Intro
Hi everyone. I just ordered my Body Revolution. I love No More Trouble Zones and I like Ripped in 30. I had been considering buying p90x but with Body Revolution I don't need to buy a chin up bar, honestly I'm worried I couldn't handle p90x (I mean, chin ups???), and I since I love NMTZ so much, I thought this would be a…

mapping apps
Is there any app that lets you tap out your route rather than using GPS? I have an iPod touch, so that GPS ones don't work of course. I use mapmyrun on my computer, but I'd love to be able to tap out my route on my iPod while it's fresh in my head. I hope this isn't a stupid question ;) TIA

calories burned: MFP estimates vs. HRM estimates (Polar FT4)
hi! :happy: I know I was always glad to hear comparisons between what MFP gave people for their calories burned during a workout compared to what a HRM gave. Well I've been going by MFP estimates for about 9 months and just got my Polar FT4 HRM saturday. From my 2 workouts with my HRM so far, both times the HRM calories…

PICS--51 lbs down, BMI 39.3 to 30.6
That's right, my BMI was getting close to 40 and now it's almost to the 20s! I will only be obese for a little bit longer! :D I have logged my food everyday for almost 300 days now, and I've gotten probably about 250 decent work outs in those 300 days. I usually eat between 1500-1700 calories, but I was eating more when I…

Progress / Pics

Is the Polar FT7 worth just $15 more than the Polar FT4?
I'm considering getting the FT4, and I see that I can get the FT7 for just $15 more. I'm wondering if it's worth the extra cash. I know it stores 10 times more workouts, and that it shows if you are in a fat burning or fitness heart rate range. But I'm not sure if I buy that or not. TIA for any opinions :)

Half way there! 40 lbs lost and progress pics.
I started February 24, 2011 at 229 lbs, BMI was 39.3. Now I am 189 lbs, BMI is 32.4. I am now in the 180s, which feels amazing, and I'm half way to my goal. I don't really know if 149 will stay my goal, I've been saying 135-155. I was size 22/24 and now i'm 14/16. and 2x/3x to XL. I can't believe I'm out of the plus size…

something I love about this forum!
I love seeing people's replies saying they've lost, say, 20 lbs, and then looking at their siggy and seeing that they've lost another 10, 20, 30 lbs and gotten closer to their goal since they posted that reply :) Somehow that's just as inspiring to me as the progress pics and posts. To see that they are still going and…
