Polar ft4 Issue
I have a Polar ft4 and love it. I haven't had it but a few months and it's having some sort of issue. I put it on as usual and start it. It finds my heart rate no problem and then within a couple of minutes it alarms that my HR is way above where it should be. It can shoot from 83 up to 190 and then it will go to 0.…

Plateau is BUSTED!
I joined MFP in January of 2011 and quickly lost 83 pounds. Then I hit the dreaded plateau. I tried everything. I did zigzagging calories, changed my workouts, spiked calories, drank more water, increased strength training, increased calories, ate all my exercise calories, cut back on them, you name it and I tried it. A…

Anyone trying "The 4 Hour Body" by Tim Ferriss?
Just curious if there is anyone out there that has tried this? If so, have you been successful? I've lost 84 lbs. since January 11th and have been on a plateau and can't bust through no matter what I do. Had a major "shock day" yesterday and hoping the scale shows a break through on Friday.

On A Plateau And It SUCKS!!

83 lbs. and Counting
With the advice of friends I went back in to MFP and changed my starting weight to reflect where I was at my highest. I had lost some weight prior to joining and didn't use that weight when I signed on. I have lost 83 pounds in the last 6 months! I have about 30 to 40 more to go to reach goal. Here's some pictures of my…

NSV
This was an ego booster for me yesterday. Stopped in the coffee shop yesterday with my oldest daughter. I noticed a man sitting at a table. He looked up and watched me the entire time I was in the shop. As we were leaving my daughter waited toward the door as I went to grab one other item. She said that man was not being…

HRM & Calories Burned
I use a Polar ft4 each time I work out. For those of you that use an HRM when do you take your final calorie burn for exercise? Do you log it in from the moment you stop, or do you wait for your heart rate to return to normal? Just curious.

Still Searching....
For a few great MFP friends. I have tried since joining MFP back in January to have a great support network of friends on MFP. I'm not looking to have a huge friends list. In fact, I don't. Part of the success is also having someone cheer you on and someone to cheer on as well. So sadly had to purge my friends list again…

BIG Milestones!
I joined MFP on January 11, 2011. In that time I've dropped 50 pounds and went from a size 24 to a size 14 drop and a 14 / 16 pant. A NSV for me is that I am now weighing in less than my husband. If I had ever forgotten a jacket and got cold, he would offer me his. I always turned it down as it wouldn't even reach around…
