am going over on my fat and not eating enough protein. I don't feel full and I feel like I snack too much. I'm looking for brutal honesty. Bust my balls please. (Not literally, since I don't have balls) Where am I going wrong? How can I feel fuller? I drink about 64 oz of water/day.…

How did you get moving?
I have once again started over with MFP and I want to get moving again. I used to do C25K, but my energy level is not what it used to be. I'm battling some health issues which I'm trying to help with eating better and weigh loss, but it's completely boofing my energy at the moment. I'm thinking about walking, but I really…

Advice For my BF
My boyfriend and I have started trying to eat healthier and lose weight... He hasn't really lost anything and he's baffled as to why. Let me tell you, he's not eating... He may eat one meal/day. I'm at a loss as to what to tell him. I know he drinks a lot of his calories (energy drinks, soda, etc), but he's recently cut…

Sports Bras
If this isn't the right place to post this, please redirect me :happy: I am a... Busty girl... Extremely busty... Finding regular bras is a pain in the bum, much less a good sports bra. Do any of the ladies around here have a recommendation? I don't have a whole lot of money to spend, so inexpensive is good!

Losing Faster Than Planned
I have been using MFP consistently for about 5 and a half weeks. I used the MFP guided goal setting and placed it at 1 pound a week. I've adjusted my goal every 5 pounds so I stay at a consistent deficit. I usually have some calories left over at the end of the day and more if I do any workouts. The point of my post is…

Toe/Foot Numbness
I was working out on the elliptical last night and I noticed some strange pain/numbness/tingling in my toes and soles of my feet. I took about a minute rest and my feet returned to normal. I was able to finish my work out with no other pain (other than a bit of muscle soreness). I thought it may have to do with…
