less weight = more calories burned?
I just reset my hear rate moniter with my new weight. Went at the same run this morning, and burned more calories. Does weighing less make you burn more calories, or am I excited for nothing?

my scale broke!
I was an obessive weigher! this weekend I let my 9 year old have a bath in my giant tub, and she got so much water out of the tub that she litteraly drowned the scale. now I have none. I think this is a good thing, but I do need to replace her soon. Any suggestions? I hope the new scale and the old one agree!

I NEVER want to go to labor camp!
We live in a new subdivision and have a very large yard. We have a huge hill on the side of the yard that last year we landscaped, planted 10 trees and 100s of shrubs. Well, earlier in the week I noticed the vacant lot across the street has become a dumping ground for the boulders the builder is moving off the lots. So I…

Why is it?
I work out every day on my elliptical. I do use a heart rate moniter. It seems the longer (number of days) I use the machine, the less calories I burn while using it. Two weeks ago, I was on for 75 minutes and burned 680 calories (according to my HRM), today, the same amount of time burned only 535. Why the big difference?

need help with heart rate trouble shooting!
Hi! I just bought the Polar F4, and this is my 2nd day with it. Yestarday, it went fine (although to my dismay I was only burning 537 calories on my elliptical for an hour rather than the 650 mfp was calculating, but I digress....) I was using it today, and it would be going along fine, and then it would signal my heart…

I am so mad I could spit a cookie.
I went to the local sporting goods store yesterday to get a heart rate moniter. I know nothing about these things and asked the sales guy to help me. I told him that I specifically want one to tell calories burned. He sold me a polar f3. IT DOES NOT SHOW CALORIES BURNED. UG! Now I am frustrated because the thing looks so…

I cannot remember if it is salt or potassium that helps them after working out? I drink at least 30oz of water while working out and I get them in my feet after I am done and doing my stretching. Any suggestions?

new weight loss web site in the paper today...
when you register, you have to provide a credit card number. If you don't loose the weight, and you have to prove it with pictures of a scale........ wait for it..... wait for it........ they charge you per pound on your card! I'm thinking I don't need that kind of motivation yet.

banking calories?
I have read here a couple of times about banking calories. You know, saving up some during the week so you are not worrying about a binge later? This cannot be correct is it? If so..... I have a heck of a binge coming my way! If I left 200 calories uneaten every day this week, that does not mean I can eat 1000 extra today.…

Am I setting my goals to low?
Hi! I see everyones tickers, and I wonder if I should reach a bit higher. Frankly, I can barely see past losing the first 20 right now. Does a bigger weight loss goal make you inspired or discouraged?
